The Master found this girl's slight servitude to be somehow amusing. But the woman hidden in black didn't seem to want to say anything about it. No, in fact she wasn't even phased by this young woman's shock. The words, that she'd been summoned by the woman made her jump back, allowing the door to open a bit wider as she held an arm up in front of her person to demonstrate her surprise that she'd been the one to summon the girl wearing the unicorn mask. "Did I? Oh well... I don't want anything." she said reaching forward to slam the door in the young girl's face. After the thud was heard she'd wait a total of three seconds before opening it up again. "I'm kidding. Come in... I finally figured out what I need from you. And I have something for you... well technically a couple of somethings." she said moving away from the now open door to let the girl enter without any further teasing.

She watched her masters bizarre actions before having the door slam in her face. She could only be puzzled for a brief moment, before the door reopened, this time it'd seem her master was done toying with her. Though she'd served under her for quite sometime, the only thing she knew about her master is that she was unpredictable and outlandish. She let out a small sigh as she followed The Master into her office. As she walked she continued to listen as she was spoken to.
She perked up at the trail of her masters last sentence, "It would be an offer I'll be glad to accept." She stopped in the middle of the room to wait for a response.

"That's weird, you totally shouldn't accept before you know what it is." the Master spoke these words as she took her seat back in her chair then kicked up her feet, leaving the chair balancing on its back two legs. She seemed to have something she needed to discuss with the girl in the mask, and she'd get to it in due time. "To be honest... I could disappear. Fade into nothingness... without any notice." she said. These words were completely neutral from cloaked woman. Of course, she knew this would probably be shocking information for the scarlet haired young woman, she also knew for a fact that the girl could take it as a joke. "And when that happens you'll need this." she said. But there was much more to be discussed than that. Soon the cloaked woman held out her right hand in front of her materializing a Keyblade in a flash of light. This Keyblade was different; a white color pattern with a unicorn at its guard, a black handle, surrounded by cloud designs. It has Terra's Mark near its tip, and spiky teeth featuring a dark blue crescent. Its chain and trinket both share the star-like flower motif of its blade, and its trinket holds a Gazing Eye. "Take this. Go ahead, it won't bite. Quite the opposite most times~" she mentioned with a bit of a chuckle, as she waited for the girl to accept this inheritance.

The scarlet-haired child would choose not to give a reaction to the first bit her Master spoke, more so to keep from walking into another trick. Yet she could help but speak when the Master spoke of fading, though Masa knew better than to believe something so foolish. The young girl giggled, "You're the strongest of all...", she paused before finishing her sentence this time her tone was softer than before, "And even if you were to disappear, I'm sure all of us as a whole would notice." The stun from her Master's previous sentence was completely worn off before she was presented with a peculiar Keyblade. She locked eyes with it as if it were calling out to her.
Masa walked over to the Master, and hesitated a moment before grasping it in her hand. She held it up to get a better view of her gift. She couldn't even say words of thanks with how astonished she was at receiving such a valuable gift. She regained herself then spoke properly, "Master...I love it and I'm grateful but is this okay?" She didn't question this out of disrespect but out of slight disbelief. She gazed at the Keyblade for a moment before lowering her hand to her side. She turned her attention the Master once more, "Master?"

"Well, I mean... if you're gonna stroke my ego, I shouldn't stop you~" the Master chimed. She, realized that this girl and likely most of the others would think her the strongest of them and this was true. But in this moment there was still more to say. "Oh? Planning ahead to the just in case part? That's nice, it's good... it's kind of your job now anyways~" said the woman behind the cloak. "That's just like you Masa... hmm.. but we can't call you that now that you're officially a Master. Just like me...." she said as the girl looked over her gift, which was the crowning achievement of her day. Moving right along the girl seemed to wonder if she should accept the gift and the Master simply drew back both her hands in mock disbelief. "What? Of course you can accept it, if you didn't... then I'd have to keep it... I dun wanna." she said wiping away fake tears. "Though... I should be fair." the woman said as she allowed the weight of the chair to shift so that she'd fall forward and soon shift to her feet with no warning. "That Keyblade comes with a few perks and responsibilities." she mentioned as she began pacing.

"The responsibilities first, they're a bit annoying... you're a Master now... so you get a new name... let's call you... Ira. Yea... Master Ira. And Master Ira, it will be your responsibility to build a Union under the name of your Keyblade there, Unicornis. You also have to take this book." she said walking by her desk and picking up a copy which had a color motif which matched the girl's mask and had on the cover an interesting picture of multiple layered things and a unicorn insignia. "We'll call that , the Book of Prophecies. And you now have a copy. It tells the future... you can use it to help you better lead your union. It will tell you the future events of this place..." she said seemingly amused by the information. "Oh, and if I disappear. You'll be in charge of the others. So you gotta remember what's important. Keep the balance. No affiliations or alliances between different unions okay, you have to keep the power balanced. Think of it as a game which leads to friendly competition... but never co-operative, as far as unions are concerned. I am going to tell the others this too, but it's a necessity." she said the importance of that final point couldn't be stressed. "May your heart be your guiding key." she said with a bow to her newly crowned master. "Oh... any questions about all that stuff... it was kind of a lot I know. If you have none, you can totally just go, test out your new Keyblade, or read that book... I know you wanna."

Masa picked up the book listening to her Maters words. Other than the teasing she knew trying to argue would be pointless. She understood the word of the Master, after all she had been training for this day, yet she never thought of this. She flashed the Keybalde away, while gripping the book tightly to her chest she bowed. Though she was tempted to look through the book she giggled and replied before bowing again then departing, "As tempting as that is, I'd rather grow accustom to this Keyblade, after all a blade is worth more on the battlefield." and with this she took her leave, closing the door behind her.
As she walked she heard her Masters voice echo in her head as she play the words over and over again. She glanced down at the book in her hand one last time before making her way back to tell every one in her train group, her soon to be new union. The Unicornis.

It seemed the girl understood her place in life. Of course, the Master expected this, because the Master expected everything. Even so, she was happy apparently to see the girl take to her new role so well. Even so, she turned as the girl left, apparently to go and use her new Keyblade and begin building her Union. Now, the Master needed to call another. A blue haired man muscular and rather large. His motif that of a bear and coincidentally enough it was the next book in her stack. So a summons was sent out for a young man named, Akira and the Master would go back to her work, as she waited for this one to arrive as well. "It's a bit shameful, doing all this. But still... kinda fun." she said mostly to herself as the other girl had already left her presence.

Some time later, a great hulk of an adult male came wandering into the Master of Masters' study within the clock tower. His long blue locks cascaded over a coat which this man simply had draped over his bare torso, revealing an array of tribal tattoos along his form. As he stepped into the Master's study without any form of hesitance or announcement of his presence beforehand, he began stroking his goatee, wondering what these summons could have been for. "Master. You summoned me?" he asked. For one reason or another, this man showed no signs of wearing the robes and mask previously given to him, and simply approached the Master of Masters as a pedestrian of sorts.

"Oh?" the woman spun around in her chair as her next appointment entered the room without so much as announcing himself. Of course, the Master, expected this, and the playful woman couldn't help but comment on this. "No knocking for you, huh? No worries if the Master was indecent. I could have been exposed, Akira!~" she chided. Whether or not this was serious couldn't be said immediately. It seemed the woman was somewhat furious as she stood, and walked before this blue haired man. And then rather suddenly brought into laughter. "You grew a goatee, Akira?~ Well, I suppose I've seen worse, that's a nice piece of man-patch you got there. Are ya' aiming to impress, some special lady?" she finally asked. Of course this had nothing at all to do with what the woman wanted, but it was a conversation to be had. "Also your clothes and mask, are they at the cleaners?" She knew she'd given him robes just like the ones she'd given the others. As well as a mask, which he should now be wearing, after all, if he didn't do this... how would he be able to take his new title and role.

01-31-2017, 11:07 AM

"... Master. What exactly would have been exposed on you? None of us even know what you look like," the man, apparently named Akira, stated. The habitual stroking of his goatee came to a halt when it was addressed by the Master, and though he intended to respond to her query, he was forced to pause again when she mentioned his robes and mask. "I err... no. Master, I've always had this. As for the clothes... I ripped them. They were too tight, and the mask didn't seem right without the rest. Sorry."

Apollymi

01-31-2017, 11:18 AM

"That isn't exactly true." the Master said at the mention that no one knew what she looked like. There was at least one who knew, or would know what she looked like but that was another matter entirely. As she finally stood from her chair she began walking casually through her laboratory, checking on a couple of experiments which should be about ready by the time of her later afternoon arrangements. Of course, when it was stated that he already had the 'man-patch' she'd so recently brought into question she knew the answer about it. "Oh? Is that so... well, I never noticed before." she said of his facial hair incident. Before she had to address the issue with his clothing. His apology made her laugh, and a minor giggle soon erupted into a full on laugh session, complete with the cloaked woman clutching her side. As she imagined the state which would have caused the man to rip his robes. "Hahahahaha~" she started. "That's hilarious... might wanna lay off the workouts for a while." she said of the ripped robes as if they didn't matter. "Or you know... I could have given you your robes in the right size to begin with." she mentioned with a sudden seriousness which could be considered startling.

Still she walked back over to her work bench and picked up the robes for the man with the bear like personality and offered them up in a neatly folded pile. "I really didn't bring you here for these. But since you're here, you might as well have them." she said of the robes which she was going to replace at some point for the young man, so as not to let him suffer her deviousness. "I am going to miss doing stuff like this... when I fade. Or maybe I won't... don't really know what it's like yet." she said in an off-handed manner. Eventually, she'd have to get to why she summon this young man, and she would... in due time.

"... Eh?" he said after a brief pause. It was his understanding that the Master was nothing more than a silhouette to all who met her, including her own six pupils. To know that this was untrue was simply mind-boggling. "Wait, you mean one of us has seen you!? But I wanna!" he said. Soon after, he was gifted with a set of robes in their proper size, prompting him to discard the coat on his shoulders and don the robes instead. The mask of the bear, he pulled from his hip to wear when fitted with the robes to complete the ensemble. "Thanks, but... why didn't my old ones fit if you knew my size?" he inquired. There was a certain wideness gained in this man's eyes when the Master spoke of her possible, probable, but unsure disappearance in an unknown future, but he was honestly more confused than anything about this. "What do you mean fade? Have you been talking to the Moogles? Those guys will put weird stuff in your head, y'know?"

01-31-2017, 11:45 AM

"Yes, one of you has, or will see me. And no it won't be you." she said with all the loving inclination of a true Master. "Also, you can want to do a lot of things... but it doesn't mean you can or should." said the woman about seeing her face at any point during this interaction or in the future. Of course, there was also the question of why his clothes didn't fit the first time, if she knew what his size was. A chuckle came from the woman. "I wanted you to rip them and then have to explain to me why you weren't wearing them. I had to be sure." she said... which was probably very strange. Moving right along, it seemed that this young man was also curious about what she said about fading, it made her twist her chair before she fell back into it. "Ah... well. One day I might just disappear. Ya' know... vanish without a trace. Nothing to be done about it... " she said with no real explanation as to how or why such a thing would happen. "But it's not all bad, if that happens, you'll need this..." she mentioned opening her hand in front of her and calling a Keyblade to it. Its handle is grayish-brown, much like the edge of the blade and the etching of a bear within its dark teal guard. The large blade on this Keyblade resembles the opening of a bear-like creature's mouth, and Terra's Mark can be seen along the side of the blade. Its Keychain consists of three red gems, and its token is a bulky talisman with a Gazing Eye inside. "Though... ya' gotta be nice if ya' get it. It comes with a task... well technically a couple of tasks." She mentioned this and then immediately continued for the coming questions. "You'll have to start the Ursus Union. Ya' know, gather yourself some like minded individuals, protect the balance and whatnot. No doing anything rash, like making unnecessary alliances with the other unions I am gonna have form. Ya' gotta be competative, but not co-operative. It's the only way to protect the balance. Also... you personally... you'll have to support your new leader, if I disappear. It's Masa... well... she's Master Ira now. If you accept... you'll be... Master Aced and I'll give you a book that will tell ya' the future. What'cha think?"

