Fierce New World- Mission Start!
"Good Morning passengers. Today is day six of the month of Jelly." The voice echoes through the train as passengers wake up in their beds. Not long afterwards their SCA’s glow with the colour of the void and a holographic image will appear.
Preparation and Arrival
They have a short time to prepare for their mission, enough time to read their briefs, make decisions, meet in their teams and gather anything they may need.
A few hours later there is another announcement. "Shortly arriving on System #2207385. All passengers get ready to disembark. Next stop world #2207385. Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
The train judders as it leaves the void, the colours from the windows turn into the blackness of space but quickly white as the train descends into the entrance of the biosphere.
The doors of the train open and passengers can enter the large white-walled holding bay. Currently, they are the only vehicle inside. There are four large doors around the bay each labelled with where they lead. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
The doors open easily, and their SCA’s show a basic route, though the non-linear nature of the sectors mean that obstacles will need to be navigated. While they are in a closed world, there is a day and night cycle: the panels far up above are designed to make it seem like there is a natural sky, brightening and dimming every ten hours.
Red/Summer
Empty Streets
Wide streets divide sealed-off factories and manufacturing pods that tower up towards the ‘sky’. It is hot here, though the fumes from the factories are vented out, leaving the air breathable if overly warm.
Sometimes the pods are not yet finished, empty shells that can be sheltered in. There are also stations for living, with plumbing and basic amenities scattered through the sector. Places to rest as they move towards the center and the Great-Summer that they seek.
Helpmates
Where factories are still being built they will find Helpmates, operating machinery or moving materials.
They will not pause in their tasks for long but are programmed to answer questions so can be drawn into a conversation. Or, if the Voidtreckers are unfortunate, they will find those that are malfunctioning turning on them as they approach.
They aren’t too difficult to fight, but can do some damage with the machinery if they manage to take a Voidtrecker by surprise. They can be fought with weapons or magic, or for those that think to use the panels they can be shut down outright.
Wild Weather
Though warm, the corridors remain a constant temperature that is not too unpleasant for people. For the most part. Unfortunately, due to the malfunctioning state of things routes may become impassable. Boiling air, freezing blasts, electricity crackling across a pathway.
Their SCA’s do a good job of warning them, allowing them to change direction or shelter in nearby buildings.
Purple/Autumn
Exploring
The Autumn sector is the least complete of the sectors, with shells of habitation pods and not much else. No one is expected to live here until nearing the end of construction, and so the pods are unfurnished, many missing doors, some missing internal walls.
Outside the streets are wide and clearly made to be pleasant to walk on; it is airy, bright and spacious, if a bit eerie due to the quiet.
There are panels on the walls, to call Helpmates to appear. Here they are primarily for helping citizens, giving directions and offering aid.
Malfunctions
Since there are more helpmates there is more risk of them malfunctioning. They attack with or without weapons, using any tools they can pick up to attack. They can be fought with weapons or magic, or for those that think to use the panels they can be shut down.
They won’t chase people into the houses, their privacy programming preventing them from doing so.
Turned Around
The roads seem simple, built in a grid pattern around the houses. However, whatever is going wrong here is affecting the very streets themselves. Sometimes there will be a wall where there wasn’t before or roads go in circles. Sometimes they find themselves at a dead end, trapped until structures shift again.
Their SCA’s do their best to keep up but it can take a while for them to reroute and by the time they do, that path might be blocked too!
Blue/Spring
Patchwork Forest
The Spring sector houses the hydroponics and pastoral sections. It alternates between grazing land and more heavily forested areas with rows of pine-like trees in a checkerboard pattern, with empty plots interspersed. Walkways divide each square, but all squares appear able to move about as required, as though on a conveyor system.
There are clear walkways to avoid stepping on any newly growing plants. In the grazing land live flocks of camelid creatures resembling alpacas with blueish wool, on average a metre and a half tall at the shoulders. Helpmates appear here as if on a timer to feed the animals and tend to plants.
Destruction
If the Helpmates here malfunction they attack anyone nearby, cause havoc to any farming equipment and frightening the animals.
They can be fought with weapons or magic, or for those that think to use the panels they can be shut down. The panels here are less obvious than they are in the more urban sectors, low to the ground, looking almost like energy panels. But once they know what to look for they will be able to use them to shut down the Helpmates.
Stampede
Frightened animals are likely to flee and unfortunately in this case it means rampaging across the grazing land to the newly growing trees.
They will need to be calmed, returned to their grazing lands and the plants restored. Or it might be that the Voidtreckers can stop the Helpmates before the creatures get too spooked.
