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.

Trowa laughed softly and shook his head. "Hair that long is a liability in the circus." He would end up hurting himself with hit, he was sure.

It's always precious to him to see that smile and he loves the fact that Madoka is leaning into him after it. But he looks in surprise to Madoka that she's saying he forgot someone regarding being made of magic.

"If I've left anyone out, then that would be you." After all, it was her unflagging strength and faith that got him through one of the darkest times of his time on the train here. Ignis would never ever forget how she spurred him on to keep going.

Gray eyes opened as he heard that they'd meet back in his world. And then his head rested against Inigo's chest as the 'Just wait for me' hit his ears. He kept quiet and simply held on. Who sent this angelic person to him? Sure Inigo had his flaws, hell they both did. But how did he manage to get such a person?

"You know..sometimes I wonder if you're real." Yuki whispered. He was pretty sure they had in fact had this conversation before but they would have it as many times as needed. His arms slid down and he moved them to his warrior's waist and sighed, closing his eyes.

"If you're not real, I don't think I want to know."

Maru gave a slow, bored seemingly shrug and sort of hunched in on himself a little. "... I'm a vampire. So I'm a monster. But I want to help if I can." And he didn't want to hurt people because of that. Because people expected him to. Because... well... it took so much effort to even care about someone enough to want to harm them.

"I'll be fighting what I can." Because he'll be directed to do so. But he would try his hardest.

It all looked the same to Maru, really. But he could understand wanting to get off of the train. He was generally happy to be stuck inside, the sunlight bothered him. But fresh air would be nice.

"Ah... won't be long, I guess." Maru replied.

"Do you know what kind of sauce, or is out that kind that could be used for anything?" He asked before going to actually check it himself. He could think of a couple of things he could probably do with it, but he wasn't sure if they had the other items that can be used to actually make it.

Going to pout the source down he was already starting to look around, this was really his first time looking for anything in the kitchen, so he might be a while.

"Blue here. Ignis asked me to." Raven should probably worry about how casually he talked about jumping into strange portals. "I think you'll be useful wherever you help, Danny. Your focus and control have improved."

"Good to know. He's more capable than he thinks sometimes, and we work well together." Raven said with approval. "Are you going to be alright? Don't overwork yourself."

Creed studies the kid, able to tell something different about him, but his nose is all clogged from all the other people on the train, so who knows if he's smelling things right?

"You know how to swim?"

Curufin shakes his head. "What's the matter with these experts? How are they experts if they have never actually had a conversation with a ghost? And if they would not even talk to you, except to tell you to shut your mouth, how will they ever know that some ghosts are neither liars nor tricksters?"

He shakes his head again. "Even if most ghosts who come to the human world are troublesome, shouldn't it be a ghost-hunter's responsibility to seek out the other kind and ask for their point of view? By the way, can living humans travel to the ghost zone?"

"Thanks."

She means it, though she looks briefly unhappy even with that.

"The weird thing is, usually all the visionary-types on this train get some kind of dream-vision the day before a mission, but this one? Nada."

"A childhood friendship grown deeper with time? Nice to have one of those. Does Ran know that Shinichi and you are the same person?" He doesn't want to make Conan uncomfortable, but Ran is here on the Voidtrecker now, and Curufin is bound to interact with her sooner or later. He'd be happier knowing if she knows of this situation.

"I haven't seen any mer person who looks worse than others. But I guess it would be a good idea to check more than one person."

He followed her, observing her technique with interest, and he also did some more checking as well.

"I wonder, too. We seem to have ruled out the ordinary causes, poisoning or drugging. That leaves magic or spiritual power. We aren't going to be able to respond to either of those by ourselves. What if we report this to the rest of the team? And then we'll need to find some other task. Maybe looking inside all the buildings, one by one?"

Curufin grins when Inigo snorts. He does believe in making light of a situation in order to view it from a better perspective.

"You're welcome, Inigo. I'd better get going myself. I wish you the best of luck!"

Okay... But cover them with what? Things we can find laying around?

[Rap[unzel really wasn't sure what she could do. What could they do with covering them? At least it would make them safe in her mind.]

"Maybe we should gather everyone back on the train for a meeting or something. That way we can discuss what others have done and what could be done."

It did mean having to go back and it did mean trying to find everyone, but she figured it would be a good idea at least.

Curufin hears that breath of consternation as regards the failed last mission. He feels the same, but he too is a good compartmentalizer.

He smiles sardonically at Zelda's quip. "Oh, you could be right about that. But I'm willing to risk it for the sake of knowing whether these people can be awakened."

Maru pulled a face and looked away for a moment. "I'd rather not..." He could probably go in the water if he had to. But he didn't like it. But flowing water was difficult.

"... Is the ocean flowing water, do you think?" He'd never thought of it, mainly because he'd never actually been in the ocean before.

Yes, yes! It was on the screens, wasn't it?

[ This is about as far as she's gotten into understanding the tech. Good lord. ]

I've been doing my best to write something we can perform, but unfortunately, I can't compose... but that's where you come in!

The tone doesn't surprise her. Madoka knows how mature Raven can be. How strong she can be. Of course she'd say that it'll be okay, even though this is a pretty big deal.

But she can't help but fuss over her friend all the same. In fact, she's about to do so at that very moment before Raven first manages to set in those last words, rendering every word that could possibly have come out of Madoka's mouth useless.

Instead she quietly stares at the other before slowly nodding. And despite some worries still lingering, she smiles a little.

"Thank you." There's very obviously genuine gratitude in her voice as she says it. "I'll be around, so.. feel free to come to me at any time. I can always make some time for you." Even once they'll be dealing with monsters. Raven is just that important of a friend.

"It's the beginning of it," she says, eyes closed in concentration.

"Another moment- let them settle into themselves."

And after a few moments the shaking fades into a distant hum, power coiled in on itself and waiting to be unleashed.