"Then who..." he began, only to let the thought fade. He was quite sure that, if the Master was being secretive about her appearance in any way, then she also wouldn't be revealing the name of the one person who knew. He had no clue why the woman wanted to fish out his admittance of tearing the undersized robes, but now that he had fitting ones, he didn't much care either. The Keyblade summoned by the Master had quite a bit of appeal as well, being one of an even heavier model than his, which he was sure had already been the largest to date. Such a thing fit perfectly into his preference, though it was still a bit surprising to discover that this was actually his new weapon. "That doesn't sound very likely, but..." No matter the chances of the Master's disappearance, he took the Keyblade in hand. This was done only for him to immediately hear the requirements that came with it, involving the creation of a Union separate from the others, and the supporting of a potential new leader in the form of a 16-year old girl. "Masa? Leader? Wouldn't someone like Sion make more sense? I mean, he's done so much already."

It seemed this young man was fine not questioning his robes any further and doubted the likelihood of the Master disappearing at all. She couldn't be so sure of this herself, but at the very least, she'd properly kept the young man before her from questioning her appearance any further. But she was met with a bit of resistance, if only to her choice in leader. To the Master's credit, she saw this one coming a mile away, and kicked her feet up onto her desk as she began to explain, crossing them at the ankles as her first syllables were uttered. "Look, I know all that Sion's done, and that's great. Really, I of all people can appreciate his work. But that kind of work and drive, don't necessarily make for good leadership. He could fall way too far into his research or studies to ever get anything done. And while, I am all for expansions of techniques I don't think he'd want to be tied to such a thing. I have a different role in mind for him, one I think he will prefer." she said of one of her more stellar students. "Besides, the young Master Ira, has plenty of qualities which will make her a good leader. She's spirited, thoughtful... and respectful. Something leaders have to be... to hear out everyone's opinion and make just decisions." she said with a knowing smile hidden in the shadows of her robe. She went about the next part of her explanation while allowing her arms to cross over her chest. "But... little Master Ira will need help, because though she is strong, her will to act is sometimes clouded by her respectful nature. She's young... and thus a bit inexperienced, but the best way to get that is on the job. She'll need someone like you to help push her forward from time to time... and keep her on the right track." mentioned the Master. "And who knows... if she falls too far to be picked back up... you may be required to step up and take her place. Which is of course, your true role as her supporter." the devious woman mentioned with the slightest hint of foreboding in her voice. "If you are even in doubt about it... may your heart be your guiding key, Master Aced." she added sitting back once more but extending one arm to offer the book she'd picked up... complete with a bear motif on the front and matching the robes this man had so recently donned. "Questions? Comments? Constructive criticisms... inconsolable lamenting over my impending doom?"

01-31-2017, 12:23 PM

"Hmm. I guess that all makes sense. Then again, who am I to judge anyway?" the male asked in rhetoric. Having provided his opinion, and received the Master's in response, he understood the woman's will at the very least. All that remained was the understanding of his own role, which came with an additional kink that he wasn't quite fond of as a possibility. On the other hand, he felt he could fulfill this role somehow, so he took this book that apparently allowed one to know of the future. "I will do what I can, Master. And, no... I have no questions, nor do I think you'll be suffering any sort of doom. Farewell," he said, taking his leave of the Master's study thereafter.

"Aww, I really thought I'd get him with that one." she said as the newly crowned Master Aced left her presence. It would be then that a small noise would be heard, but she wouldn't acknowledge it. Instead she'd begin writing a new page in the middle of her own Book of Prophocies and while she waited, another of her apprentices would arrive. This one, was much more respectful than the one who'd been here previously. She had white hair hidden under a hood. She was wearing a white leopard mask and a pale yellow hooded cloak over a yellowish-tan robe, shirt, and sash, each with dark grey embroidering. Her shirt is worn beneath her cloak, is fastened by the sash, and has long sleeves that extend slightly past her wrists. The tassels on the front of the cloak are light blue in coloration. She'd knock on the door swiftly a couple of times. waiting to be acknowledged. "Come on in, Temperance~" the Master would speak causing this young woman to enter. This young woman would enter the room, and begin walking towards her Master as the woman furiously scribbled in the book. "What are you writing?" she asked as she peeked over the cloaked woman's shoulder. She had an innate curiosity about books and as such she wanted to see what was being written. This would cause the Master to turn around and playfully swat at the girl. "Uh-uh... no peeking~" she said while leaving a copy of the book open on a page she then ripped out much to the girl's dismay. "But Master? Why?" she asked. Seemingly stunned by the display. "Oh... well... that is for you. I have a copy of that book for you too... but... it doesn't have this page. This page is special. Still wanna read it?" she asked of the girl. Her green eyes, nearly glowed with excitement beneath the mask. "Of course..." she mentioned, which would cause the cloaked woman to hand it over. This would cause the girl, to immediately begin reading the page, scanning it for important information and what she read there she found... utterly disturbing. "Master? Is this really true? We are going to have someone among us... betray all of us?" she said. Such information about future events was quite dangerous indeed and she didn't know why the Master had bothered sharing it with her. "Of course it's true. I have a book here for you, called the Book of Prophecies. I've been handing it out to all of my pupils, without this page of course... but I gave it to you... because I have a special task for you." she offered young woman, while leaving her to dangle in suspense.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in town, a girl with raven tresses and dressed a bit like a deranged green feathered savage was walking about the streets. She didn't seem to have any particular aim written into her face. A face dotted with a single beauty mark under her left eye. There was something different about this girl, something which seemed a bit ominous, though she wasn't particularly powerful in any way. She was wandering a bit aimlessly but here, that seemed to be fine.

The black-haired lass walking around Daybreak Town was a strange sight to behold indeed. Nearby, there was a male figure clad in the same form of black coat worn by the Master of Masters, though there was the obvious presence of long, dark brown locks protruding from beneath the hood. This male sat upon the edge of a fountain in the middle of town, seeming to have nothing in particular catch his eye. Such was the case until the passing girl appeared, prompting him to raise his head and look in her direction for reasons unknown. 'Hmm...'

Apollymi

01-31-2017, 01:22 PM

"Master, it isn't fair to leave me in this state." the young woman mentioned as she tried to hold back her potential excitement and wait for the coming explanation. The cloaked woman seemed to be a bit in a huff thereafter, finding it annoying that she'd been properly unable to get under the white haired young woman's skin. "Ah, I see. Just gonna not take my bait, hm? Gonna leave me to explain myself? That's kinda messed up Temperance... but... it's also the reason you were chosen for this task specifically." said the woman as she took great pause and reached outward with her empty right hand. In doing so she'd cause the appearance of a Keyblade, with a blue handle. It looked as if it was made for lightning based attacks and included a leopard head at its guard and a gazing eye attached to its Keychain. She held the glowing blade in the small girl's direction with her hand open. "Take it, it's yours and you'll need it." she said the girl eye it suspiciously, but she would not turn down a gift from her master. "Look, at some point in the future, there will be talks of treachery among the Unions. You'll be making one of those too, Leopardos if you hadn't noticed your own theme there." she said. "But I digress." she said as the girl inspected the Keyblade she'd taken. "You'll need to independently search for the person who is your traitor, and interpret the meaning of this book. That is your role, apart from running your Union and maintaining the balance. I am sure you'll be quite in love with the Book of Prophecies for quite a while. But remember, among your peers, you need to trust only yourself, as you obviously won't be the traitor. You're way too level headed for that. And remember to avoid alliances it will cause the entire system of balance to crumble. Okay?" she said to the girl who nodded her understanding of this situation. "I understand Master. I will do my best to look into this book. And I see by this page, that you might disappear, I hope that part isn't true. But if it is... I hope you find your way back." she mentioned as she banished her most recently acquired Keyblade and held the book tucked under one arm giving a bow. The Master, was amazed by this girl's astuteness and obviously this was why she was chosen for the task she'd been given. "Master Gula, that's your new name by the way. The one for your leadership, can't have everyone calling ya' by your good name. May your heart be your guiding key." said the Master as she finished up. "Yes, farewell Master." she said. Then the young woman then left a bit excitedly with the book and the Lost Page in hand. This would move the Master right along to the summoning of her next target, or rather another of her apprentices by the name of Hiro.

Meanwhile the girl crossed the main square and found a man sitting on the fountain there. She couldn't see him, his face was obscured by a dark cloak the likes of which she'd never seen before, but, that really wasn't her concern. No, what she saw, was tufts of long brown hair escaping the monotony of the darkness surrounding this young man's face. And it took only a moment for her purple eyes to begin searching for something in that darkness. Alas, she couldn't peer any further into it... 'Huh?' she mentally questioned. She could almost assume this man was staring back at her through the darkness, but... that couldn't be right? As such she simply kept up her pace, soon averting her gaze wondering about this single moment of contact.

Several moments after the raven-haired girl passed the hooded figure, she would find herself in the very same predicament. That same male figure would be sat before her again, looking in her direction the same way he had been before. In fact, she may or may not have noticed in this moment that the scenery was the same as well. Even though she had bypassed him at the fountain, her path would have somehow led back to the same location, whether she moved in a circular pattern or not...

It was during this period of time that another of the Master of Masters' apprentices approached the study. This one was male, clad in robes of both light and dark shades of blue, and with a blue snake mask upon his visage. He approached the door to the Master's study, which was ever so slightly open at his point of arrival. He hazarded a peek inside, making no moves to enter just yet, but not exactly knocking, either. "Hello? Master?"

01-31-2017, 01:47 PM

The onyx haired young woman would soon enough find herself in a bit of a loop. She knew she'd looked at the cloaked figured, and that she'd walked on past, after not being able to discern anything but brown hair from the darkness of his visage. Even so, she knew something was off about what had just happened to her, but she couldn't quite place the sensation. She would look a bit confused, but still, get lost right in the darkness of the hood he wore. "What... was that?" she questioned outside of her head. But this time, she'd come to a stop in her walking, directly in front of this young man. Whatever had transpired here, she assumed it was his doing...

"Well, not exactly the most assertive entrance I've had today, but definitely not the most timid either." the Master said to the inquisitive greeting at her door. "Well, don't just stand outside, you're not going to get anything done out there." she said to the young man outside of her room. His name was Hiro and he wore the mask of the snake per the Master having given it to him in a time of meeting prior to this one. A smile crossed the woman's face as she turned to face him, her eyes darting over to one of her glowing test tubes in a few seconds a smile on her face. "I'm just gonna lay this on ya', I'm probably going to fade from existence soon. Nothing to be done about it by the way... you shouldn't worry." she said. "But when I'm gone... there will be no one to watch over the others... so I'll need you to do that for me." she said sounding pretty happy about it. She extended her hand, calling to her person, a long Keyblade of an outlandish look. "You're a master now too, Hiro, and as such you gotta take this task... and a this Keyblade, 'cause... graduation gift. Oh and the name Invi, Master Invi, sounds really cool. Kinda mysterious." said the woman happily apparently. Seeming to have completely forgotten that she'd basically just told this young man that she was going to die sometime soon.

It seemed this individual had realized what had occurred to her, at least in some sense of the thought. While true, her current experience was the fault of the young man before her, it was interesting that she had caught wind of the strangeness in any way. When he looked up at this girl more directly, the lower half of his face escaped the shadow of the black coat's hood, showcasing the smirk he wore. "What could you possibly mean?"

"Oh... Apologies, Master. I didn't want to barge in, but the door was already open," said the young Master named Hiro as he entered, as per the woman's request. His attention was soon brought to a glowing test tube when his Master's head turned in the direction of the item, and though he had no clue what it was for, he was colored a bit curious. More importantly, though, was the task being given to him at this very moment. "I'm sorry... you want me... to watch everyone? Because you're going to just up and vanish? And you're offering me a Keyblade and a new name? How exactly is that supposed to... oh," he concluded. It took some time, but Hiro, or rather, Invi, managed to catch up to speed on things in the end. "This isn't just a me thing, is it? You want me and others to do this sort of thing. Like... an organization or something like that, right?"