Orange/Winter
Exploring
The Winter sector’s primary concern is life support. Huge banks of air scrubbers form artificial cliffs, while other sections are tanks filled with water in varying stages of processing or recycling.
The paths here are a lot narrower than they are in other areas, sometimes requiring moving between pipes or scrambling over layers of railing.
There doesn’t seem to be any easy or straightforward path through the sector, their SCA takes them on wild winding routes through the machinery.
Help or Hindrance
The fluctuating temperatures here are causing problems with many of the pipes, several sections are flooded, others are in danger of being so.
There are patch kits in easily opened panels, designed to be used by the helpmates and indeed there are many helpmates out.
But some are less helpful, those that are malfunctioning are more likely to cause more damage than they are there to fix. They will attack any one who tries to interfere with them. They can be fought with weapons or magic, or for those that think to use the panels they can be shut down.
Patch Job
Once the malfunctioning Helpmates are dealt with the pipes still need to be fixed. The patch kits do not have any instructions but are simple enough that anyone with a basic knowledge of how to fix things should be able to figure them out- though the more knowledge and expertise they have the better the fix!
For those that don’t, many of the jobs will need more than one person and so for those that don’t mind taking instructions they will find an extra pair of hands is always welcome.

He senses it. The need to return. The seriousness of it. The way Roland would read a room and react to it as timely as anyone could. So Rannygazoo's hiig. is low, not as high-pitched or energetic. Jumblie only follows suit, moving about as if she's waiting for him to make a decision. And the higgledy does. ]
'Higgle. Do you want to return to his side faster? Hiig, hiig. Then let us away. I will hold you.'
[ It seems Rannygazoo has taken Inigo's wish as a command. So he glows bright, little higgledy helpers as milky white as him popping into existence before getting reabsorbed into his body, before he disappears completely in the flashing light.
What comes next, is a marvel.
A shadow begins to loom over Inigo. Where there was once a small higgledy no taller than his calves, now stands an almost six feet tall higgledy decked in armor, square and blocky with a cape that billows and a giant sword in one hand - one that could be described as typically cartoonish - and in the other, a round shield that covers almost half its width. The face of a higgledy mounts its helmet like an actual moving expression, and on its head, a feathered crown.
Rannygazoo no longer speaks, instead echoing loud and deep hiiigs! piggle!' before he knees in this form, offering the breadth of his back for Inigo to mount. ]
no subject
Inigo had no idea just how strange his life could get because of the train the moment he first showed up on the platform. Who ever thought he'd be standing in front of a cartoonish creature, taller than him, asking him to ride its back like that? It's not even that Inigo doesn't trust this - if this guy is linked to Roland's heart, then he's got to be good and trustworthy - but it's just weird.
He knows he can't linger on the oddity of this situation for too long though. Who knows when the walls may start closing them in only further? So after picking up Jumblie, and the little sunshine higgledy climbing up on his shoulder as if he's suddenly Ash Ketchum with Pikachu, Inigo does climb onto the bigger Rannygazoo's back, making sure to hold on tight for.. well. For whatever is about to happen. All of this is so weird, Inigo is prepared for anything now. ]
Alright, I'm on! Let's go!
no subject
The moment Inigo climbs on top, Rannygazoo bellows out a deep, echoed sound that feels like its louder than it should be. It doesn't sound the way higgledies should, either, as if his voice has been distorted and amplified. He starts moving slowly at first, too. As if he's too heavy for his body all of a sudden, with or without Inigo's weight behind him. The flurry of higgledy helpers that came out of Jumblie are surrounding him too, happy to stay for the ride. Jumblie herself is all smiles, snuggled against Inigo as if to tell him that this is her favorite part.
What precisely would be her favorite part? Oh, no big deal. It's just when Rannygazoo is finally on his two feet does it all change in a switch, automatic in the way the knight raises his giant shield and dashes to ram itself into all the walls that popped up, blocking their way. It's such an abrupt shift of speed that Inigo is left with little choice but to hold on for the ride, since this beast is unstoppable in its charge.
He wanted to get to Roland faster, right? Well, here they come! And they'll get to him sooner than later too, with the way Rannygazoo doesn't even stop for a break or a breath. Best carnival ride ever. ]
no subject
Except it's just getting more ridiculous by the moment. Inigo thought that maybe they'd somehow just move faster like this, and that's the whole reason the higgledy transformed.
But, oh no. That's not it. No, instead Inigo now finds himself stuck on the back of what feels like an amusement park ride he was totally not prepared for.
