rizaia | Day Two

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.

[He hates to admit it but Lithuania's right]

I guess not...

They could at least say hello or something though.

Or let us use their bathroom.

We might still see them. This is only the second day.

I suppose so...

You promise they'll be friendly though?

I'm sure they'll be polite.

[Not exactly promising friendliness, but he can't promise that.]

If you say so...

At least the view from up here is good but...

Aah, it's way too hot up here!

[Taking off his rucksack he pulls his shirt off. He isn't impressed at all with the lack of shade]

Did you bring sunscreen? [Fussing is just force of habit, really.] We could climb back down, if you want.

It's fine, it's fine.

[No, he didn't]

I still need to get a picture anyway.

[Taking his phone out he starts to mess around with it. He forgot to bring a camera so this'll have to do]

Don't blame me if you get a sunburn.

[Ducking out of the way of Latvia's view.]

I told you, I'll be fine.

[He furrows his brow a little as he focuses on the screen]

Hey, can you help me with this? How do I get it to not be so... blue?

[Unlike his northern neighbor, Latvia isn't exactly the most adept when it comes to technology]

[Honestly Lithuania isn't the best with technology, either. He peers at the phone over Latvia's head.]

Did you try changing the lighting settings?

No? What's that?

Right there, I think? [He points to one of the settings in the options menu.]

So that's what it does...

[After a bit of clicking around he seems to have corrected the problem but he struggles a bit with the very small buttons]

Okay, that should-

[Just as he's about to save the picture he loses his grip on the phone. It bounces off the cliff edge and tumbles down the rock face, breaking apart as it falls]

-Fuck!

Ah! [Lithuania winces as he watches the phone drop. At least it wasn't Latvia going with it.] ...I don't think there's any way we can fix that here.

[Latvia watches over it forlornly from the edge]

He's going to be really angry if he finds out I broke it...

Maybe if you get a new one as soon as you get back, no one will notice? Our phones don't work here half the time, anyway.

That... that sounds good.

If he asks about the pictures I'll just tell him he shouldn't have confiscated my alcohol.

[Lithuania laughs a bit and pulls out his own cell phone.]

Here, I can take a picture for you if you want.

[He sighs, defeated]

Okay...

When I get a new phone you'll send it to me, right?

[Lithuania snaps the picture, and then a second one just in case.]

As soon as you get a new one.

Thanks.

I'm sorry for being so clumsy...

Don't worry about it. Accidents happen. [Especially to Latvia.]

[He gets back off the ground away from the edge, lest he fall down too. Stretching he looks back over the ocean]

We really are such a long way from anywhere, aren't we?

[It doesn't help his coverup theories]

But it is pretty... what kind of picture did you take? Can I see?

We'd have fought over the location if it was going to be at one of our houses.

[He shows the photos to Latvia, but keeps the phone in his hands because, well, Latvia's just went over the side and he'd like to keep his own for a few more years.]

[He smiles in approval]

It looks good.

But I guess you're right about the fighting... wait, so this island isn't a part of any nation?

Isn't that just... weird?
