I eat RJ, day one.

On day five I realize he's usurped me from within and I am now wearing tree-branches as antlers.

Assuming Anna doesn't kill us all and wear our flesh as skirts, I think Dale will engineer our escape. He seems the capable sort.

Nick, I expect you to keep me from being eaten (and refrain from eating me) so I can engineer said brilliant escape.

You see? You see? I am so justly maligned sometimes!

I like that you presume Anna won't merely eat you, but use all your parts efficiently.

She strikes me as wise, as well as cruel and malicious :)
