Under the Sea: Mission start

[voidtreckermods]

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.

Comments

She sighs. "The only thing Bucky taught me to make is peanut butter sandwich." She admits, with a shrug.

"I'm just trying to get someone to cook for everyone, since we're on a mission and there might be times when we need it?" She says.

[flatteries]

He nods. "It's a good idea."

Although it isn't said, you can practically hear the 'but' hanging in the air after it. His gaze trails off for a moment before he looks back at her.

"My potential cooking skills aside, I.. am not too sure if me cooking is a good idea. I mean, I suppose this might sound strange, but it wouldn't feel right to me. I prefer being out there fighting. Ah-- Not that I think cooking is below my level or anything, I greatly admire people who can do it well! I just don't really feel of use unless I'm making myself useful through fighting specifically since I know I can do that and I'm used to it and.."

In the middle of that instinctive rambling (without having to take a breath halfway through, apparently!) he promptly shuts himself up by forcing himself to close his mouth.

".. I'm saying too much, aren't I."

[sensitiveapple]

She shakes her head. "No. We all have to play to our strengths. I can't swim, and won't learn, so I'm best suited to be on the train, doing other things. You are willing to learn, and can fight, so you're going with the divers." Misa shrugs. "One isn't better than the other, it's just the strengths we have to play to."

She's not even offended he thinks that way. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Being able to do something, and do it well, means you probably should.

"Be careful, alright?"

[flatteries]

Her not seeming offended at all and even saying all of that only confirms in Inigo's mind how sweet she can be. Especially when she adds that last part. He sucks in a deep breath and pulls his hand through his hair, trying to summon more of his usual bravado once more.

"Of course I will be." .. There's not really any 'of course' about that when a reckless hero like Inigo is involved in the equation, but sure.. "As long as you're careful too. I want to see you again after this in one piece."

[sensitiveapple]

She spontaneously hugs him. "I'll be here. With warm towels, and hopefully warm food." She assures him. She's not going anywhere.

[flatteries]

That hug is definitely spontaneous. Inigo doesn't see it coming in the slightest.

It's why his cheeks colour pink in flustered surprise. There's a slight moment of hesitation, but then he also gives her a quick hug in return. She may not want to call it friendship, but.. honestly, there's nothing else this could feel like to him. (It's nice.)

".. Thanks." His voice is a little softer, but very genuine. "Knowing that helps me a bunch. I can't let something happen to me out there when there's someone here waiting for me."

[sensitiveapple]

"You'd better come back." She says, stepping back and gaining control of herself once more. "Or I'm telling your boyfriend on you." She's teasing. She wouldn't do that. But it's a promise to be here waiting when he returns.

[flatteries]

Inigo softly laughs. It's genuinely amused, but still a little on the soft side, everything considered.

"Please have mercy on me. Nothing is scarier than Yuki when he starts scolding me." He's also joking. .. Mostly. Inigo is very, very much the whipped one in this relationship.

"I'll get going then. Take care, okay? I'll be back before you know it."

[sensitiveapple]

"I'll be here." She whispers.
