Who: Heather and ~~Open!~~Amy
When: After this
Where: In the woods, at the half built log cabin she had started. Just a little off one of the hiking trails.
What: She was antsy, she was a little pissed off, and she was feeling really bitchy. To take some of that stress off, it was time to do some good decent work with her hands.
Status: In progress
Rating: TBD

Okay so it was irrational to be mad at Robin for his point of view. It was insane to be out in the middle of the woods, sweaty and hot, building up on this little shack. But there had to be something she could do rather than sit and wait for the shoe to drop. Making a list of people, and where they were from, and what they could do, just wasn't enough. So she did what she did best, putting everything else out of her mind, she started by cutting down a few surrounding trees.

She wasn't a lumberjack by far, but she understood the sharp end of the ax went into the lowest part of the tree and that was all she needed to know. The slab had been poured for weeks. The pipes had been set for the plumbing, even the thick rebar in place for the longer walls, all stuck in to the cement for weeks. Waiting for the logs, which she had planned on using instead of conventional building materials.

After like the fifth tree she chopped down, the size of the project hit her. This wouldn't be something she could finish in days, or weeks even. Especially by herself. She had been messing with Tony, when she said she was tempted to use the new found power of the pout to bring Gibbs here. But now, as her shoulders ached, sweat streaming down her back, she kinda wish she had. Though there was no guarantee that the special agent would help her, he'd probably do his best to lock her up for playing part in bringing him here. Especially if he happened to be brought in before Ari was taken care of. And knowing her luck, in this place, he would be brought here before that. Besides this was her project.

It had started out as a little get-a-way for Robin and Marian, but the weather had kept her from finishing it. And now she knew it had been unrealistic to even try to do it so last minute. She leaned heavily against the ax handle, kneeling down in the underbrush of the wood, taking a much needed breather. She lost her maintenance jump suit hours ago, cut down to just a tank top and a pair of cut off denim short shorts, and big thick steel toed boots. She paid homage to her hometown by wearing a Jericho hat she'd bought in the gift shop.

Amy was antsy. She hadn't heard from the Doctor, even though Rose had said he was here, and she was in an unfamiliar place. What did that mean? Sit still and wait? Of course not. It meant go out and explore, see what this world had to offer. As far as she knew, it could be on Earth, but Amy wasn't nearly as skilled as some people at figuring out which planet, solar system, and time she was in. She felt a bit of deja vu as she wandered in her nightie through the resort.

There wasn't much to see as far as the cabins were concerned, and it wouldn't do to start knocking on doors so late at night, so after she checked out where her room was (it was a posh cabin by all means, though not as familiar as her old, creepy, seemingly empty home), she headed toward the woods.

It seemed normal, as far as she could tell, until she heard what sounded like an ax going into a tree. At least she hoped it was a tree and not some poor person's body. On second thought, Amy creeped closer a little more carefully, part of her vying for adventure and part of her kicking herself for not bringing something that could be used to defend herself. As she got closer, she saw someone standing with an ax and some wood. Hopefully the person was benevolent. Thinking it was best not to surprise her, given that she had an ax, Amy called over, "Hello there!" The Scottish girl waved slightly, smiling nervously.

She just about jumped out of her skin when she heard the voice behind her. Of all the places she expected to run into anyone, it wasn't out here. Okay maybe one of the hiking guides, or one of the werewolves(Though she really didn't want to run into one of them), or even Robin himself. With a jerk she turned toward the voice. Eyes wide, dropping the handle of the ax she placed her hand over her heart.

"Hi, you scared the daylights out of me." She chuckled at the way the beat of her heart hammered against her chest. Raising up, after a moment, she dusted her hands off and followed suit with her knees. Brushing the cap off of her head she ran her fingers through her sweat soaked hair, before she stuffed the ballcap back on. Feeling a little more presentable, she stepped away from her project.

"I can't say we've met, I'm Heather." Why not get the preliminaries out of the way? She held her hand out, broad friendly smile in place.

	Amy grinned. "I know mates like that. Bloody frustrating but you can't do without them." Much like the Doctor sometimes. Pondering the pros of a tour, Amy nodded again. "Yeah, I'd like a quick tour. I'm still a bit antsy. And it'd be nice getting to know places in the dark as well as when it's light out." Things always looked different in the dark. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
