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 slightly "I wouldn't say exactly, but it's pretty close."

He knew the differences, but he knew it was best to not disclose certain aspects of the negative side of being born with it.

"But with this mission I am sure we can figure out the best way to use what we have to help each other"

Tangle nodded. "I'll keep an eye out for you! But maybe we could do some training after the mission is over, too? That'd probably go better in a situation we can control, and stuff."

All Ignis has to do is say the magical h-word (help, it's help) and Madoka is instantly up for anything. Of course she'll encourage everyone to stick together with someone else if that's what helps! She loves to help! So she smiles again with a nod.

The question, though, takes a bit more consideration. She's actually not quite sure what Ple Two likes to eat, it's just never come up before.. Maybe she should sneakily ask the girl at some point?

"Well.. After this mission, we're probably going to end up with a whole lot of seafood, huh." She luckily didn't witness any of it herself, but she did hear other people brought along meat from their last mission. And there sure is a whole lot of (aggressive) sealife here.

"Fighting, of course."

That, at the very least, is easy enough to say. Especially to Curufin of all people, who has made it plenty obvious before that he would rather be out there fighting rather than solving puzzles or anything of the sort too. It makes it so Inigo knows the other would understand.

"Just.. not in the water. I don't know how I'm going to fight anything in there if I won't even be able to move down there."
flatteries: (i just started to deserve it)

The kiss may be light and brief, but that doesn't seem to bother Inigo. He smiles all the same when he pulls his head back a little, but it's exactly when he's looking at Yuki that he seems to realise something is up. Sure, the other is smiling, but it somehow feels like there's something awkward here. Inigo can't quite place it though - and it makes him wonder if maybe it's something about him. Did he say or do something wrong? Either of those two options happens so often that he's quick to assume that must be it.

But if that's the case, he has no idea what he did wrong. And Yuki's hands are still on his collar like that too...

".. Yuki?" Concern creeps into his voice. "Hey, what's wrong? Tell me."

Maybe it's nothing. Maybe he's just reading too deep into things, or maybe the worry about the whole swimming deal is just making him more paranoid than usually. But he has to ask, just in case. He can't let his boyfriend deal by himself with anything worth worrying about, after all.

Mister Stark, huh. Alice may not have met Tony yet, but she's sure heard that name around the train enough. Sounds like a bit of a control freak, huh? Although she does have to admit he has a bit of a point. Throwing kids who can't swim right into the water is just a bad idea. Even Alice knows that.

"It sounds like most teams will have to deal with swimming to some degree though. Unless you plan on going with the blue team instead. I think it said something about patrolling beaches for them?"

Good thing she couldn't read minds, or she'd have gotten over it much faster in lieu of stalking off. As it was, she just nodded quickly.

"Bodhum was a beach town. Everyone swam." If she could just get the conversation to turn around and be about him... "What about you?"

"Tidus!" He points a quick thumb to himself in his introduction. "Watch out if you're in the waters too late. Blue's mission said something about monsters coming out. Around the island, anyway."

Which...still hoping for the best for the city.

"More or less. I've never been in a battle where I didn't have to adjust for the changing situations, though." Here or in her past. "...so it's best to be adaptable."

There's little chance Drizzt won't learn more, with the sheer variety of worlds this train visits!

Nita lets go of the bracelet, making a 'sort of' gesture with one hand.

"Not of a deity, but... I'm a wizard. I store some of my pre-set spells this way."

Curufn smiles. "It would be good to take on the warrior's role, I agree."

He certainly does understand! He'd rather fight than do anything else, but he doesn't really have the option of leaving Orange Team this time.

"So, are you going with Blue Team?"
so_dark_a_road: (hail and farewell)

ROTFL that!

Curufin nodded and tagged along with her until she had found a bed to sleep in.

He sat down on the floor beside her, deciding to use the time to think about the design problems of the small generator he'd like to build. Nothing else to do.

Najaran fell asleep holding onto the bed frame, but apparently her hand lost it's grip as she lost consciousness.

Curufin stood up and reached for her hand in order to tug her back down onto the bed. . .
so_dark_a_road: (many secrets of craft)

Oh, because they're intelligent beings? Too bad! XD

"The Scelties can fight? I didn't know that! I thought they just herded sheep and their owners. And demanded bedtime stories." Snort of laughter.

