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.

Honestly, she's never heard of anything like it. Maybe it was a fashion at Olympus before she was born? Certainly nothing she's seen mortals wear.

"Oh--just a basic outfit. Skirt, a comfy shirt that does not have a collar. I like dresses but then I can mix and match with those. And my friend is not here to judge my fashion sense."

"You're so selfless. It's a lot to give up the little freedoms."

She hasn't really forgotten what Rapunzel talked about on the video. It's the little things that are sometimes the most important. Wearing what you want, styling your hair, going where you please.

"Perhaps they don't have a power that is that specific? It could only put everyone to sleep in an area rather than pick and choose."

As for the other question, she perks up. Right, she hadn't thought to test that at all. Could come in handy.

"Let's see!" She swims down to the ocean floor and touches it. Around her, seaweeds of various types sprout up from the floor, spreading out from her point of contact.

He nodded slightly. They didn't know what will, but he could take a slight guess at any possibility.

"Well considering its water-related world we seem to be on, maybe what will attack us will be water-related too?" It seemed logical that this would be the case, but didn't give any idea of what exact water-creatures would ve a thing.

"Yeah, no surprises there." She glanced around, noting the slow trickle of people heading down to the end of the train. "I'll wait for you out here? It was a bit... crowded, when I was there."
draconite: (eager | did you?)

Ah, I've never learned guitar, but I do play piano, too! How fortunate!

[ Still holding onto his hands, Bryn gets All Up in his personal space, her eye blazing with intensity. ]

You should come compose with me! We're planning on putting on performances on the train and we need musicians like you!

"I can imagine." Normally not a problem for Edge, but less than ideal when his relations with most people on the train were what they were. Oh well! "Wait for me, my dear, I'll not be long."

He flashed her a wink as he moved for the dressing car.

So we'll explore and see where there would be good places. I can do that.

[She swam away from the ones that were asleep for the moment before she started to swim off, going around to see if she could find the best spot possible.]

Though what if we cannot find an area for every single one?

"I just think of what's best for our situation." And having healing powers like hers was in her mind the best idea.

Yes there were somethings that was annoying about how long her hair was, but she had lived with it for so long, she could do it for just a little bit longer, roight?

"I might, but... Should I just try on the person here or is there anyone who looks more like there is something wrong?" Just in case there was a case of various different stages. So the young blonde went off swimming around, checking each and every person. It didn't seem to be the case.

"Okay, so they all don't seem to show any signs. But it does make me wonder what could possibly cause the same problem to everyone."

He reaches for it and passes it over, watching curiously.

"This one?"

Tony frowned, hearing her tone. "Of course, I want you to go with me. I always want you with me. You're my number one girl!"

He gave her a smile, hoping she'd understand what he was saying here. "But if you need to stay with Peter so he can teach you how to swim- and yes he knows- I wouldn't hold that against you in any way. You've already proven yourself a number of times to me. I already know you're strong."

/That might not be a problem, given this is their city and all./

Though if they had a population problem, now would be a terrible time to find out.

/We'll find something to cover them with if we can't see to their safety otherwise, though./

"Nice to meet you, Duo! I'm Sven." Without breaking stride, Sven offered out a hand for Duo to shake, smiling wide.

"That's right! I may be Red, but I'm about as green as anyone." Geddit? Colour joke. "But I've some prior experience with the whole travelling to places and solving problems shtick, so hopefully I won't slow you guys up and can actually be of some help."

He hoped! He wasn't feeling out of his depth yet--in fact, he was feeling downright good just being off the train and tentatively optimistic about their mission. But still, it wouldn't do him any good to let himself get too cocky, not on his first time on a world different to his own.

"Since I'm new and still getting a hang of the ropes and all: what made you decide to switch to our team for the mission?"

Misa watches her fumble with her hair and then smiles when the other girl asks. "Since I was six. Turn around, I'll get it put back for you."

She stands on a trunk, and begins putting the other girl's hair back. Of course, it can't be a simple braid. That just wouldn't do. So, Misa does a braid down each side of her head, that flows into a much larger braid at the back of the girl's head. That should hold the hair out of her face and keep it safe from anything that tries to grab it.

"There you are!" Misa says, tying off the end of the braid. "That will hold it back much better than a simple braid."

"I'll be okay, it just means that I have to think differently in some ways." Raven's voice was firm, determined. This would be hard, but she could deal with it. "We have a job to do anyways."

Then more softly, because Madoka was her friend. "I'll let you know if I need help. Promise."
azrthmtrnznthos: (blah)

"I...can't access some of my powers." Raven murmured quietly. "My Empathy mostly, but I also can't seem to levitate. It means I can't heal the way I normally would." Because Ignis was also one of the primary healers. He'd need the information.

"I can work around a lot of it, and my dark-energy doesn't seem affected overall."
azrthmtrnznthos: (blah)

[personal profile] azrthmtrnznthos 2020-05-28 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
A video tutorial or an instruction manual at the least.

"It seems to work. Which team are you going with?" Because Raven wasn't going with purple this time.
faithfulsupport: (Are you quite sure?)

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2020-05-28 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
This news was troubling and puzzling at the same time, but whenever Raven spoke, Ignis knew he needed to listen. "Don't worry about healing, we've more than enough to take care of what will be required." Even if he had to overwork himself, he would make damn sure that she was alright and safe.

Her dark energy could be a formidable thing in and of itself but at least not all of her powers had been stripped. This was a curious thing but also very bad news because obviously they didn't know how badly all of this would play out when they hit the ground.

"If you need help, you know Bucky is the other team leader for this mission." And every other one but he wasn't sure if the winter soldier understood that yet or not.

[He resisted the knee jerk reaction to back away, but couldn't stop himself from leaning back just a little.]

Oh, that's cool. And yeah, uh. That'd be nice. I think I heard something about that, maybe?

[If he was thinking about the same thing, at least.]

She honestly wasn't sure how much help she would be exactly all things considering. But she knew she was at least going to try her hardest.

So she now focused on what was close to her, dealing with them the best way as possible until she figured the numbers were going down.

"okay, I will be head off. I am sure we will meet again."

"Please stay safe so that we can," he said, executing a small bow.

She laughs, as she thinks she's supposed to do. "You look very handsome. I'm sure your boyfriend thinks so too." She teases him gently.

"But, if you can't swim, can you cook?"

"That's comforting!" said Curufin, still laughing. He returned the bow, and then he grinned at the shoulder clap. "Who was this circus clown you knew? I wonder if he knew that someday he'd be considered to look even sillier than an Elvish clown?"

Yes, superheroes in wetsuits! Curufin hadn't seen many comics, none in his world, and only a few in the other two he'd lived in before the Voidtrecker. But he got the comparison. "I guess we don't have to feel like superheroes, just act like them when we're in the middle of the battle." Still grinning. "Fake it till you make it!"
