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.

Maru shrugged... And then decided to hell with it. In a poof of odourless dark blue smoke, the human form of Maru vanished and in it's place sat a small, black cat atop the barricade.

"... Guess Madoka didn't tell you about me, huh?" Maru said. In this form he sounded much younger than he did as a human. He sat on his haunches and looked up at the guy with way too much energy.

"I'm a Servamp. I'm a vampire... and a cat... kind of. This is just how I was made." It was weird explaining it and he normally wouldn't bother, but he knew this one was someone important to Madoka. That was the only reason he hadn't walked away.

"AH!!" Prompto jerked back and nearly fell off the barricade (which was only a few feet anyway). He stared in shock as a cat was in the place of the guy who had just been here.

He shook his head and gaped at him. "A serva-what-a? A v- but.. why a cat? A- and are you like uh.. are you.." He looked around but didn't see Madoka. "Does she know?"

[personal profile] sobothersome 2020-05-11 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Another puff of smoke and he was back to being human, only this time he was sat with his legs crossed and looking a little more uncomfortable. He kind of wished Madoka was there to help him with this...

"She knows..." Of course she knew. She was his Eve. Not that this guy knew that.

"... Why a cat. Why not a cat?" What was wrong with a cat?

Noct nodded, limply laying across Gladio. His body was exhausted from being so tense. "For now, I just want to lay with you..."
callmegladio: (53)

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-11 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Gladio smiled and moved them so that Gladio could lay down on the bed, and brought Noct down with him, moving the younger man so that he was laying atop him rather than beside. He kept his arms around Noct. Keeping him safe. "Then lay with me, love. I'm here."
sonoflucis: (smile)

[personal profile] sonoflucis 2020-05-11 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Noct snuggled with Gladio, body relaxing more and more. "I'm glad you came to me. I was so frozen, I'm surprised I was able to call out for you."
callmegladio: (21)

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-11 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm glad you could..." He said as he slowly rubbed a hand up and down Nocts back, smiling as he felt him starting to relax. "I'd have noticed though. I wasn't too far away." And Gladio had been making his way there anyway, with a plan to apologise and wish them luck on their mission. It had just been his good fortune that he'd been closer to Noct than anyone else.
sonoflucis: (smile)

[personal profile] sonoflucis 2020-05-11 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Noct laughed softly. "You're the best, you know that? I can always count on you." Maybe that's why he was the first person he called out to. "We can spend some time together, just... Relaxing. Maybe we can cook for the orange team?"
callmegladio: (Default)

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-11 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe I can cook for the orange team." Gladio chuckled. "But I like that plan. Just relaxing. We'll find something to keep ourselves entertained, Noct." But he couldn't deny the warm feeling he had from knowing Noct had called for him, that he felt he could be counted on. That was all he really wanted in life.
myblueskies: (someone needs help!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2020-05-11 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
He smiled at her gratefully and then his face turned to worry. Because if he couldn't do borderlines... Had something happened to Elfnein?

She was with the orange team, far away from him but she had said she would be alright. But now...

"This is bad..."
sonoflucis: (smile upward)

[personal profile] sonoflucis 2020-05-11 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Noct laughed, snuggling Gladio. "I can make snack bowls." He suggested. "But I concede that I probably shouldn't cook." There was a sparkle in his eyes as he smiled at Gladio. "But we definitely should keep ourselves busy."
myblueskies: (of course!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2020-05-11 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes. Well no. I'm still on the Blue team. But you can go with the other teams if you want. No one gets mad."

He smiled at him, this was his first time being on a team that wasn't blue, so he wasn't sure how things were here. But he was sure they would be just as good at teamwork as blue were!
myblueskies: (bittersweet)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2020-05-11 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
"We will be." He nodded determinedly. Last time had been bad, but that wouldn't happen again. He would make sure to look after Joss really well!

"Madoka, can you swim?"

He hopes she can. He knows she will try really hard and do good teamwork so he isn't too worried about her. But if she couldn't swim that would be more worrisome!
myblueskies: (of course!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2020-05-11 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Sorry sir!" Romeo quickly turned the torch off, plunging them into darkness though he made sure to reach out for Joss' hand. He knows it must be strange for him, he used to be able to see very good in the dark and now he can't.

