Day Two

[diejoubu]

Day Two The sun begins to rise and cool morning comes. Early in the morning, there is a low mist coming from the forest but it isn't anything strange considering the environment. However, combined with how quiet it is. . . it does look kind of creepy. Fortunately, as the day goes on, it gets warmer and brighter. The mist dissipates and the birds begin to call out. The first few people to wake up might notice some things have moved around while they were asleep. The pots and pans that were left outside have been moved several feet away. Several bottles of water are missing from the cases and can be found scattered around the sand. The spring is calm and peaceful. It is quiet but not too quiet like it was last night. Status Weather: Sunny, clear, and very warm with a light breeze. Electronics: It is impossible to get any sort of reception on the beach. Any nation will a cell phone will wake up to find a message from the United Nations. Some nations might receive the same message more than once. It looks like someone tried to send the message multiple times to make sure it went through. Message: "do not make him angry again" Magic: Magic is not always effective today. For every five times you cast a spell, it might not work once. Otherwise, everything is normal. Animals: Normal on the beach. Any pets that go into the woods will stay close to their owners. Pets will become upset around the spring and staying around too long will result in the pets leaving for the beach. ???: Several bottles of water are missing from camp. They can be found scattered in the sand. The entrance to Tent Four was left open over night. The pans and pots have been moved. Day Two | Night Two Day 3 will go up 6 June

[Lithuania is up, as usual, with the sunrise. Heading out into the new sunlight, he casts an uneasy glance at the mist-covered forest before surveying the area.]

Ah, were we really this messy last night...?

[Not that unusual, honestly. Lithuania moves to put the pans back where he thought they had been.]

[proud_and_prussian]

[He's joined by a very groggy Prussia, who had gotten up for a little drink of water.]

Man, did you guys have a party or something after I went to bed? That's so not cool!!

[balzams]

[The bustle of Lithuania getting up is what finally wakes up Latvia and he crawls out of the tent a little bleary eyed]

Morning...

[motheringnation]

[She'll help.]

I didn't think so.

....maybe the people setting up their tent late?

[americanthighs]

[A still sleepy American stumbles out a couple of hours after sunrise, still in pajamas and glasses with hair pulled back into two small pigtails. She stretches with a bit of an obnoxious yawn, then rubs her eyes under her glasses.

Finally...]

Mornin', everyone...!

[baccarat]

[Monaco's been up for a while. She's dressed and having some coffee she probably bummed off of one of the other nations.]

Good morning.

[volcanoes]

[Iceland is looking over his text messages--why did he get three more?--with a bit of concern. That was his and Hong Kong's fault, right? But the place hadn't looked like anyone was living there, and they had hardly done anything. No reception now, too.

Still, can they really leave it alone? Iceland eyes the forest.]

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong is attached to his cellphone again as well, perusing the messages he received. They're all the same. He glances across the beach, in Iceland's direction. Maybe he should go tell him...

He decides on this course of action, standing and starting toward the other while still looking at his phone. The fact that there's no service again is so not cool. ]

[zhongguo]

[After the strange wake-up call around 4 in the morning, China manages maybe a half hour more of sleep before giving up and getting up for the day.

Frowning, he makes a note to scold whoever left the tent unzipped.

After morning tai chi, and by the time other nations start waking up, he can be found sitting near the campfire, making tea.]

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong's awake and apparently rarin' to go, if the way he seems to be rushing through his morning routine is anything to go by. He will veritably inhale any food and tea he's given. Thankfully, his manners have not abandoned him completely, and he does spare a greeting for China. ]

Morning— did you sleep well?

[sanskrit]

[India woke up earlier himself for some exercise, so it's good timing on his part when he sees China making tea.]

Namaste, China, are you cooking breakfast?

[sheshipsit]

[ Portugal's up surprisingly early, because she's decided she's going foraging this morning. Of course she isn't surprised when she finds China is up already when she emerges from the tent. Nor that he looks quite grumpy. ]

Bom dia, China.

[affectionatewinds]

[ Having woken up to something as vague as that, she decided to take a walk outside, hopefully it will help her think it through? Right? Right, and the spring is totally a good place to be walking around in with how frightened she is. Hey, but it's kind of calming...? ]

I can't find my pens either...

[metronomelody]

[Noticing that she took off by herself, Austria will follow.] Liechtenstein, you shouldn't wander off by yourself. You could get lost.

