Gwen continued to laugh. "I don't suppose you've got another round of blanks, do you? Just in case Miss Sarah and I have another...difference of opinion," she remarked.
She then composed herself and cleared her throat, trying to shift back into professional mode. Even though it was nice to know she wasn't alone in the contempt for Sarah camp. "But in all seriousness, it's probably best to keep those prop guns out of sight. We don't need any more surprises."
"They're safe," he said, reassuringly.
"Ah, very tempting, but I should scoot," she said with an apologetic smile. "Lots more hungry people out there waiting for me. Mr. Mason, this is Mr. Ondrasik. He's an actor and playwright. Mr. Mason is a film and television producer. I'm sure you'd both love to compare and contrast the respectability of your chosen fields. If you'll excuse me, I need to continue on with dinner delivery. G'night, gentlemen!"
"How disapointing," he said, with a sly smile. "Let's talk later."
"I am aware of his work," Erik said, with a smug look. "I'm just kidding. How you doin' Billy? I haven't seen you since... we did that project. You know, the one with Kevin Bacon."

HEIDI "Okay, okay," I said through giggles as little Sarah dragged me along in the direction of a woman who had gathered fruit. I gave a friendly smile to the woman, who I heard little Sarah refer to as Gwen, and stood quietly as the two caught each other up on their day. Little sarah "O Gwen this is Heidi," she smiled. "She is my best friend...." she stopped and looked at Mr. Flopper. "Well besides you Mr. Floppers." Sarah giggled.I beamed down at little Sarah when she refered to me as her best friend, then looked up at Gwen, smiling a bit shyly. Illustrious? I thought as I raised my brow a moment before returning to a smile as I shook her hand. "Nice to meet you, Gwen. I think I remember you from the flight, but I was pretty distracted as I was sitting next to a very entertaining person." I couldn't help but chuckle a bit when I recalled some of John's antics and wondered where he'd been hiding these last couple of days. Cyrus spoke very highly of you when we met this morning. And I think we might be neighbors. But don't worry, I'll keep the music down," she assured her.I felt myself blush a little with embarrassment. "I have no idea why, I mean, I just met him," I stammered in confusion, then changed the subject so I'd stop sounding like an idiot and make myself blush even more. "Well hell, if you have music, please turn it up! Um, unless it's country, that is," I said, back to smiling.

Gwen observed Heidi's slight stammer and blush at the mention of Cyrus. Which would help explain Cyrus' sudden relocation that afternoon. Not that Gwen would make assumptions; there had been too many of those going around, most of them about her. And she didn't like to make anyone uncomfortable anyway, especially when that person would be residing only a few feet away.
"Well hell, if you have music, please turn it up! Um, unless it's country, that is."
"Not a country fan, huh? Duly noted," she nodded with a smile. "Strangely enough, I was just talking to Jake and Ethan about that subject; Jake's from Tennessee, he's promised to tell me all about Graceland."
She turned to Sarah. "And he's a naval lieutenant, so he might able to use some advice from you on keeping his midshipmen in line when he gets back to his boat," she suggested.
Looking back to Heidi, she continued, "I'm pleased to inform you that the dinner menu consists of mango, and...mango. If either of you are interested."

Willo walked up behind Gwen and tapped her sholder gently.
"Hey, can I talk to you?"

"Not a country fan, huh? Duly noted," she nodded with a smile. "Strangely enough, I was just talking to Jake and Ethan about that subject; Jake's from Tennessee, he's promised to tell me all about Graceland."
"Jake," I repeated as I wracked my brain. I shook my head when the name didn't register. "I don't think I've met him yet. But I know Ethan. He's been really helpful and seems to know a lot of random survival techniques. I'm guessing he's one of those people who like to camp out in remote areas for fun. How exactly that could be considered fun..." I joked with a shrug.
She turned to Sarah. "And he's a naval lieutenant, so he might able to use some advice from you on keeping his midshipmen in line when he gets back to his boat," she suggested.
I laughed at that. "This little drill sergeant would be running his ship in 5 minutes flat. She'd probably have the lieutenant scrubbing the floors," I added with a laugh as I smiled down at little Sarah. I affectionately ran my hand down her hair.
Looking back to Heidi, she continued, "I'm pleased to inform you that the dinner menu consists of mango, and...mango. If either of you are interested."
"Oh yay, mangoes," I said sarcastically with complete lack of enthusiasm. "Haven't had one of those in, oh," I pretended to think back as I tapped my chin, "goin' on about 4 or 5 hours now." I smiled. "Thanks so much, but it's okay. I have a few stored in my shelter so I'd rather let the people without any food have it." I paused a moment. "You know, that was really nice of you, going in there and collecting all that fruit for other people. I hope people appreciate it. If you guys ever go again, let me know. I'd love to be able to do something to help." I'd been feeling rather useless as I didn't have many skills pertaining to survival in the middle of nowhere.

