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.

"Scouting. Sniping." Military type stuff. "Infiltration." Nothing... that she can put to particularly good use here? But she's a fighter no matter what.

"So there are other things out there scooping up random people? How unfortunate that I ended up on this one." With people who would rather see him dead. Not that he cares what they want and it dose make things interesting..he just finds it odd.

Oops, I got it the wrong way around. Red and orange are long wavelength, low frequency.

Hey, what's to worry about? Getting eaten is better than getting lost! XD

"Underwater fishing for sharks, giant squids, or heaven only knows what. Sure, we can drag some of them home instead of them dragging us home!" He grins and mimes forking up tasty cooked monster off a dinner plate.

True, the SCA message was rather vague. The train must have faith in the Void Warriors to handle whatever unknown critters attack them. Either that or it doesn't worry, because it can always haul their chomped asses back into the luggage car.

"Apparently there are. But the Void Inspectors said it was a violation of the Ministry's regulations to kidnap people. Theoretically, we were supposed to be voluntary recruits and we were supposed to have been trained for these voyages. Not that I believe that everything that grabs people actually gives a damn about what the Ministry thinks."

Thinking about the other two worlds he's lived in besides his own. There are better and worse worlds. But also, there's that question of who you end up with. "Do you think this is coincidence, that you and Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are all here?"

Huh, he kind of acted like a cat even in this form. That was pretty cute! It was sweet how Madoka was doting on him too. He'd be really happy for them both if he wasn't feeling awkward and maybe a little guilty about what he'd asked. He listened as she explained and started nodding along that yes, of course, he'd never intend to be mean to someone! That wasn't who he was.

However, the rest of it had his breath catch in his chest and he stared at her. For a few brief seconds, he forgot the cat-man-boy-guy was even there and just.. stared. Did she know? Had Glads told her? No, he quickly dismissed that thought as preposterous. But then how..

He realized belatedly she'd stopped talking and his cheeks colored. "Uh.. right." It was hard to know what to even say to that, but he knew she was waiting. His tunnel vision widened enough for him to recall Maru. Oh! Right. That's why- it didn't have anything to do with him. Yep. His different-ness was still a secret.

"I mean, yeah. I didn't want you to feel bad, I just was worried if you'd need some help. You might be wearing orange and spend your time being a kitty, but you're here with the blue team which makes you a teammate. If you were a vegetarian and the only food around here was steak, it'd be the same thing. You might need some help to get what you need and that's okay. That doesn't make you a bad different, just.. you know, sort of different." He frowned, unsure if that had really come out how he'd wanted it. "But you can be a good person and be different. Nothing wrong with that!"

"Ah, you're the one who set Sleeper car Three on fire, right? I can understand why vast amounts of water might not be your thing, then." He smiled at her. "Now that you've seen it, what do you think?"

....He couldn't believe that this was actually a question he had to ask.

"Nita? Why are you a whale?"

The advisor waited to see what the blonde would say but the first thing he noticed was the marksman's thumbs up and grin. "Prompto that can.." And he held off, realizing he might be interrupting their guest, which was rude. So Ignis nodded at gaining the man's name and then he looked at the other blonde.

There was a quiet sigh as the other unofficial team was spoken of and there was a slight shake of the head at the group photographer. "Might I remind you that you're on the Blue team at this point and all talk of Yuffie's Black team must go through her."

Moving away from the table, Ignis got up and extended a hand to the newcomer. "Welcome to the Blue team Tidus. I look forward to working with you."

If it was something bad enough to get that kind of reaction out of Kid, Conan was already worried.

"What happened?"

Glorfindel nodded. "Very useful in our situation," he said approvingly. "If you are a floater, you can go around where needed,and help those who get overwhelmed...or just whelmed. How is your low light vision?"

No Ignis is not going to cook slime Prompto.

"Drat." the advisor snarled, sticking the fire infused daggers into..something that sounded squishy. Whatever he hit smelled too and he moved away. He backed up, tired and shook his head. Why was he tired? He could do this for a long time and not feel this winded. But whatever it was, he had to shake it off.

His drain lance came out next and he had to dismiss it and backflip to get the hell out of the way. And that was when he heard Prompto's cry that they were in trouble. "Stay in the back and get up on the beach to snipe!" Ignis called before barely missing getting clipped with a pretty big pincer or claw or whatever it was.

Tangle nods, frowning. A frown that quickly turns into a smile, before she tries to smile at her sympathetically.

"Do you want me to act as a buffer? We don't have to talk or anything, I can just. Help you keep your space."
deductiongeek: (tonedeaf anger)

[personal profile] deductiongeek 2020-05-12 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
He sets his face stubbornly.

"I'm not staying behind.If Ran-neechan is going, than I'm going too."

Prompto picked up another banana and offered it to their new friend (that's what he was, right?). He looked like he was ready to speak up and answer Tidus' question when Ignis beat him to it. His grin dropped off and he gave a quick, "Nu-uh! Black team means I can be both! Black team, we do what we want!" He said that last thing in an exaggerated old school 'punk' speak.

He snickered when he undoubtedly got a look from Ignis. "Okay okay, I won't steal the new guy!" That was really not what Ignis was likely worried about but whatever. "Blue team's cool, Tides! We're small but mighty! Even if we don't like being called turtles.." He rolled his eyes like this was important for some reason.

Whisper... it's not like she wouldn't be able to manage without Tangle. She'd get by. Even if it messed her up a little, bit by bit, here and there, she'd be fine-ish. Totally... almost acceptable.

So Whisper's still a lot better off with Tangle. "...a little bit. I can't let it... stop me from doing what I have to."

"It may be bothersome to us since we're not personally involved, but someone has to help these people be protected from danger." Ignis could understand the idea of things being troublesome or bothersome. He himself would rather be back on the train enjoying some coffee or time with his daughter or friends. And it would give him time to work on the puzzle moving around in his head.

But that wasn't something that he could do in good conscience, knowing those that came from the train were all they had between them and the monsters. There was a slight smile at the last bit and the advisor shook his head.

Not on his watch.

"Pretty good. I have excellent hearing too." And a fine sense of smell. She could manage with very little; because she had to, to even survive this far.

Glorfindel smiled broadly. "Perfect! Having someoneyou already know and trust at your side is a goodthing!" He hoped he was speaking fast enough for understanding.

"I'mGlorfindel, bytheway."

"I don't know if like is the right word. But I think I can be more useful in this mission then in some of the others."

Tangle nodded solemnly. "Hey, whatever you need to get through," she said. "I'm here for you, Whisper."

And with that, she's content to walk with her in silence.

The person to greet Allen this time is a five foot tall lemur girl, with an impossibly long tail.

"Nice to meetcha'!" she exclaimed. "I'm Tangle, and this is my first mission! Glad to be aboard!"

Despite some initial hurdles, Tangle was really... really good to her. For her.

Whisper took a quick little glance around her. No one seemed to be, like, watching them or anything. "Thank you," she said, even more quietly, slipping closer to take Tangle's hand in her own, holding onto her for a long moment.

Tangle manages to do alright for herself, but she can't help but notice the kid doing their best to help everyone keep up. Smiling, she heads over to him, waving.

"Hi there, I'm Tangle. I couldn't help but notice... you're a really responsible kid, huh? Helping everyone out."