[Because he's one to talk about getting lost.]

[lefteros]

[Greece isn't much bothered, instead choosing to explore the land beyond the beach, still trailed by the single cat that followed him here. He doesn't think much of Liechtenstein being on her own - everyone needs their space, but a conversation can't hurt. They see each other so rarely, and he can count the times they've met without her brother on one hand.

So, he gives her a smile when he sees her. Hopefully she isn't startled.] Lichtenstáin. Are you keeping a journal?

[redwhiteandhero]

[America wakes up after the sun's already risen, but earlyish enough that the forest itself is a bit misty, even if it's receded from the edges somewhat.]

Pshoooo!! It's super creepy up there!

[vytis]

[Lithuania looks up from tending to the fire.]

Ah, good morning. The mist is starting to burn off, so I'm sure things will look more normal before too long.

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong's up at the crack of dawn somehow, and up until a certain point, he can be found near the siesta tent, fiddling with his cellphone and looking at his camera. Particularly the camera. It looks like he's examining the pictures he took yesterday pretty intently. ]

[diejoubu]

( Today, Hong Kong will notice nothing wrong with the pictures. At least, not right away. Towards the end of the photos, he will begin to notice some distortions in the pictures. It looks like the lighting was really, really bad in some of the photos.

Only one or two photos are like this. Everything else will be normal. )

[proud_and_prussian]

[Prussia is sleeping in today. He won't be up till mid-morning, but when he is up he'll head out and start looking for food. Come bother him as he searches through the rations the UN provided for the Nations?]

[americanthighs]

[Hey, breakfast sounds pretty good! She peeks around him at the pile. She brought some candy but that's not good for breakfast by itself.]

Anything good?

[seyitloud]

[ Seychelles stands over the pans and pots as she strokes her chin. ]

So that's what all that ruckus was about last night. I wonder who would have done something like this, though? Especially at an hour like that! Maybe it was somebody's idea of a joke …

[koyo]

( Don't mind Spain coming over to take one of the pans-- )

Ah, sorry. Were you going to use them?

[hascultureshock]

[Japan did not sleep well, though the only sign of it is the dark circles under his eyes.

He eyes the mess that the supplies have become and sighs. He really should have looked last night, to see who was responsible for this so that he could have them take responsibility, but there's nothing to be done for it now.

A glint in the sand catches his eye, and once he's picked it up, another one is visible a short distance further. With another sigh, he begins searching the beach, gathering the scattered bottles.

He might as well, he thinks. A walk in the slight early morning chill might be what he needs to shake off last night's strangeness.]

[gezellig]

[Someone is already on the beach and he's. . .

. . . well, smoking. So much for fresh air. At least it's not a cigarette, but his favorite pipe.]

early-ish morning, into the forest

[sheshipsit]

[ Portugal is usually a fairly late riser nowadays, but staying in a tent all morning doesn't appeal all that much. That's why she's up early, even with the mist that's still around and promptly goes to drag her brother out of bed. Obviously that was far easier said than done, but she's probably had practice at it.

Now they're headed towards the forest. The creepy forest.

She doesn't seem bothered. She hasn't seen any poisonous things in here yet. That's an improvement on the ones she's been used to in the past. ]

We're going in here. I don't know about you but I didn't pack much food.

[koyo]

( Yaaaawning so hard his eyes tear up some. Okay, he's wide awake now. )

I did! ( Wait so why are they going out to the forest??? ) But customs was a little difficult.

( Spain, you can't bring fresh produce with you like that. )

[balzams]

[Latvia's pretty worn out after all the climbing and he heads back to his tent to take a nap before dinner. As he makes his way into the campsite he notices that Prussia's tent is fairly quiet. Taking a closer look he finds it to be more or less empty. When he's sure no one is watching he quickly slips inside.

After a bit of rummaging around he comes out running back to his own tent. When Prussia returns later, two bottles of beer are missing]

[proud_and_prussian]

[Latvia will be treated to a scream of rage thirty minutes later as Prussia rages about missing two precious bottles of beer. He's so mad he's ranting in very very rude German.

Current score: Prussia 1, Latvia 5. You hit him where it hurts. He doesn't even stop to think that it's Latvia because as far as he knows, Latvia's a coward who can't do anything without Lithuania or Estonia backing him. So congrats Latvia, you one uped him this time.]
