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.

"Thank you, Romeo.."

His absolute faith in her (much more than she deserves, she can't help but think) puts a slight shy blush on her face as she lets him take her hand without the slightest protest or resistance.

"You're really good at working together too though. I just know everyone in the purple team is going to love you."
myblueskies: (smiles all round)

He smiled at her and nodded, "I bet they are all good at working together as well!" Just as good as the blue team were!

"And I'll see you after the mission! We can do something fun to celebrate doing a good job!"

Because he had no doubt they would succeed. Last time had been scary and the time before that. But this time, this time it would be all alright!

Romeo's enthusiasm and relentless hope is as infectuous as always. No matter how worried Madoka may still be about some things, it feels so hard to think about those when Romeo is smiling at her like that. So she smiles right in return.

"Okay. I'll have to show you my kitty by then too. He's going to be helping me out during the mission." Yes, a cat is going to help her. Does Madoka realise how ridiculous that sounds out of context? Probably not. "I guess you won't be able to see that this time, but there's always next time..!"
myblueskies: (soo happy)

"You got a kitty? I bet he is a very big help!"

Romeo, it seems, doesn't seem to think there is anything strange about a cat helper at all. Cats were very helpful creatures and he's seen enough animal people to not let anything surprise him.

"I'm glad you will have another friend looking out for you, Madoka!"
happyends: (the promise we made)

It's a good thing that Romeo is on the same level as Madoka here when it comes to belief in cats.

"Thank you.. He really is a big help. And he's so sweet and cute too!" .. and a little lazy, granted, but Madoka likes to focus on people's positive traits. And she knows Romeo is always so nice that he'll for sure just see the positive traits too. "I'm sure Maru will like you."
myblueskies: (I swear!)

"I can't wait to meet him! So that means you two got to stay very safe on this mission, alright! I'll stay safe too and then we can all meet back here afterwards!"

And he puts out his little finger, because such things should be sealed with pinky promises!
happyends: (going through this city)

"Okay."

Madoka instantly realises what he wants to do when he holds out his pinky like that. She knows how important pinky promises are, after all. They're the kind of promise you can never break, no matter what!

And since she isn't intending on breaking this one, she easily hooks her pinky with his.

"It's a promise. We'll stay safe, so we can all see each other again afterwards and eat some yummy snacks."
myblueskies: (I swear!)

It is the most important type of promise and Romeo wants Madoka to know he is being very serious about this. He will keep himself and Joss safe this time and meet up with Madoka again.

"It's a promise!"
