Night One

[diejoubu]

Night One After an excited day, night falls on the island. The beach is surprisingly bright at night thanks to the full moon above. As it was during the day, the island is very quiet at night and sounds consist of calming waves, soothing wind, chirping insects, and birds in the forest. Status Weather: Cool with clear skies and a light breeze. Electronics: Overall, electronics function normally. Unlike during the day, Nations will be completely unable to catch any signals. Sorry, you'll have to update your F*cebook another time. Things of note: Hong Kong's MP3 player will freeze when he tries to listen to it. Turning it off and then back on will correct the issue. The batteries in Cuba and Latvia's flashlights will die despite the fact they had new batteries in them. They will have to replace the batteries to get the flashlights to work again. Contrary to everyone else's wireless troubles, Iceland will be the only nation with any sort of signal on his cell phone. He will not have any problems with his phone. Magic: Magic is very effective tonight, some times too effective. It must be the work of the full moon. Animals: Pets will stay close to their owners but otherwise act normally. ???: No unusual activity(?) Lithuania visits the spring at night. Despite his experience, anyone who visits the spring after this will notice nothing out of the ordinary. A voice speaks to Italy. Iceland and Hong Kong go to the mansion but are unable to explore further. The United Nations is notified and sends a reminder out. Iceland is the only one able to receive it. Germany, China, Netherlands, Seychelles, and Japan hear things in the middle of the night. Day One | Night One Day 2 will go up on 4 June.

[It's really quiet out here--Lithuania can't hear the beach at all. It's a nice change; Lithuania could almost fall asleep here. Not quite, though. He'll examine the spring; it really looks quite deep, doesn't it?]

( The spring is surprisingly deep. Not that Lithuania has any way of knowing just yet but even Russia and Netherlands would find that the water comes to their shoulders.

The surface is completely still-- not even a ripple or a wave. Lithuania can use his flashlight to see how far the spring goes but his light doesn't go very far. It's as if the lake takes the light and turns it to darkness. His flashlight will be the only light on the lake.

It suddenly gets darker. The moon is gone. There is a breeze. If Lithuania looks up, he will see a dark cloud move across the moon quickly.

Suddenly it is bright again. The moon will shine in the sky and off the spring's surface.

Everything is normal now and he can hear birds and insects in the surrounding woods.

From the beach, he will hear someone call his name. )

[Lithuania casts his flashlight out over the mirror surface of the lake, watching it swallow the light up eerily. The sudden increase in darkness causes him to look away from the water and up at the cloud passing over the moon. Hah, he's jumping at shadows now. It's just a really deep spring, that's all. Still, he finds himself releasing the breath he'd been holding once light and life return. He turns away from the water and toward where the beach would be, calling out in return.]

Yes?

[He heads back on the path with one last glance toward the spring before he goes.]

( When Lithuania turns around he will see nothing but darkness and hear waves gently splashing against the shore.

From the beach, he will hear his name once more.

Nothing else will happen to Lithuania. )
