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.

"Yes."

She doesn't even seem to have to think about the answer the way he does.

"After all, when you're happy, I am too." It's as simple as that. There's nothing Madoka loves more than seeing the people around her happy - especially when Maru is about to do so much for her. He already forced himself to put on this wet suit, technically for her sake. As long as he seems happy enough, Madoka doesn't have to worry about feeling guilty that he's doing so much for her.

"All right. Now you know otherwise."

She nods, then offers her hand.

"So what do you want to do now? Would you like to try again eventually, or would you rather stay here?"

"We'll cover more ground that way," Zelda nods. "Shall we circle back in thirty minutes?"

That would give them time to look around, while still being within proximity in case of an emergency.

Heading over once she's picked out her own gear, Raven examined the helmet and how it all attached. "Okay, I think this goes here, and connects here."

"I can't seem to sense anyone's emotions. Even when I drop my own shielding. I also can't seem to levitate." Raven responded bluntly to Madoka's question.

/Works for me. You can use the SCA to set a timer, even./

Nita assumes Zelda knows about that feature already.

/I, ah, can't reach mine in this shape, though, but I should be able to hear yours if I somehow lose track of time!/

She didn't startle, but that she didn't turn around was a sign that something was wrong. his comment did bring a soft laugh. "You've seen me in blue before--my cloak is blue. Back home, I wear a black leotard with blue boots, my cloak, and blue accents otherwise."

"I mean that I live with her family at home and she takes care of me. But we're not related. I started living there after my parents left for another country."

He makes a face at Curufin.

"You don't have to sound so surprised.

"Most of the time," he says. "My parents had a permanent portal in the basement. I could go through it anytime as long as no one was watching."

He shudders a little at that idea. "I really hope not. This train is not big enough to deal with some of them."

"Don't worry Ran-neechan!" he hastily adds. "When we go down it will be with a group big enough to scare anything away."

Because it was one thing to go off by himself when it was only himself he was risking. He wasn't about to do the same thing if Ran would be there.

"Good." He seemed pleased with that answer. Having her happy was very good in his book. She deserved that.

"Just stick with me... We'll get through this." Maru would definitely protect her happiness.

"Hopefully. More just a curiosity." Of course, that was the general assumption, but there was no telling what one was going to find. He'd learned that well both from being a Gundam pilot and from owning a very large business. Quatre wasn't exactly a fish when it came to water, but not likely to struggle much with it either. It depended on what was on the other end since he did still want to help with this mission.

"It sounds like that will be an important part of the mission. I hope that it goes well."

[personal profile] swansongs 2020-05-19 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Turning a little to look, he nodded. "Good idea." The fact that they couldn't see what was happening under the water didn't comfort him in the slightest. He'd lived next to the ocean his entire life, and this was still closer than he'd ever been to it. He would've been happier with some steel and glass separating them from the water.

"A lot better than my idea of just hanging around on the beach."

[Encouraged by the creature's reaction--and Bryn's, too--Dyme kept on bashing, hoping he was burning the monster at the same time. One would think that would happen when something was hit with a flaming torch, so.]

Hey, you're pretty strong.

[Right before he was smacked with a flailing tentacle, whoomp. It knocked the wind out of him, and sent him stumbling a few steps. At least the creature was seemingly retreating and not coming after him more.]

"Yeah, that's what I'm banking on. I act as the early warning system, and they do the fighting." So he could still work in being useful without getting himself killed, he hoped. He knew he hadn't been completely useless on the last missions, but he wanted to be able to do more.

"Glad to be of help." Glorfindel said. "Let me knowo if you need anything else. I did bring some food with me that keeps well, if you run out later."

[Wrap?]

His eyes flickered in the direction of the village, even more worried now. He had thought the man had just gotten unlucky but if this had been part of some concerted early attack...

He nodded, though he doesn't quite move yet, this time waiting for the man he had ran with. He doesn't want to leave him alone.

He doesn't want to leave Lord Gyousou alone either but he knows he is only a hindrance to him.

"Yes." That was the reality of it, there wasn't going to be any repose from the monsters but everyone here would need rest or even more people would be hurt.

He can't keep the sorrow from his voice, he hates even the thought of this fight happening. Even though the alternative is even worse. He hates that this island is going to be marred with violence and bloodshed.

"Even when he takes a powder he does more in a minute than most people accomplish all day," Glorfindel agreed. "I doubt Scrubby even owns a towel. And if he did, he'd rather it be used for drying, until it was merely a moist towelette."

Glorfindel smiled. He'd helped raise three dear elflings himself, though he was not their blood relation. He would feel quite the same if either or both of the twins were here. Although, they'd be really helpful on their mission, he admitted to himself.

"I will look for him and introduce myself when I have a chance," Glorfindel promised. Especially since he was one of his team mates.

"Flank then? That would be wonderful. Right now we have Ifrit and Shaw taking that flank," he said with a nod to the fireperson and the firefighter. "I understand their plan is to set things on fire, then kill them."

He smiled again. Someone he could relate to. "I do try to get the recommended four hours of reverie, but in hostile territory, you make do with what you get, right?"

He eyes the water and sighs.

"Yeah. Guess I'm gonna be pretty useless this mission. Suppose I'll have to sit it out on the train. If I go down again and panic, I'll just get in the way."

"Just know I'm keeping you to that one."

There better be double hugs waiting for him after he comes back from fighting, that's the only motivation he needs. Well, that and probably a nap, considering he'll be out there fighting all night.

"I'll go now then. Take care over here."

Curufin was chuckling so hard that his shoulders were shaking. "I think you've just proved your superiority in the punning department, Glorfindel! Even Scrubby would agree, I'm sure. The sword of your wit is indomitable."

She doesn't mind the bluntness as much as it just surprises her - mostly because of the information that said bluntness contains. Isn't sensing everyone's emotions Raven's thing? It must be a little like always being able to see and then suddenly becoming blind..

"You can't..?"

Madoka is almost tempted to ask if she's sure, or to maybe ask Raven to sense her emotions right now, but as she bites her lower lip she realises the other girl would probably know better than her.

"That's so strange.. Has this ever happened to you before?"
