A City Falls: Start
Preparation
Just after light on the seventh day of the month of Bassoon everyone’s SCA glows with the colour of the void before showing a message. A briefing for the mission to come.
Anyone who goes to investigate the dressing carriage will find all the cupboards and drawers open. They may need to battle through spider webs but soon will find an array of clothes. Trousers, skirts, dresses, shirts, robes, cloaks. Everything they will need and plenty of choice. All the clothes have accents of team colours in more muted hues than the normal bold hoodies they wear.
A few hours later there is an announcement over the speakers. "Arrival to Planet #25768 imminent. Prepare for exit from Void. Drop order: Purple, Orange, Red, Blue. All passengers are to wear their Safety Control Apparatus and are reminded that emergency evacuation protocol is three short taps."
The train shudders and jerks. It is time.
Purple
"Purple Team to doors. Drop in two minutes. Purple team to doors."
The train flies down through the air before coming to a stop between two rocky outcrops. The doors hiss open, it’s a bit of a jump down to the ground and anyone who looks back will find the train hard to see. Not invisible but definitely cloaked, shifting to blend in with the rock.
They can hear the sound of many footsteps and the high sound of young voices. It is easy to hear where they need to be.
As they move down the rocky slope they will see the main pass. A large group of children are walking. Spirits are high even if it is clear they are on their guard. Older teens are wearing weapons, swords, the odd axe, a few daggers. Nothing expertly crafted but they all wear them with ease. Slightly younger children carry the very young, toddlers and those too young to walk and keep pace.
There’s a sound from in front of the group. From around the corner a girl, about thirteen years old, runs towards them. Her braids bounce against her shoulders, her eyes are wide with fear and she waves her hands at the others. “Run! Run!”
A shadow looms behind her, a winged wolf, gaining speed towards her. Sat on the wolf is a spear wielding goblin.
From all around them a growling of many more wolves, in the hills, close and ready to pounce.
Orange
Once Purple Team are gone the train flies again. "Orange Team to doors. Drop in two minutes. Orange Team to doors."
The train seems to be still concealed as it hovers at the city walls. There’s a bit of a jump onto the walls but at least they are near one of the staircases down into the city.
Also luckily no one seems to have seen them appearing out of no where though that has more to do with the general chaos rather than anything else!
There is a lot of chaos! People evacuating, animals everywhere, people looking lost and bewildered. Get herding or helping and encourage people up that cliff path!
Red
The train flies onward. "Red team to doors. Drop in two minutes. Red team to doors."
The train makes a slightly bumpy landing on a rocky slope. Scrambling up the slope red team will see a group of fighters, perhaps eighty in total. There are some supplies to the side, not yet allotted. Some horses and weapons. All the fighters are currently focused on a tall woman who is on horseback, facing them from the front.
“… Say those that stand here, as few as we may be were the ones who end the goblin menace on our lands for good. For our children and our families. We fight!”
The end of what was clearly a rousing speech, the fighters cheer. They begin to move over the slope, towards the goblin camp below. If you are joining this battle the time is now!
Blue
The train flies low, skimming over the lake. "Blue Team to doors. Drop in one minute. Blue Team to doors."
Jumping down off the train they will land in the shallows of the lake. It’s not deep enough to go over their boots and now too far to wade to shore. The shore is rocky, loose rocks and pools of water to avoid. The tower stands before them. Three goblins, riding wolves perch on the walls high above them. The sky above crackles with lightning that is not at all natural.
The doorway to the tower is open, there are a lot of stairs to get up. The howls of the wolves fill the air as the wizards fight them off above. Time to climb!

N.. no, it's okay.. I should have been paying more attention to everything around me. [ But she was just way too lost in her thoughts about everything coming up.
.. which does bring them back to Reigen's question, huh. ]
But I'm.. [ She pauses, clear that she doesn't know what to answer. She doesn't want to worry him, but lying also feels bad? This is a lose-lose situation. ] I.. I'm fine..
[ The least convincing answer ever. ]
no subject
Nervous? Well, we've never been to wherever we're going before, so that's normal. Just think of it as hands-on training and you'll be fine!
[His own policy on anxiety is usually "fake it till you make it". Well, that's his policy on everything.]
no subject
.. Right. All of this must be nothing compared to the kind of things you usually deal with, right..? [ Apparently Madoka's imagination of Reigen's daily life has gotten a bit Wild after realising he can help get rid of monsters as well. ] I wish I could deal with it as easily as you..
[ 100% falling for his faking strategy, yes. ]
no subject
Well, I wouldn't call it nothing, but I usually just take things as they come, you know? There's a lot of things I have a hard time dealing with too! Like, uh... [Reigen thinks for a moment if he really wants to admit a legitimate fear of his, but eh, it's Madoka. It's fine.]
Roaches! I'm terrified of roaches! Don't tell anyone though, I'm only admitting this to you because you're my student!
no subject
[ Granted, Madoka would have believed it no matter whether he admitted to a legitimate fear or just made up a fake one, she's just that gullible.. She doesn't think of questioning him at all, as evident from her immediate reaction. ]
You're really afraid of those? [ Wow. He deals with scary supernatural things, and yet he's scared of something much less dangerous.. It's kind of amazing to her. ] W.. Well, I don't think you have to be scared of those showing up during this mission! I think...
[ Don't jinx it, Madoka. Giant roach army. ]
no subject
[This was not meant to analyze Reigen's phobia. If there is a giant roach army where they go, he will probably cry.]
The point is that everyone has a hard time with something! Even people who look like they have it all figured out!
no subject
[ She quickly nods. Roaches are no fun, and apparently even The Amazing Reigen himself is afraid of something. But after a slight moment of hesitation, she feels like she just has to point out why it seemed slightly odd to her. If not just so she doesn't look like she was super impolite just now. ]
It's just.. even if roaches are kind of gross, it's not like they can hurt you, right..? I thought that if you weren't afraid of monsters that could actually hurt you or worse, then there's no way anything else would still be scary.
no subject
[Reigen would cite several occasions where a cockroach almost killed him, but honestly, most of those just sound like his own fault when he says them out loud.]
But...well, it's not like I don't think about how I could get hurt or anything. I just tell myself I can handle it if it does freak me out, and once you say it enough times, it becomes true!
no subject
Thankfully she doesn't have too long to linger on that thought when the other thing he says draws her attention much more. ]
.. Eh, really? It really ends up coming true?
[ See, Madoka here was telling herself she could do it too, but she was feeling less and less sure of that with every repetition at this point. ]
Like magic?
no subject
[Hey, magic makes it sound cooler than 'using a psychological framing device to boost your own confidence in yourself', so he'll go with that.]
no subject
Then.. I-I'll make sure to try to do it even more! [ Apparently she seems to be taking that very seriously as well - there's a tiny determined frown on her face and all. Even though on Madoka's face it mostly still just looks adorable. ] I'll make sure it comes true somehow, so.. thank you for the advice! As expected, you really are an expert...
[ When it comes to what, Madoka?? Self-motivating?? ]
no subject
[He lightly pats her shoulder in congratulations.] It took me years to master that power myself, but I only discovered it when I was older than you are right now...so you're already off to a better start!
