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

Depends on the psychologist. A lot of them would probably lock me up when I said my name. [ Could be... both.... ]

[volcanoes]

That would be awkward for your boss to get you out of. Better behave. [Probably...]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, thankfully I've got people older and wiser than me who make most of my decisions. [ Taking a picture of yet another palm tree. How is it that he sounds sarcastic without changing the tone of his voice? ]

[volcanoes]

Do they make decisions for China, too?

[Eyeing the palm tree. It does not really look different from any of the other palm trees to him.]

[bauhinia]

He's more one of those making the decisions.

[ It so does, look at its trunk. It's slightly straighter than some of the others around here. See? ]

[volcanoes]

Ah. [Managing to make that sound somewhat sympathetic.

He can't look at the tree too much or he really will see a difference and then he will be worried he is becoming Norway or something.]

You're going to fill up your memory with trees.

[bauhinia]

[ The fact that he catches it in one syllable says something. Being a teenager is Rough.

That seems fair. But Hong Kong will continue to photo-document every remotely interesting thing they pass. Just in case. ]

I've got extra memory cards. [ Of course. ]

[volcanoes]

Label them by which trees you photographed on them.

[This island is bigger than he thought it was, but hopefully they'll be coming out the other side of the path soon...]

[bauhinia]

That's not a bad idea.

[ He's not too fussed if it takes awhile. What else is he (are they) going to do anyway? ]

[volcanoes]

[This is a good point. Better wandering around than being forced to help out doing actual work setting up at the beach, that would be just terrible.]

Maybe if you take enough pictures you'll get a ghost in one. At least that'd be interesting.

[bauhinia]

[ So like-minded. Hong Kong considers this beneficial: he can hide from China and England at the same time. ]

You think? That'd be pretty awesome. [ He might start taking even more pictures. ]

so apparently they won't get to the mansion until late evening, should we make a night thread...

[volcanoes]

[Iceland gets to get away from his brothers, everybody wins.]

Maybe someone got shipwrecked and died here and their soul haunts the forest.

sounds good to me! do you wanna start it or should I?

[bauhinia]

[ It is a win-win situation that way, isn't it? ]

Wow, spooky. [ He doesn't really sound spooked somehow, but he appreciates the story. ]

I've got it 8D

[volcanoes]

You can get pictures of him and become a famous ghost hunter. [Straight-faced, somehow...]

((OOC: Here you go! This can't possibly end badly for them.))

thank you!! :D

[bauhinia]

That's like, always a good backup if succeeding Jackie Chan's legacy doesn't work out.

[ Equally straight-faced. ]

[ ooc; no, never........ ]
