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.

"Eh, it's not your fault." Duo laughed. "If I'd really wanted to get at you, I'd have found a way. I like to meet people naturally though, y'know? Makes more sense that way." Or at least make them think it was naturally. Sometimes nature did need a bit of a hand, after all.

"Well I'm going red this time so..." He put his hands on his hips, his grin wide. "I'm planning on kicking the ass of whatever nasties live in those rock pools!" And yes, he could swim. He was a damn dolphin in the water.

The rocking helped. He relaxed in Gladio's arms, even as he still cried. "I promised Iggy I would help on the ground... He's gonna be mad, isn't he?"

Prompto sighed and came over to take a seat next to the new guy. "You know, you should've brought extra clothes. I don't think our team actually needed the wet suits."

He looked at the barricade and nodded. It really wasn't too bad for such a short time, was it?

"It's a visual for the people to gain some confidence in us and it'll be helpful for anyone who has a gun, like me. We're going to start the fight on the beach but.. if we have to fall back, I have a few options." He sighed. "It's not much, but it was the best we could come up with given the time constraints and material." He looked at the other boy. "Why haven't I seen you all day?"

"No, he's not going to be mad..." And if, for some reason Ignis did get mad... He'd have an even more mad Gladio to contend with. But he knew that wouldn't be a possibility. Ignis could never be angry with Noct. And if he knew why his King wasn't on the ground with the rest of them, if he had any inkling as to why, he was sure Ignis would have made Noct stay behind.

"He'd want you safe, love. He'd want you away from danger." He spoke softly, still stroking his hand over Nocts hair. "He'd want you here."

[personal profile] sonoflucis 2020-05-11 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Noct took a shaky breath, Gladio's words ringing true. Ignis had said he would keep Noct safe. If he had seen how Noct had reacted, he probably would have told him to stay behind.

"And no one will be mad that you're here, right?"

Prompto's frown deepened and he thought back to when he'd found Gladio. "D- did he mention that I'd teased him too much? I hadn't meant to. He was so upset, I just.." He was doing then what he was doing now, which meant he was messing both of these up, wasn't it?

"Sorry."

"I'm Whisper." And I whisper, she doesn't add, because it's hopefully unnecessary. She just nods. Ifrit seems... like the sort to keep a conversation going herself right now anyways.

Literal firepower, she gets it, and nods again. Her wispon is useful, but she's sure Ifrit can... dry them out. "Well I don't smoke." If that's what Ifrit means by needing a light. "I'm... best at sniping. Not much room here."

Maru blinked. Then looked down at the wet suit. He wondered if he should go and find Madoka and tell her off... He knew he hadn't needed to change.

He looked over toward the sea, then back to the barricade. "Depends on what's in there." If the creatures were small it would be fine. If they were huge...

"Uh..." The next question nearly got a smile from Maru. "... I've been around." Clearly the guy hadn't put two and two together. He had the same name as the cat he'd been playing with earlier.

Whisper's been keeping the worst of it at bay. She's hopefully past the lowest point of her life, enough to chatter a little.

She exhales pretty deeply at the reassurance, nodding slightly. "Focusing on the mission... helps enough." She'll need to find a nice quiet place to decompress when they get back, but it sounds like these missions don't last too long. "Thanks for checking."

"Huh? No!" Noct shook his head. "No, I was just teasing myself!" Noct didn't want Prompto to feel bad. "Sorry, I was just making fun of how bashful Gladio can be."

Yuki was busy trying to get his preparations in order. He felt scattered and just wasn't sure why but he had his wet suit on and he could swim. But he was working on getting things packed into his backpack and when he double and triple checked his list, he turned around.

Inigo was gone.

Setting his pack down, his list ended up floating back and forth the short distance to the ground and the silver headed man started hunting. The warrior couldn't be found in any of his usual hang outs and this was concerning the man as more time went by that the other couldn't be spotted.

Gray eyes filled with relief as he overheard Inigo ask such an odd question and then reality hit. Going over to the other, a hand went onto the warrior's shoulder. "You..don't know how to swim?"

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-11 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Gladio shook his head and then dropped a gentle kiss atop Nocts. "No one's going to be mad, Noct. I'd been thinking of not going before this... You just made the decision easier for me."

