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.

Kupooooo~

[Another plunging Jump through the water as the little moogle surges forward alongside the others at Cor's command. There's something a little different in her battlecry this time though: the joy of being part of the team, one of the Heroes~]

Looks like we've got it on the ropes!

[Selphie follows closely behind Bonnie and cranks the air tank to full blast with the intent of delivering another Spinning Strike to the creature's base in the hopes of taking it down completely.]

[charming_jerk]

Goddamnit... [That hurt, but it could have been a lot worse. And the creature got poisoned for attacking Johnny, so at least there was that.] Serves ya right.

[Johnny doesn't like how recklessly Reno is running at this thing, so to be safe, he casts a Virtuous Shield on him.]

[immortalmarshal]

Then let's end this!

[Cor swims forward to slash at its body one last time before dashing away again. He signals to Prompto:]

Finish it off!

[chocobosnap]

[He responds to Cor's order with a whistle.]

Hello, opening.

[He fired several shots, hoping to finish it off with Trigger Happy.]
