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

Post them on the internet.

...[He is going to try and grab the phone out of Hong Kong's pocket.]

[bauhinia]

[ Sidestepping! Or rather, attempting to. ] Hey, I'm kidding, yeah? But that'll probably make a great caller id photo.

[volcanoes]

[Stumbling. But not trying again for now.]

The lighting's probably terrible. [Iceland is a photo critic now.]

[bauhinia]

Are you kidding? I take great photos. [ That has nothing to do with the lighting...? ]

[volcanoes]

There are special settings for beaches, aren't there?

[bauhinia]

There totally are on my camera. [ He makes it appear from his other pocket, immediately snapping another picture. Uh, sorry about that. ]

[volcanoes]

[lskjdlk grabbing for it] Hong Kong!

[bauhinia]

[ He might try to lift it above his head this time. Too bad for him he is not taller than Iceland. ]

Yeah? Iceland? [ What about it? ]

[volcanoes]

No more photos!

[Continuing his attempt to grab the phone.]

[bauhinia]

Okay, okay. [ In a sudden show of... something... he relinquishes the camera. ]

[volcanoes]

[Oh, he wasn't entirely expecting to actually get it. ...Looking at the photos. He will delete the worse-looking one this is a compromise kind of.]

This whole trip's gonna be boring anyway, why bother with photographs?

[Giving the phone back.]

[bauhinia]

[ Thank you for giving it back. Now he can get more photos. And if he wants any more of Mr. Grumpypants here, he will probably take them on the sly.

As he has now lured Iceland into a false sense of security.

He does that. ]

I'm Asian, we like, take pictures of everything. Besides, it kinda makes things more interesting. Sorta.

[volcanoes]

[Hong Kong is cruel.]

So you'll put them up and write things like "and here's a picture of a tree, and this is the sand, and here's a tent"? That's not that interesting.

[Snapping a photo of Hong Kong on his own phone though because why not, apparently this is photo time.]

[bauhinia]

[ He prefers cunning. ]

Yeah, kinda. More like "here's a weird shape in the sand that looks like China's face" or something.

[ Making use of his finely honed camera sensing skills, he somehow manages to make a v-sign in time for the camera to potentially catch it.

It's like one of his ninja skills. ]

[volcanoes]

[A respectable trait either way(?).]

How many of those are you going to find? [...Looking at the photo...] How do you do that...

[bauhinia]

[ Cunning or cruelty? Iceland, you are a cold, cold guy, aren't you? ]

You'd seriously never believe me if I told you. [ Whether this means about sand piles shaped like China or his ninja skill, it isn't clear. Most likely it's the latter. ]

[volcanoes]

[It's right there in the name. Also just look at his brothers, he's really just a baby Viking...]

Really? [Taking another photo to test this.]

[bauhinia]

[ Good point. On both counts, that is. ]

Yep. [ This time he manages a different pose, with both hands even. ]

[volcanoes]

[That is the weirdest skill.] Have you ever had a bad photo taken of you?

[bauhinia]

Y'know, I honestly don't know. [ But his ego just got bigger, that's for sure. ]

[volcanoes]

I could go ask England or something. He's pretty bad at everything so if anyone took a bad picture of you it's probably him. [He's lying there's no way he'd go talk to England about anything except how stupid England is. Also is it even possible for your ego to get bigger?]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, probably when I was littler or something. [ Whoa, let's not pursue that train of thought. Nor speculate about how stupid England may or may not be....

And yes, it is completely possible for his ego to get bigger. It is only limited in a horizontal sense. It can grow infinitely in a vertical direction. ]

[volcanoes]

[Iceland doesn't want to think about baby pictures. Or baby portraits, which Iceland can't guarantee Norway doesn't have on him at any moment somehow.]

Get revenge, take pictures of England.

[bauhinia]

[ It's hard being the baby of the group, isn't it? ]

Oh, believe me, I have.