The raven haired young woman was standing before the young man at the fountain, finally able to catch just a piece of his visage that wasn't his hair. But the smirk he had on his visible lower face, combined with his question was something that she didn't expect. Such a reaction was rather confusing for the lass, because she could feel almost certain of what she was thinking, even if her mind felt a bit muddled by the movement of time around her. It wasn't a conscious thought, it simply felt like something she'd done before. "I... don't know. I... just feel like I did this before... but it didn't turn out this way. It's strange." she said as if she was severely confused. "Sorry, I know that sounded weird." the girl finished up. She didn't really know what to say to the cloaked figure, but she knew somehow that they were similar perhaps.

Meanwhile the Master was busy discussing future arrangements with a man she'd recently renamed Invi. "No need to apologize. It was left that way on purpose, I wanted to see what you'd do." the Master said. Such was her playful and ever so slightly mischievous way. The following apology was for his understanding of the situation. Of course, this woman knew that was coming as well, along with the young man's ability to reason out why this situation existed. Soon enough the woman was turning, clapping her hands together around the handle of the Keyblade the young man had yet to take. "Bravo, Master Invi. I knew you'd be able to figure it out." she said and her voice seemed so cheerful it was almost wrong. "Yes, I have already given or am going to give the rest of my direct apprentices tasks while you all become Masters this day. Don't worry though I know you'll be able to complete your task well. I want you to observe the events taking place... but that doesn't mean you should just hold on to whatever you learn. Whatever you do... you should be fair in how you present the information, both to the other Masters and to yourself." she said offering the Keyblade once more. "Oh and I got a book for you that will tell you the future, call it the Book of Prophecies. You guys are all getting a copy, to help you build your unions, yours will be Anguis. Go and find you some like minded Keyblade wielders to join it, but remember, that you can't align yourself with any of the other Masters. Your presences to retain balance have to be friendly competative, but never co-operative. It will disrupt the balance..." mentioned the Master. "And if you find yourself in doubt Master Invi... May your heart be your guiding key."

"Deja vu is strange that way, isn't it?" the young man asked rhetorically. Of course, he knew exactly what happened to the girl, but he wished to bait out the full reaction from her before admitting to anything. "Maybe you did do this before. Maybe you'll do it again, or maybe you haven't done it yet. I like your Keyblade, by the way," he said, in spite of never meeting this girl or seeing the alleged Keyblade she wielded.

"Oh... alright. I hope my reaction was to your liking, then..." was the retort of the silver-haired male. With the second offering of the Anguis Keyblade, the man who would now apparently be known as Invi stepped forward to claim it. He held it in his left hand, and it somehow felt right; more so than the Keyblade he had been provided with originally. With this, also came confirmation of his quick theory, and even more regarding the Book of Prophecies as it were. "Book of Prophecies? Do we really need to know the future?" he asked, only to go more in depth when given the stipulation that these Unions be kept totally separate. "And... we have balance now, don't we? Wouldn't keeping these Unions divided for competition just create an imbalance in the long run?"

"I suppose." the girl stated a gloved and feathered hand coming over her face as she tried to reason through what had happened. This was a very strange sensation and she wasn't sure why it existed in the first place. She surmised that it wasn't uncommon to have a random feeling that you'd already done something, even so she couldn't help but feel like she was being lead down a particular path. Still the words of this young man made the girl's eyes widen to the point of shock. She'd never encountered him before this moment, what could he possibly know of her Keyblade. "My... Keyblade?" she questioned resisting the urge to make it appear. Most people weren't fond of the look her Keyblade had, they found it foreboding. "No one likes my Keyblade... and I've never seen you before, so it isn't possible that you've seen it." she said a bit stunned. "You... you're the reason I felt deja vu..." the girl reasoned. But it made her curious about whether this boy would actually like her Keyblade or not if he actually saw it. There was a moment in this where she felt a tiny bit like challenging the man before her, perhaps it was a tiny bit dark, perhaps she wanted to see if he would really accept his 'liking' of her Keyblade. As such she held out her right hand and when she did, pinkish energy seemed to push until she materialized her Keyblade, a black thorny thing with a glowing heart near its teeth. She held it there seeming to want to watch his reaction to this thing that was basically the embodiment of her heart.

"It was at the very least to my expectations. Nothing to worry about~" the Master relayed about the boy's entrance. Moving right along, it seemed that Master Invi was among the more clever of individuals. Questioning their need to know the future. "There are some important bits in there, you all might need. If you don't have them... worse things happen." mentioned the Master about the nature of knowing the future. "It's also a way to maintain the balance. You all have access to the same information, the only difference made will be what you do with it." she said spinning around in her chair after the Keyblade was accepted. The young man know the leader of the Anguis Union seemed to be curious about why keeping the unions separate was necessary to keep the balance. "Because, right now there are 7 of us... and keeping the balance is easy, everyone balances around me. But when I am gone, that won't be the case... and when it's not the case... you all stirring up power of your unions, and combining them, could cause the hunger for more power. Then... the balance falls apart and War happens." said the Master. Her voice was simply matter of fact. "So, keep them separate, have competition, but no co-operation, co-operation leads to consolidation and when that happens one of you might do something you shouldn't. It has to be accounted for, which is why... you're needed to watch everyone with a fair eye, in my absence. To help balance everyone out. You see?" she asked as her experiment in the corner seemed to be reaching a fever pitch.

The young man's smirk stretched wider when this girl spoke of never meeting him, and vice versa. "Sure you have. We've met three times now, Kairos," he stated. The girl quickly came to the conclusion that the deja vu sensation she had was his doing, which was an accurate assumption to make. But then, she fed directly into the cycle, just as she had done already... or would do again and for the first time. "Plenty of people like your Keyblade. You've met them... or will," he commented. Without further ado, he rose from his seat on the fountain, holding out his right hand to produce a glowing blue light which gave way to his Keyblade. This Keyblade possessed an ethereal glow about it, and a clock face at its tip. His grin grew toothier as he lunged forward, lashing out at the girl with his Keyblade. If she chose to block this strike with her own weapon, she would strangely find herself standing in the very same position she had been originally, first seeing this man in his position at the fountain.

"... Yes, Master. I understand," Invi said to voice his sense of clarity over the need for this Book of Prophecies. He could also clearly follow the woman's logic behind the separation of Unions, though he saw the potential for it falling apart even with her plan. Then again, with these roles falling into order, perhaps the Master had set in place some contingency plan of sorts. Such would be expected of the prestigious, albeit strange woman. "I will observe to the best of my ability. To be honest, I've kind of been doing that anyway."

02-01-2017, 12:28 AM

"You know my name?" the girl seemed stunned. She could swear she'd never spoken to this young man before in her life. This entire scenario was just getting stranger and stranger by the moment. There was more to this than she understood and perhaps there was a reason for that which she would come to understand at a later time. Even so, she'd brought forth her Keyblade to show him, that which he had already seen, and hadn't seen... but in doing so, she caused him to do the same. She looked upon his Keyblade and found it strange. As he attacked she commented, "It really is you... I like your Keyblade too." she said, finding his toothy grin a bit unnerving. Not that it really mattered, because as she went to block the coming strike, she'd soon find herself...

The Master was still chatting up the new Master Invi who seemed to have caught on to her ultimate plan. A grin crossed the hooded woman's face as she finally went to check on her experiment, which turned out to be, a small cat with a strange symbol on its back trapped inside a tube. "You don't have to just observe, Master Invi. Remember, having a bunch of information is completely useless, if you never do anything with it." she said with a knowing nod of that black hooded head. "If you are ever in doubt, May your heart be your guiding key." she said, both as a bit of advice and a way to dismiss the young man as she tapped on the glass of the jar and waited for the arrival of her next apprentice. A pink haired girl by the name of Kousagi had also been summoned and by the time she arrived she'd simply open the Master's door taking a look at the small cat in the jar and being stunned by it. "Oooh!! Master... you made a little creature. It's super cute... can I have it?" she asked seeming to care about keeping the small creature. This would only cause laughter from the master, while... another situation seemed to be playing out elsewhere in town.

Walking by the fountain again, staring at a strange young man whose brown hair was sticking out around the corners of a dark hood. This time, she felt even more like she'd done it before. Her initial curiosity and the feeling of deja vu led her to do something strange this time when she stopped before the young man. She'd extend her hand in greeting and offer something strange. "I... think I've done this before." she said shaking away the sensation of having the same interaction multiple times, she went with something different. "Hi, I'm Kairos." she said as she stared into the blackness of his hood.

02-01-2017, 12:40 AM

"Understood. Thank you, Master," said Invi. With a bow, he held his Keyblade at his left side, and the Book of Prophecies against his chest with his right arm. Taking the woman's final words as his dismissal, he rose from his bow only to turn and leave the Master's study.

In the middle of town, the hooded man watched the approach of this girl named Kairos, who seemed to be having a very peculiar experience at the time. Here they were, in their very first moment of meeting again(?) with the girl introducing herself. Smiling, the cloaked figure raised his right hand to meet hers. "Nice to meet you, Kairos. My name is Sion," he said, behaving as if nothing was amiss.

The little girl in her fox mask and pink robes seemed to be very excited, and the Master couldn't help but be amused by her desire to have this little creature. "Oh, this little guy, he's a Chirithy. I am making them for all of you, and they'll bond with you Keyblade Wielders and be your companions. They are pretty neat~" said the Master as she danced around breaking the glass to release the small guy inside. "And this one is for you, but everyone else will have them too." she said. The girl, seemed to be excited. "Aww thank you Master." she said as she picked up the small cat creature and hugged it. Seeming to be content to walk off with it. "Oi! I didn't call you here just to give you that... I have to leave something with you too." she said seeming to cause confusion in the girl. "What? More stuff? Really?" it seemed the girl was quite fond of gifts but very kind and likely pure hearted as a result. "Yes, but the other gifts come with responsibilities. One of the biggest... and the next bit of info is pretty heavy so you might wanna sit down." she said. The girl seemed to take this random seriousness from her master with the utmost caution. "Master, is everything okay?" she asked seemingly very distressed. "Someday... I'm going to fade, and when I do... the balance between the rest of you will need to be kept." said the Master. "So have this." she said standing in front of the girl and opening her right hand, causing a light burst which would create a Keyblade which was frilly and rainbow covered the small girl immediately reached out to take it, finding its weight to be amazing and perfect. "Alright, now you're going to run a union, Master Ava." she said the girl looked confused. "Oh, I changed your names too. Your other friends have their assignments, and you have this one, but there is a little extra for you." she said seeming to peak the girl's interest. "What do you mean?" she said. As she banished this new Keyblade the Master walked around finding a book complete with a fox motif on the front. "You're now Master Ava, the leader of the Vulpes Union, but that doesn't really matter, because the unions will fail. I am telling you this, because you're the backup for the future. Collect yourself some keyblade wielders of promise. Train them in a secret location and when the inevitable happens, when you have no other choice. Send them off to other worlds, to preserve the light and protect the balance. Don't concern yourself with alliances or co-operation, this will lead to a power vacuum." she said as the girl looked at the book. Immediately there was discontent. "But, Master... I don't think I should do that sort of thing... it doesn't seem like it will work out. And why prepare for the worst, can't you just stop this inevitable thing instead?" she questioned. "Stopping the inevitable, doesn't seem like a good idea... you can't worry about things you know will happen, you can only try and do something about those you can't. Though if you plan to try you should remember what I said about cooperation, because that will be the thing that makes the spiral downward happen. And don't worry, you're the only one who can do this job, my little collector~" the Master mentioned in a singsong voice. The young girl was set at ease by this. "Use the book, find what you need... and gather your little Dandelions that they might be carried by the breeze. And if you are ever in doubt that what you do is right, May your heart be your guiding key." she mentioned which was her way of dismissing the girl. She stood then... having never been addressed by her name. "If it is what you wish Master, I will follow your teachings and maintain the balance. I hope you don't disappear though... we need you." the girl said. "Farewell." the girl said, and with that all of the extra books had disappeared from the Master's desk, but... she had one more apprentice and he was soon to arrive as well.

