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.

They may not share a language right now, but Kumoko will probably recognise the static-distorted b̕i̷ŗd̵cal̢l coming from above her- a universal animal excitement of -͞-҉͝ ̀̕[҉̷͘̕͡OWO IS THAT FOOD? ]̴̴̨́ ̴̸͏̴̀-̶̡͏-͏̛. Then SXT-2 is going to try to pick the spider up.

It's definitely not going to work. But she has a species penalty to making intelligent decisions.

"I do be being on red team." She looked at him suspiciously. He was always kind to her but she was unsure how loyal he was to Tony. He might rat her out.

"I would no be being on red team if I could no be doing the missions." Surely that was how it would work. Challenging the missions might be, but there would be no point in setting them up to fail.

And she hadn't failed yet, even when the missions had been difficult. She was angry that even now Tony doubted her.

"If they were poisoned then I could help there, or we could at least try. If it doesn't work that's one option down."

She swam over to the closest one before looking overlooking more for the go-ahead to at least attempt it. She was grateful she could actually manage to have some of her hair out as she does need to use it.

"I didn't think that at all... I didn't actually know, so I was asking to clarify."

It is. Better breathing than not at all. But as for moving...

[She paused for a moment, trying to decide what the best idea actually would be.]

Do you think we could make it worse by moving them?
knifewithnoname: (serious)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2020-05-24 11:13 am (UTC)(link)
She nodded, taking in the words with a serious expression. She would have to be very cautious, swimming and fighting at the same time. She would just have to figure it out and not get distracted.

"Will you be going with the purple team?"

She thought she would, it sounded like they would be fighting too and Alice would be a good fighter.

[ The pinched line of her mouth puckers a little, as she starts chewing on the inside of her lip in what's transparently a bit of a nervous tick. ]

And... how large does it have to be, exactly?

[personal profile] draconite 2020-05-24 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ You thought she was beaming before? Think again. Now she's all but preening. ]

Oh, you don't have to thank me! I just enjoy a good fight, that's all. I take it you haven't done very much of it yourself?

What part of don't read too much into it is so hard to understand, Allen! You're not supposed to point out what's implied by her words! Because while the answer to that question is actually relatively simple, there's no way Alice can just say that. It's so obvious too, because the moment he says that, surprise flashes across her face, followed by very momentary awkwardness that she quickly tries to shove back and away under her permanent resting grumpface.

"Did I say anything of the sort?" Humph!! Alice is just going to pretend to be really busy with looking around them for a moment. "I tolerate you enough to talk to you. Can't you figure out the rest by yourself?"

In other words, yes, Allen, she likes you. Even with all your flaws. That's why she keeps fussing over you to begin with! It's just that she might die if she has to spell it out more clearly than this.

No! Actually he hasn't. And she's super flattered, but she's also a spider. A spider in flippers and a wetsuit that she's gonna have to cut off her own body like peeling a lychee.

She pats him again. He's a very attractive book, too! Very well-bound.

Let's go diving, Casanova!

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-05-24 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Nita nods.

"Still, we'll probably all be fighting monsters no matter what team we go with."

That's not even a prediction; both the island and its undersea counterpart seem to be having a bad time for these past two weeks.

[Nita sighed.]

/I'd do a scan, but that whole kind of magic feels completely blocked from me right now./

[It was... extremely disquieting, to put it politely.]

/See if touching them disturbs them, first. Last thing we want to do is cause more injury./

"That's fine. if I get hurt I will just find a safe area." Which she figured would be easy enough if that was to happen, but Minako knew she was going to try her hardest to not let that happen.

She managed to deal with another crab before taking a few steps back. "Question. How many crabs do you think are close to us right now?"

Prompto hadn't really 'gone' anywhere. He'd turned back to the packing that was on the kitchen counter top he was sitting on. However, he might as well have moved away given the way his body language had gone from open and engaging in their conversation to subdued and visibly contrite.

As he finished his snack, he peeked up again at Tidus. Hearing what the other had been referring to was actually a game made it all the more interesting. He had no idea how someone held their breath that long, but decided it was best not to ask. He didn't want to irritate Iggy further.

If the other blonde leaves after Ignis' comment, he'll risk a friendly, low-key wave.

Nice to meet you too, Bryn!

[Prompto was smiling as she introduced herself and then it started to waver into confusion as she just.. kept shaking his hand? Uhhh... Iggy? He looks at the advisor for advice but he couldn't actually ask it in front of the girl. Just how does one politely get their hand back? Was it gone for good? RIP Prompto's hand! HELP!]

