You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

There is a freakishly huge grasshopper down here that loves amaryllis, but nothing else. I left one in a pot in the yard for 2 weeks when we moved down here and they ate the entire bulb. (I hate the lubbers - they are 3 inches long and like some sort of prehistoric nightmare bug: [link] )
