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.

"It's nice to meet you, Ifrit," she said. "I'm guessing you haven't had much to travel around, then?"

Tangle laughed. "Just Tangle is fine. I don't need to called miss."

She grins. "But it's good you do that! It's really admirable, showing initiative like that."

"Ah... I heard about that mission from my roommate Noctis," she replied. "I'm sorry it went down like that."

She grinned. "Oh, trust me! I'm more than ready to fight if we have to!"

"Yeah, it is a bit true," she says, laughing a bit nervously. "But... thanks. But I couldn't solve anything without you, or Sonic and the others. I'm. I'm really proud of how far you've come, Whisper."

Where would she be without Tangle? ...that could lead to some very dark places.

"Couldn't... couldn't have done it without you. I mean it." She glances away, blushing again.

"That might explain why I haven't met her yet. I'm not the most social of people either, but I try, because this is a new life and not like the old one in my world. Maybe she's still getting used to being here."

He hopes that Xue Yang does manage to find a place here.

"That's good, that you've met some of your team already. That might make it easier when the train announces drop order and you have to start the mission. I can understand what you mean when you say you'll watch until it's absolutely necessary. . . to interact? Still, this is a small community. It's really important to have friends and allies. If you don't want to interact, though, I'm sure you have your reasons.

Snorting softly in amusement, Trowa took off his bag to secure the short spear in it. "It's been a long while since I've had the chance to eat crab, but I wager the ones we'll see here could feed a full car each."

"Ah... couldn't let a teammate get hurt." She would, in fact, rather get herself hurt than leave a kid like this in danger.

Had she mentioned it, Lea would have told her that she didn't need to change for this either way. The bottom line was simply that normal clothes were much more practical for fighting on a beach. Had they been diving, the change would have been needed, but as things stood, it wasn't.

On his end, things had been pretty quiet until the first monster broke the surface, but when it did, he couldn't say he wasn't happy to see the small, dark figure joining him. "Nice to see see ya!", he said as he slashed out at the nearest tentacle. "Watch your footing; there's a lot of rocks in this area."

"Hey-" There's a faux note of offence as Tidus pauses, holding up his free hand in a 'wait' motion, a small smirk that slips into his voice to top it off.

"I don't know about you, but I'm here to swipe a blue hoodie. It's more my colour than the others."

And with that moment of unnecessary theatrics, Tidus picks up his pace again, joining alongside Inigo whether he stopped or not.

"What about you? Didn't I see you in purple on the train?"

Alas, Lea didn't have Drizzt's infrared vision to rely on, but he'd still spotted the torch down the beach and managed to discern who was holding it thanks to its light. He'd started toward the other at a fairly normal pace, but then the shadows in front of the other man had shifted and solidified, taking shape into the form of a creature whose eyes glinted yellow in the torchlight and Lea summoned his Keyblade on pure reflex, taking up a combat stance. It somewhat surprised him that that was still his immediate reaction after almost a full year without seeing a Heartless, but at least he knew he hadn't lost his edge.

He quickly paused though, upon seeing that Drizzt didn't seem the least bit alarmed by the huge cat's presence. In fact he was... hugging it? Lea mostly relaxed, continuing his approach, if a bit more cautiously, his Keyblade still in hand, it's somewhat translucent blade that glowed and flickered like real fire undoubtedly drawing attention on the dark beach.

"Well, looks like I'm not the only one who has friends along for the ride on this trip," he said by way of announcing himself as he approached.

Lea heard the laughing and couldn't help but grin himself when he looked up and saw what was causing it. "I know, right?", he said to the other man. "I'm not even gonna bother with mine; normal clothes are way more practical for what we're gonna be doing."
hotheadwarmheart: (Interested)

Prep

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2020-05-13 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Lea had picked out one of the waterproof backpacks and had been preparing to leave to go fill it when he spotted the other man staring at the wetsuit in his hands in confusion. "It's called a wetsuit," he informed him, "and it's like that because it's designed to be insulating and not get in the way when you're swimming."

"I'm guessing your team is going to be one of those doing some diving?", he said, noting the purple color and recalling the announcement.

"The one you called Little One I met in the kitchen. As well as others. I made sure to make myself acquainted with the various areas of the train."

He had several very interesting conversations his first couple days here. He would consider any of them friends but it is good to try to gain a few allies when there are enemies on board already.

"I'll see how things go. I don't really rush into anything since I'm not familiar with how these missions run."

The creature might not be intimidated by Dyme's attempt at bravado, but a large, spiked chakram coming spinning through the air to hit it smack in its ugly face before returning to the hand of its owner? That might be a different story. Especially when said owner had another, identical chakram in his other hand and seemed perfectly ready to use both of them.

"Need a hand?", Lea called out. "Or better yet, two?" He indicated his twin chakrams with a smirk, though he always kept one eye on the creature.

Yes. I've used...somewhat similar weapons before, but never these. I wish I had more time.

[Mami smiles at her. ]

Are you prepared?
magicurls: (Default)

[personal profile] magicurls 2020-05-13 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"What..."

By the time the monster was nearly upon her, she was panicking. She'd nailed the first shot, but missed the other, and one wasn't enough. They were so much weaker than her muskets. But a black blur came out of nowhere, and Mami quickly shifted position to avoid hurting her.

"I'll shoot from the other way!"

And she'll carefully choose an attack angle to avoid any risk of hurting the girl, narrowly avoiding a nasty claw.

"...are you sure that's all right to do?" Mami hates to ask, but...she would feel safer with her friend. Yes.

Tangle beams at her. "And... I couldn't have done it without you, either."

Now they're both blushing. And will be, for as long as their journey continues uninterrupted.

[ A good while after they parted, Kaiba finally makes it back to the surface. He scrambles up the platform with his remaining strength, unhooks the helmet, and looks over at Yugi blankly. ]

It was really eerie down there, Yugi. Probably a good thing that you left. A whole city of merfolk...allegedly alive, but in stasis.

The light illuminates something she was not expecting, namely one panicking magician who shoots out of the water, still in full scuba gear, to huddle behind her.
