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.

"Maybe some other time," Lea said. "I think we're still flying right now, so that might not be the safest thing to do, even if you can fly too." The guy didn't have wings or anything that Lea could see, but that didn't necessarily preclude flight.

"Well, airwalking, but close enough," he said with a laugh.

Ignis had to laugh but he imagined that there would be some pretty well intentioned people trying to 'help' that couldn't swim. He himself could swim, so he would go rescue folks if they literally got in over their head. He just silently hoped there was no fight involved should those circumstances appear. And the advisor would try to save every one of the reckless idiots, even should they be a Blue team leader.

With the next set of words the advisor blinked. The grin and blush..no. No the handsome man in front of him was so not flirting with him. No. So he fought to give himself a moment to think and pushed his glasses up over his nose.

If Tony overheard the comment, Ignis would take the blame for it. So he put his business face on though there was a small smile and a curled fist gently tapped Bucky on the shoulder. "I'm sure that will come in handy at some point someday."

Lea nodded. "Yep," he said. "And that's generally my policy too. Not that I'm opposed to stretching beyond my comfort zone a bit, but when it comes to something like fire and water... yeah, we all know what the result would be there."

He frowned a bit at the news of the last mission as well. "I take it that's unusual around here?"

"I do be thanking you." She took the bag and put the flippers inside it whilst pulling a face.

"No. Mister Stark says I should be staying on the train."

Which was not acceptable. She had to be on the train all the rest of the time, she had never failed a mission. It was stupid.

Helmet on, making sure the tubes are connected one last time she turned to grin and him and then trying to look much more confident than she felt she stepped into the rockpool.

The water was cold and came up to her shoulders. She stood there a bit awkwardly, waiting for something to happen.
knifewithnoname: (that sounds unpleasent)

"I will be going with red." She pulled a face, "I can be learning quick, I do no be being a baby."

Frankly having grown up by the sea it was ridiculous her guardians hadn't taught her to swim. If she drowns in a far away world it is all stupid face Taiwin's fault. He was meant to make sure she was ready to complete missions.

As cool as Lea's fire and chakrams were, what he'd had to go through to get them was very much not worth it. But that was neither here nor there.

Whether the creature understood the taunt or not someone kicking sand at it's still functional eye definitely caught its attention, and it lurched awkwardly in Dyme's direction, still snarling. Lea took the opportunity to dismiss his chakrams and instead summon up a large fireball, which he launched at the monster's blind side. The fireball struck home and the creature let out another roar of pain. But this time the sound faded out as the creature's legs buckled and it collapsed in the sand, one side a scorched and burned mess. It twitched for a moment, its breathing labored, but soon it lay still. It clearly wasn't getting up again.

Lea approached cautiously anyway, just to be sure, seemingly a bit out of breath himself. "You alright?", he asked Dyme.

Madoka was adorable when she smiled and Ignis mentally took a picture whenever he saw it. He saw the smile change to something more thoughtful and looked at her curiously. Obviously the wheels were turning in his daughter's head and he remained silently waiting.

There was a nod at the guess about seafood being plentiful. "Yes quite. We always bring home quite a bit of food that we keep in the freezers returning back from our missions. The seashell gathering won't be an issue due to giving those to your Dad. But the seafood will be quite well stocked indeed." Ignis paused. "Should she be allergic to any ingredients, simply let me know ahead of time."

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2020-05-22 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Lea nodded his understanding. "Yeah, I can see that now," he said both to Drizzt and his feline friend. "Sorry. I'll make sure to tell my friends too, just so there's no misunderstandings later on." Because with Heartless it was generally good policy to attack first and ask questions later, and that could make things go very bad very quickly.

"Anyway, it's nice meeting you, Guenhwyvar." His pronunciation of her name was a bit uncertain, but it was a pretty solid attempt for someone unfamiliar with it. And he honestly wasn't sure whether she could talk, or how much she could understand, but he figured it best to be polite. "Can't say I've ever met anyone from the astral plane before."

Hey, it wasn't Lea's fault that his default Keyblade was so awesome. It just kind of turned out that way. And it was certainly serving him well enough now as he slashed away at the monster's tentacles.

The moment Xion's spell hit, though the creature's flailing turned into a brief but violent convulsion accompanied by a gurgling cry of pain. The Thundaga had definitely found its mark, though the creature didn't seem to be finished yet. Now angry and in pain, it stepped up its efforts to lash Lea with tentacles while at the same time sending a few snaking down to try and locate the source of the noise that had hurt it.

