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.

He nodded quick approval at the both of them as the creature scrabbled around in the sand and charged again. Taiki he knew couldn't fight, but Dyme got a once-over in case he had merely been caught out without a weapon. Hard to tell; he didn't look like a fighter.

Not that it changed the current situation, of course.

"Get back to the village," was his next command. "I'll keep it occupied."

Sensei? Inigo listens to the other two speak, glad to see that apparently they get along, but then frowns a little the moment he hears that word. He's spoken to Gladio before, so he knows who the guy is, but.. what does that word mean? Inigo has no idea, and from behind Yuki he mouths the word at Prompto while looking confused, like he's silently trying to ask if he's got an idea what that means.

(He could just ask Yuki, sure, but is Inigo going to risk looking like an idiot in front of his boyfriend? No way.)

But he can at least join in on the part of the conversation he can understand.

"Oh, Gladio! Did he show up again?" He glances around them as he says it. "I don't think I've seen him around here.."

Which would be odd. He and Prompto are dating, right? Inigo knows he would be super worried if Yuki wasn't right there with him during a mission.

Madoka may not be having a particular problem herself - or rather, she hasn't noticed the one problem she does have just yet. So she's completely unaware of what's going on with some people's powers in this place.

But what she doesn't miss is the way Raven frowns. Madoka may not be able to sense emotions, but she's incredibly attentive to her friends. So the moment she notices something may be up with Raven, she's already heading over towards the other girl.

"Raven..! Is something wrong? Have you noticed something..?"

"Oh. Sorry I'm Taiki. It's nice to meet you." He had the last of the wood now, "Um there are campfires being built on the beach, so they just need to go there."

He found a smile, to thank her for her help.

"I'm not planning on going off on my own." She almost sounds a little defensive about that. But despite that tone, she is telling the truth - she really wasn't planning on going off on her own. Although she could probably handle whatever danger is out there, it'd just be a hassle to find everyone again later.

"Although it sure sounds a lot more appealing than teamwork. I can understand that it might not be such a terrible concept to you, since you seem to get along with just about anyone, but I'm not that type. Who would want to even work together with someone like me?"

"You don't have to worry about me. I can handle myself. I don't have a weapon but I'm pretty resourceful."

His entire life has been nothing but fighting.

Xue Yang smirks letting out a short type of laugh, "I want team members that won't hold me back if I decide to do things my way."

He won't answer the rest of the questions. If he can get his hands on a weapon it won't matter what they are up against, Xue Yang will be letting off some steam.

"Do you?"

Taiki didn't want to leave him, now that he had found him. Not being able to sense him was worrying, it made him frightened to have him out of his sight. He didn't know where he was or if he was even alive.

But on the other hand he had already caused him such trouble by being out here rather than back in the village where he was supposed to be and he didn't want to anger him any more than he already had.

Also he couldn't stay here much longer, the smell of blood was in the air, though he was doing his best to ignore it.

"Yes my lord." His voice was quiet, he really is sorry for the trouble he has caused.

"You do no be needing to be controlling the dead, you can just be kicking them out of the way."

She wrinkled her nose, "Then they would be being stupid but it would no be mattering because we can be leaving them to be eaten by monsters."

If they were going to falsely accuse their rescuers it would be what they deserved.

"Yes. I did be checking." She had heard people speaking about feeling strange and powers acting oddly. But it seemed magical items worked fine.

"It do be working fine."

It's weird. This conversation is so much more serious than the one they shared last time around, and yet Inigo feels so much more comfortable with it at the same time. And that's not just because it's serious - maybe it's more that it makes him feel a bit better about himself to see someone else worrying like that. It's easy to feel like you're the only one fussing when everyone else around you hides it, after all.

But with Tidus it shines through right now. It sounds like he's trying to justify himself as far as Inigo can tell - maybe even to himself, who knows.

It makes an easy smile appear on his face.

"Hey, if this felt right to you, then you're doing the right thing. You shouldn't worry about it so much." Very rich for Inigo to tell anyone else, but whatever. He can be hypocritical about this. "It's not like you have to listen to what the train tells you. None of us do. And besides.."

He shrugs a little.

