Under the Sea: Mission start

[voidtreckermods]

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.

Comments

"Your outfits and so on. Are they in your room?"

If Najaran had her SCA off, Nita reasoned, though she still looked surprised at the semi-coherent response, then she'd had it off for a reason.

"I see you have your cards, though. Were they okay being underwater?"

[najaran]

"I kept them in the suit... thing... never...let...them... bu hurt..." she mumbled.

[unfavorableinstigation]

"Hopefully they are unhurt," Nita replied, now even more worried. Given how she was currently cut off from speaking to the peridexis, were the Cards in a similar state?

"We'll take them out when we get to medical," she decided.

"This way, walk with me, okay? One step, two step..."

[najaran]

"They be'er be.." she mumbled, trying to walk with her, flippers making a funny noise as they started to dry.

[unfavorableinstigation]

They were going to have to clean up any mess they made while walking, weren't they?

Nita put that out of her mind for now, focusing solely on getting Najaran to medical and checking her in.

She might not need the entire day for this, but Najaran likely did need to sleep this off, after a checkup, and having her run back out only to get nearly drowned again wasn't going to be happening on Nita's watch.

[najaran]

Oh, you know she's going to try it....

By the time they got where they were going Najaran was closer to asleep than awake, though she was shivering less. Mostly now she was just beyond exhausted and in pain.

[unfavorableinstigation]

Nita quietly lamented the lack of professional Doctors currently on the train - both Wen Qing and the Doctor had been dropped off earlier - but the medical car was still well-stocked. There should be appropriate medications and so forth.

First priority, however, was putting Najaran on the bed and checking her in.

"If you don't have your ticket on you, I'm going to have to go looking, okay?"

She gave Najaran a pointed Look. "And if your roommates are still around, I'm not above pestering them to be sure you have it back on you before you're fully recovered."

[najaran]

"Dun need it now, jes need sleep," she mumbled, trying to pull off her gloves so she could free the cards up her sleeve.

[unfavorableinstigation]

"Uh huh. Just get in bed and stay there, okay- wait, what are you doing?"

She reached over to help Najaran pull the gloves off. "Yyyeah, we should probably remove these. The flippers, too."

[najaran]

Once the gloves were off she freed the few cards she had hidden up her sleeve. "Okay," she mumbled, trying to kick them off, and failing.

[unfavorableinstigation]

And Nita just. Stared at the cards for a second, before going back to helping Najaran get leverage to take those flippers off.

"Do those Cards still work if they get wet - or if you just can't reach them?"

[najaran]

"they can survive being wet," she mumbled, but pulled them closer to herself, protectively. No one was gonna steam the rest of her cards from her. Nope.

[unfavorableinstigation]

"Must be made of stern stuff, then," Nita commented, not moving to take the cards away.

"O-kay, that's one foot. Now the next-"

TY for the thread!

[najaran]

Hands over her cards, Najaran had already passed out...
