Under the Sea: Mission start

After fleeing the strange shapes in the sky the voidtreckers are perhaps not looking forward to yet another mission and indeed the first few days of Fiddlesticks go by without any strange dreams, no warning that another mission might be nigh. Yet on the morning of day five their SCA's will glow with the colours of the void and a holographic message will appear.

Preperations

The dressing room is open once again, though the clothes this time are simple in choice. A wet suit for each void trecker as well as a pair of flippers, a helmet and a breathing pack. It at least has instructions and there will be a little bit of time for them to figure out how to use them. Apart from that there are some waterproof packs for supplies to be packed in.

They will have a couple of hours to get ready for their mission.

Arrival: Blue and Red

"We are now approaching world #7625000129523. Drop order is Red and Blue, Purple then Orange. Red and Blue team to doors. Arrival in world #7625000129523 in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."

The train shudders and lurches as they exit the void, the view from the window goes from the ever shifting void to a beautiful deep blue sky. They fly through the air and swoop down to land on a sandy beach. The doors open allowing those who are taking part in the Blue and Red missions to debark. The doors close and the train swoops up into the air.

The beach stretches from one side to the other, in the distance as the beach turns into sloping green hills they can see a village. Beyond that there is a jungle. Any red team who check their SCA will see four points, the rock pools.

The villagers have noticed the huge train sweeping down onto their island and so contact is made quickly. They will be quite accepting of the help and explain the situation. They will help any of red team to the rockpools if asked.

Red

The rockpools are built up and indeed made so the water will reach a persons waist if they stand in them. The water is cold but not overly so. When the water shoots up anyone in them will shoot up also.

They will find themselves in a vortex of water, with anyone else who enters that rockpool. The water itself seems to be fighting them, tendrils of water reaching out of the whirlpool to try and drag them further into the chaos. It takes a whole lot of willpower to stay in the centre, the water can be fought with weapons, even with fists. They feel as if they are falling or flying, perhaps both. Surrounded by the pure chaos of the ocean.

Blue

Hopefully they spend the day helping with preparations because when night falls the monsters emerge from the sea. Terrifying twisted creatures. The villagers only have simple weapons but will tell them that fire is helpful against these water creatures.

Hold off the monsters and keep the people safe.

Purple

The doors close and the train flies off into the sky, flying over the island to the other side where it lands on a rocky bay, near tall towering cliffs.

"Purple team to doors." The doors open, allowing the purple team to disembark before flying off once again.

In the cliff face there is a large cave entrance, over the entrance there are symbols, translated by their SCA's. Clear mind, clear heart. Come those who seek to serve.

There are six people stood by the entrance, looking quite surprised at the new arrivals. One, a woman with silver hair recovers enough to speak first. "Ah. Void warriors. We are honoured by your help."

Once introductions are made the spiritual leaders will happily accept the escort and their adventure can begin.

Orange

They fly up and out across the ocean, a longer flight than before but eventually they descend and there is a slight juddering before they land, floating on the ocean.

"Orange team disembark, please use luggage or dressing carriage doors only."

They will step out onto an inflated platform that streches around the train. Down below are the depths of the water and their SCA's show them at the point of Bui. It is below them so all they need to is dive.

The dive takes a while, and depends on their swimming ability but hopefully with a bit of teamwork they arrive at the silent city of Bui.

"Joss got a weapon." He nodded, "And I can fight with a stick! I trained with a spear, I got my borderlines too and I can throw them at people!"

He grins at the man's words though, he is glad that the man has faith in them. So many grown ups didn't.

"Unless you've got a thermos, then I'd think you should pack easy to eat on the move stuff." Duo agreed with a grin. Trust Najaran to be thinking about food at a time like this. Though he had to admit, he did plan on checking out the settlements when he had the chance to pick up food items for himself. He didn't know when they would return back to the train.
najaran: (Hm?)

[personal profile] najaran 2020-05-10 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do they have those in the kitchen? I should go look..."

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2020-05-10 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Duo thought about it but had to shake his head. "No idea... Could be you might be able to get one from the store before we head off?" They were small enough items he thought she could probably get one if she really needed.
najaran: (... In The Aftermath)

[personal profile] najaran 2020-05-10 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"A store.... wherever we're going?"
maxwellsdaemon: (Whys my hand so big)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2020-05-10 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"The train store... y'know?" Duo waved vaguely behind him toward the dressing room door and somewhere beyond that the consoles that allowed them to access the train store and the items within.
najaran: (Oh!)

[personal profile] najaran 2020-05-10 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
She followed him. "We have a store?" she asked, startled.

Ple Two really needed help. She'd noticed the impact on her senses when they arrived, but hadn't realized just how fully she relied on those extra senses to not die; now she was scrambling to catch up.

And very, very lucky to have teammates. Ple Two forced herself to her feet as quickly as she could, eyes locked onto the nonspecific sea beast, brandishing her sword. Once she had herself focused on a single opponent, it was much easier to keep up.

