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.

Don't worry, Lightning, he's done teasing you. Edge had a decent sense of her limits, and was willing to push them but not trample them. "Eblan isn't terribly far from the sea, and we had a strong outpost in the Cave of Eblan, which was basically bordering it. So I'm good."

"All right. If that's what you think best."

She nods.

"If you change your mind, though, now or later... come find me. I might have a few ideas."

Inigo nods. There's a slight surprise at the seashells part, but Ignis seems like a smart guy. He probably knows what he's doing. The seafood part does make total sense though. It'll be nice to have something that isn't the current bacon overload on the train...

"I will. And I'll make sure to tell anyone we spot." Talking to people is - or so he likes to pretend on a surface level, anyway - Inigo's speciality, after all. This is something he can do! "I should probably get to work then, huh?"

"I don't think there would be a lot of people who don't like you."

Yes, that's her indirectly admitting that Allen is a likeable guy. Don't read too much into it! She's not intending on the fact that she's giving a compliment here to be the main focus of what she's saying, okay.

"Only people who dislike people in general, most likely."

"Yep. Leave the skin and eyes intact, blow the brain and bone." Teenaged boy, he figured this kid would find that cool. Shame he didn't have one of Tersa's bug in a boxes for the kid.

"It is a good skill to know, even if you live somewhere landlocked. It has served many well." He didn't swim for any sort of sport, but it was not something unfamiliar to him.

"I hope that this goes well with as few problems as possible." He had enough control over his own abilities, but with so many people, there might be issues with people getting too close.

"Nice to meet you, Tidus." He smiled. "Thank you for the warning. I'll be aware of that. Especially out in the water. It is much harder to fight in that environment."

It didn't bode well, but one could always hope that the city had someway to keep them out.

That question seems less easy to answer for him. He hesitates, worry obvious in his eyes as he looks at Curufin before he quickly tries to mask it with a smile. It's just a moment too late though.

"I don't know. I've gone with the purple team each time until now. It always just felt like the right thing to do." Even right now he feels like the mission summary for the purple team suits him. Except for the underwater part, obviously. "I've never even considered going along with a different team. I don't even know if they'd mind having me around."

"Mhmm. That's interesting. I've literally never played chess myself, though," he said. "It's always seemed too complicated." And involving a lot more strategy and planning ahead than he was probably capable of--or maybe he was just being too hard on himself.

"I think they wanted to study it." A shrug. "And to see whether it could be done. I know they worked on it for twenty years."

And now he shifts awkwardly. "Uh, they're kind of ghost hunters? And ghost scientists who spend all their time inventing weapons that can hurt ghosts?"

It's not a feature Zelda generally needs to use, but as her usual knack for sensing time is among the things this planet currently seems to be suppressing she needs that timer as well.

"There," she nods when it is set. "I'll see you soon."

It makes Dair feel a little better that Neets sounds annoyed by this too.

"There's a big leap between trying things out and whale time, Neets."

"Yeah, I know," she snaps back. Dairine pauses at Nita's question, her tone softening a little.

"Transit between points on the train worked. Shield seems OK... and I've checked my backlog of offensive spells and they're still active." She goes quiet a moment. "Spot's not talking. At all."

Prompto started to offer a sheepish laugh at Tidus' comment, but then flushed at Ignis saying his name. Crap! He was in trouble! Lowering his head, he mumbled an apology back to the taller man and returned to adding supplies to the bags of first aid kits. He glanced at Tidus briefly and said quietly, "Sorry."

He peeked back at Tidus when Ignis commented about the activity being a sport to see if that was an accurate description or not. However, he didn't add any of his own commentary this time.

He tips his head curiously.

"Oh? What sort of ideas?"

Joss just shrugs. “No, and I can’t imagine why I’d start doing it now. Your arm looked fine, badass, even, the way it was before.”

He holds the tiny wetsuit up to himself and looks in the mirror, wondering how he’ll ever get it to fit.

“Have you ever worn one of these things before?”

"Well," she thinks,

"If you can't stand to be near fish, you need a method to make them avoid you. And that... may be possible, I think."

Kaito does a full body TWITCH at the word but looks interested.

"How far away can you keep them? Coz it's... I freak when I look at them..."

"That will work then." Ignis agreed amicably. There really wasn't too much more he could say, Inigo knew the mission, knew what he had to do and knew to collect seashells and seafood. That was more than enough work, but then that was how the Blue team did things. The other teams might have the more dangerous missions but bringing home food for the train was always a good thing.

"The sooner the better." And there was a soft look. "Take care and if you need help, make Bucky Raven or myself aware unless there's another Blue to assist you."

Even if Inigo wasn't a Blue team member he was for this mission, which meant he was family.

"Not at all?"

Well, that probably eliminates anything based on Nayru's Love. Still...

"Would you come with me to the rock garden for a moment? I have an idea."

"I think so!" He grinned, "I wonder how it makes you breathe underwater? Like a fish!" Fish could breathe underwater but not people.

Romeo nodded, "Let's hope not!"

But if he did he was sure they could defeat it together!

"Badniks! They must be bad they even got bad in the name!"

An entire army! Even with help she must be very strong! And very very brave.

"It... kinda depends? Like... if I don't... really look too closely... I can kinda... ignore it. A bit. But in my face... no go."

He nods, scrambling to his feet.

"Sure!"