Which means that Roland, even on the other side of all these walls, will definitely be able to hear Inigo shriek his lungs out like a terrified schoolgirl. Please, he wants to get off mister Rannygazoo's wild ride!!
He doesn't even realise whether they've made it to Roland or not when the giant higgledy finally comes to a stop. Inigo just barely hangs on at this point, looking utterly defeated. Please. Will his feet ever touch solid ground again. Is he still alive. ]

THE HIGGLEDY SPIRIT
And don't think that intense screaming doesn't immediately put Roland on fight mode, his sword already out the moment a single note erupts from Inigo's screech, an overthinking mind already jumping to the worst conclusions. this is it. They were under attack. His higgledies are protecting him at least, but the commotion, the banging and overall noise pollution from torn down walls and the tremors in the ground all but perfect indicators that Inigo was in total peril. ]
No, Inigo -!
[ Thankfully, the army of higglefriends led by the higgledy knight come into view sooner rather than later. Roland stumbles back, steps shaky, as the the towering creature halts perfectly in front of him. For a minute, he's intimidated by the sheer size of the shield in comparison to the rest of his body, and he's still wondering where Inigo is, head swiveling from side to side in search.
Roland doesn't have to look for long. The higgledy knight disperses in a poof!, Rannygazoo emerging from the smoke alongside a flurry of mixed higglecreatures squealing in delight as loud as their collective entrance. That left Inigo...who would have fallen from a dangerous height had it not been for every single spirte in question catching him gently midway down, like a generous spout of magic lifting him from harm. Roland reaches out almost, but he sees how carefully they hold him, and so he waits until they're able to sway Inigo back down to the ground where his feet can plant themselves in relative safety.
As soon as Inigo is stable, Roland runs towards him and crouches, inspecting his face and body with a worried look on his face. Rannygazoo and Jumblie are off to the side, standing in watch. The former at least, does his part to reassure his human counterpart that they were met well, and he was unharmed. ]
[ Still. Don't mind that Roland's hand is resting against the side of Inigo's face, catching his eye. If he's worried, he's trying his best not to show it. What's new! ]
There you are. Welcome back. I'm sorry. Are you sure you're okay?
i can't believe you keyworded an icon that, omg
The first thing he does register, in fact, is that hand on his face. It's warm and familiar enough to slowly make Inigo snap back to reality with a drawn out groan. ]
Yeah. [ Even though his voice is still a little weak, he's still quick to speak up. Of course he wants to reassure Roland that he's fine - isn't that always the first thing Inigo does in every single situation? He manages to raise a hand enough to wave it a little, as if to wave off the man's concern. ] 'm fine.. Just a bit dizzy.
[ Aka: Inigo is experiencing his first true post-rollercoaster feeling. And he didn't even have to go on a rollercoaster to have it!
He moves. It's a bit haphazardly, but thankfully the close proximity between the two of them makes it very easy to just wrap his arms around Roland's neck, clinging to the other.
There we go. So much more comfortable like this. ]
in his voice did you hear it
Disney WorldSidneyWorld, aBSOLUteLY not, aBSOLUTELY noT --As soon as Inigo's arms wrap around his neck, he melts and closes his eyes for a second, patting his back, circles rubbed against the cloth of his uniform. The urge to scold the higgledies is rising, but he thinks Rannygazoo might know how he feels even without the glare he eventually resorts to throwing their way. But of course, as higgledies do, they all but ignore it and begin swaying to the beat of their own drums, walking around in circles, chasing each other with Jumblie leading the pack. Roland's higgledy hero merely bows and disappears back into his heart.
He wanted to be with you. Faster, faster we went. All will be well.
Roland sighs, tucking his face against the crook of Inigo's shoulder. ]
It's okay. He told me. [ Pronoun game, but thankfully they're all higgledy-fluent (-ish) here. ] You were getting antsy around those walls. I'm glad you're back. Will you stick closer to me? I don't want us to be separated by that. I don't know what this place is capable of doing apart from throwing random walls up.
[ He doesn't mean to sound so sweet, but it comes out genuine and true. Besides, if Inigo seems so shaken by the entire ride, what else can Roland do but offer his unique brand of support? ]
Take a deep breath, pup. I'm here. You're fine. We're gonna be okay.
i read all of them in his voice, including 'president kickass is down'
But not Inigo. Sure, he likes playing the strong guy, unaffected by anything, but there's something about Roland's interactions with him that make Inigo have an entirely new appreciation for getting babied a little bit that he hasn't had ever since his mother died. It just feels oddly comforting to be told to stick close to someone and to be checked up on when he's so used to having to take the reigns himself. It's nice to be able to loosen them up a bit, to give himself some room to breathe.
