Day Four

[diejoubu]

Day Four Early in the morning, the people in tent two will wake up when their tent begins to shake violently. It will ultimately collapse on them. When they wake up, they will find no one outside. Instead, they will see heavy clouds on the horizon. Also, it looks like someone has gone through the Nations' things. Various belongings have been thrown around camp-- clothes, towels, batteries, toilet paper, food, etc. More food items have been eaten. It is much cooler than it was yesterday and a strong, cool breeze blows. The waves are bigger and it would be dangerous to go out too far. Most nations should be able to tell a storm is coming. Electronic devices do not work. The only way to find out what the weather forecast will be is to use the emergency radio or your own instincts. As the day goes on, the wind will become stronger. Tents might start to come undone and blow in the wind. The weather is getting increasingly worse and they will have to find better shelter. The forest and spring appear normal. Status Weather: Cool, windy, very cloudy. It will rain on and off all day. A storm is coming. Electronics: Music players will play static. The emergency radio is able to pick up weather reports. Cameras: The lighting effects from the previous day are much more visible. Now, you will be able to make out shapes in the photos. They will be able to see different types of faces, hands, and the lower part of a body, etc. In the photos, you will also notice that the figures are getting closer to the people in them. The figures come closer with every photo you take. Be careful of who you take pictures of. Cell phones: Everyone will be able to get a signal at some point during the day for a brief amount of time! However, calls don't seem to go through for some reason. Animals: All pets will disappear. Magic: Ineffective. Nothing will work. ???: Various belongings find themselves randomly thrown around outside. Romania's books are missing. He will find black feathers where his books used to be. Day Four | Night Four Day 5 will go up 10 June

[ Hong Kong isn't super fond of this weather. Nonetheless, he's up early and sitting outside. In what's becoming a typical routine in the morning, he's currently going over the photos he's taken since arriving. This is just peachy, isn't it? ]

[volcanoes]

[Iceland is kind of relieved to have a breeze, even if the weather in general bodes very badly for them as far as he can tell. He sits down next to Hong Kong once he's up and had some vague attempt at breakfast.]

Anything interesting?

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong raises his head, waving at Iceland. ]

Hey. Actually, yeah. Take a look.

[ He hands the camera over to Iceland, having left the display on a particularly strange looking picture he took near the mansion. ]

[volcanoes]

[Iceland frowns at the picture. He definitely didn't see anything like that while they were there.]

It looks like something's there.

[gesta_danorum]

[Denmark's feeling edgy. He's been alternatively staring out at the ocean and casting distrustful looks at the forest. His pack is all rolled up tightly, since he wasn't too keen on the idea of sand blowing into all of his stuff. It also makes him ready to leave right away, should it come to that. He's actually hoping it will come to that, he's done with this. He's got prettier beaches at home he'd rather lounge on and great beautiful open spaces.

He also keeps seeking out Iceland, making sure he knows were he is.]

[volcanoes]

[Iceland has improved from yesterday in that he is moving around and not just sitting and staring at the ocean like a zombie. Though it would be hard to tell for someone who didn't know him well, Iceland is still quite unhappy and it's expressing itself in a subtle increase in sluggishness and lack of appetite.

He spent his time after breakfast gathering up his scattered items and looking unhappily at his now empty bag of licorice, and now he's packing everything that's left away. He doesn't really stray too far from Denmark, except to talk to Hong Kong.]

There's going to be a storm.

Tent 3

[balzams]

[Latvia is huddled up in his sleeping bag in the tent. After everything that's been happening he's been getting more and more on edge. There's a growing unease amongst the group and he can feel it too. Going anywhere on his own just feels too scary today, with the weather getting increasingly worse he can easily tell that he would get himself into an accident]

[motheringnation]

[Sticks her head in the tent.]

Latvia? Oh there you are. I'm trying to find everyone from our tent. I think we should make plans for moving away from the beach with the storm coming.