Meanwhile in the town square at the fountain the girl named Kairos was meeting a man for what was simultaneously the first and third time. Her heart, felt strange, like she knew this situation but she didn't at the same time. Instead of dwelling too much upon it, she took the young man's name and his extended hand which met her own. "I don't know what is happening right now... but I feel like we're friends. Sion." the girl mentioned. This was a strange instance but she supposed there were weirder things than the feeling of knowing someone you were meeting for the first time.

"Do you? That's interesting, since we've never met before," the young man stated. He seemed to have legitimately never met this girl, despite this being their third interaction over the past few minutes. Or perhaps, this was actually the first. As he released his hold on her hand, he continued his response to her notions of friendship. "If you'd like to be friends, though, I'd be perfectly alright with that. Maybe you could even help me out. I have something I need to do, but first..." Once again, or rather, for the first time, Sion called forth his clock-themed glowing Keyblade. "This might sound strange, but this Keyblade of mine has the ability to rewind time. If you could just... tap your Keyblade against it, I think I can rewind time around us. I might mess up, though. I could end up just sending you back, or just myself back... or maybe even send both of us in opposite directions. But..."

Kairos looked astounded when the young man before her claimed they'd never met before. She could almost swear this wasn't true, she felt deep down that she knew this young man and she couldn't quite figure out why this was. Then there was the matter of him, bringing forth his Keyblade, an interesting mashup of a clockwork theme, which he claimed had the ability to manipulate time around them. He wanted to test this and Kairos didn't have anything else to do. "Well, my Keyblade is quite... strange. But if you think it will help." she held out her right hand creating a black thorn Keyblade with a heart caught in its teeth. It was bathed in a pink light but it still seemed just a bit ominous. "Just a tap... right?" she asked in confirmation of what she needed to do to help the boy with his experiment. As such she'd cause their Keyblades to clash once more to an unknown effect. Given the gravity of this situation, one might consider that it would be a bad thing to play around with time in such a way, but... Kairos felt like it was something she should do.

Bloodedge

02-01-2017, 03:30 AM

"That's fine. Mine is a bit strange too," he replied. He wasn't sure about others, but he knew his Keyblade's ability belonged to a strange classification, in its ability to alter the physical state of things around it in a certain way. When he saw this strange Keyblade of Kairos', his eyes widened. He rather quickly made an assumption about this. "Oh! Yours affects hearts, too?" he asked. "This should be interesting then. I think you'll be able to keep a full memory of what's happening if you try." With that, Kairos' Keyblade tapped against his, triggering its ability with the action. "Whoops!" he said as a barrier engulfed the two, then began closing in on Sion alone. He disappeared in that moment, seeming to have been the only one affected by this rewind.

At that precise moment, though, Sion appeared within the Master's study via means that seemed to be teleportation. He would be found suddenly sitting at the edge of the woman's desk with his Keyblade in hand. 'Hmm. I sent just her back that time. And right in time to meet with the Master,' he thought. Now that he thought about it, he knew how to make his Keyblade work to such an extent at all times, creating an entirely new personal development for the young man. His Keyblade had always been able to affect time, but never feats such as this until now. "Good evening, Master. You... have summoned me already, right?"

Apollymi

02-01-2017, 03:46 AM

In this clash, at the end, Sion disappeared. And in this moment, Kairos completely understood what had occurred between them. In their earlier meetings for her, she'd been the one sent back in time alone, and then they'd been sent back together to properly greet each other and start the events which would lead to this conversation. "Yes. It does affect hearts. These are... supposed to be rare. If you have one too, no wonder it feels strange." she mentioned as their clash took place. The ability of this young man's Keyblade was indeed amazing. And as she stood now alone she was a bit confused, looking down at her Keyblade in her hand. 'That is an amazing ability, but mine... doesn't do anything nearly that friendly.' the girl thought as she banished her own Keyblade and thought to walk away.

Meanwhile this time, Sion found himself in the Master's Study directly atop the woman's desk. She looked up from her seat as if she wasn't surprised and looked first to his Keyblade and then to him. "Been playing around with time again, haven't ya' Sion?" she asked in a way which was strictly rhetorical. "Good thing I've already gotten rid of all of the books or this would be a really interesting mess." the Master mentioned as she stood up from her seat and looked to the young man now on her desk. "But yes, I definitely already summoned you. I'm going to fade from this world Sion..." she mentioned as if she was discussing the weather while staring out of the window.

Bloodedge

02-01-2017, 04:25 AM

"Just a bit," he said while looking at his Keyblade. "I realized today that I can rewind time around me. I played around with it while I worked out the kinks." Apparently, the Master thought... or rather, knew that she would be disappearing at some point. Sion was more surprised by the fact that she spoke as if this was a given than the idea of it happening. If she knew, then there had to be a reason. "Alright. Why, and where to?"

Apollymi

02-01-2017, 04:34 AM

"Well as long as you are having fun." the Master said of the boy's apparent activities for the day. Moving right along, this young man didn't seem particularly depressed about her potentially disappearing from this world. The questions he asked thereafter made the woman scoff. "Really? No crying? Mourning my potential doom? Gosh you kids really..." she paused deciding not to pursue that line of thought. "Whatever, I don't actually know the answer to either of those questions. It's just a thing that is going to happen, or rather it is more likely than it's not. I mean... I might not disappear, but I might. But before it happens, I need all of you to do what you gotta do to keep the world going and balanced." she mentioned. As she began speaking, she began pacing her office, where the boy still presumably stood on her desk. "The other five of my apprentices have already been here today. They've been given the Book of Prophecy and new names, new Keyblades more suited to them and roles... to play for when I am gone. Most haven't begun reading yet, but when they do... they will realize something I am going to share with you now~"

Bloodedge

02-01-2017, 04:48 AM

The Master's apparent state of distress, be it legitimate or not, didn't seem to bother the young man at all. "I have no reason to mourn. You don't make it sound like this fading has anything at all to do with death," he said, beginning his own train of thought involving the woman's potential disappearance. Even the information regarding the others and their tasks meant little in this moment, though he kept an open ear to absorb it all. "... You're going to Kingdom Hearts, aren't you? And you might not come back, so you want us to maintain the balance while you figure out whatever it is you're doing."

Apollymi

02-01-2017, 05:02 AM

"Well, death is a context thing... hard to say what that is like. There isn't anyone to ask... but I don't think I am going to die. Can't be certain... its a possibility but it isn't really important right now." the Master said as she paced about the room. As she kept doing this as the boy seemed to work through what his apparent idea was about her disappearance. And when he spoke of a potential going to Kingdom Hearts, she paused looking at the young man as if astounded. "Well, way to steal my mojo. I can't tell you anything..." she said seemingly completely and utterly disappointed. But she wasn't... it was quite the opposite. "Such a clever boy. That's why you're my favorite." she said reaching out to pat his head gently putting one hand to her lips behind the shadows of her cloak. "Don't tell the others." she added in a seemingly sinister way.

"Anyways, for the balance of this world to be kept, they aren't supposed to work together or form allegiances. I have them books which will tell them the future, to use to help them in this task... but you're not getting one. Can't have you having that... with the abilities you already possess." she said with a knowing smile beneath that cloak. "But what you need to know, is that... the others are going to end up warring with each other. There is no way to avoid this. They will try to avoid it, and in doing so cause it to happen, because the book mentions it and then they will worry about what they can do to stop it, they will try and make it happen. You understand." she said giving a gentle nod of that cloaked head. "They can't go mucking with the future, but they will try... and so... you have to keep yourself separate from them, and watch these events unfold." She held out her hand causing a Keyblade dark in color with a large blue eye in it to appear in her hand. "This is for you. You should take it, or rather, I can honestly say you already have." she said in a seemingly innocent way.

02-01-2017, 05:21 AM

"Well, if you didn't tell me this time, I would have just kept rewinding until I got enough clues. It only took the one, though," Sion said regarding his 'stealing' of the Master's mojo, so to speak. Moving along, it appeared to be the case that he would not be receiving the same book as the others, and with good reason, too. He could agree that he shouldn't have a book with fixed points of the future, when he had the ability to go into the past. More importantly, the Master had a Keyblade from him... one which she believed he had already accepted. Holding his original Keyblade in his left hand, he opened his right to summon the newer one from the Master's hand, into his own. In this moment, he interestingly wielded both weapons simultaneously. "I was early last time, and you started out with this and the idea that you would be fading, as you say. Don't worry; my reaction last time was probably one you would have appreciated a bit more."

Apollymi

02-01-2017, 05:33 AM

"Oh? Well, I suppose I should be happy you are putting your skills to good use." the Master said of the boy's ability to rewind time, which apparently he'd already used once to find the necessary context clues to figure out what she would be doing when she 'faded' from this place. Sion also went on to mention that his previous reaction to the idea of her fading was likely the one she'd been searching for, which gave her a bit of solace. Moving right along she looked at the Keyblade he was managing to wield with his other hand, and it made her wonder what else Sion had managed to get into. Dual wielding usually required the splitting of a heart. But no matter.

"Ah, yes, I am sure you did do what you need to do at some point in the future. Because I got the information to put in the books. It is a simple thing to know, but... if you noticed that eye at the end of the Keyblade, it happens to be one of mine. I use it to see, where my body is not. A necessary sacrifice to ensure that what happens in this world happens the way it is supposed to." the Master said seemingly happy. "So congrats... I gave the others a new name... so I'll give you one too Master Luxu~" she mentioned. "And if you haven't figured out what your job is yet, just take that Keyblade with you and watch everything, so I'll know about it. And when the time comes... pass it along to a reasonable apprentice. I am sure you'll have no problem finding a good one for yourself." she said, because it was obvious that he'd already done his job. "May your heart be your guiding key." she said then she remember she'd forgotten something. "Oh, and... take this with you too!" she said pulling a large box from under her desk. "But... you can't open it. Okay. Like seriously.... NEVER EVER."

Bloodedge

02-01-2017, 05:55 AM

"... Right. So, you put your own eye in a Keyblade, to give to me, so you could see the future and write the Book of Prophecies. This is why you have the ability to see the future. Well, I guess I should be honored to be a part of this mysterious power of yours. It's a bit boring though, isn't it? Everyone else puts together these Unions, and I just go watch by myself. Or... I could take an early apprentice," he said, looking into the eye of the Keyblade and having his own eyes temporarily change to share its appearance, or at least one similar to it. "Oh? So I can also see the future. That's a shame, though. I thought I would be able to see the next spell I make, and create it early, or maybe master this other Keyblade in an instant by seeing how I use it later. Ugh! Time travel is bothersome." Speaking of time travel, Sion... or rather, Luxu, was soon presented with a large box, black in color, which he was instructed to never open under any circumstance. Of course, he would immediately go about opening it... or rather, he had already done so and returned to the exact moment it was shown to him. "Well... that clears things up a bit."

Apollymi

02-01-2017, 06:11 AM

The Master soon heard out the explanation of what was thought to have happened about her ability to see the future from a boy known now as Luxu. He was pretty spot on, and as such she simply nodded her head multiple times as he spoke. "Yep, right on the money. So smart. And no, not boring. You have no idea how much planning it takes to have something like that turn out right. Not to mention the fact that I couldn't know myself that taking out my eye would cause me to see the future, I kind of just did it and it turned out alright. Like doing my research in reverse." she said of her own foretelling ability. His apparent discontent at the loneliness of his dedicated path was very interesting. "What do ya' mean boring? You get the best job in the world... 'cause you're the one who doesn't know how this is supposed to happen. Everyone will be freaking out and you'll be waiting to clear up any confusion. Besides...the combination of abilities means you can't possibly run one of the unions as being involved with them when you're the one who doesn't know the minor events will make you change how they are supposed to play out." the woman said. "Also that isn't permission to go about fracturing reality by rewinding time after you do something you don't like. Some things we really can't fix, it's one of the lessons we gotta learn." she mentioned as if she knew this from experience. Even so, she soon had removed a box and told this young man never to open it... only to have him say a few seconds later that he'd cleared something up. The Master soon became incredulous.

