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.

"That's the ocean, alright!"

Tangle beams as she sidles up beside Ifrit, gazing out at the horizon with her. "It can be kinda overwhelming the first time you see it, I know. My name's Tangle, by the way—you are?"

[personal profile] alongtailtalltale 2020-05-12 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Tangle... certainly hadn't expected that at all. When she feels Whisper's hand in her's, she ends up blushing a bit, but also smiling from ear to ear.

"Y-you don't have to do that..."

A long moment, that lingers, until she finally lets go and takes a step away. Doing it of her own volition, it almost... recharges her batteries?

"Wanted to." It leaves her grinning and glad that she's not super easy to see blushing.

[personal profile] alongtailtalltale 2020-05-12 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Geez, going to put Tangle on the spot here. She chuckles nervously, rubbing the side of her neck as she tries to think of a good follow up to that.

"Well, uhm. I'm glad I could be there. To hold your hand, I mean."

Nailed it.

'Cute' is the word blaring inside of her head at Tangle's nervous reaction. It's cute, how a little squeeze like that has her so flustered. "I'm very... glad I didn't show up alone." So maybe she's got a nervous laugh in her, too. But it's a lot harder to hear.

Noct normally didn't like his back touched, but Gladio knew exactly where to put his hands. He trusted Gladio like no other. He went limp, sleep beginning to take him, but not before muttering a declaration of love for the man holding him.

From the platform, Zelda's eyes go wide.

"That is quite the skill," she says, rather underplaying her surprise. "How long have you known how to transform yourself?"
alongtailtalltale: (04)

[personal profile] alongtailtalltale 2020-05-12 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
It has her flustered because it's Whisper. A gesture like that, it feels like a lot more than it would coming from someone else, coming from her.

"I'm... I'm glad too," she said, smiling wider. "It's always better to face challenges with someone you trust."

[personal profile] silentwoof 2020-05-12 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't that wild? What in the world could have Tangle sooo specifically flustered over Whisper holding her hand?

It is a mystery.

"Trust you more than anyone, Tangle."
alongtailtalltale: (10)

[personal profile] alongtailtalltale 2020-05-12 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
That... honestly surprises Tangle a bit.

"Really? You think... I'm reliable enough for that?"
silentwoof: (Default)

[personal profile] silentwoof 2020-05-12 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
From a perspective of ability and reliability, of how their first meeting went - well it should probably be Sonic actually. There's an intellectual part of her brain that knows that. When she just lets herself think about it, let's it come naturally, though...

"You are. Totally... sincerely."

"Whatever. So we got a few people who can do it. But I can do it while lighting up some monsters." Ha, get it? Lighting... ha. Okay. Moving on.

"Seems like we're both backline fighters. Hopefully we have somebody to be the frontline. Keep the enemies back while we do our work." Sniper she said, right? Ifrit was used to those. Bows, crossbows, guns, whatever. She'd seen it all.

Actually, would there even be enemies? Ifrit didn't know for sure, but... why would they even need to be here if not?

Would be nice if the canon gave us the baby's name and age >.<

"About a year," he said with a small fond smile. He missed her so much. He missed them all.

"I don't know if I'd go as far as to say trust," Ifrit mumbles kind of half-heartedly. "But she can do the job."

She wondered if Glorfindel was talking faster as a joke. If so, why hadn't Ifrit ever thought of that? Man.

"It's impressive. Fire is... powerful." It can be dangerous, judging by the whole incident the other day, but she's seen fire magic put to incredible use. "Good to have it on our side."

God this is the most talking she's done in ages.

Whisper nodded. A sniper, with a laser rifle thingy primarily, although she'd have to brush up on other weapons just in case it came up in less Void-aware worlds. "Quiet so far."
oripyrothy: (listen to me talk at you)

"I didn't set the car on fire. I set my bed on fire, and then it set off the fire alarm." Big difference. It's a difference in scale. And accountability.
oripyrothy: (uhhhhhhh)

[personal profile] oripyrothy 2020-05-12 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
And QUICKLY moving to a different subject, before they have to awkwardly discuss her setting things on fire -- "Anyway, it's, uh, pretty cool. The ocean."

She clarifies something- "I've been to a beach before, once, just before I got..." Kidnapped? "...brought on the train. But it was on a big lake, not the ocean. I was just thinking how different it feels." She could practically taste the salt in the air, for one. The way the beach curved around was another - it meant the land was giving way to the water, not the other way around.

It was different.

Ifrit was momentarily startled out of her reverie by the appearance and wordiness of this new person. Glancing over her - short, furred.... looking at the ears and tail, maybe an Anaty, like Mayer?

Oh right. Being addressed. Come on, Ifrit. "Uhh, yeah, guess so. Seen some big lakes, but never the ocean. I'm Ifrit."

He chuckled and clapped him on the back. He wasn't Greg. his pun game wasn't at Curufin's level. "We find any monsters my friend, you can just talk to them, they;'ll be laughing too hard to attack. Just shield just in case."

"I can fight.... If they need someone to fight some sort of.... dream spell card...." through the suits, Rapunzel would be able to feel how badly she is shaking. And that close she could see how drawn her face looks, and how her head is lolling. Something is very not right with this girl. Or, you know, maybe she's a zombie.

"Well met Glorfindel. I am Hera." She smiled at him warmly and chuckled at his words. "The monsters are new I am afraid, but many of those coming out of these caves are crustacean in nature."

She looked at him and shook her head, "They are larger than any crab should be though."

"Knife or un-bladed stick?" he asked spinning to send a blast of power at another, making it stagger and fall. "Or a sauce pan? Got one with good balance." You have to love when running jokes from home turn into wonderful improvise weapons that can be grabbed from the kitchens...

That was... a new reaction. Not the worst way someone has responded to her pace, but still a little weird.

"Noneed totalkfast, Icanunderstand justfine. Ijusthappento talkquickly."

More about her attitude than what she wore. She thought about that, frowning at the flippers and then smiling at Alice's words.

Alice seemed like a very strong person and so her praise meant a lot. So she would trust her, as long as she acted like she wasn't stupid, she wouldn't look stupid at all.

Despite her smile she isn't actually sure what to say to a compliment like that so she just went grabbed the breather and started fiddling with the pipes that attached it to the helmet.
knifewithnoname: (yes okay)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2020-05-12 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Well I do be having my dagger, so you can be staying behind me."

She was pretty sure she could face whatever stupid monsters awaited them.

She preferred not fighting things head on, but sometimes it was necessary and she was no coward.
