[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.

"Really~?" she made sure to only tease him a bit, because they had to focus. And while he was right - they couldn't get behind them, they could come from above, down, sides or front - after all, this place was like a maze from every angle and Saya didn't know about the enemy's abilities to dig.

"Something moved, up ahead." Saya frowned.
naniwarocky: (Tch)

[personal profile] naniwarocky 2012-09-05 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Tch. Yes really." He was still maintaining his focus pretty well. And when she said something moved up ahead, he stopped in his tracks and stood there.

"Listen for it again." He was doing the same thing, and he was on guard in case whatever it was suddenly rushed them. If it didn't come at them, they would just have to go at it.

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-09-07 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
She went silent, listening; it was difficult, since there were other people at other tunnels fighting. However, she did hear something eventually.

"It's like a crawling sound..." Saya focused "Do you want to go check it out?"
naniwarocky: (Heh!)

[personal profile] naniwarocky 2012-09-13 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course I do. Not like we have much of a choice in the matter, anyway." They had to go this way. So they would eventually run into whatever it was whether they wanted to or not. At least this way, they might be able to spring some sort of preemptive strike on it..

He starts to move forward once again.

It's not really hard to find the source of the noise; giant bugs tend to be very noticeable. In this case, a giant centipede.

Saya gasps when she sees it, and she would have replayed in her head all the information she had on these bugs, but she was a bit too busy to care; it was disgusting. And it was huge and set on attacking them, too. No time to be a scholar, right now.
naniwarocky: (Hm?)

[personal profile] naniwarocky 2012-09-17 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Alright. Sendo knew that the things here might be messed with by the madness, but a giant centipede? He didn't expect that. But he wasn't freaking out, despite this large creepy crawly before them.

He held her up and started firing off shots at the centipedes head..at least he thinks that is its head.

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-09-19 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Normal shots came from Saya's weapon form; no use using the melting-type at the moment since she wasn't sure if it'd work on these animals hard exterior.

They were enough to perforate the thing, but also enough to piss it off even more.
naniwarocky: (Calm)

[personal profile] naniwarocky 2012-09-28 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
Sendo quickly rolled out of the things reach when it seemed like they were within its attack range. He raised Saya up and fired a few more times, but this time he aimed the shots at its legs in hopes of making it less mobile.

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-09-30 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It was good enough to hold it back, yes. Saya focused on keeping the resonance as she shot the bullets, and at the same time focused on trying to figure out a way to kill the thing. The bullets were strong enough to perforate it, so it was probably the best to aim towards the head.

"Sendo, shoot the head, don't hold back!"
naniwarocky: (212561)

[personal profile] naniwarocky 2012-10-09 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Sendo focused as best as he could, so that she wasn't only using her own wavelengths for the attack. He took aim at its head and started to fire again. He knew bugs had carapace, at its current size he hadn't been sure if the bullets would even go through it.

Eventually, the many shots did go through and hit the bug. Saya did tell Sendo to keep shooting, hoping that the bug would fall down after the many shots to its head.

eventually, it did, to saya's happiness "Yes!"
naniwarocky: (Starin' 2)

[personal profile] naniwarocky 2012-10-13 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
When Sendo sees that it has fallen down, he walks over to the bug and pokes at it a bit with the barrel of Saya's gun form.

"..Just how many more of these things is there gonna be in here?"

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-10-13 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know." Saya looked around. "There are a lot of animals that can be mutated." too many, honestly. Sendo would probably disagree. "Let's keep moving. Maybe we can find a kishin egg."
naniwarocky: (Heh!)

[personal profile] naniwarocky 2012-10-14 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Alright." Sendo brought Saya up and rested her against his shoulder again. "But if they are all like this thing, clearing out this place will be a piece of cake."

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-10-16 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Let's see if you can keep up, right?" she was just teasing him, really.
naniwarocky: (Smirk)

[personal profile] naniwarocky 2012-10-17 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Tch. When it comes to kicking ass, there is no one that I can't keep up with." He starts the trek forward once more, ready to take on anything else that this cave had to offer.

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-10-18 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hopefully a kishin egg." she actually prefers them to mutated bugs. Saya again regains her focus, ready to spot anything out of the ordinary that might attack them.

As they go deeper, she begins to notice that itch at the back of her skull, that paranoia growing and that uncertainty setting in. Madness.
naniwarocky: (Not taking this seriously)

[personal profile] naniwarocky 2012-10-20 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
"It'll go down just as easily as that bug." Sendo stays ever on the ready, even as the level of madness in the area starts to grow. He can definitely feel a sort of difference in this area than the previous one that they had just been in.
