[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.

Yeah, Aranea noticed that right away too. She thought it was best to just ask straight out. "You're used to me. That's pretty unusual. Are there people like me in your world too?"

"Not really, no," he muttered honestly. While he didn't elaborate, the Judge didn't fall silent either as he said instead. "I have been here for quite a number of weeks now."

There weren't trolls in his world, far from it, but there were NEXT who could do rather extraordinary things with their bodies. Granted, while it was different from usual, the Judge hardly classified that as being the same as what she meant.
consider8: (Veeeeeeeery clever)

Aranea tilted her head. Well, if he wasn't going to elaborate, that was fine. She needed to focus on tending to the needy anyway.

"Alright." She stated pointedly. "Just point me where I need to go and I'll help."

And that was all there really was to say on the matter.

Nodding his head, the Judge made a gesture over towards a small area where a number of other volunteers were finishing off unpacking supplies. "There isn't much work as of this moment, but they will greatly appreciate your aid," Yuri offered before adding. "Once you're done there, you can check on the status of the patient that you brought in."

He would give the man a quick once-over after treating the wounds, but it appeared as though rest was the best form of medicine in that case.
