[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.

second_star: (No big deal.)

Hmm...[ She was right. Those monsters would have been easy for him to take care of. They looked like some of the more standard ones back home. But, he's not the meister here, you know? ]

You aren't me, though. Simple as that. You've never fought a monster before, right? Then this is pretty impressive. Especially since just three weeks ago, you didn't know how to use a sword, either.
entreats: (so you should just accept fabrications)

[personal profile] entreats 2012-09-19 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ N-not like she wanted to be complimented by him or anything, okay..!! ]

That's only about the ability to adapt. If I wouldn't be able to use a sword, I'd be pretty screwed in these kind of situations. And I'm not exactly planning on letting me be killed in a place like this.
second_star: (You'd be surprised.)

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-19 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I can get that. I'm not gonna go down here either.

Anyway, let's head back. What do you want me to make you for dinner when we get home?
entreats: (just a single drop of tear)

[personal profile] entreats 2012-09-20 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
First killing monsters, then talking about dinner right after.. I wonder what my life has become. [ But even though her tone was the usual, there was something more in that thought - her life really had changed, huh? But.. not for the worse. ]

I'd be fine with anything, honestly. We've hardly eaten with the mission going on today, so I could eat anything right about now.
second_star: (You'd be surprised.)

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-20 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You better start throwing some ideas before we're both too hungry to think of anything. We don't want a repeat of your mystery meat pie, now do we?
entreats: (are you coming out tonight)

[personal profile] entreats 2012-09-22 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't anything like that, did you even pay attention while you tried to eat it? [ she sighed and there was almost something grumpy about it, really. ] Besides, I get it, my cooking is pretty bad. No need to rub it in.
second_star: (Beddy bye time.)

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-22 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
You're getting better, don't worry. [ There was still a bit of a laughing tone in his voice. ]

Let's have some potato soup. I could go for that right now. We can sandwiches with it.
entreats: (all this time for you)

[personal profile] entreats 2012-09-23 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds fine to me.

[ She reached the end of the caves by now, back at the part where they had entered. Slowly Ange glanced down at the sword. ]

.. So, are you going to turn back yet? I'm not going to carry you around forever.
second_star: (P-p-poker face.)

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? Maybe I like you holding me. [ Said with a completely straight faced, serious tone.
entreats: (and do the same to the thread)

[personal profile] entreats 2012-09-23 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... Seriously, this guy.. why randomly just say stuff like that at a moment like this?! She was tempted to just drop the sword, but that would be too much like letting him win.. ]

That joke isn't even funny. [ Please let him be joking, please let him be joking.. ]
second_star: (You know it.)

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm serious. [ Still in the same tone. ]
entreats: (when you feel like promising me that)

WHAT IS THAT FACE EVEN

[personal profile] entreats 2012-09-23 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ .. oh dammit. ]

Are you really..? But, t-.. that's..
second_star: (Oh...well...)

1/3

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...
second_star: (Hmph.)

2/3

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
second_star: (Sure thing.)

3/3

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm joking. [ boom. ]
entreats: (are supposed to be the truth)

[personal profile] entreats 2012-09-23 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...

Dropping the sword on the ground right there and stomping off towards the exit of the caves. ]


You're a moron! To think I actually trusted you, seriously..!
second_star: (Oh come on~)

[personal profile] second_star 2012-09-23 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ With a clank, he felt to the ground, as she began to stop towards the exit. Jeez, guess he took it a little too far. With a chuckle, he transformed back, walking after. ]

Sorry, sorry. Forgive me, I beg of you. [ He said, all behind that teasing laugh of his. She was definitely too easy to mess around with, but...her reactions were kind of cute. He'd admit that much.

Having a partner was pretty fun after all.
