that shouldnt be as funny as it is (insert keyboard smash here)
James might be dicking around trying to find Mary, but I don't doubt Harry would've be doing the same with "have you seen a little girl???" if Cheryl weren't there.
True, Laura would be running around like a monkey child, but James or Harry could watch her (despite his habit of losing children...)
I personally love Lisa, but medical care is objectively important regardless. Also, Kaufmann is an ass. If there were white claudia I'm sure she would be able to help the team on that front. Also, she did take care of Alessa for years so she could patch up the goblin children when they inevitably get hurt.
Heather.... yeah, kinda. She's probably the most recently educated one, so she might have learned about plant identification or water desalination.
Henry could be sitting with a wildfire behind his back and he wouldn't notice. But all protags do have some hunting/killing skills so he could be working on food.
Eileen would be helpful if she was healthy, I'd guess. Plus she's sociable so she would be a nice addition. James could be an issue with her, especially that nurse costume. At least islands don't have pillows. Probably?
Cybil is a living powermove tbh. She would be good at ordering and organizing, but she and James might have issues, what with the whole "I killed my wife" thing. She would probably stay calm under pressure, which is an important skill.
They might survive for a time, but too many of them are liabilities. Tbh, just dig a pit and toss Sr. Sunderland in it. Find vines/rope and tie the children's hands in it, like a kindergarten walking rope. But yeah... not the best band of misfits.
