Hey, so, just letting my followers and rp partners know: I've tried to find some free time to spend here, but I've found I really am too busy to keep up an account on this forum, so I'm sorry to say this is goodbye. Thank you to all the wonderful people who've roleplayed with me, and I've...

"What is it?" At Gilbert's shout, Arthur rushed over, glancing around for any signs of danger. But when he saw what the other nation was pointing at, his eyes widened in surprise. If Whitney was watching them, it meant that he'd know about everything they'd said and done, know that...

"But isn't it safer in the caves? And what if he wakes up? Or - or what if he doesn't?" Feliciano's ramblings continued as he moved closer to the cave, ducking under the overhang to sit beside Romeo. "Lui è mio fratello... I can't just leave him."
His gaze lingered for a moment...

Arthur's eyes narrowed slightly; he never liked being told he was wrong. But he drew in a breath, reminding himself that now was possibly the worst time to start squabbling. He thought back to their encounters with Whitney, in particular, the one on the beach. There had been five...
(I hope I'm not being rude, but aren't they sort of on an island in the middle of nowhere? The business of kidnapping would be a bit slow most of the time, I'd imagine. Also, considering the others aren't runnng to Al's rescue at the moment, isn't this tale getting just a tad grim?)
England
Before long, they had enough extra kindling for a second fire and a few long branches as well. Arthur managed to get a spark after a moment of striking a pair of small rocks together, setting the kindling aflame. He picked up one of the branches, holding it in the fire for a moment...

"Yes, very helpful, Gilbert," he muttered, hardly as enthusiastic as the other nation. He really wasn't liking their chances against Whitney; even though it was one against several of them, he probably knew every inch of the island, not to mention his shotgun, which would let him...

Arthur had walked over to join the two, and as he came close, caught the last of Gilbert's remark. "You're right; we haven't got many options." He was on the verge of suggesting they take their chances and go after Whitney now since he had one of them, but he knew that that wouldn't...

"Over there." Feliciano pointed to the trail Whitney and Alfred had left, now less visible as darkness began to fall. "But if he got past six of you the last time, won't that happen again if you follow him?" He genuinely wanted to do something to help Alfred, but he also didn't like...

When Felciano caught sight of Prussia on the other side of camp, he hurried over, relieved. While he'd known Arthur and Maria for a while, and Ellen had become a friend on the island, he'd spent much more time with Gilbert, so after what had just happened, seeing him safe was...
Italy
"He was here!" Feliciano began speaking quickly, hardly pausing for breath. "Whitney. He filled the cave with smoke and took Alfred - that way, see the trail? - and I didn't think I should go after him alone, but you've got to hurry! He's ben gone for almost an hour now." After...

When out of nowhere, a smoking branch landed with a thud on the cave floor, Feliciano jerked back in surprise, quickly leaping to his feet.
"Huh?"
But then, as the smoke started to fill the smal space, he lept into action, quickly pullling Romeo out inot the open while trying...

As the fire flared up, Arthur gestured for Kiku, Natalie, and Gilbert to follow him as he stepped out of the firelight and into the shadows of the jungle Whitney could be half a mile across the island and he'd still smell the smoke, and if he was nearer, the flicker of light and...
Arthur gave the other nation a small smile. "Thanks, Gilbert. We both will."
"Good idea," he agreed, no longer whisperinng. "If Maria and Ellen stay by the fire, Whitney'll think they're the only ones around. Then as soon as he confronts them, we can all work to capture him."
As he...
Arthur hesitated, deliberatng. He trusted hismelf more than ofhters, and the same went for keeping his sister safe; he was wary about giving the task to somebody else. And what if something went wrong and he could have stopped it, but wasn't there? But the group needed desperately to capture...
"Because," Arthur pointed out, growing exaasperated, "Whitney's entire tactic so far has been singling us out and going after us when we're away from the others! If we plan this properly and keep in at least small groups, we stand a good chance at capturing him. But if you go alone and even...
"No, absolutely not - it's too risky." Arthur had only just met his sister, or, rather, remembered having met her, but the thought of losing part of his family was unthinkable, even Scotland or the Irelands. But, really, it was like with the former colonies - Mathew, Alfred, Jett (1), all of...
Arthur nodded. "Yes, that should work. We should stay relatively close together so we can regroup, though," he suggested. "The last thing we want is to be attacked in smaller numbers."
England
"Sound enough logic," Arthur agreed. Being shipwrecked and marooned on an island likely had already put the bird on edge just like the rest of them, and it made sense that he'd try to hide from a complete stranger in such a stressful situation.
The Brit started off in the...
