[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.

"I think it would be very difficult for most people here to kill me," he replied smoothly, smirking. A bit arrogant, perhaps, but then he was in a position to be arrogant. "And if I am in less danger than most here, then it seems fair that I be the one to wait with others until the danger has passed. Even if waiting is all that can be done."
withinsights: (it's never easy)

The city had no shortage of arrogant kids, seemed like. He wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not, but he'd feel better if there was something behind it.

"How'd you do that? Stop my arrow."

"Here, I believe they would call it a Meister ability." Talking was good, if it kept the guy distracted until the madness or whatever it was that was messing with him let up some. "Where I come from, however, it is similar to what is called an A.T. Field, the light of one's soul."
withinsights: then we can talk (need a drink stat)

Right, he'd heard about those. Briefly. Shiny new alien powers. "So if I tried that again, you'd be able to stop it?"

Hawkeye reached out with slow fingertips to retrieve his arrow, all in plain sight in an effort to ignore the urge to test the theory with rapid fire shots. But the implication of neutralization tempered the burst of violence lying in wait with an undercurrent of curiosity and a little hope. He didn't like killing kids.
