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.

She nods. "I'm hoping someone who can cook stays behind, but if not, well, I can make a peanut butter sandwich?" She hopes he knows what that is, because she's not sure how to explain it.

Misa waves it away. "Eat then sleep. You've been out there, while I've just been in here." She shrugs.

It's not that Misa hasn't been doing work. If people take the time to notice, there are certain things that are sparkling now, that weren't when all of this started. But she's not out there in the thick of it.

Where she's from, being a courtesan is like being nobility. It is the way it is. But she's not going to risk that, not even with lives at stake.

Misa shrugs. "Everyone will need warm towels, also, if someone else cooks, I'll do the clean up. Plus, there's regular chores to get to, as well."

"I'll try not to fall asleep here, anyway," Nita musters, having finished her sandwich much faster than she'd expected.

"Seems like I'd be in the way, if I fell over..."

Shaking her head carefully, she checks herself for vertigo and moves into a position with better posture, the better to get herself back on her feet from.

"You think it's worth setting an alarm? Be a pain if I did, only to sleep through it."

"What sort of thing did you wear before? Something a lot less restrictive, I imagine. If all of this is very different to you." Persephone gives the fabric a rub between her fingers.

"I do. I have cared for him most of his life." Now that Sizhui remembered his past and openly referred to WuXian as his mother, it was okay to share that. "I would prefer them to not be trapped here as well, but I am able to watch over them."

He nodded. "His name is Lan Sizhui. He is on this team."

"I am imagining combat as well. I am willing to stay back from the main group to assist with keeping back anything that comes for us."

"I did. I still wonder how much is involved. I am going to be helping the Orange Team. There is something that I need to help take care of."

Quatre had left his own hoodie behind so it was harder to tell which team he was on.

"You are going with the purple team then."

Nothing subtle about it, but WangJi was one who appreciated people being straightforward with him. Beating around the bush often made things difficult. Fewer words, the better. He looked over at her and nodded his head once.

"Wei Ying and I have both decided to go with him. He has been joining us on ours so we will accompany him on his. He will not be alone."

WangJi didn't want anything to happen to Sizhui so of course, he was going to go with him.

"It was, indeed, for the briefest of times!"

She laughs softly. It had been terrifying then, but looking back on it now...

"Mm, I did enjoy the cuddling under the blankets!"

She takes his hand without hesitation. "Let us go"

Ignis had the good grace to nod at the assessment. But he couldn't in good conscience back off as it was put to him. "I appreciate the thought. However, even if all I end up doing is serving in the capacity of back up, I'm not quitting."

He sighed and lifted his head, willing himself to face the ocean and its nefarious inhabitants no matter what it took. Madoka and all of the rest were fighting as well. He couldn't just slack off and let others do the fighting for him. Besides, he was two good fighters down and the advisor would have to make up for the lack.

With another sigh, he moved towards the sea.

At hearing Duo would have something he might want, the head tipped curiously. That curiousity only increased as he headed over to where the boy indicated. Upon seeing the weapons, the blondish head nodded. "If you're not using them I've no doubt they may prove to be invaluable to my team."

He made no move to touch them as they weren't his to do so. But he was interested and would definitely be offering them to everyone. After all, who knew how long they would be down there and maybe if nothing else, the islanders could use them to defend their homes. It made him recall the news about Insomnia falling and how they'd tried to go back. The advisor had his own weapons, but there were those unlucky enough who might not.

Maru didn't blush, he didn't know if he could, or it was something that was so rare it almost never happened. But if it was something he did it might have happened then. Madoka really did overuse that word. Maru was starting to think she'd given him the wrong name.

Was he happy? He thought about it. Seriously thought about it, because Madoka deserved an honest answer. And the honest answer came to him very quickly.

"Yeah... I'm happy." He nodded, he had smiled, hadn't he? There hadn't been many times in his long life where he had felt like smiling. But so far Madoka had earned several of them. "... Are you?"

