[OPEN] Mission 155
Characters: Open to those who signed up here.
Location: An unmarked cavern system outside Death City.
Rating: Various.
Time: March 18th, sunrise.
Description: Shibusen agents brave underwater caverns to take out the first of three Madness emitters.
Missiongoers pile out of the mirrors early in the morning, just as the first hints of sun start to color the walls of the sandstone canyon red and purple; it'll be the last bits of real light they'll see for at least a few hours. The atmosphere is electric -- there're quite a few new (and old) arrivals who're eager to see some action, but just as many people who're feeling rather more apprehensive… And for good reason.
The only way to their destination is blocked by a few hundred yards of sunken tunnels. Luckily they've been provided with mouthpieces, breathing apparatuses with enough oxygen to last about ten minutes: more than enough time, provided that the guests don't lose their way in the dimly-lit, twisted caverns. It's as easy as following the person in front of them, right?
Upon emerging safely from the pool onto mostly-dry land, they'll find themselves in an immense cavern, illuminated by countless, blue fungi clinging to the walls and ceiling, looking like stars dotting a night sky. Already the first signs of the way Madness has been corrupting the wildlife are evident: the mushrooms exude strange spores that make some people's head pound the same way the increasingly noticeable Madness wavelength does.
As they travel further into the watery caves and explore its many branches, they'll begin to encounter creatures twisted by Madness: moles, snakes, beetles, centipedes, all grown to monstrous proportions, some with a venomous bite that quickly turns their victim feverish and delirious. The more daring fighters can easily dispatch those and delve even deeper, and it's near the source of the Madness, in the chamber housing the emitter itself, that they'll encounter the kishin eggs.
There're dozens of them-- eyeless, white, vaguely human-shaped things, but despite their blindness they have no problem finding their quarry, fighting with claws and exuding their own Madness wavelength. If the missiongoers can stand strong against the kishin eggs and the ever-present wavelength given off by the Madness emitter, Shibusen's specialists will have enough time to shut the machine down for good.
OOC NOTES.
- The event summary post containing all relevant links is located here.
- Make your own threads, but please indicate in your subject line [CHARACTER(S) | LOCATION | OPEN/CLOSED] and, if applicable, if you need a kishin egg NPC!
- The locations are the sunken tunnels, the medics area, the cave system, and the emitter chamber, but only the medics will have their designated sub-thread.
- If you have any further questions, the mod thread on the coordination post is here!

Aim for the eyes. If you put them out, this will go much quicker.
Sion did have a beak on the end of the falcon head that could work great for that, if used properly.
no subject
For someone who's normal powers relied on line of sight, Akiha was well aware of how effective blinding tactics were. Regaining her feet, Akiha darted forward to strike at it's head but had to jump to the side and off the stone wall to avoid a very large paw with claws that looked slimy.
The cavern in this tunnel was too narrow to properly maneuver in. Akiha was going to have to figure out some way to get close since it looked like she wasn't going to be able to flank it
no subject
You have two options. You can slowly retreat or force the animal to do something drastic. The later is more risky.
no subject
Troublesome things eventually went away on their own but it took time. The way to make them end quickly was to act. That, of course, didn't mean it would lead to a solution, but it would end the situation. So, Akiha shifted her grip to her right hand only, just a few inches past center toward the falcon head to offset the balance issue Sion had in her weapon form. She had just enough room in the tunnel to start to twirl the staff, letting the forked end whip over and over before her.
Gritting her teeth, she steadily advanced on the bear. She needed it to feel threatened. Akiha might not have access to her demon blood here thanks to that damned machine, but that didn't stop her from being what she was. Underneath it all, she was a predator. She needed this bear to realize that fact.
Akiha wasn't sure if it was working or not, so she feinted a lunge once she got close enough, the staff still twirling in her single-handed grip, and that was enough. The bear reared up, bone protruding from its back up over its shoulders scraping part of the rock walls. It towered several feet over Akiha, but it gave her room to work.
Immediately stopping the staff and bracing it under her arm, ready to parry with, Akiha drove her left hand right into the bear's abdomen, now exposed to her, under its ribs as if it was a person she was hitting. Clearly, anyone watching would think her insane as such a strike wouldn't be able to do anything to a bear, but Akiha wasn't striking to inflict pain. She struck to absorb using her Meister ability.
The bear let out a wounded sound that, had Akiha been the type of girl to care, would've pained the heart and energy surged through the Meister. Akiha vaguely wondered if Sion would feel any of the whole process through their link as she's never actually used her ability with Sion in hand.
The bear lurched to the side as it recovered, leaving just enough room for someone as fast as Akiha to get through. Now she was behind the bear and the narrow tunnel would work in their favor, making it hard for the bear to turn around.
no subject
But she was confused when Akiha used her ability. The feeling was odd enough since she hadn't experienced it before. No, she doubted she would ever get used to it. It felt very....vampiric.
But that thought was instantly shut out as it would interfere with the current issue.
I am impressed. Good job.
no subject
Converting that stolen energy into her strike, she brought the falcon head of the staff down powerfully on the bear's spine where it looked vulnerable. Now they'd find out if their damage capacity was high enough.
no subject
Good...
no subject
And felt. Akiha gave a small pleased smile as she followed up with a pivot and second strike, trying to hit the exact same spot again. From the way the bear's weight was after the first one, she believed a second strike would put it flat on the ground before them.
no subject
It may be finished.
no subject
"..."
Now she felt stupid, having let her nerves get the better of her. That had been an unnecessary strike.
She was just going to poke it again with Sion to make sure it was dead...
no subject
Do your own dirty work, Akiha.
Sion clearly did not like being used as a prodding stick. Weapon, she was okay with. Walking stick, she might deal. A stick, no never.
no subject
I think it's dead.
no subject
Can I transform back into what I should properly be now?
no subject
"That went faster than I was expecting."
no subject
"It was either skill or beginner's luck."
no subject
Akiha picked her way over the bear to get in front of it again. She knelt down to get a better look at its head now that it's not snarling and trying to eat her face.
"Do you think it'll revert back into a normal-looking bear now that it's dead or just stay like this? I don't know how these Madness mutations are supposed to work."
no subject
"I do not wish to speculate on matters I have little knowledge on so I will leave that to you."
no subject
"I'm glad those didn't get me. They look poisonous with whatever that secretion is."
no subject
"That will be decided later. If it is poisonous, depending on it's effects, we could put it to use."

Leaving the bear where it is, Akiha starts back toward the main branch of the tunnel to move onto the next area they'd been assigned.
no subject
"I do have an acceptable answer but the focus it would require would take away from the focus you need on this mission!"
Of course, she hoofed it after Akiha, not wanting her and her explanation to be left behind.
