Ratchet flushed and grinned, both at Annabel and Simon. "Aww, pshaw, we're all stuck here, might as well make it as easy and fun as possible for everybody, because we're not gettin' any help with that from Chris. And yep, I built that thing this afternoon. I think I'm gonna put together a towel rack next when I have the time; if we're gonna get wet or dirty again, it'll be nice to have a place to put our clothes so that they don't get all mildewed and moldy."

((Just so you know: The changing station is between Jay's bunk and the empty one across from it, up against the back wall.))

 Well, at least people were proud of her for it, even if she was starting to feel guilty. Giving him a sympathetic smile at the head bump, she muttered a small 'ouch', rubbing at her own pained welt. She may not have understood the sound barrier comment, but hey! He was trying to put himself out there!
"Christ, you really heard that? I didn't think we were yelling that loudly!"
When the camper she didn't know stumbled in, Annabel's expression fell from one of elated happiness to content, wondering who the new girl was. Then, however, the girl addressed her, and Annabel's ears perked. Oh! Well, hell, she always liked anyone who complimented her! Swelling slightly with pride, Annabel waved a hand in mock dismissal.
"Thank you kindly! Gotta say, though, I'm here to look out for you guys! Any Rat b*****d who makes MY cabin jump off cliffs? Well." She shifted slightly, giving a grin.
"He's going in with me."
At the mention of a towel rack, Annabel gave a small hoot of appreciation, moving toward the changing station.
"Hell yes, man! This is like Pimp My Cabin!"

"I don't know if it's Pimp My Cabin; more like Cabin Improvement, I think!" Ratchet laughed. "Seriously, though, these buildings are, like... man. I think the interns built 'em all without help. There's a lot of good a simple contractor could do out here. She sat down on her bunk, now equipped with a soft blanket, and began to sort her tools. She polished them with a shirtsleeve, noting any little nicks, dings, and dents that needed more care than she could give them here. "Anything else you guys think the cabin needs? Odds are if it can be made out of little bits of wood, I'll probably be able to make it."

 "Or... Full Cabin?" Simon attempted with a small grin, trying to get in on the television-show-name-joke bandwagon. "A towel rack w-would be great, too."
"I'm not surprised the cabin is so badly made... that host seems like he only wants us to be alive and well enough to be entertaining," he sighed after Ratchet's remark on the slapshod piece of construction they were living in. "He'd probably go crazy if we all found this place peaceful and enjoyable, you know?" He gave a small laugh at the thought, heading over to sit on his bed and idly rummage through his belongings before finding his glasses and putting them back on.

"Heh; with these two around, it might as well be Full Cabin!" Ratchet whipped Edward and Bella out from under her bed, where she'd put them when she began working with her tools. Grinning, she explained their presence. "I rescued them when I 'borrowed' the knife that was sticking out of the doors. I needed it to hack down some saplings. It's more like a machete than any kitchen knife I've ever seen. It kinda scares me; I wonder where he got it." Ratchet pulled the knife from her bag, showing the incredibly sharp blade to her cabinmantes. "Ah, well. It serves its purpose- well, at least my purpose for it. It cuts baby trees good." She smiled wickedly. "Speaking of baby trees, I need to go back to the woods and get the poles for it. Care to go with me, anybody? It's a pretty short walk, and the saplings that I want to use are just on the edge of the forest."

Annabel's eyebrows raised when the puppets were brought out, unable to place why the other girl had them. But, then again.. that might've been the puppet show of horrors Simon had earlier spoken of. Snickering slightly at the fact one of her cabinmates had stolen them, Annabel shook her head in amusement.
"Christ, that's messed up, Ratchet. Do you have any idea where those things have been, anyway? Probably covered in all kinds of sick s**t. Ich." Shaking her nose in fake disgust, she couldn't keep off the smile that was playing at her maw.
At the question of traveling, however, the smile quickly faded.
"Sorry, man. I'm... actually kind of exhausted, and I've got somewhere to be in a bit." And that... wasn't entirely a lie?
"I'm going to go chill with Ariel. Spend a little time chatting, y'know? Otherwise, I'd totally go with you."
Turning back to look at Billy, she smiled brightly at him.
"Well. I think your jump was great, no matter what Chris says about it." And really, that was true- had she seen his jump, anyway. But, that was alright; as long as they were talking nicely, she could put that out there. Probably reassure Simon a bit, too.
"The team's glad you jumped at all! Could've pussied out, like I almost did!"

Billy looked up from his D&D manual. He was still a bit sore but a hike would help him to get in shape a little. He was thinking that he would need that. "I'll go with you to the forest. I may have gotten tranqued there but it doesn't mean I am afraid of it!" He said, putting the manual back where he had hidden it. Grabbing his bag he walked up to Ratchet. "I'm ready."

"Sweet!" Ratchet said to Billy, smiling. "We won't be goin' in too deep; just enough for the baby trees. And don't worry about it, Annabel; me and Billy'll do just fine gettin' some saplings for a towel rack. I think I'll make it double-sided; one side for towels, while the other side can be for smaller things, like gloves and socks, that'll be miserable to have wet." Grabbing her pack, hammer, chisel, and really big knife inside of it, she hopped up next to Billy. "C'mon!"

Billy nodded and followed the girl out of the cabin. Hopefully nothing like being darted would happen again.

 ozzie poked his head into the cabin and looked around. "hullo?" he quietly ventured, as his eyes were still a bit blurry from his days-long tranq-induced nap. he glanced around and spied a bottom bunk bed in the back corner that looked as if it was unoccupied at the moment. he was drained from the emotional roller coaster he was just on, and decided to curl up on his bed snuggling his plushie stegosaurus while he waited for someone to show up and tell him just what exactly was going on.
(in other words, ozzie claims the bottom bunk next to the changing rooms biggrin )
edit 7-7-09 (ozzie is currently on the cliff for the first challenge)

 Jay walked up to the cabin's front steps with Axl, looking a bit unsure. More thoughts came up. What would her team think? Would they hate her for possibly screwing up the next challenge? Oh god, that would be terrible. No one seemed to be around, either. Bummer.
She turned to Axl, "so, uh, thanks for walking me... Probably would've tripped by myself and needed stitches."

 "Hey, no problem," he said, smiling at her. "I just want you to be okay." He looked around. "I don't see anyone though.. Are you sure you don't just want to go to the nurse?"