[balzams]

[He looks up from the small cocoon he's made for himself]

We're not going to the mansion, are we?

[motheringnation]

[Ukraine is looking for anyone from her tent. Clearly they're going to have to move inland soon. If you're not from her tent she'll ask if you've seen anyone from Eastern Europe around.]

[vytis]

[Lithuania's been gone all night. But he's back! He looks like he's been wandering around all night, and he's clearly still at least a little shaken, but at least he's here.]

[motheringnation]

Lithuania, where were you?

[lefteros]

I haven't. Sorry. ...Have you seen the cat?

[motheringnation]

No. I'm sorry.

[likesottlyfab]

[Poland's in the tent changing out of his soaking wet clothes, while trying to avoid dripping on everything in the process of drying his hair. He's a combination of tired and sick looking, after spending the whole night missing.]

[motheringnation]

Poland? What happened?

all around camp

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong is starting to approach people with a proposal that they go into the forest and investigate the mansion there. If people don't seem too keen on that, he might point out that the mansion could provide shelter from the storm. He's going to try and hit as many people as possible, so if you want to talk to him about this, you won't find it difficult to do so.

He may also regroup with Iceland if possible. ]

Re: all around camp

[gezellig]

[Holland, mistrustful nation that he is, has packed a good deal of his belongings back into his duffels and moved them into his already small tent, deciding to wait out the coming storm inside, staying dry until they could get off this incredibly lame and untidy island.

. . . a bit begrudgingly, he'll let the younger nation in, but not after setting down his towel so the other didn't get his tent sandy or anything.]

I thought they wanted to be left alone, didn't they?

[bauhinia]

"They" aren't leaving us alone, so I think we oughta repay the favor.

[ He bows his head politely when invited inside. He's capable of being polite (and of avoiding tracking sand into Holland's tent, promise!) and besides, he wouldn't want to do anything to upset the larger nation anyway. ]

[asure]

[ For those of you keeping track, Turkey and Poland have not been seen since they've left sometime in the afternoon yesterday. Ordinarily, the situation would be scandalous and be the source of much gossip. Now? With all that has happened on the island, the fact that they have not been seen is worrisome. But worry no longer! Out of the forrest, in the direction of the spring, comes our pair of intrepid explorers.

Turkey himself doesn't look that good. He looks very shaken up, which is quite easy to see since his trademark mask is nowhere to be seen. His jacket is soaking wet, but he is still wearing it in spite of how wet it is. And the blood that covers it pretty much everywhere. He has a hand to his neck, constantly moving it, as if making sure that his head is still attached. If you're paying close enough attention, you may see a red scratch that goes around his neck. ]

[likesottlyfab]

[Compared to Turkey, Poland only looks moderately better by comparison. He's completely soaked from head to toe and looks as if he caught something of a cold over night. He has no blood stains or wounds of any kind, but he doesn't seem very much like his usually bubbly cheerful self at all.]

... Sorry.

[He's probably said it at least a hundred times by now, but every time Turkey moves to rub his neck Poland feels compelled to repeat it.]

[asure]

Oi, quit sayin' that.

[ He didn't really blame Poland at all for what happened. The first couple "sorrys" were fine, but now it was starting to get annoying. ]

[volcanoes]

[Iceland, obsessively checking his phone and trying to will it to work, blinks at the signal he's suddenly gotten as if it might vanish. Then, realizing it really might vanish, he speed dials his boss.]

Pick up, pick up...

[diejoubu]

( The phone will continue to ring and ring. It doesn't sound like anyone is going to answer.

Finally, someone picks up. It is not Iceland's boss. Could it be a secretary? )

Hello?

[volcanoes]

Uh-- [Iceland is honestly kind of surprised someone actually answered. Not his boss, but still someone! He perks up.] I need to speak to the Prime Minister. It's kind of an emergency? [Hopefully she's there. He is really, really hoping she's there.]
