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 gave the Shiny Guy a rather disgruntled look when his hair was ruffled. It wasn't UNmessy as it was... but the guy didn't have to go making it worse.

And yet Maru didn't stop him. It seemed pointless. Though it was weird. Fair enough the guy had kind of done that when he was a cat. But it was weird to do it when he was human as well. Maybe this guy wasn't bothered by that?

"... Until I take it off." Maru sighed and then gave a little experimental move of his arms and twisted a bit. "This feels weird."

Glorfindel laughed. "Then you have the luck of an Elf to be sure. My life has been a series of fights of one sort or another. It is the brief respites that make it all worth it, though."

"Have you considered just...gelling it back for now? Or braiding it?" Glorfindel was not the right person to ask about hair cutting. "If you take your helmet off for a moment, I can help with that," he offered.

Raven-Co-Lead Blue Team (this mission)

[personal profile] azrthmtrnznthos 2020-05-14 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Preparations
Like Bucky, Raven has gone for the Blue gear this time and is leaving her cloak behind on the train. She grabs one of the water-proof bags in prep for heading to the Medical car for supplies, and checking in with Bucky before she does. "Anything specific you want me to grab? Last time I did any kind of underwater mission I was in a sub or in a cave."

Blue Arrival
"We have a problem..." Raven murmured and she didn't sound happy. Keeping her voice low though so hopefully only he could hear her for now. Holding out a hand, she attempted to call her waterproof bag to her with her dark-energy. It wouldn't come and she frowned at the effort it was taking to even attempt it.

Dressing
Raven is heading out with Blue team this time as Co-Lead on Ignis behalf, which means she's ignoring the purple wetsuit for an entirely different reason. "Give me a moment and I'll come see if I can make sense of it."

Preparation and arrival

Raven was assisting on Blue-team this time, and so she grabbed blue gear instead of the purple. Waterproof bag with medical supplies, she was ready in case she had to dive--and no little nervous. The last time she'd been on an underwater mission had been with Aqualad, and she'd managed to avoid actually swimming.

Of course, as soon as she's on the ground she notices a different problem. Frowning, and she can't sense anyone's emotions. Not that she usually tried but most people broadcast without realizing it and she couldn't hear it. She tried levitating, and it was as frustrating as when she'd been stuck in Starfire's body--she couldn't fly.

Okay, don't panic--she was co-lead on this mission. First, alert Bucky so he knew they wouldn't be able to depend on her abilities. Second, find other blues who might be having the same trouble and get a head-count. Third, figure out what she could do anyways--as preparations would be most important to start.

Glorfindel had to laugh at the look he got. "Has anyone every told you that you remind them of a cat?"

"Yes, but then you should be able to rinse the talc off," Glorfindel said. He'd never used it for quite this same purpose, but he was familiar with it. "It's a skin tight spongy material." He twisted a bit himself. "I'd worry if it didn't feel weird."

Maru quirked a brow at the guy. His lips quirked in something that was very much almost a smirk. And then in a little puff of blue/gray smoke Maru shifted from his human shape into that of the small black cat.

"... More than once." He replied, now sat on the bench in all his kitty glory. The wet suit was good enough to change with him, not that it could be seen. He wasn't a cat in a suit. But when he changed back he would still be wearing it.

The last question might have been accepted with some jest, but when the guy took the time to talk about the mascots and then tacks that on the end of a set of okay ones, Tidus can't help but stare at Prompto dubiously. Just briefly.

"Looook... I have someone I want to talk to before we leave," he starts with amicably, hopefully to curb any more derails. With that said. "But yeah, I can swim and fight. Both at once if you need it. I can go half an hour underwater without breathing, depending." A small tilt of the head. "It was my job."

Ten minutes was his job--the rest was pure stubborn training, to kick up his endurance to take a beating without choking. They have the breathing apparatuses anyway, but Tidus puts it out there just because. And Prompto did ask what he was good at.

"I got a weapon from a guy here, so I'm covered there too. Anything else... you're gonna have to ask," he admits, starting to draw a blank on any more specifics. "I can heal if you're desperate, and I know some other magic, but I'm basically the slice and dice guy in a group. Unless it turns out the fiends really hate being belted with balls," he adds jokingly, "then I'm a great aim."