"It isn't, not by itself. That's why we have to work hard to make it fun for each other, kiddo. I mean, this is grisly miserable work, and if you stop too long to think about it, you could be paralyzed. BUT, you have someone like me in the mix who is an utter goofball..."

He raised a hand and the monster sneaking up behind him raised into the air, spun around several times, then was flung back out to sea, "you can't help but laugh. Right?" He asked with a grin, his blue eyes twinkling.
najaran: (On back pain)

She'd bob in the water at the end of the tether that was his arm, as much passed out as asleep.

yep. The ones who are Kindred and thus fun, anyway.

He laughed. "Underestimate them at your own peril. Some of them especially can be fierce when their flocks need to be protected. If you've a stomach for it, remind me sometime to tell you what Darkmist did to the ****** that tried to kidnap his little brother. Half that trick I'm trying to learn, the other half, well, none of us want to be sober when we thing of who must have taught it to him."
happyends: (going through this city)

yes! c:

[personal profile] happyends 2020-05-21 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thank you."

It's true, there probably is very little that's capable of that. But just knowing that there's at least one person (and probably multiple, because in Madoka's mind it's clearly impossible to dislike her dad) watching his back makes her feel relieved and glad all the same as she smiles.

"I'll make sure to check up on you!" Except then they'll stop working.. Clearly they jinxed the whole mission in advance. "Good luck out there."
luckybucky: (A little happy)

[personal profile] luckybucky 2020-05-21 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Assuming they're smart enough to actually do that," he agrees with a snort. Bucky may not know everyone on the train, but he knows enough about people to realize there are probably more than a few reckless idiots among them. Including himself, but that's not the point.

"Good thing I've got that super soldier stamina," he agrees with a grin, and just a hint of a blush. He knows how that sounds, and silently hopes Tony hasn't managed to overhear.

...

This is starting to be too much brain power for Tidus, who quickly gives up making sense of any of it with one final aggravated sigh.

"Whatever, I'll ask around! No problem." Someone was bound to know, and he didn't want to think about this council....whatever. He lifts a hand in a wave. "I'll be back later."

Not that there's anything to say they'll see each other or need to, but simply parting words before Tidus leaves.

"Is that how it's supposed to work?" Roxas wasn't sure, then again he wasn't in the habit of blowing up monsters, just hitting them until they vanished.
heartismyown: (Default)

[personal profile] heartismyown 2020-05-21 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"I guess that's true." Roxas mused thoughtfully. "I'm good with the fighting off monsters part, but I don't know what normal people do to prepare for them." He admitted.
luckybucky: (A little happy)

[personal profile] luckybucky 2020-05-21 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Bucky notices the weak grip -- it's impossible not to, but he doesn't say anything. He does make sure his shake is nice and gentle, though, just in case. "Nice to meet you, Maru. I'm one of the blue team's leaders, so if you need anything you can come to me." He offers a smile that comes easier and easier these days. "You warm enough?"
luckybucky: (A little happy)

[personal profile] luckybucky 2020-05-21 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Bucky looks up when Yuki spoke, and offers an easy smile. "Yeah, probably always from now on," he agrees. "Ignis asked me to help lead the blue team. What about you? Don't know how to swim or are you just sticking close to Inigo?"
sobothersome: (pic#13910944)

[personal profile] sobothersome 2020-05-21 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"One of...? How many do they need?" Maru honestly had no idea about... well... any of it. He just went along with things. It was easier that way. If he didn't have to make any choices for himself life was much easier. Luckily Madoka was happy to lead him where he needed to go. She was his source of information. But he didn't remember being told about this guy.

Maru took his hand back and looked toward the fire. "Thanks, but I'm alright. I'm warm enough." The fire was good for that.
luckybucky: (You think you're real clever huh?)

[personal profile] luckybucky 2020-05-21 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
The blunt assessment gets an almost startled laugh from Bucky. "Do you ever pull your punches?" he teases, looking down at the painted arm and flexing his fingers a few times as he shakes his head. "I was hoping I'd be able to make it look more... natural." Instead it just looks stupid, even he can recognize that, but he doesn't have the time to repaint it before the mission.
