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.

Yugi had come back up after at least one attempt going down. It was frustrating, but the issue he knew wasn't just something one can overcome with sheer will power, but that it was going to take time and good number of attempts over time.

He was however about to make another attempt when he saw the spider jump in. He... didn't know spiders could swim. But when he saw them floating instead he started to swim over briefly, then he watched them finally start to sink. Was, that normal? When it came to giant spiders he didn't actually know.

"I-Is sinking normal? Are you okay?"

Yugi had come out of the water for the time being, mostly because his anxiety was getting the best of him at the moment. So it was best to just relax and hang out in the dining car.

He was admittedly a little relieved that he wasn't along when he reached it. "Hey. You helping out on the mission here?" He could see why it would be much better.

"I assume you are talking about the fact our clothing is always going to be this bright orange, right?" Well at least it meant they stood out a bit right? Though in certain missions he wondered if that could actually be a bad thing.

Bucky | Blue team co-lead | OTA

[personal profile] luckybucky 2020-05-10 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Preparations

Normally, Bucky would be tacking himself out in purple gear, but this time he's gone for the blue. He starts by taking one of the waterproof bags and neatly ripping it along the seams, tying a piece of the fabric around his metal arm. Normally he wouldn't worry about someone misidentifying him, but he's painted the arm in a color that matches his skin -- though it's uniform and for that reason alone, looks unnatural.

Anyone he sees from blue team is going to get checked on, and anyone from purple, too, even though he's not planning to join their part of the mission.


Blue Arrival

There's a huge shield on his arm, painted in red, white, and blue, and he moves like it's a part of him as he hops from the train and takes a moment to look around, lifting his hand to shield his eyes as he turns his gaze to the ocean alongside their beach. "Guess whoever's in charge of the train isn't worried about this world seeing it," he mused.


Blue Mission

After the information provided by the locals, Bucky organized as many people as he could get to listen into gathering up anything that would burn, and starting little campfire stations along the beach, so that when the time came, anyone who needed it would have fire nearby. Anyone who knows what pitch is, is tasked with seeing if they can scrounge any up for making torches.

Curufin was very much enjoying braiding Glorfindel's hair. It reminded him of the old days in Tirion before all the trouble began, when he would spend time with his cousins and their friends. Fixing one another's hair for a celebration was not an unusual pastime. And the tune he was humming was indeed an original composition.

When Glorfindel rose and checked his appearance in the mirror, Curufin smiled and answered, "I wish I had been there, too. I'd have sliced and diced him with my sword of meteroic iron!" This is partly a real wish, partly wishful thinking, and partly a humorous thought. Balrogs were hard to beat.

"The dark has a way of feeling like that." Considering that darkness was usually a negative thing to. He had soon found himself surprised for a brief moment before squeezing it back briefly. It was comforting.

"I know I'm not, I never really thought I was." As soon as he let go he smiled. "I'll go a little further, then if I am still this bad I'll head up and you keep going, okay? I'll try again later if that happens because I won't let my fear beat me."

"That's exactly what I'm talking about," answered Curufin, with a smile. "The train always does this, gives us clothes in our team colors to wear on missions. I feel like a Halloween pumpkin or a circus clown. Or the bright center of a paper target. Not that I always object. On those missions where we have to persuade families to evacuate, the children think I'm funny, and that makes it easier." But it didn't make it easier when there was shooting.

The woman who had spoken first strode ahead, leaving the other five to distribute themselves among the veritable army of void warriors who had joined them.

She was the eldest out of the six but that did not seem to slow her at all, she walked with a determined gait, not fast enough to leave anyone behind but steady and sure.

"You would think they could do different shades of Orange too, depending on what the mission if for. Like if we have to be sneak, a darker Orange would work much better and to not have it all over or something." Still have it somewhere, but not having it all over would work.

He soon tugged at the clothing. "This is also my first time wearing a wetsuit, so it's really strange"

"Depends who you're going with," she glanced at him, then did a more clinical up-down check of his gear. "Me, I'm gonna head off once I've got more than me and Buttercup."

She hoped Curufin didn't mind having a large spider flap towards him until she was close enough to grab an arm! This sucked, okay?

She shook her head, legs currently preoccupied with flailing madly on the offchance that this would stop her descent. Well, she tried to shake her head. Without a neck, the movement was rather lost in the general twisting of her body.

Ah! Wait!

More wriggling. She sank a little, then flapped herself back up.

Two arms lifted overhead until they were clear of the water, and held up a shaky S O S tangled together from soggy spiderthread.

"I think so, mister Curvo." He looked up from where he was sat. "I think this bit goes here, see."

He held up the breathing apparatus that he was putting together.
myblueskies: (someone needs help!)

[personal profile] myblueskies 2020-05-10 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
He did so, holding the stick he had grabbed and moving to be behind her. He doesn't like hiding behind other people but without his borderlines he can't help as much as he can usually.

It's also made him scared, because he only knows one reason why he would all of a sudden not be able to use borderlines. But he can't check right now, because this bad crab is still here.

The crab skitters around them, before lunging again, big pincers heading towards Romeo's rescuer!

"We will sir!" Romeo nodded at him with a grin, "We will help look after everyone! Joss is a very good fighter and I've been practising, so we can fight the monsters together!"

And they were both very small, which might mean the monster didn't think they would be a big problem.

"You're talking about humour and missing the best part?" Tidus holds one of the helmets in his hands, spinning it in light inspection before regarding the other guy.

"Fish go in these. And fruit punch. Not heads."

All remarked with amusement.

"Maaaaru!"

He'll probably hear that before he sees Madoka, considering she attaches herself to him the moment she sees him standing in the dressing room like that by giving him a quick hug from behind. Madoka is probably so used to his cute kitty form by now that it makes her hesitate so much less with showing affection like that even in his human form..

Not to mention the girl seems rather excitable today. Usually she's kind of nervous for a mission, but this is the first time she's going with Maru. So it's going to be much better this time! She's going to be useful, she's ready for it!

Hence why, once she lets go after the quick hug, she moves until she's in front of him, smiling up at the other.

"You haven't put the mission clothes on yet?"

She smiled at Curufin, it was good he was here, he always knew things. Flippers, a silly word for silly shoes but if they helped you swim. She nodded and put them to the side. "They will be being useful then, if we do be needing to be swimming a lot."

Apparently Romeo isn't the only one keeping an eye out for friends. Apparently Madoka has already put on her wetsuit for the mission, but she's running back into the dressing room all the same and looks rather relieved when she spots Romeo - she must have been looking for him specifically.

"Romeo." She smiles, though it's hard to keep a hint of worry out of it. She still hasn't forgotten how Romeo was suddenly just gone during that space mission, and then he returned with that blight.. "Um.. Are you okay? Are you worried about the mission?"
