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.

Curufin so clearly remembered being a child and hating to wear shoes! He'd certainly understand.

He picked up a red bag off a shelf and handed it to her.

"You mean Red Team might not want you to go with them this time?"
knifewithnoname: (But I don't want that)

"I do be thanking you." She took the bag and put the flippers inside it whilst pulling a face.

"No. Mister Stark says I should be staying on the train."

Which was not acceptable. She had to be on the train all the rest of the time, she had never failed a mission. It was stupid.

He nodded and smiled as she stowed her flippers in the red bag.

"Tony is thinking that the Red Team assignment might be dangerous, then. It could be, from the description we got."

But if she was staying on the train, then why was she suiting up? Hmm. Maybe she was planning on going with Red Team anyway.

"Are you planning to take Tony's advice and stay on the train?" He managed to keep his tone of voice quiet and nonjudgemental. He didn't want to sound like he was going to lecture her. In fact, he wasn't. Not even if she was about to sneak past Tony's vigilance and go with Team Red.

"I do be being on red team." She looked at him suspiciously. He was always kind to her but she was unsure how loyal he was to Tony. He might rat her out.

"I would no be being on red team if I could no be doing the missions." Surely that was how it would work. Challenging the missions might be, but there would be no point in setting them up to fail.

And she hadn't failed yet, even when the missions had been difficult. She was angry that even now Tony doubted her.

He returned that suspicious look with a kindly one of his own. He'd never rat her out, not even to Tony.

"I see what you mean. You're competent to go on the missions, even the dangerous ones." Which meant all of them, really. "Sorry, I didn't mean to sound as if I thought you weren't."

Tony was an intelligent person whom Curufin respected, but he did sometimes underestimate people.
knifewithnoname: (listening to you)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2020-05-25 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
She nodded, glad he saw her side of things. "I do be being competent and I will no be letting water be slowing me down. You will be seeing."

They all would be seeing. Even Tony.

He nodded and smiled. "I believe you, Little One. I have faith in your abilities."
knifewithnoname: (yes okay)

wrap?

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2020-06-03 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
She grinned, glad that he did so.

"I do be wishing you luck."

She had faith in him too, he was pretty competent.