Which is literally what he's doing right now as he's clinging to Roland. Just trying to get his breathing and heartrate back under control as much as possible. Not letting go.
But rather than replying to any of the words Roland actually says, Inigo just mumbles: ]
You didn't tell me you got a new friend.
no subject
[ His hands don't stop rubbing against Inigo's back, gentle and firm all at once. ]
Sorry. I just forgot. He's Rannygazoo the Resolute. He hid in my heart for a long time, until we got a chance to save him from nightmares. I guess he just wanted you and I to be reunited faster. I'll tell him not to do that to you ever again, all right?
no subject
It's alright. I know he didn't mean to do harm. It's not as if he knew that the ride would make me very dizzy, so.. Please don't be stern with him.
[ Sure, the higgledy's methods were.. a tad unconventional, but isn't that the thing you could say about most higgledy behaviour? They tend to not exactly think in ways that most humans do, and Inigo is sure that Rannygazoo just really wanted to reunite them, and that's the quickest way he knew how to do it.
Inigo breathes out slowly, creating a bit of a pause before he speaks up again. ]
.. So you got two higgledies? I knew you were a very special man, father.
no subject
[ He doesn't seem to want to dislodge from Inigo either, movements equally stilled and minimal. ]
Not at all. I only have the one, pup. Bambosh never came from my heart. I only borrowed him for the time being. I figured having fire by my side would always come in handy, heh. [ He pulls back only slightly, just enough to rest his forehead against Inigo's. ] But the one who saved you...He's the only one I can understand. He's supposed to remind me of what it means to remain determined no matter what blocks my way.
[ The hands that rub his back slowly lower to hold Inigo's hand, where Roland then presses it against his beating heart. ] I guess I needed the reminder, after Nion. To keep going regardless of the obstacles. Yeah?
[ A reminder to them both. Or how symbolic it might be that Rannygazoo's knight form can destroy anything with it shield raised high above, knocking down walls that were separating them from one another. ]
no subject
It's strange how one name can immediately instill so many memories into Inigo, like a film reel playing before his eyes. Not that he himself had a particularly hard experience on Nion - nothing worse than anything he's endured before already, anyway - but what threatens to tear his heart apart is the reminder of at least three separate situations where Roland looked like he was about to break apart.
It's a look Inigo never wishes to see on his father's face ever again, if he can help it. ]
Of course. [ The words spill across his lips softly, the look in Inigo's eyes soft as well - but also pleading. Even though it's not like it sounds as if he has to convince Roland in this instant, Inigo can't help it at the sheer memory. ] You can't give up. No matter what happens. I'll never let you.
[ He'll drag Roland through anything himself, if that's what it takes. ]
no subject
[ Rannygazoo seems to react well to this declaration too, jumping up in between the two of them to rest in Inigo's arms, forcing the boy to carry him by the waist. But unlike Jumblie's excitement, moving about the ground in loud pitched squeals and laughs, Rannygazoo stays quiet and firm in his hold. ] Well. Would you look at that? Is he trying to tell you something, I wonder?
[ Roland is amused at the sight, but Rannygazoo talks to Inigo and only to Inigo this time around. ]
'Hiiiig. Young traveler, do not fall into melancholy. I will always catch you as you fall. I will protect you.'
[ It seems this is both a reflection of Roland's own feelings on the matter, and Rannygazoo's attempt at an apology. ]
no subject
.. especially when Rannygazoo tells him that, of all things. ]
Ah..
[ He figures. That it's not just the higgledy saying that. That those are the exact feelings that live inside of Roland's heart. The other has never been too shy about sharing those, after all.
Inigo smiles, moving the higgledy up a little, just so he can hug Rannygazoo against his chest. ]
You've got a pretty sweet buddy, father. [ He says, as if he isn't on to the fact that it was a sweet message from both Roland and Rannygazoo. ]
no subject
[ Roland finds the sight incredibly adorable, but to that end, all he does is pat Inigo's head once, lingering for a second, before he stands up and offers him the same hand to get him back to his feet. Looking around, with the remaining higgledy helpers happily minding their own business, it seems the shenanigans with the walls have paused for the time being. Yet they can't stay complacent. The moment of fondness passes, and Roland returns to his assumed role in a snap of a finger. ]
Pup, I'm sorry to rush you but I don't want this wall business to separate us again. We should keep moving. [ Roland looks to his higgledy in Inigo's arms, pointedly. ] Stay with him. If we get separated again, at least you'll know what to do...Gently, I hope. Please.
[ No more crazy Higgledy Rollercoasters please! ]
