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.

"Someday this train will fully equip us. Some day." Trowa chuckled, reaching for one of the helmets. Putting it on, he frowned as it locked into place. "I think I need a haircut, I'm not wild about this curving my hair into my mouth."

Duo snorted when he caught sight of Trowa with his helmet. "... That's not the best look on you, Tro, my man!"

Trowa's lips twitched in amusement. "Forgot to cut my bangs first." He wasn't about to ask how his friend was going to manage that braid, Duo always found a way.

"Should have just pushed them up and over." And Duo showed what he meant by pushing his own bangs up and smoothing them back against his head. He kind of wished he had a clip of some kind since when he moved his hands they just fell back. Some. Some stuck up and he was forced to fluff his bangs a bit to get them in order. "Like that... sorta."

Trowa couldn't help laughing a little as Duo's bangs fell back forward. "We don't have strong enough glue to hold my bangs back. Gel won't even cut it."
maxwellsdaemon: (up to no good)

"Sucks to be you, buddy!" Duo grinned and then reached back to grab his braid. He rolled it up into as tight a ball as he could, gave it a little twist and he had a kind of a bun at the back of his head that he would be able to shove under the helmet once he put his on. "Should go with a braid instead of bangs!"

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.

"And bangs that long isn't?" He shot back with a smirk. "Good thing I'm just a salvage man and not in the circus!" But he was sure he could make it work if he was.

Trowa laughed and shook his head. "I dunno, you'd make a good human cannonball."

Duo rolled his eyes and did the mature thing and stuck his tongue out. "Screw that! I'd be one of those guys on the motorbikes that ride around in those big spheres!"
sendiintheclown: (smile)

[personal profile] sendiintheclown 2020-06-01 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
The idea of that made Trowa laugh. "You're right, that would suit you better. You'd have to fold your braid up so it can't catch in the gears, though."
maxwellsdaemon: (Doing my thing)

[personal profile] maxwellsdaemon 2020-06-01 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
"I've rode a bike a million times and my braid has never been an issue!" Duo sounded mildly offended by that. But then... "Only reason I'd need to bundle my braid us is so it doesn't whip me as I go around the sphere!"
sendiintheclown: (smile)

[personal profile] sendiintheclown 2020-06-01 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, there is that." Trowa snorted in amusement, imagining Duo getting hit in the face with his braid.