"I say two seconds ago, you gotta leave well enough alone sometimes. I give you permission basically to travel time so I can know the future... and you immediately use it... to open the box." she then burst into near hysterical laughter. "I am never sure what you're doing Luxu... but you're fun."

Bloodedge

02-01-2017, 06:32 AM

During the Master's small tirade, Sion hopped off the desk and casually spun his two Keyblades around in his hands. Figuring out this time travel and foresight was going to be quite a treat for the male; one that he was sure to enjoy later. The apparently inevitable war between his peers, though, would surely classify as disturbing information. Perhaps, if he couldn't stop the war itself, he could do something about any casualties. That, however, was a tale that would only be told by time. It seemed the Master found his use of time travel to discover the contents of the box amusing, if nothing else. "But Master. Clearly I didn't open the box," he jested. "And don't worry. If you disappear, I will find you when the time comes." When this was said, Sion... no, Luxu, raised his new Keyblade and looked into it again. "... Master Seeker. Since you said last time that you didn't name it."

"Oh right? And I am totally going to believe that." she said sarcastically. "I would have opened it too!~ Something about being told not to do something immediately makes you wanna. I know..." she said seemingly happy with the way the 'graduation' of her students had turned out. She assumed they would be off, making their unions, reading their books and the like by now. And while she thought this Luxu mentioned that he would find her, if she happened to vanish off the face of this world. "Oh, well... that is quite sweet, but you shouldn't let thoughts of such things consume you or anything. I got no idea if I will vanish, how long I will be gone, how time flows outside of this world. It's a lot of complicated variables..." she mentioned. It was nice to know her apprentice would look for her, but it wasn't something he needed to do. He went on to name his Keyblade which was good because she hadn't named it herself, but it seemed he already knew that too. "Huh? Well, I suppose that's a interesting name." she said as she watched him twirl two Keyblades at once. A sight to be seen as she soon settled back into her chair. "If you are really gonna take that early apprentice, you might want to look into finding them before the others begin snatching up people for their unions. Ya' know... loyalties being what they are, you might not be able to find anyone good without them being tainted by the ideals of whatever union they join." she mentioned as she began writing. "Oh... and I am not kicking you out or anything. I do enjoy your company. Just figured I'd drop that hinty-hint hint."

"That's fine. You just made me into a complicated variable, so it should all work out, right?" With that said, Luxu was ready to leave behind the subject of the Master's disappearance. As for the choosing of his apprentice, he was urged to hurry if he intended to find one before they were taken in by the others. This caused the young man to grin and shake his head as he walked away. "I'm in no rush. I'd rather find a really good one. Maybe I'll even wait until one of the others' Union members is about as strong as they are. This seems like something I'll need a solid one for. Until next time," he said, taking his leave from there.

"Probably. I can never really be sure." the young woman hidden in her robes said. Soon enough this young man would be taking his leave, only after mentioning that he intended to wait and perhaps pluck his disciple from one of his peers when they were properly strong enough. An outrageous hand motion followed this idea. "Fine~ Do what ya' want. But remember, have fun... and don't open the box~" she said as the young man finally left her presence. "Oh... and May your heart be your guiding key. Spread that around... I am trying to start a thing." the Master mentioned as she bid farewell to what was likely her favorite student. Moving right along she figured now would be about the time, that the rest of her disciples began forming their unions, she'd leave them to it, while she finished up her own research.

Some time later during the day, the newly named Foreteller Invi, who bore the mask of the snake, wandered the streets of Daybreak Town. Always the observer, he thought that it wouldn't take much effort at all to fulfill the role given to him by the Master of Masters, but the formation of a Union was another story entirely. He had always been just a bit distant, and as such, he didn't consider himself the best for forming any sort of team. On the other hand, this was something he had to do. This didn't change the fact that he somewhat dreaded the idea as a whole, but his search went on regardless.

A certain young woman with black hair was walking around the corner coming from a food place of her choosing. She'd had a very odd day, and given this point she was still trying to make sense of everything which had happened. She walked away having an ice cream, her feathered outfit shifting in the breeze as she moved. 'Today... has been such a weird day.' she thought as she had at her confection of choice. She wondered if or when she'd encounter the young man known as Sion again. She really did feel like they could be friends...

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 05:47 AM

During his travels, Invi passed many individuals. Some were Keyblade wielders of various skill, some were not, but he had yet to see someone he recognized at all. He figured this was the easiest route; finding someone he was at least somewhat familiar with and starting there. Soon enough, he was treated with a familiar face. It was a girl in her mid teens, seeming to be enjoying a bit of ice cream. Waving his arm overhead, he called out to this girl from down the street. "Oi, Kairos!"

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 05:54 AM

It seemed the girl's inner musings were to be interrupted. She heard a somewhat familiar voice call her name, but upon turning around to see the arm waving overhead. She thought about it a bit more and recognize this person as one of the direct apprentices of the Master of Masters. The bearer of the snake mask bore the name...Hiro. "Oh? It's you... huh? Nice to see you." she mentioned. Moving right along she turned and headed down the street towards the person calling her name. At the very least she could see what they wanted, she supposed this meeting could be no stranger than her earlier one with the boy whose face she'd never seen. As such she'd stop near this young man enjoying her ice cream and waiting to see what he wanted.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 06:09 AM

When it became obvious that he had gained the girl's attention, the young Master hopped his way closer to her location, meeting her along the way to approaching him. He had been wandering around for a solid fifteen minutes or so, and it was refreshing to finally see a face he could match a name to. Perhaps he would be in luck, and this could be the first member of his Union. "Hey! You have no idea how good it feels to finally run into somebody I know. I've been looking all over the place," he said, only to then pause and tilt his head slightly. "Something on your mind? You look a little off."

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 06:16 AM

Kairos was now in the company of a young man who seemed to be rather happy to see her. It was quite unusual, but she wasn't one to argue about it. In fact, now that she thought about it, she'd had more than one conversation with this young man while on the path to Master her Keyblade. With this in mind his words about finally finding someone he knew made her smile as she ate. "Hmm... I can see. Glad to be a familiar face on your journey then." she said. But it seemed then that her slightly distracted mind had caught the attention of this young man. She had no reason to be anything but honest in this moment so she explained but only after her most recent bite of ice cream. "I... met someone strange today." she said as she walked. "And it felt like it happened several times... I don't even know what his face looks like... but he said his name was Sion." she said very curiously. "I just found myself wondering... if it's possible to be friends with someone without knowing it." she said with a nod. The girl seemed to be just a little more thoughtful than one would expect given how she chose to dress and the slightly dark nature of her Keyblade.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 06:42 AM

"Huh? Someone strange?" he questioned. Invi kept an open ear for the girl's following explanation of the strange meeting she had earlier this day, and though it was nothing short of unordinary, the name she gave certainly rang a bell or two. "Oh, Sion! I know him. He's one of the Master's six apprentices, like me. Don't you use Magic a lot? If you do, you should probably know him already. You guys are both kinda pyromaniacs."

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 06:52 AM

"Oh? So you know him then?" she said of the man known as Sion who was apparently along with the others that she knew of as one of the Master of Master's apprentices. It was a very strange thing, those taught by 'the Master' were apparently just far better than everyone else. She didn't envy them the privilege but even she couldn't keep up with the group as they were now. "I am fond of Magic, yes. But I don't see what that has to do with anything. Also, I am not a pyromaniac. Fire based magic is the easiest to use with the kind of combat I prefer." the girl said as she finally finished the ice cream she'd been eating and found herself checking the stick to see if she'd won a free one. She hadn't this time so she held the stick within her fingers and burned it to ashes on the spot just in time to realize that she'd just slightly proven the pyromania recently mentioned by the young man she was walking with. Of course, she wouldn't say anything about it, unless it was mentioned.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 06:57 AM

"You mean the kind of combat that involves burning things?" he retorted playfully while leaned slightly forward, moving his right hand about as if he were performing a one-handed juggle. He wouldn't specifically say anything about the girl's burning of the Popsicle stick in her hand, feeling that his point had been made well enough already. "Anyway, that guy's like the pioneer of Keyblade Magic. He showed us all how to do it; that's what made him a Master... and probably our Master's favorite, but we're not gonna get into that."

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 07:06 AM

"Well, I can't really argue that..." she said seemingly a bit bashful about it. She wouldn't directly admit to liking setting things on fire, but the usefulness of such a skill could not be overlooked. Beyond this point she seemed to have a few darker leanings besides those of her Keyblade not that they needed to be discussed either. Moving right along, it appeared that Sion was made Master by 'the Master' because of his magical prowess. She hadn't never seen him perform a magical task before unrelated to his Keyblade but she could understand why the invention of it would cause someone to gain recognition and favor. "Oh? The Master has a favorite? I always figured she couldn't decide and that was why there were so many of you." she said seemingly amused by the whole thing, but not begrudging any of the Master's apprentices. "I only met him for a few seconds and we didn't necessarily talk very much about Magic at the time, though... if I had known I might have." she said with a bit of a smile on her face. Perhaps this would be a subject to broach the next time they spoke. She could only imagine the things he could have to teach her considering he was the one who created magic. "Oh, I've been rude though, haven't I?" she said almost to herself. "I forgot to ask... why you were searching for familiar faces." she said thinking about it more, he had seemed very excited upon finding her.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 07:12 AM

"Yeah, I think everybody likes to think that, but even parents have favorites sometimes," he said. This was a matter of little importance, but one worth discussing nonetheless for simple small talk. Moving along, though, there was a more important matter to discuss than the Master's favorites, and the rise of the one known as Sion. Though, Invi seemed to have forgotten this in the moment, until it was brought back to his attention by Kairos. "Oh, right! So... the Master changed all of our names. I'm Invi now. We're also each meant to be creating 'Unions' to guide in collecting light and maintaining the balance of the world. I'm not very good with these sorts of things, so I was hoping maybe someone I knew would join me."

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 07:26 AM

"I suppose that is true." she said of the favoring of individuals. People couldn't help their tastes and there was nothing wrong with liking something or someone over something else. It was always simply a matter of preference. But soon they'd be back on track and back to the reason that this young man had appeared before her. It seemed that the Master had given him a new name, to go along with his rank of 'Master' and some very odd clothes. And he had a task to complete which involved forming something known as a 'Union' to keep the balance in the world. "The Master changed your name to Invi? So... instead of calling you 'Master Hiro' we should call you... 'Master Invi'?" she questioned this, because it was very odd to her that anyone would just randomly accept a name change. But she supposed that like all things the strange woman known as the Master did, there was a distinct reason behind it. "And you want me to join the union you are forming?" she asked thinking it over. To be fair if the others were also forming unions, it wasn't as if she any of them any better than she knew Hiro... or rather Invi. She'd known him for a while, and considered him an ally, even if she wasn't strictly sure on their 'friendship' status, given she'd never shown him that thing... Beyond that, much like herself, there was something a bit off about this young man which made her feel more comfortable. After she had clarification on her understanding of this situation, she could only wonder if Sion was forming a Union as well, to be fair... she'd enjoy getting to know him, and doing such would be an easy way to do it.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 07:34 AM

"Yeah, pretty much. I think it's pretty cool though... Master Invi. I like the ring it's got," he commented with a grin. "Though I also think maybe the Master wanted to do the name change thing a bit sooner... or maybe she just didn't think of it until late, but it probably would have been better if none of us had people who knew our original names. I mean, look at Sion. He probably introduced himself right before getting a whole new name!" The truth of this statement could not be understated, but it was simply an assumption coming from the young man now answering to the epithet of Invi. "And yes. You'd be the first official member of the Union Anguis. I don't have a ton to teach or offer, but I could show you my secret skill... the one that made me a Master. I've been thinking that's the thing our Unions will end up specializing in... whatever individual traits we Masters excel at."