"You're welcome, Erik. Enjoy. See you around." Jake waved, watching as he went to talk to Gwen and a few other people he hadn't familiarised himself with. He figured with Gwen there they didn't need another mango vendor, and decided he would try and find some other people Gwen hadn't spoken to yet. "Hey, wait, have you seen... damn." he cursed to himself, realising he had forgotten to ask Erik if he had seen the doctor.
"Hey there." he smiled, walking up to him.
Jake turned around at Ethan's greeting, smiling to him. "Hey Ethan. You got one of these mangos from Gwen, right? Are you looking for her? I just spoke with her a few minutes ago, after we decided to split up to distribute all the fruit we picked. She's over there." he said, looking over to the small huddle that had formed around the flight attendant.
"Hey, by the way," he paused, figuring he could ask Ethan the question he would have originally asked Erik. "Have you seen Jack around? Gwen suggested I should go see him about my shoulder during my rounds; you know how she is. Still doing her job, looking after everyone. You would think in this tropical paradise, that she'd take the opportunity to put her feet up." he chuckled.

Erica opened her eyes. The strong scent of blood masked the evening air. She looked down at her wrist. Sure enough there was a large arrow sticking out of it and a patch of blood had formed on the sand. "Aw crap!" Erica said as the pain came flooding back to her. She stood up and looked around the beach. She saw Jack huddling over the marshal. Erica started moving in his direction. She tapped him lightly on the back. "Excuse me," she said to him, "I heard you're the doctor around here. Can you do something about this?" She showed him her wrist with the arrow sticking out of it.

"Yeah, I certainly do." he replied, looking over at Gwen. "She puts other people before herself. She's definately something."
He continued to look over at Gwen, and then quickly looked back at Jake. "No, I haven't seen Jack, sorry."

"I know, it's complete madness, isn't it? Frankly, my idea of roughing it is staying at a hotel without an indoor pool," Gwen confided.
"But you're right, Ethan's been a bit of a godsend. I think he said he's an instructor at a camp or something, when he's on leave from teaching. He's been immensely helpful. That shelter of mine? His handiwork. There's no way I could have built that myself."
"You know, that was really nice of you, going in there and collecting all that fruit for other people. I hope people appreciate it. If you guys ever go again, let me know. I'd love to be able to do something to help."
"Oh, it's no problem," Gwen replied, waving a hand dismissively. "I still feel that obligation to serve everyone, even if I'm no longer in uniform. But thanks for the offer; I'll keep you posted. We're still exploring, trying to find other food sources. Preferably ones that don't involve the climbing of trees."
She glanced up at the treeline. "Granted, no one needs to be going into the jungle anymore than necessary. At least not till we know what's out there. Giant gorillas, psycho Marlon Brando, a Tyrannosaurus Rex? I wonder if it's too much to hope that a dishy paleontologist who looks a bit like Sam Neill was among the passengers," she mused with a wink.
"Hey, can I talk to you?"
She turned when she felt a tapping on her shoulder to face Willo. "Oh, hey," she said. "What's up?"

"Uhm...." Willo said, and tugged Gwen gently out of earshot of the others and spoke in a secretive voice. "I saw you were signing with Grace earlier... would you be willing to help me learn some of that?"

"and yes its good that i haven't died yet, one of the lucky ones i suppose."
"Oh, most definitely, most definitely." he agreed, nodding his head. "Better to be a live rat than a dead lion, to take that Robert Bolt quote completely out of context."

