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.

It is. And thanks, by the way. I'm pretty sure you saved my life.

[Because he sure as hell hadn't been going to get very far on his own, at least as far as fighting the monster went.]
draconite: (beam | the heroes on the good side)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-05-24 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ You thought she was beaming before? Think again. Now she's all but preening. ]

Oh, you don't have to thank me! I just enjoy a good fight, that's all. I take it you haven't done very much of it yourself?
swansongs: (That I should really stick)

[personal profile] swansongs 2020-05-25 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughed.]

I'm a musician. There's not much room for fighting there, unless I'm fending off fans.

[He'd just...leave out the part about bar room fist fights when he was a little younger.]
draconite: (excited | why pretend that it isn't true)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-05-25 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
A musician?

[ Bryn's face absolutely lights up and, heedless of all the other chaos happening around them right now, seizes hold of his hands in her excitement. ]

What sort of music do you play?
swansongs: (Let's face it I blew it you waited)

[personal profile] swansongs 2020-05-26 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, uh--

[Normally, he didn't always like people invading his personal bubble, but you know what? Bryn seemed genuinely sweet and very excitable, so he'd let it slide.]

Uh. Rock, mostly. Sometimes some slower love songs.

[He really hoped she knew what rock music was.]
draconite: (pride | your boring world)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-05-26 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
Love songs! Aah, how wonderful!

[ Bryn does not, in fact, know what rock music is. Don't worry about it. ]

What instruments do you play? Do you sing? Do you compose?!

[ She's talking faster and faster... ]
swansongs: (That I should really stick)

[personal profile] swansongs 2020-05-27 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy. And he'd thought he'd seen her excited before.]

I do sing. And I play guitar and piano. I also write the lyrics for a lot of my songs, but the band helps me compose.

[Or they did, anyway, since none of them were here.]
draconite: (eager | did you?)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-05-27 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I've never learned guitar, but I do play piano, too! How fortunate!

[ Still holding onto his hands, Bryn gets All Up in his personal space, her eye blazing with intensity. ]

You should come compose with me! We're planning on putting on performances on the train and we need musicians like you!
swansongs: (Let's face it I blew it you waited)

[personal profile] swansongs 2020-05-28 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He resisted the knee jerk reaction to back away, but couldn't stop himself from leaning back just a little.]

Oh, that's cool. And yeah, uh. That'd be nice. I think I heard something about that, maybe?

[If he was thinking about the same thing, at least.]
draconite: (chatter | the demon sharing)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-05-29 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes! It was on the screens, wasn't it?

[ This is about as far as she's gotten into understanding the tech. Good lord. ]

I've been doing my best to write something we can perform, but unfortunately, I can't compose... but that's where you come in!
swansongs: (That I should really stick)

[personal profile] swansongs 2020-05-30 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
The screens?

[He was confused at first, mostly because he was imagining movie theaters, for some reason, but then something clicked, and he thought he got it.]

Oh! Yeah, those.

I'd be glad to help with composing something.

[So long as it didn't turn into a nightmare. He was a little nervous about composing without his usual team of helpers, but he could do this.]
draconite: (confident | breathing every breath)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-05-30 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yesssss!

[ Still holding onto his hands (seriously, Bryn, give the man some space) she bounces up and down on the spot in sheer excitement. ]

I'd just about given up hope on finding anyone but here you are! This is going to be amazing!
swansongs: (My last card I played it)

[personal profile] swansongs 2020-05-31 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[He couldn't help but start laughing. Who would've thought he'd be having a conversation like this, after fighting off a horrible sea monster?]

I hope so. I mean, I'll do my best.

[And that was a promise, if only because she was so excited about this that he'd feel bad letting her down.]
draconite: (joy | i'm a villain)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-05-31 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ sea monsters, shitty theater productions. it's all about on the same level as hype for her. ]

Then we should hurry back to the train as soon as we can, and get things started!

[ YOU ARE ON A MISSION YOUNG LADY ]
swansongs: (Let's face it I blew it you waited)

[personal profile] swansongs 2020-05-31 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, o- wait.

[He got so wrapped up in her excitement that he almost forgot--they were in the middle of something important.]

After we finish helping out here.

[As preferable as composing music was over fighting sea monsters, he couldn't just skip off and forget that he was here to help people.]
draconite: (blank | to someone else)

[personal profile] draconite 2020-06-01 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oh, I completely forgot about the monsters!

[ NO SHIT, GENIUS ]

Are you planning to carry on fighting with your injury, or are you heading back?
swansongs: (To what I said)

[personal profile] swansongs 2020-06-02 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He stood up a little straighter, in an attempt to demonstrate that he wasn't that badly injured.]

I can still fight. Er, keep an eye on things. I can help out here, still.

[The only way he'd give up and go back to the train or something was if he was hurt enough to be carried.]
draconite: (Default)

we can probably wrap this one here if you like!

[personal profile] draconite 2020-06-02 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright then!

[ She gives that excited little fistpump of hers. ]

Shall we head back into the thick of it together?
swansongs: (That I should really stick)

Sounds good to me!

[personal profile] swansongs 2020-06-03 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[God, he hoped there wasn't really a thick of it, like an actual war, but he was here for this and he'd do what he could.]

Yeah, let's show these things who's, uh, boss.