He smiled with a nod. Well a willingness to learn was the best way to start anything really. And if Inigo was going to try his best, that was a good thing. He really didn't expect the other to get everything right away either, so there was that.

But at the request, Yuki stopped and hesitated. He tried to avoid affection as much as he could since that..wall thing happened. Then he mentally chided himself. It was just a simple kiss and pulling back and all that. Besides, it could be something really quick.

So he smiled to hide the fear. "Of course you can." But he made no move at all to close the distance between them.

Maru watched the guy moving forward again and grumbled under his breath about people being the death of him, before he darted off of the barricade and followed the guy. He would get himself killed being tired and out there. So Maru trailed behind him, much like a cat, watching his every move.

Until the sea surged ahead of them and one of the shark headed creatures appeared. Maru had already decided he disliked these ones. He'd gotten caught by their claws before. And without Madoka he didn't have access to his own.

"This is so bothersome I could die..." He muttered unhappily, just before he ran around Glasses Man and launched himself at the shark head. Maybe he didn't have his claws, but he could still fight.

"It would be being the longest and most patient murder attempt I did be seeing." She pulled off the helmet to speak and grinned.

She could think of much quicker ways to kill people than kidnapping them, holding them for months whilst feeding them and dressing them just to drown them.
knifewithnoname: (yes okay)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2020-05-18 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, Lightning." She nodded, she was happy to go with Lightning and she could be ready in a few minutes.

Duo grinned. "Can't carry them all myself. I'm not trained with a sword anyway. So you can take em for your team. I don't know if there's some train armoury where we can keep things like this, but if there is you can just shove them there when you're done with them. They're just leftovers from the last mission I didn't get to pass around."

Ignis was finishing up doling out supplies and trying to figure out where to safely put the rest of what he had. But then he spotted Raven and headed over to where she was. The other team members were milling about, Blues were headed to Purple and some of those were coming over to Blue. As it stood, the strategist could count about five or six Purples that would be accompanying this mission.

This only made him happy as Blue was the smallest team still.

It was a little odd when he approached, Raven could normally sense him and would turn around but this time was different and a little odd. So the advisor cleared his throat to make some noise and smiled. "Blue certainly suits you."

Magic had many words in many worlds and worked in many different ways. She is not surprised to hear he had magic himself and part of her is ashamed of the way she had cajoled him into chopping carrots for her. Not all worlds revere those with magic like hers did but it would not do to fall out of good habits.

She would have to return to her own world eventually. So her voice held a lot more respect when she spoke again. "Then if we do be finding just bodies at the bottom I will be leaving it to you."

After several minutes of this, Xion got frustrated and decided to risk one spell. She charged in, got in close and then "FIRAGA!" she yelled blasting a powerful fire spell at the thing's underbelly, point blank. She rolled out from under it in case it fell on her, since these things for some reason didn't vanish when they died. Hopefully this one at least dropped a potion or some munny or a healing orb....

"You can learn about the world just by being here? Is that an elf thing?"

She didn't know a lot about elves.

Everywhere she looks, it feels more and more like a court that simply--stopped. The world around her is so very quiet, even with the addition of their team wandering about. Sound doesn't travel so well in water, for those with normal ears at least. It's eerie in a way such a town might be above water.

Up into a spire, she goes, peaking into rooms where people clearly lived and now sleep. Up more and more until she's standing on the edge of it, shivering despite the suit to keep her warm.

"I don't like it. I don't like any of this. It's wrong. People just--dropped things and fell asleep. Work, food, their weapons. They never saw this coming. If it's an attack, it was done from afar."

"...agh! Stay back!"

Mami charged forward and bluntly whacked the creature over the head with the broad side of the bow, and finally it went down. She wiped her brown and looked over at her ally.

"Mm. That was unpleasant. Are you all right?"

Bringing up the rear guard. I'm more of a long range fighter...in training.

[ She puffs up. She doesn't look like much, but this woman is so strong! It encourages her to try, even without magic. ]

I'll support you as best I can.
