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.

[Ignis was quietly waiting. He didn't have a weapon drawn a of yet but would the moment he saw anything move. He did take a moment to check out the spear because they were of interest, but he didn't draw attention to himself regarding it. He too had seen her around the train but hadn't spoken to her.

At hearing the blonde introduce himself, he shook his head.]

We'll be ready once they start surfacing.

It's good to meet you! [ She takes hold of his hand and gives it a cheery shake and then just kind of? doesn't let go?? She hangs onto it while chattering away to them both?? I am so sorry. ] Please, do call me Bryn.

[ We've dropped the pretense of "Bryn" being a nickname literally anyone else came up with, it seems. ]

You don't mind if I hang around here until things get started, do you? I'd so hate to miss it!
bethereprompto: (CVNXNIT)

[personal profile] bethereprompto 2020-05-24 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you too, Bryn!

[Prompto was smiling as she introduced herself and then it started to waver into confusion as she just.. kept shaking his hand? Uhhh... Iggy? He looks at the advisor for advice but he couldn't actually ask it in front of the girl. Just how does one politely get their hand back? Was it gone for good? RIP Prompto's hand! HELP!]

Y- yeah uh.. yeah, we should uh..

[What was happening?]
faithfulsupport: (As you wish)

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2020-05-24 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[The advisor nodded at the introduction of the name. And he noted that she hadn't quite let go of Prompto's hand after a moment.]

Of course we don't mind.

[Looking at the blonde then at Bryn, Ignis smiled gently.]

However, Prompto would require his hand back in order to fight.
draconite: (smile | even the one i love most)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-05-25 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? [ She looks between them for a second, like she's not quite catching on and then her gaze drops to Prompto's hand, still clasped in her own. ] Ah, yes, of course!

[ And she rather unceremoniously drops it. Enjoy your freedom, Prompto's hand.

Breezing on, as if the exchange had never happened: ]


By the sounds of things, you two seem to have a good idea of what you're doing. Are you adventurers?

[personal profile] bethereprompto 2020-05-30 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

[Prompto gives her an apologetic/ sheepish smile when she lets go- like he's sorry for putting her out to release his hand.]

Adventurers? Oh, like they say in video games? Uh.. yeah, I guess. We've been on a lot of adventures, does that make us adventurers?
faithfulsupport: (Serious -r)

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2020-05-31 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
We've done some of what you would refer to as adventuring.

[The term wasn't unfamiliar as Y'jhimei had called them such things when she had caught up to them to help with the Wind Spirit Garuda and the Ixal beast men. That was also the first time he'd heard that people from other worlds could appear in theirs. And it would stand to reason the reverse could be true as well.

Turning to Prompto now, the advisor nodded.]
draconite: (rukabryn003)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-06-01 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Why yes, of course it does!

[ She regards the both of them with a big, sunny smile. ]

It's quite refreshing to know I'm not the only one here!
bethereprompto: (Default)

[personal profile] bethereprompto 2020-06-12 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He liked her! She was quirky but nice.]

What kind of adventures have you been on? We've been trying to help Noct save our world.
faithfulsupport: (I've got something to add)

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2020-06-13 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[There was a slight tension in Ignis' shoulders. Somehow he was still uncomfortable for whatever reason to reveal anything about Noct. But he supposed it was just his old habit of keeping things a secret and being on the run for so long. Still, he didn't add anything to Prompto's words.]

Yes, we'd be most interested to hear some of the adventures you've been on.

[And keep the topic off of the king.]

[ Bryn hesitates – just a fraction of a second long enough to be notable, because she realizes... well, given that these two sound like a pair of goody-two shoes, with the whole saving the world thing, telling them she's out on a happy go lucky road trip to revenge kill somebody is maybe? not? the best first impression to make???

So instead, she goes for... a bit of a half truth. ]


Oh, all kinds! I've been traveling all up and down the country I come from for a while now. I just like to travel, so really, everything's been a bit of an adventure!
bethereprompto: (Default)

[personal profile] bethereprompto 2020-06-16 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Road trips are great!

[He loved them. At least ones that were more like the first part of their trip and less like the last few days on Eos.]

If we can't find a hotel or something, we camp out and Iggy is a genius with food!
faithfulsupport: (Creative thoughts)

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2020-06-16 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Then you'll fit right in here.

[Ignis then flicked his eyes over to Prompto when he said the part where Ignis was a genius with food. Trust the blonde to make an important thing sound like a grand old time though to be certain they did have their fun times too. But he had to shake his head at the praise.]

It's nothing special.
draconite: (joy | i'm a villain)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-06-17 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Food?

[ Prompto, you fool, you've said the magic word. Just look at her face light up. ]

I'm so jealous... neither me or my companions are much help when it comes to cooking, so I can't imagine how wonderful it'd be to have someone cooking amazing food for you on your travels!
bethereprompto: (pic#13797699)

[personal profile] bethereprompto 2020-06-21 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing special? Have you been in the sun too long?

[He grins, pleased Bryn was having such a positive reaction.]

It is amazing! Gladio's not bad either. He just doesn't have Iggy's zillion recipes in his repertoire or pizzazzy, fanciness with food, but his stuff can turn out really tasty. We'll eat well on this mission! Don't worry.
faithfulsupport: (Looking at -r)

[personal profile] faithfulsupport 2020-06-21 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Green eyes caught Bryn's face lighting up and he was confused about someone not being able to cook on an adventure. How else were people supposed to eat? Ignis himself remembered not having much gil but he cooked a lot of those nights when funds were few so the boys could at least have a good meal and get a night's rest out under the stars.

That look went from Bryn to Prompto when the question was asked if he'd been out in the sun too long. There was a long suffering sigh and he shook his head.]

Very well Prompto. Since you're so insistent about eating so well, you can help with making dinner.
draconite: (giggle | so nice to meet)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-06-24 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She gives a merry laugh. ]

Oh dear, I've gone and gotten you in trouble! But never fear, I'll be sure to help you out with dinner now you've been volunteered.

[ Whether or not this is actually a thing anyone wants is another question altogether. ]
