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.

"My thanks." His expression, still fierce, warmed at the agreement. "Look after each other."

Once they were clear, he would be able to use his blade again; he was confident. He turned back away from them both, trusting that they would continue to safety.

He chuckled. "It can wait till after. If you wand to fight with your foot touching mine, I can extend my shield to cover us both."

The need to PROTECT might be screaming through him at the moment.

That's a relief! If you'd happened to have some manner of internal bleeding, I wouldn't have been able to help you. I've never been much of a healer!

[ Don't... say that so cheerfully...

Then again, she's all full of bubbly, happy energy anyway. Maybe the fight knocked something loose in her head. ]


Wasn't that exciting?

"Yes. He is one of my roommates. And my friend." She hesitated for a moment before adding, "he is a kirin," though it would be likely to explain as little to Lan Wangji as it did to her when she arrived. The explanation of why he required special care and protection, though, would require revealing his vulnerabilities. If he hadn't shared that yet, it wasn't her place to share.

So she briskly changed topics to, "I hope there won't be too many injuries but it pays to be braced for the worst. Try not to add more to my workload."

Dyme scooted out of the way just in case, because a fireball was still intimidating even if it wasn't aimed at him. It still wasn't as intimidating as the monster itself was though, and Dyme stayed at least six feet away from it, even after it stopped moving. He didn't want to take any chances.

"I'm okay." He nodded. "Are you? That was really cool, I've never seen anything like that before."

WangJi nodded once in agreement. "If we should have to fight, I would hope that I might have the chance to learn from another or that they might be able to learn from me."

Always keep learning. It was one of the mottos of Gusu Lan and any situation was an opportunity to learn. Sometimes the situation of being able to use such information at that moment was a good way to remember it.

"I hope that my son has the chance as well."

He would protect Sizhui with his life if he was in danger, but first-hand experience was a good teacher.

[personal profile] achickenformylove 2020-05-23 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
WangJi just nodded. It did not mean anything to him, but he wouldn't ask for more information. He would take the fact that she was going with him to mean that he needed her assistance and that was all he needed to know. Additional information was not required unless there was a need for it.

"Mn. I hope there are not many casualties as well. I will try not to increase the work that you have to do."

Dairine didn't have to do that at all, which might be for the best.

Cause while she might be able to sneak in via the enemy's uniform, she wouldn't like it one bit.

Dairine gives her sister an annoyed stare. "That was a hypothetical, not a request. Geez, Neets!"

She grabs one of the suits and sizes it up.

"I can handle it myself."

"I guess," she concedes. But Dairine adds, "I'm not turning into a whale for this."

"...What do you mean completely?"

That phrasing was concerning.

Dairine nods and after a moment adds quietly. "I dunno if this is better or worse than what happened on Rashah. At least we could still talk to them, when wizardry wasn't working."

It had helped more than Dairine can say in keeping her on her feet.

Heading back into the train, they make their way to the rock garden. Zelda kneels down near the pond, looking around at the rocks.

"I think I might be able to enchant a pair of rocks," she tells Kaito as she looks for a suitable pair, "so they emit energy when they're struck. In the water, that would create ripples- so any nearby fish would be encouraged to leave the area."

Oh good, that was a relief. He'd been concerned he'd offend Bucky. Or that maybe he'd thought his arm looked great. "I mean, it's very...flesh colored, but." But beyond that, it was a little yikes. "Maybe you should ask one of the artists on board. I think there're artists, anyway." He was pretty sure, at least.
luckybucky: (A little happy)

[personal profile] luckybucky 2020-05-23 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Bucky sees the blue sash and approaches the relatively small figure in black, offering his hand to her. "Hey there, I'm Bucky. Looks like you'll be going with blue team for this mission, huh?" he asks.
luckybucky: (Damnit Steve)

[personal profile] luckybucky 2020-05-23 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Bucky has to do a double-take when he sees the wet suit vanish, a frown settling onto his lips. "If you're not going to use it, you can at least leave it for someone else," he points out.

She looked up, startled at someone talking to her out of nowhere like that. Oh, wait was he talking to Axel not her? She looked back at her tall friend, then at the new Somebody. He had to be talking to Axel, right? There was no reason to talk to her was there? She glanced down and saw the blue sash around her waist. Oh. Yeah. She looked back up at him and gave a small nod. If he had been talking to her that should be enough? Right? If not, if he had been talking to Axel or it wasn't enough, Axel would say something either way. Right? Maybe?

"I'm getting some more comfortable things made by her as well. I get so tired of wearing the same things in the same colors all the time. And not even particularly comfortable ones."

Which is why she's taken to wearing her pajamas as part of her outfit. It at least breaks up the orange with some nice light pink.

"What's a pinafore? Like a vest?"

[And here he'd just been considering broken ribs or something. Internal bleeding hadn't even crossed his mind. Still, he found himself laughing, if only because it was so bizarre to hear that said so cheerfully.]

I don't think I'd know if I had internal bleeding just yet, but uh, here's hoping I don't.

And actually? It really was. I never figured that fearing for my life would be so exciting.

"I can certainly look forward to some better clothing. And the Spider will give me those? All good things to know. I have a few fashion pieces I would like to get back." Not that Xue Yang cares that much about appearance but this overly comfy attire is not really his style.

...It can't be counted as the weirdest first meeting, but this sure was something odd. Tidus catches the small apology, offers back a shrug and the lift of a dismissive hand--a don't worry about it. The guy probably wasn't in the same hurry as him, despite shuffling off now to do whatever (not get in more trouble--Tidus could tell that), while Tidus...

"Yeah, it's a team game, six on each side--called blitzball," he explains to Ingis as he turns back to him, but as for the rest: "I can tell you about it another time if you're interested, but I meant it when I said I had someone I wanted to meet before we left. I don't know how long we have until then?"

And he didn't know if this was exactly the best time to get into it, before whenever the mission was supposed to happen. Unless they had the entire day and he was trying to hurry through this for no reason.

Then, whoops?

Yugi figured that well there must be a way for a spider to be able to swim, the train seems to think it might be possible, but Yugi wasn't exactly known for swimming under the water.

But it was the same for above, right? Being careful Yugi looked over at the spider.

"Okay, so when you slowly go under, just start kicking your legs... Or at least all but the two at the front... Hopefully it will help you with swimming."

[Rapunzel soon moved to get off and swim over to the closest one to check.]

Yep, still breathing at least. So we know they are just asleep.

Curufin laughed too.

"The rule of four? Take the rule of three, give it a plus one, and there you have it! And oh yes, I do like those esoteric songs. I believe that a true poet must find his or her own style partly by investigating the work of others, and the more that is available, the better. Even if one finds it in other worlds and times."
