The fact that people reform when eaten on this Friendly Beach means most of what goes on there is considered good-natured fun by everyone concerned.

There is still a lot of genuinely predatory behavior, though, and on the prey side, a lot of people who volunteer to be eaten have second thoughts halfway down or when the stomach acids hit.

This is why the rule exists, "Once it's swallowed, it stays swallowed." You're going to reform, so settle down and accept you're not getting out of that pred the way you got in.
