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

( 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.]

[diejoubu]

The Prime Minister isn't in right now.

( How convenient. )

Can I take a message?

[volcanoes]

[Of course, that's just his luck] Look--this is Iceland and something really weird's happening and-- [He reigns himself in from babbling; he should at least try to sound somewhat professional.] The point is there's a boat coming tomorrow to pick me up but something's gone--gone wrong so it needs to come by sooner.

[diejoubu]

( There's a pause as the secretary goes through some papers. )

Yes, a boat should be arriving tomorrow evening. I'm afraid it's too late to arrange for an earlier one, sir.

[Iceland deflates, but on the other hand that just means he's exactly where he was before he made the call. He almost considers attempting to pull rank over the phone and demand one of his own ships get sent right now, or maybe a plane, but there's nowhere to land a plane, he's sure (not one that would fit all of them, anyway) and it would take longer to get one of his boats down here from Iceland than it would take to just wait for the planned one.]

You're sure? W-well--let the Prime Minister know I called and that I'm kind of in trouble? When will she be in, anyway?

( The phone call goes very silent suddenly. )

[diejoubu]

( Breathing. )

[...Oh, he doesn't like this. Very, very uncertainly:] Hello?
