welcome to mayfield: day 3

[mayfield_mods]

[Those who wake up in the town on the third day will soon notice that something's definitely off. The cracks in the sky are appearing more frequently and lasting for minutes at a time, and there's a strange white fog drifting over the clouds.

For those who've just arrived, welcome to our new little town! We're sure you're glad to see your missing friends again; nothing to worry about here, they've just been too busy enjoying the upgraded carnival to go back home. Any bleeding limbs or serious wounds you may spot are obviously just a sign of how much fun they've been having.]

OOC: If your character damages or affects the carnival or town in a noticeable and normally permanent way, please comment here.

Latvia! [Lithuania waves at the younger nation as he and Poland pass the food cart.] What are you doing? You know that food isn't real.

[likesottlyfab]

[Hungary told him about this last night.] Are you seriously eating off the ground? Things aren't that bad yet.

[balzams]

I'm not!

[Latvia quickly snatches his hand back, about to pick up one of the packets from the ground]

I-I know it's not real, but it's not like it's dangerous either. Can't I just pretend...?

[vytis]

You don't know it's not dangerous. [Lithuania always worries.] I mean, someone knocked the stand over...

[likesottlyfab]

When was the last time you guys ate anyway? [It's probably not a good idea to give Latvia anything out of his bag here if everyone in this place was as hungry as he was. Getting mugged over some apples and paluskzi would suck.]

[balzams]

I just had the riceball Koharu gave me last night...

But before that I'd only had the pierogi she gave me.

[vytis]

Eating that won't make you any less hungry.

[Latvia's had more than Lithuania, actually, but Lithuania's been trying deliberately to go without if he can--Koharu certainly needs her food more than he does.]

[likesottlyfab]

You're short, you shouldn't need a ton of food. Just stop focusing on it so much and conserve your energy.

[He's not going to tell Latvia this, but he'll give him something to eat later. He'd just had a rice ball after all.]

[balzams]

It doesn't mean I can go without eating for too long!

Especially now...

And how exactly am I suppose to conserve my energy?

[Most of it's gone into shaking and pacing]

[vytis]

Stand still, to start. [Lithuania's tone is mildly exasperated, but it's out of concern.]

I know Koharu has food. I'll give you my share of it, alright?

[likesottlyfab]

Human beings can go like, a whole week with out dying from lack of food. You totally need to chill out.

[balzams]

[Latvia stands still and frowns at the floor, rolling the handle of the shovel in his hands]

I-if that's okay...

But what if we're trapped here forever? Then what? I don't want to starve to death!

[vytis]

It's fine, I have my normal body back. And we'll get out before anyone starves, don't worry.

[Lithuania always says that when there are things to actually worry about. But he is still trying to be optimistic. Sort of.]

There has to be a way out. Remember that radio message? The man talking mentioned the carnival.

[likesottlyfab]

[The corner of Poland's mouth twitches slightly at Lithuania's mention that he has his body back. It's like he's rubbing it in or something.

But he'll swat that thought away. Now isn't the time to think about that stuff.]

Yeah. So. We're at the carnival, let's do something while we still have energy as opposed to wasting time playing with fake food.

[balzams]

Like what?

Do you want me to use energy or save it?

[But he does have a point. He'd rather distract himself with something else than torture himself with illusions]

[vytis]

Well, Poland apparently wants to burn the whole place down.

[Lithuania is still not convinced this is a good idea.]

[likesottlyfab]

[You know considering he's going to feed you later, you've got a smart mouth Latvia.]

I suggested maybe burning it down. I don't really care at this point, I just want to break something already.

[balzams]

...

If you guys are smashing stuff I want in. I'm sick of the place.

[No food and a near constant worrying have just left him grumpy and fed up. If he's going to starve he might as well give them what's coming to them]

[vytis]

W-we can't just start smashing things indiscriminately! [Only orderly destruction is allowed okay. ...Somewhat more sheepishly:] T-though I suppose if you're going to insist we could start with the house Estija and I searched yesterday.

[If by searched you mean tore up.]

[likesottlyfab]

If you searched it yesterday shouldn't we do a different place though?

[balzams]

As long as there's something to smash up I don't care. I just want to take a good whack at something.

[His grip on the shovel seems... awfully possessive]

[vytis]

[...Oh dear.]

...W-what do you suggest, then? The tunnel of love?

[likesottlyfab]

Okay. [There's plenty of water there if we do burn it at least.]

[balzams]

Sounds good to me!

[As well as venting his anger about Mayfield he'll also get to vent his anger about his lack of a romantic relationship. How's that for efficiency?]

[vytis]

I'm not putting either of you out if you catch yourselves on fire.
