Landon nodded again. "Worrying about what again?" he asked absentmindedly. When he heard Nathan's idea of skipping school, he shook his head. "Nah. I bet if you do skip, people will worry more that you don't show up. Don't you have friends who would worry if you never arrived? Diane, maybe?" The Westerner was just guessing; he had only met the girl once, and that was when she dropped by his place for the party that had more-or-less started this brotherly mess.
California yawned and cast an idle eye to the window. It was getting gray again; dawn must be approaching. The state hoped dearly that he could actually stay awake tomorrow. There were too many things to take care of for him to dare fall asleep. "G'night, Nate; 'Lani," he told his siblings. "Thanks for coming over and hearing me out, you two. I'll see you tomorrow." With that, he rolled over, stretched, and went to sleep.

Landon awoke at the normal time, despite how long he had stayed up talking to both Leilani and Nathan. Even more strange, the Californian hardly felt sleepy. He was suddenly nervous about all the nasty surprises he must find today. It was going to be so fun clearing all that up...
Unfortunately, the best way to help all that was to tackle it head-on. Landon sighed, got ready for school, and left.

Landon returned to his dorm and flopped onto the couch. He stared blankly up at the ceiling for a moment before turning around and starting on his homework. He couldn't help but wonder if there was something else he had to do, though...
The Californian sat bolt upright as he suddenly remembered what it was that had been nagging at his mind for a while. He had promised to go visit Evan with some champagne! Shoot! He hoped he wasn't late. Landon ran into the kitchen and seized a bottle of the alcoholic drink before leaving quite hurriedly, leaving most of his homework strewn about the desk.

Landon grumbled slightly as Christian both chastised him in black-and-white letters and missed the point of his 'implicating' Rutilio, but took off to his dorm with a grin. Once he had his Desert Eagle in its holster and belted around his waist, he quickly patted Gran and ran back towards the cafe, texting a response and a couple clues as he went:
"You don't get it? ... Never mind then. I'll explain later. By the way, you didn't ever answer me yes or no about the chat.
For whatever reason, my cameras can't ever get a definitive ghost picture. Never really looked into the problem since it's much easier making them up in Hollywood. : P And I was planning on relying on my water magic, since apparently the last time I mentioned anything about a gun, I caused a riot... Either way, I got my Eagle now and I'm heading back." ~Landon

... Landon unlocked the door to his dorm and found it characteristically empty. Only now did he note that Sophie's name had been struck out and replaced with James of Delaware's, but he knew not where his New England brother had gotten off to.
It didn't matter anyway. The other state would show up someday. Right now, California was too sleepy to dwell on the matter for long. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

... Morning came far too soon for Landon. It seemed mere seconds had passed before his alarm clock rang and startled him awake. After slamming his hand on the snooze button and pausing for several moments to recover from his near-heart attack, he drowsily got to his feet and gathered his books. He had fallen asleep in his school uniform again; therefore, he only needed to freshen up and not change clothes. Once California had fixed his hair to make it look less like he had been running around all night, he jogged briskly out the door to his first class, Science.

… The Hawaiian did not follow California back to his dorm, a neglect that he understood perfectly. If he were already dressed in his costume, he would’ve beaten everyone to the party! So quite obviously, Landon lost no time in yanking out his outfit and donning it.
Landon’s costume was a milder one in that his costume actually existed in the real world. He chose to dress as a United States Marine. As the West Coast state surveyed his blue-black, red-trimmed jacket and pants, bound together by a white, gold-buckled, double-looped gun holster belt, he fancied himself the handsomest Marine ever—even if it was only pretend. Whistling merrily, Landon snagged his Desert Eagle, tipped out all the powder and bullets, hid them, and stowed the harmless gun in its holster before locking the door and running down to the dance hall to join Leilani.

Landon woke up the next day to the high noon sun. Wait a minute; was it noon already?! How had he managed to sleep in so long?! The state bolted out of bed and paused before he could lunge for his closet, mildly surprised to see that he was already dressed in his school uniform of white dress shirt, blue pants, and tie. When had he changed out of his costume? The Westerner’s muscles ached from the party, but at least he wasn’t hungover or anything—which was an unusual feat in itself, for Landon usually drank a lot when he was partying. Man, what a vivid dream he’d had. He’d been rescuing dames from dragons and genies from vampires and werewolves when day arrived. The lights had been all purplish-black, and even the music had seemed eerie… Idly, he wondered if any of those effects could be recreated on film.
His dorm was empty again, as usual—both Croatia and Arkansas were gone and quickly fading from his memory—so he idly checked his watch, lolling about on the floor. His eyes widened. It really was noon! Three whole periods had passed without him! Embarrassed and angry at himself, he bumbled around the room, looking for his backpack (which had somehow ended up in his laundry hamper) and ran out of the room, hoping to find someone to talk to during lunch.

Landon woke up inexplicably late the next morning. Blinking blearily out at the sunny sky beyond, he sighed and rolled over to check out his alarm clock. He had missed all of first period—where had the time gone?! Maybe if he hurried, he could make it to second period in time to get that story out of Kartlos. He had forgotten to get the other nations’ numbers! And besides, the bespectacled nation owed him a tale—at least, from Landon’s point of view. The Westerner hastily dressed in his usual business casual uniform, and his eye happened to fall on his phone. He hadn’t contacted Maria in a while—and after embellishing her so in his tale! Impulsively, he decided to shoot her a text before bolting out of the room to class.
“Hola, Maria! You should be proud of me—I just made you a hero in my story last night to these other nations I met! You perfect warrior sister, you. jkjk wink But that aside, how are you, and what did I miss in first period—and maybe even second? Tell me everything! 8D” ~Landon

Landon halted in the hall when he felt his phone vibrate in reply and unlocked the little device. Maria had texted him back with a proposition more suited to him than her. Why did she want to skip out now? Curiosity piqued, Landon sent another reply and, turning around, headed down a different flight of stairs.
"Tsk, tsk, cutting class now? That's my job. wink Where to?" ~Landon

“Latte? I’m more iced cappuccino myself. And sure—but don’t cry when I beat you!” ~Landon
Landon grinned and sent back a slap-worthy reply before running out to the café as directed—not that he could recall being the one who had set that Tekken record, but it was all a matter of interpretation. There were other games at the arcade California just couldn’t say no to.