"Don't think he liked that very much," Lea said slashing at the angry tentacles, but he didn't have time for more banter as he fended off the monster's flailing limbs.

ROFLOL. I love writing with you.

God thing her Keyblade was useful for more that just magic. She thrust it up at the underbelly of the thing with all her might. And then, you know, for good measure... "FIRAGA!" Couldn't hurt, right? And maybe this one would drop munny and healballs, unlike the Eagulls.

"Sometimes I wonder if I could," Glorfindel confessed, "But whenever I try, my friends glare at me and make me rest. It has also been pointed out to me that the more you do...the more you find to do...the more you try to do...the less the stuff that actually gets done." He sighed. "I have had to find a happy median with them."

Lea took care of the last remaining crabs in their immediate area with more direct strikes from his chakrams. He then dismissed them for the time being to avoid further drain on his somewhat flagging resources as he looked around for stragglers or people on other nearby parts of the beach who might need assistance.

"Apparently," he said. "And I'll be glad to, assuming I'm still awake by then. Which given how draining using my Keyblade and chakrams is here, might be assuming a lot."
laurefindil: (Look over there!)

[personal profile] laurefindil 2020-05-22 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Glorfindel nodded, in complete agreement.

"Same here." He looked around at the others on the Team. "We do have some strong fighters though, many with a lot of experience. Perhaps we will learn more about one another while we are here and grow closer as well?"

"I see." Yuki replied thoughtfully. It made sense, the two seemed like they were friends so it would be natural for Bucky to have been chosen to lead. He shook his head at the next question. "I can swim but I'll be sticking with Inigo."

Because that one couldn't swim.
hotheadwarmheart: (Ready position)

Thanks, same here!

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2020-05-22 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
The effects of the combination of the stabbing and Firaga were immediate and violent. The creature gave another gurgling roar of pain, but this time instead of convulsing, it went limp, twitching weakly but otherwise still. It clearly wasn't getting up again.

Unfortunately, it didn't drop any items or munny. But that was less of an immediate concern than one might expect because what did end up dropping was the weight of its heavy, slippery tentacle onto its two opponents, necessitating their wriggling their way out of the tangle of somewhat charred squid monster before they did anything else.
areasontohope: (Well huh (r))

[personal profile] areasontohope 2020-05-22 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
At the concern in the other's tone, Yuki's hands immediately let go of the collar. He didn't want to lie to Inigo and he didn't want to pressure him either. But his face twists in uncertainty and he isn't sure what to say. "It's nothing, everything's fine." And somehow he figured that wouldn't be explanation enough but it was what came to mind.

How could he say what was on his mind without coming off as being pressuring? That was the last thing he wanted to do. It was meant as a joke..sort of and now he was trying not to crack. Maybe he should just get up and walk away, but that would worry Inigo further.

He was trapped in a web of his own making.

Okay even dealing with the Eagulls, sometimes she forgets that some monsters don't just vanish, okay? That's one thing she hasn't quite gotten memorized yet. She... might need some help. "Axel..." she managed to get her face clear long enough to say before her arms, tryin to push the thing off her, proved to not be up to the task. This part was... less fun than fighting the thing had been. And that hadn't exactly been ice cream at sunset.

"It's not, I mean you are falling asleep easily." She seemed better under the water but was it really safe and a good idea to actually let them sleep underwater? Would she just end up like the others? They really had no way of knowing.

Yet when she tried to get the other up the way they were acting was terrifying as well... Like she was dying. The only option really was to let her sleep at the bottom and hope for the best. Maybe when asleep it would be easier to get them up as well.

So Rapunzel started to take her back down towards the place once again. if the other was going to fall asleep, might as well let them.

By the time Rapunzel got Najaran back down, the other girl was already passed out inside her suit. The back and forth was not good for her without the SCA, and honestly she's already been pushing herself too hard. She can only take so much, physically...

[Rapunzel was keeping an eye out for before pausing.]

Oh, I think I do. Though there is not like a lot of them. Maybe five or six I can see.

"I guess it is, but it's either keep it growing and use it's power or cut it and lose it and I guess before I would have been somewhat willing to cut it. Seeing how it could be useful is the only reason I don't right now." Not really knowing that the power was technically within her rather than just her hair.

"I will be happy to sing it when we have to go back up. But we're pretty much at the bottom at this point, so it's not needed."

She swam to look around, a small frown soon passing by the lips "I have to wonder just what happened here." She added before looking over "As for the mermaid comment... Is that meant to be one of those compliment things?"
