Event || Mysterious Fathoms Below

[eternitymods]

Who: All characters who signed up
When: June 23rd-25th
Where: Ka'Pandol, the underwater city
What: While the outworlders and their guides are touring the new arena at Ka'Pandol, the city begins to flood. It is up to them to activate the ancient drainage system beneath the city before the Blitzball Association is forced to cancel the upcoming tournament.



The Zora guide, Pharce, is leading the group from the Curti Center through the center of town, waxing poetical about the legend of the First Zora, when the sirens begin to wail. At first, the residents of Ka'Pandol wave it off as a drill, but the sirens do not stop, and as they walk, the visitor shoes are beginning to get soaked through with sea water that is slowly rising.

"Come along, quickly, all of you!" the guide calls, leading the group to the Bureau of Tourism near the city center. As they walk, the group will see the aquatic residents quickly deploying bubble helmets around their 'exotic' pets -dogs, cats, parrots, squirrels- heads, just in case City Management takes their time righting whatever issue the dome is having.

"Inside, please. Safety first is our motto, so let's get you outfitted," Pharce says, waiving them inside. Each person is given one of the patented Ka'Pandol Bubble Helm, which will allow them to breath comfortably for several hours. Those that cannot swim are issued an emergency life vest as well.

The water had reached knee-level now. An emergency evacuation message broadcasts from loudspeakers.

"Well, yes, you could...but where's the fun in that?"

Pharce waves at the Hypello gift shop owner, and the two bow their heads in discussion for a moment. When they part, Pharce pats the Hypello (whose nametag declares him 'Shtan') on the back.

"My good friend will lend us some of his wares, if you will join me in saving the city. We wouldn't want this little mishap to delay the big game, after all."

Those that agree to hold off on fleeing the city will be split into groups and given instructions on where to go in order to help the sinking city of Ka'Pandol.

[ In any other moment, he'd have been a lot more scared to be facing down a goddess. But he was surrounded by his friends, and he couldn't let them down! Noct and his friends, Kanji, Okuyasu, Castor... and all of his roommates: Adrien, Shiro, and Baiken.

So he was fine, he told himself. Voltron beat a god, once! They can do this. It's just a test! But then he sees Baiken's wounds open up, sees her run in and start swinging, and he gets mad, because his friend is bleeding, and she didn't need to be. Hunk charges in, shouting the closest he's ever done to a battle cry (and he can see why people do it, wow!) as he raises his combat fork for a-

Nope. He slipped in some of Baiken's blood and starts to stumble, about to faceplant into Leviathan herself. The upside is that something, likely the ephemeral Spirit of the Gourmand, nudges Hunk's subconscious. That battle shout quickly morphs into a Bite into the goddess of the seas.

A moment later, Hunk shoves himself away from Leviathan, nearly dropping his fork in the process, and... he just kinda stares into the abyss. As one does. Because he just did that. And he might even have a chunk of salty fish deity in his mouth. ]

(( worst part- Bite is stronger than Chop. Oops? ))

[wheretheresawill]

[Terra forces his thoughts away from whatever it is that Hunk's just done. It's actually harder for him to look away from Baikan. Is that Dark Knight? He's never seen it actually in use. The power of darkness...Can she control it?

But it's important to stay focused in battle, and Shiro's shouted instructions help him do just that. Moving to the front line where he'll hopefully be able to get between his companions and any attack sent by Leviathan, Terra wills his own Rampart into existence, reinforcing Shiro's.]

[nanaimo_bar]

[All these DPS and tanks, and one healer. Joy. And yet, Nanamo's staff brightened up like a star as she proclaimed,] PROTECT!

[Shields formed around everyone as she continued her reinforcing of them. As Rampart was being put up in response to weather the storm.]

[eternitymods]

[Time seems to slow as the wave washes over the chamber. As each of the outworlders deliver their show of strength, Leviathan does not try to dodge their strikes. The blows fall, and as each does, the outworlder will hear Leviathan’s voice in their head, assessing.]

Gladiolus, Ravus & Noctis

ONE WHO PERSERVERES AND FIGHTS THROUGH THY PAIN. STRENGTH THROUGH SACRIFICE.


Hunk

[When Hunk Bites Leviathan, the Eidolon flickers out of physical manifestation for a moment in disgust. Then, thinking better of it, she phases back into physical manifestation, allowing Hunk to come away with a mouth full of scales. They do not grant any bonuses when eaten, but they are very sharp. She blasts him back to the wall with a jet of water.]

IMPUDENCE! HOW DARE THOU PLACE THINE MOUTH UPON A GOD!


Terra

ONE WHO SHIELDS THINE ALLIES. THE STRENGTH THAT WILL HOLD THE FRONT LINE AGAINST THINE FOES.

Nanamo

THE STRENGTH TO SUPPORT THINE ALLIES AND RELY ON THEM IN TURN. A BRAND OF BRAVERY ALL ITS OWN, TO STAND BEFORE A FOE ONE CANNOT FIGHT.

[Overall, the feeling projected through Leviathan's wave as it washes over the group and dissipates is that she is Pleased with the strength that has been shown to her.]