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 07:50 AM

"Hmm, I suppose it does sound pretty cool, Master Invi~" said the girl with a giggle to follow. She still couldn't really imagine simply accepting a name change. But she supposed there were worse things and worse names to be assigned then the one this man got away with. On the matter of Sion introducing himself a while before he was likely to receive his name change the girl's eyes widened just a little. What if he really did just get a new name and now she didn't even know what it was. "That's... problematic." she said about the boy's random name change. But she supposed that stressing about it now wouldn't really change anything. She figured if she spent enough time looking about, she was bound to find that young man again with or without his new name. "Anguis? Snake? So the Union's are named after the Masks..." she made the assumption and thought about it only a bit more. It seemed that this man didn't have much to offer by way of power and instead offered her his special skill... the one he'd made up which got him the rank of Master. "Well, I do like secrets, skills, and snakes." she said of the offers presented to her. "And it's not like I know any of the others well enough to consider such an invitation from any of them." she finished up, bowing to the Master before her. If only because she could think of nothing better to do, as she accepted his offer. "At your service Master Invi."

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 08:01 AM

"I doubt it. That guy's the only one who walks around wearing that coat besides the Master herself." Invi was certain this girl expected to meet with the young man named Sion again at some point, and for all intents and purposes, he figured it would be quite easy for her. Little did he know that the person in question had been given the task of distancing himself from everyone, but time would tell regardless. From this interaction, he received the first official member of his Union, Anguis. This left him with a grin, and the freedom to share key information with her. "Awesome! We do have a role to fill. We're the ones meant to be keeping an eye on the others. Y'know, being indifferent and observational. As for the secret... I've been calling them Drive Forms. You should be able to handle the first two. One of them will boost your Magic by a ton, and the other will let you become a strong physical fighter, even though you specialize in Magic."

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 08:17 AM

"Well, yes... there is that." she said thinking of the fact that she'd only ever seen a cloak like the one the other boy was wearing on the Master herself. She supposed he would be easily recognizable by that logic regardless of the name he ended up with. Moving right along... it seemed that her agreement to take part of this man's Union let her in on some very interesting information. Not the least of which was basically permission to spy on people for her own amusement as long as she wasn't judgemental about it. And the knowledge of something called 'Drive Forms' which apparently the man before her made up at some point. The explanation that she would apparently be able to handle two of them one which boasted physical prowess and one which would make her Magic even more potent seemed to make the girl happy. "I... ah... may or may not already do things like that from time to time anyways." she said of the watching part of her apparent new duties. "Anyways... that Drive Form thing sounds pretty cool... I've been looking for a bit more to spice up my combat lately. I was going to try and find a new fire spell... but this sounds a bit better." she said and the idea of more potent magic was always something amazing.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 08:39 AM

"What a coincidence. That's exactly what I said to the Master," he replied. This was a refreshing bit of similarity the two apparently shared, which boded well for the strength of the Union Invi was to form. As for the secret he had so recently revealed to the girl, it seemed she took some level of interest in them. This was good. At their earliest convenience, he would be sure to show her how the Drive Forms worked. "Nice. I'll be sure to show you the ropes then. I wanna find somebody else first, though, so I guess I'm off to do that," he said, taking steps toward separating himself from Kairos as these words were spoken.

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 08:53 AM

It seemed that Kairos and Invi had a bit of something in common as far as their leisure activities were concerned, given the way that they both addressed this supposed new set of duties. This made a giggle come from the girl as she shook her head from left to right. "Well, that explains a lot." she said. If they were similar in such a way, she figured that it was why she felt both comfortable and very strange around the man she would now call her leader. As they transitioned it seemed that he wanted to gather another individual. And he seemed to be separating himself from her for that purpose, which was fine. "Well, whenever you get around to it, that is fine." she said with a chuckle. But she wasn't really sure that she had anything else keeping her interest at the moment. "Wait... umm.... you mind if I tag along?" she asked, considering that it might be a bit rude just to follow the man without telling him about it first.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 09:20 AM

"Cool. I'll let you know," he said as he turned around and began a full trek in another direction. Mere moments later, the raven-haired lass requested to join him on his journey to find other Union members. Turning enough that he could view her from over his left shoulder, he smiled. "Sure! It'd be less awkward if I wasn't just walking around looking at people by myself, so I'd love it if you came along. I just didn't want to ask and hold you up from anything!"

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 09:30 AM

The girl known as Kairos managed to look a bit stunned that her Union Leader thought he was holding her up from something. It was more than a bit relieving that he was willing to allow her to join him. "To be honest, I probably would have followed anyways... I get bored really easily. And upon thinking about it... I don't really have anything else to do right now." she said, more than happy to accompany Invi is his procuring of a new member. "But... it's a bit less boring to make conversation along the way. So, who else do you have in mind? Anyone I know?" she asked as she took up pace beside the serpent mask wearing young man as they went on their quest to find another person to join the Union they were now both a part of.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 09:43 AM

"No idea whatsoever!" he said in a lackadaisical fashion while trotting along. Aside from his fellow Masters and now Foretellers, Invi didn't have many associates. He was very lucky to have found Kairos before other Foretellers stumbled upon her. Even he could testify for the girl's latent potential as a Keyblade wielder and general spellcaster. "I was actually hoping you knew someone. I'm... probably a bit worse at this than I'm willing to admit."

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 09:55 AM

A laugh escaped Kairos in the moment that her leader claimed that he had no idea who else would be worth putting in his Union. "Ah, well... don't worry I won't tell anyone." she said, of his apparent inability to run the Union the same way his peers might have been able to. With this in mind the young woman walked around and began pondering someone to offer up. "To be fair, I am also not good at people stuff." she said only to think a bit more. "Uh, but I do have one person... he's my friend. He's a bit weaker than I am... but he's good." she said of the one person she thought of when she thought of having someone else around. She wouldn't mention that this young man also gave her the same feeling of comfort that Invi gave her, or even that she got from Sion. Perhaps... it was because he was also a bit different from the average person. "His name is Yuri. If you want to meet him... I can take you to where he hangs out."

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 10:03 AM

Luckily, Kairos knew of at least one person they could perhaps recruit to the Anguis Union. If they could successfully persuade one other individual, Invi would consider himself satisfied for the day, and knowing that this was a friend of Kairos' gave him hope that such success would come. "A friend of yours? Of course I'd like to meet him! Let's go!" he said, content in this moment to stagger his pace by a single step and let Kairos lead the way.

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 10:20 AM

The staggering of the Master Invi's steps let Kairos know that her idea to meet with a friend of hers was definitely on the list. "Alright then, I'll take you to him~" she said of her friend. Even beyond this was what the man actually said which made a smile come to the girl's face, as she would be more than happy to join this man's union especially if she could possibly have another friend of hers along. As they walked she took a couple of left turns, walking across a bridge and once she was on the other side of it, she began walking down some steps. This seemed like a rather dark place, but under the bridge near the river bank she was sure she'd find the friend she'd so recently mentioned. Upon reaching the bottom of the steps and turning under the bridge she called out. "Oi, Yuri~ You down here?" she asked.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 10:41 AM

"Yes ma'am!" Invi gladly followed along behind Kairos. It was a very strange path, the one she chose to take to find this friend of hers. In fact, if he didn't expect different, he would have thought this to be a lead into a horror scenario. There was an eventual stop at the side of a bridge, at which point Kairos called out to this apparent friend of hers. Shortly after her call, a male figure leaped out from beneath the bridge, then performed a secondary jump in mid-air which led him to the top, where he sat at the edge of the bridge with his feet dangling over. This boy with violet and pink hair, sat with a smile as he looked upon his two visitors. "Kairos! Welcome back! Been out for ice cream yet?"

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 10:48 AM

Soon enough the young woman had reached her destination and though this might have seemed like something of a horrific potential scenario. Soon enough a young man with violet and pink hair, was jumping out and up onto the bridge itself. At the point where she was welcomed back and asked about ice cream the young woman shrugged. "Yeah, but I mean... I could totally go for more. I'll even treat." the young woman mentioned about potential ice cream as she remember her reason for coming here in the first place. "Ah, but first I wanna introduce you to someone." she said waving him down so that he could meet Master Invi.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 11:06 AM

When he saw the boy make himself visible, Invi had a grin spread across his face. "Doubleflight, huh? Takes a spellcaster to do something like that," he stated. The boy continued sitting atop the bridge, swinging his legs one at a time over the edge. "Boooo! Treating doesn't make up for the fact that you end up getting two, and I end up getting one! Double treat, double treat!" he chanted jovially. Once he moved past this, he was informed that Kairos intended to have him meet someone. This was quite obviously the masked male in her company at present. Yuri hopped down from his perch on the bridge, using a second hop to carry himself over to dry land where Kairos and this other male stood. "One of the Masters, right? Here to try and recruit me?" the boy asked. This took the Master aback, mostly by implying to him that this boy had been approached already. "Err... yes. I'm Invi. Have you been recruited already?"

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 11:14 AM

Kairos found herself scoffing at the young man's request for double treating because she'd had ice cream without him. A bit of a chuckle would come soon after. "I... ah... well fine. I get it. Double treat. But no complaints if you catch a brain freeze trying to finish two of them at once." mentioned the young woman as she crossed her arms over her chest. She couldn't have imagined that sort of thing going over well. Speaking of it seemed that Yuri already knew why this masked man was here. And given that information she might have wondered which of the other Master's he'd encountered. Though she didn't immediately assume that he'd been recruited already. Still she was more than willing to wait to hear him out. "Did ya' meet someone interesting this afternoon?" she asked of the young man. Given her own experiences this day, she seemed to think it would be a pretty common thing.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 11:28 AM

"Bet ya' thirds I don't get one!" was all the boy named Yuri had to say about the idea of him catching a brain freeze. Moving back to the Master before them, he placed a finger to his chin. "Yeah, I met someone interesting. One of the other Masters met me by chance earlier. Called herself Gula. Had a really big butt," he surmised. Invi reacted to this with a bit of hesitation, though he knew exactly which Master the boy spoke of. "Oh... right. Gula, huh... So you're in her Union then?" the young man asked. To this, the boy laughed and shook his head. "Hehe, no way. I almost did because... well, reasons. But no. I'd have joined up if she had Kairos in her Union, though."

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 11:37 AM

"Bet!" she said, she couldn't help but agree to the bet, and it would get her a third ice cream if she won so it would be amazing. Soon after though the boy was talking about the person he'd managed to meet today. Apparently one of the Master's female apprentices had a nice rear end according to the young man. Kairos found herself rubbing a hand over her face. "I...ah... don't think I'm old enough for this conversation." she said when it came to the Master Gula's bottom. But apparently the young lad hadn't joined this other young woman, and instead decided to wait on whatever decision the black haired lass made. This was a bit relieving. She'd feel a bit neglected if she lost her only real friend to a woman with a large bottom. "Ah, well, to the point... I joined Master Invi here... 'cause he's right up our alley." she said pointing her thumb towards the young man at her side.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 11:55 AM

"We're, like, almost the same age," Yuri said as he waved off Kairos' statement. Whatever the case, Kairos was willing to vouch for the Union of the Master she brought with her, and she had apparently already joined said Union. With this information, he was instantly more likely to join up. "Right up our alley, huh? So... doesn't fit in, probably considered a little sketchy sometimes?" he questioned. Invi seemed a bit abashed by this, but eventually spoke with only light hesitation. "Err... well... yeah, sort of." With that said, Yuri stood with his arms akimbo and smiled again. "Heh! Alright then. Ya' got Kairos, and ya' got the dynamic. I'll come with ya'!"

Apollymi

02-02-2017, 12:14 PM

"But I'm younger... so the statement stands." Kairos mentioned. She couldn't help but find that to be one of the more hilarious moments of her day. After all the weirdness of everything else, this was a rather fun thing. Beyond this there was the statement by the young man which pretty much encapsulated the girl and other people just like her, including himself, she could only nod. "Yeah, something like that. Our favorite past time is even included in our 'duties' it'll be pretty sweet." Kairos chimed. As the young man agreed to join her and Master Invi. She couldn't help but extend her hand to the young man so they could high five. She was rather excited to have her one friend on board. "That's a relief. So you still wanna try for your brain freeze?" she said to the young man joining. In fact, it'd been her distinct intention to not put any strain on her singular friendship.