Allen nodded slightly, keeping an eye out for potentially anything. Like the last few worlds, Allen was aware of being able to see where they are was impossible. His eyes could only see the souls of Akuma. Though he never thought about if it could work on other things where souls might be attached to.

"Since this world seems to be a water world, I assume the monsters here will be water-based."

"The brief moments of peace, right?" He said before giving a brief smile. He did enjoy those moments himself.

He had soon gone to start walking. "It's moment like that, that I wish were a thing more often, but it is something we kind of have to work toward."
mynameisallen: (103)

[personal profile] mynameisallen 2020-05-14 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
Allen had soon started to get changed and was more than happy to multitask while he did. Talking to the other as he did.

"I don't know exact numbers team-wise, but if Purple has quite a large number, then having some go on the other missions would probably be fine. I mean for an escort mission you'd need a decent number, but we're all good fighters, so having others go on the others missions would be okay, I think."
mynameisallen: (162)

[personal profile] mynameisallen 2020-05-14 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
"But that's where teamwork comes into play. I admit I don't actually know a lot of people here to know their fighting style and how to work with them, but it's something we need to do."

He smiled slightly. "You might not be used to it, but it's something that is quite often necessary. Though there might also be times when people will go off on their own too and that is okay sometimes. If you think it's the best situation of course."

"I hate the fact it did and we never got answers, but we just have to keep walking forwards." Toward whatever it is they need o do next.

Doesn't mean he likes the train as much because of it though. The trust isn't there.

"That's good to hear. Though is it okay to ask what you are capable of? If we have to end up working together while fighting it's good to know."

"That's right." Which he didn't mind. he was a pretty decent swimmer at least. But he soon figured out how it worked and started to put it on, making sure he actually got the right fit before doing anything else.

"Hopefully things go better than last time."

"Hm." His wife says dubiously (but she's smiling). "The last time you said that we got lost in the Pelori. In a blizzard."

Never mind that that happened when they had only just started courting. She will hold it over him forver.

"Mostly because we have our own," Nita observed.

"But the last thing we want to be focusing on is an environmental risk when we're in battle - like water, or the vacuum of space - when there's enemies to fight."

She thought of Dairine, and how she'd prepared for her own Ordeal, and had to stifle a snort. Some people just barely read the cliffnotes before they go and put themselves in danger...

But she didn't say that aloud.

"I'm fine, though is there anything I can do to help? I'm not exactly good in the water."

He was making sure he was about as dry as he could be and thought over what else those who do dive might need.

[personal profile] sizedoesntmatter 2020-05-14 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
He nodded slightly, listening to what the other had to say. So the train does listen to some suggestions that others bring to the plate. But that made Yugi wonder just what he would want to actually suggest. It already had a gaming room, which was nice. Maybe an arena for dueling or something. He wasn't exactly sure for that one.

But he soon nodded, it was a tiny bit reassuring about the light, but he still didn't think that was the issue that was scaring him now he thought about ti some more.

"That's good to know. I will remember that when I go down, if I decide to."

"It's a sea." He says wryly. "If we were talking a pool ...I might get lucky. But... well. Ocean."

He nods. "Thanks."

Tony groaned in annoyance when he was woken up by the message. He'd been indulging this morning with sleeping in later than he normally did. Ignis was already out and about, but the bed was warm and Tony didn't have any particular reason to rush today.

Anytime a message from the SCA popped up people began their usual chatter on the ICP. Tony sighed knowing his easy morning had just been canceled. Reading over the message, he frowned and glanced up to see if Buttercup was still there. Fortunately, she was!

"Hey kid," Tony greeted with a groggy tone. "Do you know how to swim?" He was pretty sure he remembered it coming up that she couldn't, but it was early and he couldn't quite remember.

Good thing, too. A strong offense is about all I can offer!

I take it you'll be watching our backs from the sidelines, then?

If I strike it with my spear as a distraction, do you think you might be able to charge with the fire? I'm certain that'll do a better job of driving it back!