Prompto followed his gaze out to the sea. "It's too bad, isn't it? This is such a beautiful place. There's a place back home we were at- Galdin Quay- that had the best beaches." He missed when they'd gone and hung out there. Noct got to fish and there was that big fancy hotel.. sigh. "Why do bad things have to happen to such nice places?"

He wondered too what was out in that water. What kind of monsters were they going to face tonight?

Either way, he was tired and he was glad this new guy was an excuse for a break. "I'm Prompto." He offered his hand.
areasontohope: (Well in that case)

Prep

Yuki had gone Blue for the mission since Inigo was doing so. It was a matter of keeping the warrior safe who would probably do all the grand stuff and a small thing was going to be the thing that wound up doing him in. So he zipped up his wet suit and turned around.

Bucky was wearing blue?

"You're..going to be on the Blue team for this mission too?"

"Eh, I prefer it at night..." It was easier for him to move around. He didn't feel as wiped out. Somehow he didn't think he would enjoy this Galdin place.

A hand was extended to him then and Maru took a second to look at it before he reached back. His grip was kind of weak, as tired and bored seeming as apparently the rest of him was. Though there was a almost imperceptible little twitch of his lips before he spoke. "Maru."
bethereprompto: (E7h3dYn)

[personal profile] bethereprompto 2020-05-11 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Prompto's eyes widened and he flushed right before laughing and shaking his head. "Oh, duh, of course you were! I.. sorry. That was.." Okay so maybe he was more nervous about this mission than he was letting on.

He reached out and grabbed Noct's hand. "Sorry, he didn't take it well when I did tease him about it. I was worried he'd said something. But yeah, he's really cute when he gets bashful." He gave Noct's hand an affectionate squeeze before he decided just to go with the truth. "I'm nervous about today. You know on that spaceship mission, the one before you got here? I got Madoka and I ambushed and I also got Gladio hurt."

[Aw, Maru!]

The young looking person who had just sighed did not look familiar, but he felt familiar.

"Do you need a hand?" Glorfindel asked.
bethereprompto: (3615306 (18))

[personal profile] bethereprompto 2020-05-11 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Prompto gave him a funny look. "How do you know? We haven't been here overnight yet." And isn't that when the monsters were coming?

The name had the blonde's eyebrows rising sharply. "Really? Hey that's so weird, dude! My friend's cat's name is Maru too! What are the odds? Is Maru a common name where you're from?"

[personal profile] sobothersome 2020-05-11 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
"In general..." The day made him feel weak after all.

And then he wasn't too sure if he was being made fun of or not. Either this guy was teasing him or he was just that dumb. It was hard to tell. Maru blinked at him and wished Madoka was here to deal with this. This guy had far too much energy than was normal.

"Funny, that..." Maru murmured, still unsure. "I was given my name... By Madoka."

sonoflucis: (smile)

[personal profile] sonoflucis 2020-05-11 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Hearing that took a weight off of Noct's chest. "Really?" He wouldn't have blamed Gladio, not after his ordeal. "So... What do we do?"
sobothersome: (pic#13910944)

[personal profile] sobothersome 2020-05-11 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"... I don't think it's for me." Maru admitted after a moments more contemplation.

He sat himself down on the ground, the wet suit in his lap. "... That looked complicated."

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-11 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
"We stay here until they come back." Gladio answered in that same, gentle and soothing tone. "I think orange team'll be hanging around here doing their mission, so we won't be completely alone. We can help them out if you feel up to it. Otherwise we can do as much or as little as you want."

"None. I have power but none that senses things."

She pulls back, crossing her arms and raising a hand to nibble at her thumb. It hits the helmet with an obvious thud and she quickly tucks hand back down out of sight.

"Why would you need to put a whole city to sleep? Even if you wanted to steal something, you only need to put a few guards to sleep, right?"

"Oh, so just a night owl kinda guy?" That was kind of an odd thing to mention. He'd get it if this was morning and the fellow was complaining about being up early but why mention the night owl thing now? Some people were just weird.

He tilted his head to the side, frowning with confusion. "What?" That comment hadn't made any sense. His name was something Madoka- oh! He drew back startled and gave the guy a once over. "Uh.. are you messing with me?" That would be such a weird thing to lie about though. "You're a.. how?"

She smiles and leans forward on her elbows, kicking her feet to make a little splash. The water is deeper than she's used to, but that doesn't scare her. She's amazed it doesn't scare Rapunzel.

"Oh, I love to swim. It's so relaxing. Is this your first time getting to swim?"
