Day One

[diejoubu]

Day One The nations arrive on the nameless island by boat at mid-afternoon. They will be dropped off at a quiet dock and boat will leave shortly after. At the end of the dock, they will find some items that have been sent ahead for them by their bosses. Among these items are: - Four tents - Packs of bottled water and snacks - A fishing net and a pair of poles - Two pots and a pan - Four first aid kits - A limited supply of alcohol - An emergency radio - A limited supply matches/lighters - Two maps of the island The beach is nice; clean with white sand and a shady forest up the shore. Aside from the sounds of the waves, seagulls, and the wind blowing through the forest, the island is silent. The nations wanted to a deserted, tropical island getaway and this is certainly the right place for it. The Nations can begin to set up camp or try to explore the island. Due to the time they arrived on the island, they won't be able to get too far before night falls. Activity Weather: Sunny, clear, and warm with the occasional cool breeze. Electronics: Electronic items will work fine during the day without issue. If you're desperate to update your Tw*tter account, you might get lucky and find an area on the beach with a faint signal. It will take a few tries and some patience but you will be able to update your social network of choice or make a brief phone call before you lose connection. Magic: Magic will work normally on the island during the day. Animals: Any animal companions brought to the island by a nation will stay close to their companion. Otherwise, they will act normally. ???: No unusual activity. Day One | Night One Day 2 will go up on 4 June

What are you doing? Come help me set up our tent, aru.

[Nevermind that Hong Kong will not actually be in the same tent. China doesn't know that yet.]

[bauhinia]

[ ...

Snapping a candid shot of you, big bro. ]

I thought you were like, an expert at that stuff.

[zhongguo]

[He does make entertaining faces.]

That doesn't mean I should do it by myself!

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong has a photographic catalogue of these. ]

Okay, sure. [ Wait, is he actually putting the phone away? ] What d'you want me to do?

[zhongguo]

[That's a good boy. Look. He even laid out all the pieces. It's mostly done. Just needs to be raised.

...

This won't end well, will it?]

You take the other side. Like this.

[bauhinia]

[ Nope. The tent will mostly likely try to eat them, then Hong Kong will make a break for it, leaving China to be consumed by its canvas-y mass. ]

Like this?

[ No, not at all like that. ]

[zhongguo]

Not like that. Like this.

[bauhinia]

Like this? [ Backwards. ]

[zhongguo]

No, that's backwards. Like this, aru.

[bauhinia]

[ Slowly reversing the fold.

Now it's lopsided. ]

[zhongguo]

[Babby is trying. Bless his heart.]

That's better, aru...

[bauhinia]

[ Don't say that! He could very well be trying...

to intentionally sabotage this.

Okay, probably not. ]

Now what though? [ He holds up his progress, straightening it out a little. ]

[zhongguo]

Now we pound the stakes in. You just stay there. Don't let go.

[bauhinia]

[ Okay. He will "just stay here." He will perform this duty admirably. Look at how admirably he is doing what he was asked. ]

[zhongguo]

[China is very proud.]

See? That wasn't hard, was it?

[bauhinia]

[ He stares down at their handiwork. ]

I guess not, no.