Bloodedge

02-02-2017, 12:29 PM

"Barely!" he scoffed. "But anyway! We get to creep on people as, like, our jobs? That's the only hobby I can think of, and if that's a duty of ours, I'm all in!" Invi nodded, confirming that this was more or less the duty of which Kairos spoke. "Yes. We're tasked with observing the actions of the other Unions and using a fair sense of judgement to keep the balance with whatever knowledge we gain. If you're willing to do that, the Anguis Union will gladly have you." Without further ado, Yuri bowed to the man he would now refer to as his Master. "I accept, Master Invi. It's good to be along," he said, turning to Kairos thereafter. "I'm ready whenever! You got the munny to buy three times the amount for me?"

Apollymi

"Sure thing, I got all of it. Would you like to come too... Master Invi? I could spare a round for you as well." Kairos mentioned. Of course, she knew the clincher for the other young man would be their added, okay to watch everyone else without it being a problem. She definitely had the munny necessary for each of the ice creams she intended to buy this afternoon. And to her it was a more than worthwhile endeavor for the newly formed union. If not that, then because her friend wanted ice cream and she could go for extra. Kairos began to walk off then, towards the ice cream shop figuring anyone who wanted to would follow for the frozen treat.

"Alright then, we're in business!" said the younger male of this group. He began trotting around a bit, letting his skip-like movements take him in a quarter circle around the others, while waiting apparently for the inclusion or exclusion of the Master. Ever the socially inept in sudden situations like this, Invi was momentarily taken aback again. He seemed wholly shocked to have been included, and thought this was more friendly activity than what should be expected to include him. Then again, he was likely to be around these two for a long time, so it was best to accept this offer and bond with them wherever possible. So, he nodded in the end.

"Wow." Kairos said in response to the man's apparent shock at being included in such a thing. Of course, she did so to be polite and because she herself had the same kind of social ineptitude which made it so she knew what it was like to be left out of such things. In fact, she was often thought of as a bit unnerving and as such she thought it better not to leave another individual out of their ice cream adventure. At the nod that he would join, she simply smiled. "I knew it. You're a lot like us... come on." she said of the Master Invi. And with that the girl would take off for the nearest Ice Cream shop. "Wanna have it at the usual spot?" she asked of the young man known as Yuri. Their usual spot being a clock tower so they could watch everyone below.

"... Eheheh," the young Master chuckled bashfully. "I guess that's good. We should get along just fine then," he said as he began tagging along. The younger male retained a wide grin as he virtually skipped away from the vicinity of the bridge, seeming to have already chosen the route to be taken by the group. "Definitely the usual. They have the best sea salt!"

As the Anguis Union seemed to go to confirm themselves over ice cream and watching people. The leader of the Leopardos Union walked about heading towards the library. Her leopard mask firmly in place and her nose was firmly planted within the Book of Prophecies. She hadn't bothered putting it down since she got it. In fact, she'd briefly quite literally almost run into a young man earlier. She'd taken a moment to try her hand at recruiting him to her Union, but it seemed he had not managed to do so. Perhaps if she read a bit more she'd get an idea of a better way to do this, than just trying to pick and choose. Even so, she was now walking into a crowd of people seeming not to care who or what she bumped into.

The young woman wearing the mask of the Leopard would not go very far before, indeed, she quite literally bumped into someone. Whether she had done so with anyone before this moment or not, this precise moment was very straightforward... or more accurately, head-on. The collision was with a young male with seafoam-colored hair, who stumbled and almost fell over when bumped into by the masked woman. "Sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going. Are you alright?"

One moment she was nose deep in reading material and the next moment, she'd landed on her bottom on the ground. Though she was fully clad in her Foreteller outfit including the mask the woman's rather obvious large bottom spared her most of the fall. She also somehow managed to hang on the book in he hand. As she collected herself it seemed that the person she'd run into, or the one who'd run into her (she wasn't sure which way this occurred) seemed to be offering an apology. "Nonsense. I should probably not have my nose buried in this book, but I lacked a bit of patience about learning its contents." she said as she worked towards getting herself back into the standing position. "No need to apologize. Actually, it is I who should. Forgive me... I should have been looking where I was going." the young woman said behind her mask. Still there was something about this young man which gave her a bit of pause.

Bloodedge

02-03-2017, 07:15 AM

"No, no, I insist," he replied while crouching to help the young woman off the ground. As far as this lad was concerned, the entire collision was his fault. As such, he did what he could to help this individual along on her journey to stand again. "So, you're alright then? That didn't look like a very pleasant fall."

Apollymi

02-03-2017, 07:22 AM

This young man insisted that he was to blame for this, and if taking the blame in this way was something he wanted, she wouldn't continue to argue about it. "If you say so. We could however share fault." she said and while she struggled to get back to her feet this young man helped her which she also gladly accepted. "Thank you very much." she said before dusting herself off a bit and straightening up her clothing. As for the nature of this fall, she didn't think much of it, it was quite normal for her at this point, and wasn't nearly as painful as some of her previous tumbles. "Ah, it wasn't so bad. I run into things pretty often. I promise, I am alright... there is no need to worry." she said. As she also checked the book and found it no worse for wear. "You're a kind soul..." she said to the young man before her. Taking this as an opportunity she would introduce herself and see if she might finally find the first person to join her union. "My name is Gula. I am one of the Master's Apprentices. I have been tasked with forming a union... you wouldn't want to be part of helping maintain the balance of light and darkness with me would you?" she asked in a very polite and straightforward manner.

Bloodedge

02-03-2017, 08:01 AM

"Hmm... you're right. But no. I'm having it all," was his retort. A sigh of relief passed his lips upon finding out that this young woman was well after their collision. "Good," he said. It was then that the masked woman decided to introduce herself, which she did with a very forthright recruitment drive. "Nice to meet you, Gula! I'm Johan. I have no idea what I'm getting into, but you seem nice, and Unions sound fun, so I'll just jump the gun and say yes!"

After a few moments it seemed the young man was both appreciative of her well-being after they had run into each other and accepted her offer to join her Union without really knowing what they were about. Of course, she was fine with this as it meant she finally had a member for her group which was a much easier than she'd initially anticipated. Especially given that her first try at this hadn't yielded proper results. "Uh... that's good. I didn't expect that to go so well. So, Johan, apparently we are all just going to do slightly competitive things and collect the light. And in the mean time I am also going to study the mysteries of this book, which apparently I am not supposed to let anyone see. Sorry. Moving right along though... I suppose I should keep looking for people. Though... I never thought this would go so well." she said. She was a different kind of antisocial from the Master Invi, but she was still a bit more awkward. But she was much more direct in getting things out of people, and rather calm beyond that. "Also I think, as a reward for being my first official recruit... I could teach you the skill I created which made me a Master..." she said knowing that taking on a group like this was essentially her taking on her own large group of apprentices. As such they should get the skills their masters created.

Bloodedge

02-03-2017, 09:34 AM

"Why not? You seem pretty awesome to me, so I don't know why anyone wouldn't join up with you. Besides, the leopard mask adds a ton of mystery. Like, I want to find out what your face looks like under there levels of mysterious. All good qualities," he asserted. Apparently, the goal of these Unions was a bit of competition to collect light; something made possible by use of Keyblades. With this being the case, he was definitely excited to be a part of a Union. This young woman also seemed to have a skill which was great enough to have her christened Master at some point. "You created a skill? That's pretty cool. What does it do?"

Apollymi

02-03-2017, 10:01 AM

"I don't know actually, technically speaking I had someone turn me down a bit ago, but it might have just been because he was waiting on his friend." she said of her earlier encounter. She didn't think she was particularly mysterious or alluring in this manner, but she supposed not knowing what someone's face looked like could make for a bit of curiosity. "Mystery is an interesting quality and uncovering mystery is something I plan on doing, so at the very least you have the right kind of mindset." she said of the young lad before her. As for the skill she had, she smiled. "I have been calling it Shotlock. The only people who know it right now are me and the other of the Master's apprentices. I taught it to them too. It's kind of... a form of hyper concentration which allows for one to target multiple things at once. The easier you focus the easier it is to pull off... and it seems to favor the person doing it, as everyone who does it seems to do it differently. Though... I can do it a couple of different ways." she mentioned, but now she realized she was sort of just standing in the middle of town. "Come along... I'll show you while I think of another way to find a new member or two." she said to the young man. If he followed she would lead to something which looked like a large library, but instead of going inside she walked around the back of it, to an open courtyard she favored for her own practice. It had several dozen dummies set up which were among the things she liked about this area.

Bloodedge

02-03-2017, 10:13 AM

"Shotlock..." he repeated. The name and explanation given for this skill of Gula's were both quite intriguing, and he was keen to at least see how it was performed first-hand. "Sounds like fun. So, from the way you said that earlier... do all of you have something that makes you a Master? I mean, I've met a few of the great Master's apprentices when learning about the Keyblade, but... it looks like you guys have had a rank-up since then. Every one I saw seemed to have a way bigger presence than anybody else I've ever met... even you now while you're being relaxed. But, that would be something even more amazing."

Apollymi

02-03-2017, 10:48 AM

As Gula walked towards this library she had a conversation with the young man who she'd so recently recruited. In fact, she'd go on to explain a bit about how the direct apprentices of the Master worked. "Yes, when we developed our special skills the Master made us all Masters. We recently got more instructions from the Master as well, more of us were tasked with things like building Unions and maintaining the power structure. But many of us created things, other Keyblade Wielders could use. For instance, the Magic we use with our Keyblades was created by the prodigy among us. He stands out even among us, but I suppose it would make sense if most of us showed a bit more... presence than other people. Though I am quite sure everyone who will gain power will grow into it." she mentioned as they reached the training ground she stood in the middle of the place but... much to her surprise there was someone else here already practicing. A blonde young woman wearing a yellow and white skirt and an open vest, which was zipped just around her chest. The woman in the leopard mask stood and watched as the girl performed a series of strikes. One while coated in ice, which caused an eruption of cold and ice while she jumped. Another then was immediately followed up with a jumping attack during which she coated her Keyblade in flames which took down three more dummies. The last of this combination had no element and simply caused the ground beneath the dummies to quake producing several large boulders which damaged several more dummies. After a second the girl stood up straight and smile. "Woo~ That is almost exactly what I want... dunno though, feels like it's missing something." she quipped, not seeming to have noticed the entrance of the Master Gula.

02-03-2017, 12:17 PM

"Huh? But I figured all of you guys would just be equals under the Master. You seem kind of modest, though... you could totally take him, couldn't you?" Johan asked with a playful grin as he nudged the young woman he walked beside. Soon, he stopped in the training grounds, watching as the peculiar blonde went about her practice. It was a very interesting thing to behold; this girl seemed to be about the same age as him, yet quite a bit more skilled without being one of the Masters. It seemed, however, that she was finding some issue with her practice. Before Johan spoke or stepped forward, another individual appeared. This figure was a strawberry blonde boy with a white and orange ensemble featuring gold lining and accessories. He darted from the sidelines with a Keyblade that seemed to be made of ice itself, swinging it in the direction of more training dummies. "Try it with this, Lily! Aero!" the boy called out. The movement of his Keyblade summoned the wind to lift three dummies near his person into the air. This was his attempted offering to the blonde lass, whom he thought might get a bit more excitement out of airborne targets.

Apollymi

02-03-2017, 01:21 PM

"That one... I doubt I could take." she said thinking about it from a direct perspective, accepting the playful nudge and meeting it with a gentle shove. Sion the man now known as the Master Luxu, was quite far ahead of most of them. Even he wasn't the strongest physically he was likely the most intelligent by a large margin. Even Gula herself knew this for some reason. "And that isn't a modesty thing. He's quite a bit cleverer than even I can claim to be. I feel like he'd get one over on me." she said though she'd never actually considered fighting that young man in particular. After this she was left to watch an apparent training session taking place. And she had to say she was quite impressed by what she was seeing. The girl, was quite powerful for her not to be considered one of the Masters and the boy with her, was quite clever even though he was clearly a bit weaker. "Hm... perhaps I was going about this all wrong and I should have just waited for nature to take its course." she said with a smile.