"Uhm...." Willo said, and tugged Gwen gently out of earshot of the others and spoke in a secretive voice.
"Excuse me for a second, ladies," she said to Sarah and Heidi, letting herself be led aside.
"I saw you were signing with Grace earlier... would you be willing to help me learn some of that?"
Gwen raised an eyebrow. "Well, I suppose it depends on what you want to say to her," she teased, lightly crossing her arms. She'd been through the same routine so many times with girls wanting to get close to her brother, and most of the time she'd given them honest and accurate tutorials. Most of the time. Of course, there was that one annoying girl she'd taught to say Your head looks as grand as a turnip, which had caused Julian to do a spit-take with his pint when the girl had tried it on him. Good times...
"I'm not as familiar with American Sign Language as I am with British," she explained, "but I'd be happy to teach you the alphabet and some commonly-used phrases. After all, Grace will run out of notebook pages at some point, and it would be nice to know there's someone else looking out for her."

"What, uhm, whatever you can help me with would be fantastic," he said, with a smile. "I don't have a lot of choices as far as teachers go, so..."
Willo scratched his head and looked at her, with a smirk. "You know something I don't, don't you?" He smiled and laughed a little bit. "Don't answer that. I know you'd just use sarcasm, anyway. I appricate your help, I just... I want to be able to talk to her on her terms, you know?"

Gwen placed her hand on her chest in an expression of mock horror. "Willo, you wound me!" she gasped. "I am perfectly capable of sincerity and compassion. Every now and then."
She finally smiled warmly. "But that's very thoughtful of you. Writing and lipreading can get a bit tiring for someone, and most people do appreciate when you simply make the effort, even if it's not perfect."
She placed the fingers of her right hand against her lips and moved it downward into the palm of her left hand. Then placing her left hand palm down at chest height, she moved her right hand over it in an arc. "And that would be lesson one: goodnight," she informed him.
((OOC: I hope that's not totally wrong. Gracie?))

"Oh, I hear ya. I've always said it'd be a cold day in hell before I go camping. Guess they're figure skating in hell right now. I never would dreamed I'd be in a situation like this," I waved my hand, indicating the bonfires, crude shelters, and jungle. "It's one of those things you hear about but never think it would happen to you."
"But you're right, Ethan's been a bit of a godsend. I think he said he's an instructor at a camp or something, when he's on leave from teaching. He's been immensely helpful. That shelter of mine? His handiwork. There's no way I could have built that myself."
"Instructor at a camp, huh? Well that would explain a lot." I smiled. "Yah, I had a lot of help putting my shelter together. I think the last time I build myself any type of shelter was at least 15 years ago, using a blanket and chairs." I smiled as memories of building blanket tents with my little sister flitted through my mind.
"Oh, it's no problem," Gwen replied, waving a hand dismissively. "I still feel that obligation to serve everyone, even if I'm no longer in uniform. But thanks for the offer; I'll keep you posted. We're still exploring, trying to find other food sources. Preferably ones that don't involve the climbing of trees."
She glanced up at the treeline. "Granted, no one needs to be going into the jungle anymore than necessary. At least not till we know what's out there. Giant gorillas, psycho Marlon Brando, a Tyrannosaurus Rex? I wonder if it's too much to hope that a dishy paleontologist who looks a bit like Sam Neill was among the passengers," she mused with a wink.
"Please do," I said as I nodded. "I'd start going crazy if I had nothing to do. I'll admit, I've never tried climbing a tree in my life, but I'm willing to learn." I laughed at her statement about Sam Neill. "Well, if we're going to start calling dibs, I'll take Jeff Goldblum's character. I'd love to be entertained by his clever dry sarcastic takes on our situations throughout the day."
I stopped my babbling as Willo approached, asking for a private word with Gwen.
"Excuse me for a second, ladies," she said to Sarah and Heidi, letting herself be led aside.
I just nodded as Gwen stepped away and smiled down at little Sarah. "I'm glad to know I have a friendly neighbor. How are you holding up, sweetie? Are you and Mr. Floppers getting tired?"

"I'm glad to know I have a friendly neighbor. How are you holding up, sweetie? Are you and Mr. Floppers getting tired?" Sarah and Mr. Floppers were getting tired but Sarah wasn't ready to sleep yet. so she would of course lie to Heidi and tell her no, she wanted to stay up with the Grown-ups.
"I'm not sleepy," she said just as a yawn appeared, she sighed. 'Stupid yawn gave me away.' she said in her mind. Sarah smiled up at Heidi and huged Mr. Floppers tight, taking a bite of her mango.

"Okay, I believe you," I joked, laughing as she yawned. "If you don't wanna go to bed yet, you don't have to. It's not as if we have a schedule to keep. Just be sure you try and tell me you're ready for bed before you pass out, okay?"