Y- yeah uh.. yeah, we should uh..

[What was happening?]

Iggy might skin him alive if he found out Madoka was a living blood bag and didn't stop it. Fortunately, he didn't think that was going on. If she said he didn't do that, then Prompto believed her.

He waited a moment with his hand out with the candy in it and noticed Madoka staring at them. He gave her a smile. "You too! I have more. I bought a whole bag of them." He made sure Madoka got two and Maru got another piece before he was done dishing out treats. He took the last piece and ate it himself. "So,.. can I ask you something?" He looked at Maru curiously. "If you're both a cat and a guy, do you prefer being one or the other? Is it weird if people pet you?"

Prompto snickered and kissed him again, still not letting go of the king. His lips vibrated as he had them pressed against Noct's as he giggled. Drawing back, he laughed aloud. "You said to follow my gut! My gut was telling me that you looked too cute not to kiss."

He grinned, visibly pleased with his own conclusion. It faded slightly as he thought that through some more. "Or maybe it was another organ."

And that could be taken wrong, which had him blushing and sputtering a little. "My heart! The organ being my heart.. not.. well, I mean.. another organ- is that an organ?"

He took a quick spin. "Looks like a little under a half dozen," he said, then cleaved one in half and flung it away with his magic. "Maybe a little more than a little under."

He'd already popped one of the sweets in his mouth, though the second one was given to Madoka because he was a kitty with little kitty paws and holding them was not the easiest thing.

Maru cocked his head a little when the guy asked about a question, and then went and asked it before he could say anything. Then he shrugged. "... Being a cat is easier." He spoke around the sweet in his mouth. "I don't mind people petting me." Though it was still odd when those same people felt the need to pet him even when he was human. Madoka had taken to doing it. Shiny Guy as well.

"Yes." He nodded to both questions, "We have been here almost two months... I think..." Gone for a small part of that and time was hard to keep track of. But it had been Domino, then Egret and now Fiddlesticks.

"Yes I think protecting others is the main task of this team."
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-24 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes." He nodded, though his voice was still worried. It wasn't that he doubted his king, he was a warrior after all and perfectly capable of fighting however much Taiki hated to think about it.

"He's very strong."

"Oh I met miss Whisper!" Romeo grinned at her, "She saved me from a bad crab!"

He was glad that they were friends, because they were both really brave!

"Yes. I've traveled underwater before, so that journey it spoke of shouldn't be anything too difficult." She says it as if she's just going to take a stroll through the park. Like she's not about to probably fight off whole hordes of.. whatever may be waiting down there. "I just hope these.. 'spiritual leaders' won't be too annoying."

Monsters? Alice can deal with that, sure. People? No way. Please no. People are the worst.

Inigo lets out a slow breath, a smile starting to return to his face at seeing Bucky flexing his 'upgraded' arm like that.

"They got the sergeant in charge, huh? So scary." Except Bucky is about as scary as a very cuddly dog to Inigo. And that's coming from someone who saw him in full Winter Soldier mode.

"Well, I guess I'll come along too then. I do feel most comfortable being near you."
flatteries: (a rhythm for the songs)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-24 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. I know you're right."

About it not being the best thing for him, he means. His insecurity won't let him believe the last part as easily, but he'd like to seem like he does believe anyone would be glad to have him, so he's fine with just making it sound like he's agreeing to all of that instead of just part of it.

"I guess I should just listen to the almighty Curufin and go along with the blue team instead of fussing so much about it, huh?"

Of all the things Yuki could have said, this wasn't what Inigo was expecting. At all. In some ways it's better than what he expected - because that at least doesn't sound like a serious problem, thank Naga - but it does manage to instantly make his cheeks colour a bright pink.

"A.. Ah, well.." He stammers, clearly slightly flustered, but not looking upset in the slightest. The hardest part is that Yuki is asking to talk about something else, and Inigo wants nothing more than to grant his boyfriend's every request in an attempt to keep him as satisfied as possible. But on the other hand, it also feels wrong to not talk about it. Inigo clearly looks conflicted for a moment or two, trying to weigh the evils of two decisions before speaking up again.

"I-I.. don't mind that if it's you.. you know." He speaks slowly, but only since he's worried about hurting Yuki by continuing to talk about the subject if the other really doesn't want to. "U-Unless you do mind..?"