"Scouting ahead sir! We are small so we can get through the tunnels quick!"

Of course this man was not small at all and he seemed to have no trouble at all. So that was good!

Glorfindel shook his head. "Nothing formal. I'm just trying to get a feel for if people have a preference. Escort duty prioritizes protecting those we are escorting, but some people work better as part of a group and others are better in singles or pairs."

"I can see well in very low light conditions, and am...quite sneaky, hence why I am going to be a scout, for example. Though I have served as main escort," he added with a grin. "In a situation like this, where we have only been told, 'Monsters' I think we are all going to see some action."

"If you are unsure, I'd be happy to advise. What is your fighting style?"
callmegladio: (Default)

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-11 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
"You can help me though." Gladio decided. Noct could at least handle a blade, so chopping things up shouldn't be a problem.

He grinned and leaned his forward to kiss the bridge of Nocts nose, then his forehead. "And we will. Even if by busy you mean a crazy amount of naps." Because he knew he would be more than happy to join Noct for each and every one of them.

"Just keep hold of my hand and breathe normally. These helmets are really magic, it's not like being under water at all!"

He's not seen anything like it before but it makes being underwater a lot easier.

"On three! One! Two! Three!"

He dove down, not letting go of Joss.

"It is," Glorfindel said, coming up beside her. He sounded a bit wistful. "Not my ocean, but it is. Are you okay?" Among his people, the Longing to go West could be triggered by the sight of the sea, but she was from a different World, so he didn't know what was going on in her mind.

[Because I just cannot resist....]

"Ifrit!" Glorfindel smiled at her. They'd met briefly before, but now they were all trying to get organized and he was helping out with that.

Based on what she just said, he would not put her on main escort, as she might jeopardize the lives of those they were there to protect. "I'm thinking we could use you on flank actually. If you need to set something on fire, it will be behind us. Plus, we do not want anything sneaking up behind us, as some feel that is the weak point of a column and target it specifically."

"Would you prefer to work alone, or with a partner?"

Bucky cast his gaze out to the rainforest. "To be honest, I'm not sure, either. I don't know if the kind of trees here would produce it, but the villagers might be able to help with that. They've got a pretty strong interest in keeping these monsters at bay, too," he replied with a smile.
sonoflucis: (smile upward)

[personal profile] sonoflucis 2020-05-11 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Noct nodded. "Yeah! I'll help anyway I can."

Noct laughed at the kisses, smiling brightly. "I like naps! And some gardening... And more naps!" He thought about it. "If we sleep at a different time, maybe we can avoid the warping for now..."

"Oh.. okay." Well, that made him feel better at least. Madoka knew and he must be treating her well for her to be so happy with him. He might ask her later just to make sure, but he was going to trust his gut for now on that one.

He had to shrug with a slowly growing smile at that last question. "I don't know. I just never thought of vampires and cats being connected. There are some old stories about them and bats. You're awfully cute as a cat." Something else clicked in his head. "Oooooooooooohhh, is this why you like it at night? Hey what about the blood thing?"
knifewithnoname: (yes okay)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2020-05-11 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, just like a seal." She grinned and waggled her bare feet in an flapping movement.

"But seals do be being good swimmers, and Curufin did be saying these do be helping you swim. So they better be working." She wrinkled her nose, "I do no be wanting to be looking stupid for nothing."
callmegladio: (Default)

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-11 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
"I know you will." He didn't doubt that for a second. Noct could always be relied on to lend a hand when needed.

"I know you do." Gladio laughed. "I'd go as far as to say they're a hobby of yours. But you could be right? We'll have to experiment and see."
knifewithnoname: (yes okay)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2020-05-11 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
"That would be being stupid of them." She nodded, serious again. "But I do be thinking you do be being strong enough to be fighting any stupid water demons."

After all if he could murder entire clans, he could deal with stupid demons. Not that she's ever met a demon. She's not even sure what one is, but she thinks he means a monster of some kind.