"Just need an... opening."
maxwellsdaemon: (Happy smiles)

"You've really not noticed these?" Duo grinned and lead her toward one of the screens set near the entrance to the sleeper carriages. His ticket was safely stored in the waterpoof pack which he hunted through to pull out and he slotted it into the machine.

Following the directions on the screen he chose from the merch and picked the travel mug.

"I figure that's as close as we're gonna get..." Duo confirmed the order and took his ticket back when it popped out and reached for the mug once it appeared. He turned and handed it over to Najaran with a wide grin. "Here ya go. Should keep hot liquids hot and cold ones cold!"

Hey. Hey you. Protect Madoka more than her.

But she can't say that; and Madoka would want to protect her. And in the grand scheme of things, killing all of these monsters will make it safer for everyone. So, she can't object to Maru saving her.

Fortunately she was covered or she might have some nasty scrapes from hitting the sand, and she pushes herself up with only a slight wince. "I'm... I'm fine. I can..." she trails off, looking at Madoka. That confidence is... certainly new. All it took was a new pet, huh?

"What, did you want a tiny little bikini?" That's the image she has of Minako, at least. "Weapons would be appreciated, but there are those who can provide some basics here."

She turns to her, suspicious, in case Lightning is about to try and stop her. But Lightning is one of her favourite people for a reason and it is that she never tries to tell her not to do her job.

And checking equipment is sensible, especially since the priestess had a lot more knowledge of technology than she did.

"Yes, Lightning."

Madoka may just have noticed Fëanor struggling with the equipment, although he seems to finally have achieved victory over it. The latter part of that is no surprise to her, really. Fëanor has always seemed so amazing and smart, of course he'd know how to put these things together!

But if even he's struggling with it, then Madoka really is starting to feel unsure about her own ability to put this together. She frets and hesitates, as she usually does when she's unsure about asking for help, but then does end up meekly approaching the other.

".. um, mister Fëanor.. Could you please help me with mine too..? If it's not too much to ask..."

Don't put him through this again, Madoka.

"Hopefully they are unhurt," Nita replied, now even more worried. Given how she was currently cut off from speaking to the peridexis, were the Cards in a similar state?

"We'll take them out when we get to medical," she decided.

"This way, walk with me, okay? One step, two step..."

"Oh wow! When we get back, you're going to have to teach me how to use this thing... Gremlin's been trying to teach me to use the talking one... or is this the same thing?"
najaran: (Tea daze)

"They be'er be.." she mumbled, trying to walk with her, flippers making a funny noise as they started to dry.

"They do be making us be looking very stupid." She wrinkled her nose, "But half the worlds do no be wearing normal clothes at all."

Even the worlds were the clothes were recognisable were different than what she knew. But that was better than flight suits and wet suits.

Whatever power he normally has isn't working. He's not much for keeping himself unhurt, apparently, without it. Ergo, he needs to stay safe, and let Whisper handle this nasty customer herself.

In a wide open space, it'd be easy to outmaneuver the crab and take potshots at it, but here she's gotta be a bit more thoughtful - or a lot smashier. When it lunges, she winds up and bashes the pincer away, leaving more cracks, before using the opening and her momentum to wind up for an even bigger swing right in its big crabby face.

Elves are good for chatting with. Good, upside. "I'll keep it in mind." She could move more quickly than a lot of people who lacked super speed, at least, even if Sonic would just be - well, no, he'd be avoiding the water, wouldn't he?

Score one for Whisper. "Or... light. You're a flashlight."

Nita sprayed some water up, teasingly.

/It's a shapechange! Something I learned pretty early on in my time as a wizard. It's still me in here and everything./

If with a new 'set' of senses, compared to a human's.

"All part of the same thing, I think." Duo laughed and put his ticket back safely into the waterproof pack. "I'll show you though. After the mission." Once they had time enough for Duo to explain and show her things. He still needed to get those bears, he could show her when he went to get those.

They were going to have to clean up any mess they made while walking, weren't they?

Nita put that out of her mind for now, focusing solely on getting Najaran to medical and checking her in.

She might not need the entire day for this, but Najaran likely did need to sleep this off, after a checkup, and having her run back out only to get nearly drowned again wasn't going to be happening on Nita's watch.

Taiki had an armful of firewood, which spilled everywhere as he fell to the floor at the collision. He sat up, looking around and seeing Minako.

"Are you alright?"

His eyes were concerned. "Are you hurt at all? I'm sorry I didn't see you." He had picked himself up and moved to her side, to see if she needed help.

There was a crack as the hammer split the crabs face and it flew backwards, into the rocky tunnel where it lay still.

Romeo let out a breath. "Thank you miss! You saved me!"

Now that night had fallen he was able to shrug off the cat and take on a more useful shape.

And yet he found himself crouched beside the crackling bonfire to keep warm. The air was much colder now that the sun was down. And there was something odd in the air...

He waited for Madoka. But watched the people around him with a curious gaze.
