Night Three

[diejoubu]

Night Three The full moon hangs in the sky again. Everything is eerily calm and quiet at night.  Night three starts off surprisingly normal. Prussia and Greece wil be able to find their cameras in the sand near camp. Status Weather: Cool with clouds coming in. Electronics: No signals. The emergency radio is unable to catch anything. Music players will play static. Camera problems continue. Flashlights turn on and off on their own. Magic: Barely effective. For every seven spells cast, one will work. Animals: If you still have your pet, they will refuse to leave camp. Mr. Puffin still has not returned. ???: ??? Day 3 | Night 3 Day 4 will go up on June 8

Safety in numbers, right? [ He shrugs a little. ]

[volcanoes]

Horror movie rules. If we go by ourselves we're probably asking to get eaten. And they did say to go there if there's an emergency... Though I don't know if that would help anything.

But at least we'd all be working together like they wanted. [Iceland is obviously slowly working his way back to normal.]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, I mean, that's the best we can do, right? [ Hong Kong starts writing something in the sand in Chinese. ] Sitting around here and doing nothing's not really an option.

[volcanoes]

I don't want to just--wait to get eaten. [He watches Hong Kong write, but of course he doesn't know what it says.] We can try to convince everyone to go to the mansion tomorrow morning. At least as many people as we can.

[bauhinia]

Yeah, in the morning when it's light out and you've gotten some sleep. [ He's a little heavy-handed on the second part, but it's probably warranted at this point. ]

[volcanoes]

Right. [He is, actually, starting to feel the exhaustion again. It feels like he's been out in the cold and is only now starting to warm up enough to realize just how cold he'd been.]

What're you writing?

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong nods. Okay, that's promising. Maybe Iceland will be able to get some rest. ]

This? Nothing, I'm just going over what happened in my head.

[volcanoes]

A lot of impossible things. [Helpful summary? He yawns.]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, that's this part. [ He circles several characters. ] Want me to walk back with you?

[volcanoes]

[Iceland makes a noise that might actually be an exhausted sort of laugh.] Do you think they'll listen to us?

[bauhinia]

I have no idea. We'll have to think of a way to convince them if they don't.

[ He'd like to be encouraged by that laugh, somehow. ] How's your arm?

[volcanoes]

...Hurts. But I think it's getting better. ...I guess we can use it to convince people something's really happening. [He wobbles once and unless Hong Kong moves he's going to end up leaning against the other nation (or Special Administrative Region, whatever).]

[bauhinia]

Hey, it's okay. Careful, yeah? [ He'll steady Iceland here, because he doesn't mind being leaned on. ] Have you eaten anything all day? [ He doesn't comment on using Iceland's injury to convince everyone. If they don't believe, it's probably because they don't want to and they're not likely to help out either way. ]

[volcanoes]

[Iceland is just going to stay there, then. Hong Kong is good for leaning on, at least right now.] I had some licorice. [Possibly just out of habit.]

[bauhinia]

[ Fine by him. He will do his best to be a great spot to lean. ] That doesn't even count. Listen, you need something to eat and you need some sleep, seriously.

[volcanoes]

Licorice always counts. [It's not clear if he's joking or not. He sounds like he's on the edges of beginning to fall asleep already.] I didn't think I'd be able to eat anything else.

[bauhinia]

I don't think you can survive on licorice. [ It's just a hunch though. ]

[volcanoes]

Don't underestimate me. [Probably not, but he could survive on fish and licorice.] Everyone already had dinner, I think.

[bauhinia]

Hey, that's the last thing I'm gonna do. [ He has new respect for Iceland, not that he didn't have any before. ]

There are some leftovers from our meal. I could get you something if you wanted.

[volcanoes]

Y'don't have to. [Iceland sits up, at length.] ...You didn't have to help me out back then, you know. A lot of people would have run. [He is, in his own way, trying to say he's grateful Hong Kong didn't leave him alone with that ghost.]

[bauhinia]

I wasn't going to just leave you, Iceland. [ To go by his tone, it sounds like he thinks that would've been pretty awful. He looks over at the other. ] And the food's totally no big deal.

[volcanoes]

...I can at least help you with the food. [He's so bad at emoting properly in situations like this. On the other hand, he's back to a more normal emotional state!]

[bauhinia]

If you wanna. But I really don't mind, promise. You're like, exhausted, I know you are. [ He's giving Iceland a look, like he's not sure if he's going to collapse any second now. ]

[volcanoes]

I can stay up long enough to eat. [Iceland stands up, though his body kind of aches from sitting so still for so long.] See, I'm okay.

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong quickly follows suit, nodding. ] Okay, sure. As long as you're okay. [ Not that he's worrying or anything. Nope. He's cool. ]
