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

If we go on our own again, they probably really will get mad. [Iceland shifts a little bit, turning toward Hong Kong slightly. If it's between waiting here for things to catch them in the night and going out and at least trying to do something--Iceland could at least try to get back at them for what happened to Mr. Puffin.]

[bauhinia]

So what if we asked someone to go with us? [ He's just trying to gauge Iceland's opinion of this idea, of course. ]

[volcanoes]

Do you think someone would? [Iceland latches onto the sense of direction desperately.] Who?

[bauhinia]

I dunno. Who would you think to ask first? [ He looks over his shoulder, back in the direction of the camp. ]

[volcanoes]

It has to be someone who would actually go. [He turns, too, after a moment. He doesn't really know most of the nations here that well, so he isn't sure who to choose.] Turkey's here, right? Maybe he would go.

[bauhinia]

Yeah, he's definitely here. [ He gives Iceland a somewhat appraising look. ] I haven't seen him all day, but I'm sure he's around somewhere. If China caught wind of this, he might wanna go. I dunno for sure.

[volcanoes]

Do you think we could convince China and Denmark--

[He pauses, abruptly.]

Maybe we should all go.

[bauhinia]

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.
