Onward: Orange

[voidtreckermods]

On the second night those still on the train may be woken by rough seas, the train lurching and rolling in the waves.

If they manage to sleep through the choppy waters they might instead be woken by the voice over the ICPs. "Orange team to doors. Orange team to doors."

Those that head the instruction and exit out of the luggage carriage or dressing room doors will be met with a strange sight.

The sea is glowing. Or at least part of the sea. Underneath them, from where Bui lies there is a light that shines upwards through the dark water, rippling over the water, breaking into specks of light in the waves.

It seems it is time for another investigation.

Night Dive

The water is even colder at night, the water eerie as they make the dive down to the city. The whole city is lit up, light reflecting off shells and coral.

The light seems to be coming from the far palace. Outside the palace there is a sigil, in the shape of a shell, glowing brightly. It had not been there before, nothing to suggest there had been anything special about that patch of ground. Yet it glows now.

Crabs

The city of Bui, until now, has been peaceful, eerily empty even. But as they investigate they will find a different problem. Some of the giant crabs have found their way to the city. Not overwhelming numbers, but enough to be a problem, especially as their aim seems to be attacking the sleeping citizens.

On the Train

For those who remain on the train dawn brings it's own problems. Dawn breaks into darkness, the sun barely penetrating. Shadows are deep and the temperature cooler. It is not too dark to see, more like an endless twilight.

The seas remain rough and choppy, like a storm is brewing.

Curufin watches with delight as one pokemon leads the crabs in and the result is a very entertaining crab-and-pokemon dance.

And then Dancer falls upon the crabs with fire and fury.

Curufin shields his face with a sleeve as the walls are sprayed with pieces of crab and fluids of crab. He drops his arm swiftly and looks around to see if any of the crustaceans have survived. His sword is at the ready.

By the time Dancer's done, there's maybe one crab that isn't in pieces, but it's also very, very dead and barely holding together.

Eva lets Dancer loop the room a few more times before recalling the fire-type with a simple 'Good'. She then turns to Curufin. "We need to move. This world's somehow replicating phenomena called Pressure, which means pokemon expend more energy than normal to attack."