"You're already here now anyway. Too late to switch teams. So why think so much about something that's already done? Just focus on what you can do here and now."

[personal profile] pleple 2020-05-16 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well shit. Ple Two wasn't very good at this teamwork thing still.

"Sorry!" might be more useful as she plowed ahead to start jabbing at whatever appendages came near her. No fancy business - just trying to impale any squishy bits near her.

Tidus can't deny, his thoughts started to drift to somewhere--to someone--towards the end there. But Inigo's response is odd to him, makes him doubt how he sounded compared to what he meant. Dismissive. Tilting his head in with a one shoulder shrug, Tidus turns himself around, walking back the right way.

"I'm not thinking of switching teams or anything," he explains, his tone light. "That's just what I thought about it, that's all."

And he's not sure what else to say, if there's anything else to say, so Tidus keeps it at that. He probably said too much in the first place, to a guy just here to do a job.

Her eyes soften a little. "Good."

Though after a moment of hesitation: ". . . You didn't see anything down there, did you?"

She's thinking more along the lines of sea monsters.

He nodded. "My son is on the Purple Team and we decided that we would come with him this time."

Since Sizhui had been helping them on Blue before, it was only fair they help with Purple as well.

"I have no preference of position on the team." He was more following another team so he wouldn't be picky. "My night vision is better than that of non-cultivators, but I don't know how it compares to those from other worlds."

Quatre said nothing about the casual greeting when they hadn't yet seen each other on the train. Wait for it... Wait for it...

There it was. Quatre laughed and hugged Duo back when he ran over to hug. "Yes, I am here. Quite a surprise finding myself here."

"No kidding?!" Duo pulled back to look the blonde over, grinning a pure and happy grin. "I'd say how but... damn, you're here too? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm really glad to see you! But sheesh... you're trapped here as well?" The grin faded some to a more sympathetic look. It was one thing to know Quatre and the others were safe back home. But now the poor guy was stuck on a train in the middle of nowhere with the rest of them. It kind of sucked. Still it was so good to see him! Duo's grin came back and he pulled Quatre in for another hug. "I've miss you, buddy!"

"Everyone on the train has been super cool about it so far," Danny tells him. "It's nice, but also weird. I'm never this lucky. So I'm kind of expecting that we run into a world filled with ghost hunters eventually."

A shrug. "My world has a mirror dimension. Its where the ghosts spend most of their time. Sometimes portals open up between the human world and the ghost zone. And portals open up inside the ghost zone all the time, and they can go literally anywhere. Other places and other times too. I kind of halfway expect to see one open in the void some day."

"I've never worn anything like it... well, tights, I suppose, those can be rather strange feeling, I suppose." She pulled at the her fingers. "So much of the clothes here are things I've never tried on before."

"I do know her style. but its more that she's my caretaker back home. And she's worried I'll get into too much danger on my own."

He was still torn on this. If he was staying close to her, he was in the best place to protect her. And he was really happy she was here.

But he'd also just had to spend most of the previous day arguing that he didn't need to be left behind where it was safe. At this rate he would not be surprised if she tried to put a toddler leash on him soon.

Ple Two? Well wasn't that unexpected? But still, Ignis just smiles and holds onto his daughter. He only smiles at Madoka's further revelation that the girl is strong and is cool. At hearing the other had a cute side, the advisor couldn't help but chuckle.

"You know, I would say some of those things about your Dad." Tony was cool and strong in the advisor's eyes. And that cute vulnerable side he rarely let anyone see. So whenever it came out, to the strategist it really was a big deal. It made him love his iron knight hero all the more.

"Well when you see her, please inform her that I am happy for you both and I should expect to see her at our family dinners as often as she would like."

The braid felt odd and fell against his face more than his bangs did, but Trowa did have to admit it was nice to not be eating his hair. "Thank you." He smiled at Glorfindel before pulling his helmet back on and locking it into place. "That is much easier to deal with."
sendiintheclown: (casual)

[personal profile] sendiintheclown 2020-05-16 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Trowa's lips twitched in amusement. "Forgot to cut my bangs first." He wasn't about to ask how his friend was going to manage that braid, Duo always found a way.