Meanwhile the girl apparently known to at least this orange haired boy as "Lily", was jumping into the air after the Aero spell. It didn't take long for her to realize what the other boy was getting at. "Oh, I get it. That's pretty smart." she said. She also had the ability to use the Aero spell which would raise enemies and allow for the combination of attacks she was about to perform. The strikes of her previous combo were performed, but instead of a down and upward constant jumping she bounced around multiple targets with a single strike and then sent all rushing towards the ground from the air. The impact was powerful, and she tactically wasted less energy performing this attack. The Keyblade she carried looked like a blue and gold claw meant to reap the earth, stars and everything between. As she landed on the ground a large shake would occur then as well, as her Keyblade planted into the center of her last of three targets. "Nice~ Great planning, Kou!~" she chimed as she looked up and finally noticed the people who'd joined them. "Oh? Sorry, I got kind of carried away. I didn't see you there." she said bowing immediately because she recognized the sign of one being in direct link to the Master.

"Oh, don't worry about that. Those are some well executed moves you both have there. I am actually very impressed, and sorry to have intruded. But now that I've seen this, I... was wondering if you'd like to join me." she said in an open ended but firm manner to the pair. "It is my duty to build a Union which among other things is meant to keep the balance of power of this world. And I would be more than happy to have ones such as you along. I have also already talked Johan here into joining so you wouldn't be alone." she said. Such a speech stunned the young blonde who looked at her friend as if she was confused.

02-03-2017, 01:41 PM

"Oh, come on. You seem like you've got a lot up your sleeve. I know I don't have any way of really judging and all, but you should give yourself more credit... Master Gula," Johan said to the Master as they watched the antics of these two Keyblade wielders. The boy's addition seemed to spark something within the blonde lass, prompting her to take her already destructive series of attacks to new heights. "Eheheh! I figured it would work out for you. I couldn't do something like that if I tried!" the boy said when this 'Lily' individual came back to ground level. It was then that she addressed the Foreteller Gula, whom both she and Kou had only just noticed. This woman spoke of Unions and the desire to have them join hers, and when Kou looked to his companion, she was already looking to him. "Uhh..."

"Aww, that's no fair, Temperance," spoke the voice of the Master Luxu, who suddenly appeared by the woman in the Leopard mask. He was still clad in the black coat worn by the Master of Masters, but yet again, the locks of long, brown hair would serve as his badge of individuality while the rest of him remained concealed. "I was watching this one to scope out a potential apprentice."

Apollymi

02-03-2017, 01:53 PM

"I am giving myself plenty of credit. But I suppose, a bit of faith goes a long way. Thanks Johan~" she said to the young man with her. Of course, she really didn't need this sort of ego boosting but something about it was quite reassuring. As if she was made more certain of her actions simply by virtue of having someone else believe in them. While this happen the young woman and the young man who'd been found here appeared to be staring at each other trying to suss out what to do about the offer presently on the table. "I... don't have a problem doing good and joining a union. Though I figure there have gotta be more than one right?" she said only to look dumbfounded as the woman known as Master Gula had her given name revealed by a boy in a cloak who seemed to find something about her approach to this pair unfair.

Master Gula to her credit, looked to the cloak boy with a bit of a smile on her face. "Oh? I managed to beat you to something? I think I might not be able to let that go, Sion~" she said in a teasing voice. What none of these could know was that their Master had only recently changed their names, so they likely still addressed each other by their usual names just out of habit, and lack of knowing what they were now being called. Still, she really wanted this pair and they seemed to be a packaged deal. "Temperance? Wait a second... I know that name." this was the words spoken by the girl known as Lilynette. "I haven't been able to catch that one... she's on the list, for potential to learn from directly. She's supposed to be super interesting if a bit withdrawn and apparently kinda clumsy." she said very bluntly, only thinking about it after she'd spoken. "Oops, sorry. I didn't mean that the way it sounded."

02-03-2017, 08:24 PM

"The Master has six understudies, right? So there have to be six?" asked the boy with the ice-themed Keyblade. Johan remained silent, shifting his attention to this newcomer whom the Master Gula addressed by name. How interesting it was, that they were just speaking about this person moments prior, and suddenly, here he was. Sion, soon to be better known as Luxu, smirked beneath his hood when addressed by the Master who created Shotlock. "I could always change it. I can do that now. Since it's you, though, I'll let you have that," he said, turning his gaze on the blonde lass thereafter. Even with this shift in attention, his words still seemed to target the masked woman at his side. "Harsh. It's cute when it happens, though."

02-03-2017, 08:49 PM

"That seems like it should be right. But of the direct apprentices of the Master one of them doesn't have an animal mask. Probably this guy." she said giving a casual finger point to the only other person she'd now ever seen wearing the same black cloak as the Master. Given this... it seemed that there was something quite different about this one.

While this happened, Master Gula was apparently having a friendly enough conversation with the cloaked gentleman who seemed to imply he had the ability to change the fact that she'd found this group first, and would leave her to it, only because it was hers. "Oh? How gracious of you." she said to the man soon to be known as Luxu. "You keep that up and the others, will start to think I'm your favorite." she said with a curt nod. Soon after though her ears were assaulted by the statements of her possible Union member. A bit of a blush came to the young woman's face beneath her mask, because what the young woman said was very true, she was known to be a bit of a klutz and a bit aloof, though the latter bit not nearly as much as some of her peers. The young man standing beside her was one such individual. Still the words of Luxu in her defense caused her to turn slightly clutching a book to her chest. "Oh... well..." she paused seeming to gather herself. "Sion, you're trying to make me flustered. Cut it out." she managed though her tone didn't imply she was upset in anyway moving right along she seemed to want to address what were likely her new union members. "Ahem. Anyways... I am a bit clumsy, in fact I kind of quite literally ran into Johan here, and that became a recruitment effort. There isn't anything to apologize for. In fact it's probably better for people to know that about me from the start." she said to the new girl and her friend. "Still, I didn't mean to say that. I think you're pretty cool... " said the blonde female with a hand touching the back of her head. She was quite skilled in battle but her social skills seemed to be lacking a bit, though obviously not to the same extent as some of the other individuals seen this day. She'd also take this moment to address the bit of information she'd managed to find in the book she'd been reading when said incident occurred. "Beyond that there will be five unions, when they are finally formed. One for each of us wearing the animal masks. Though they were participate in competition against each other, none of us are enemies, it is simply an act to keep the power spread out between all of us. Keep the world balanced. I'd ask that you join me because I see your potential... and would like to have you all along... groups of rather studious individuals, whether that be for combat or actual books, and responsible nice ones are likely the sort that will find themselves with me. Because I am usually about this calm under any strain or pressure. And I have a nice skill to teach anyone who joins me, one which will help them focus on battle even more than they do." she mentioned with a curt nod hoping to persuade any doubters within her group.

"If they think anything different right now, they're wrong," the cloaked lad replied. As for the Leopard masked Master's retort to his later assertion, he chuckled. "Well, you beat me to this scouting. Excuse me for wanting a fun bit of payback," he said. In the meantime, it became obvious to the others what Unions were made for, and how many there were. This Master seemed to seek studious apprentices/subordinates/whatever they may be in this case. The boy named Kou was made somewhat interested by this notion, and looked to the more skillful individual he was found with. "This sounds like one with a lot of growth," he said. "And she seems nice. Wanna try?" In some way and for some reason, Sion decided to provide a bit of influence for the situation. "You're liable to learn the most, and have the most freedom with Master Gula here. Trust me; we've already discussed it twice."

Apollymi

02-03-2017, 09:28 PM

"Aww, that's so nice.~" said Master Gula about the apparent favoritism of herself by the creator of Keyblade magic. A scoff would be the only thing that escaped the young woman, at the commentary of Luxu apparently having fun with trying to tease her because she'd beaten him to the recruitment effort. While this mini-conversatin happened, Lilynette was talking with Kou about their potential joining of this union in particular. The information given by the Master Gula was quite convincing on the surface, but the added words of the other Master, seemed to make the girl a bit confused. "We had this conversation twice? Why would we do that?" she said seeming not to understand how that would even be possible, but showing a fair bit of straight-forward curiosity. Moving right along there was still the matter of apparently four other possible unions. Which had the potential to be extra interesting simply because they were unknowns. "Well, I like...this woman, and I want to learn what she has to offer... but I feel like we would be missing out by not vetting other potential masters." said the young woman as she leaned against her Keyblade. "Hmm..." she thought and with this Gula simply nodded. "Aww, I lost one like this earlier. He was waiting on his friend to decide. I almost had him."

02-03-2017, 09:37 PM

"Isn't it? It only took me these three tries to say the right thing," was Luxu's statement to the Master Gula. True enough, he had replied to her statement thrice now, and the first two attempts had yielded less favorable results. "Call it cheating if you want, but I still got you," he concluded. The two potential recruits of the Leopardos Union seemed to be questioning the number of times they'd had this conversation, as well as the possibilities of them preferring other Unions. Luxu sighed when this was brought up as a topic. "Let's not go here again. We had this conversation. I rewound time. We talked again. I rewound time. You two are most fit to join Leopardos. Trust me. If you ever regret the decision, I'll personally give you both the ability to wield two Keyblades simultaneously."

Apollymi

02-03-2017, 09:47 PM

"Three tries? You did this thrice?" she said seeming to not understand why it was necessary for him to get her experience to be him saying the right thing. Even so, Master Gula supposed she appreciated this young man going out his his way to make sure she was pleased by their interaction. "It's definitely cheating. And nearing the level of sketchy that Hiro normally possesses." she said flicking her eyes over the cloaked young man, even so if she was being honest he was likely her favorite individual as well. Moving right along it seemed her potential recruits were still mulling over their options but Luxu's words seemed to fit different in this situation. And with it Lilynette seemed to turn to the cloaked young man seemingly stunned. "Wait we had this conversation three times, and if we regret out decision here, you'll give us a special skill?" she said even though she didn't personally remember these other conversations, it seemed to be weighted in her favor to simply accept this. "I... can't argue with benefits outweighing the risks here. I can agree to this." the girl said in this moment. Her Keyblade vanished from her side and she leaned forward bowing to the woman in the Leopard mask. "I am happy to join, my name is Lilynette, but that's a lot so most people call me Lily." she said with a smile. "At your service." she mentioned which made Master Gula smile. "Yay! I thought this was going to be so much harder to pull off. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find any one to join and I would end up in the library all day trying to figure out the social aspect of this." she mentioned with a nod. "Thank you for your help, Sion~" she said knowing the young man had done a lot to move this process along.

Bloodedge

02-04-2017, 07:22 AM

"Yes, thrice. And like I said, call it cheating, but... gotcha," the brown-haired male spoke with a grin beneath the shadow of his hood. Meanwhile, the two potential recruits seemed to be coming to their respective decisions about whether they would join the Leopardos Union or not. Lilynette was the first to speak on this matter, and she did so in favor of this Union. When this exchange was over, Kou spoke. "I think it's a pretty good idea. I'll join too. I'm Kou, by the way!" the boy stated. Sion grinned wider when confirmation of these two joining came. The Master Gula even saw it fit to thank him, but to this, he shook his head. "The pleasure was mine. Only for you, Master Gula."

Apollymi

02-04-2017, 07:47 AM

A smile crossed the woman's face as it became obvious that the young man with her understood he was cheating a bit with his time manipulation. But that was fine, considered that it turned out for the benefit of Gula she couldn't really argue with the usefulness of this young man's skills. Moving right along there was the matter of greeting her two newest recruits. "Nice to meet you both, Kou, and Lily." said Master Gula smiling to both of them. "Yosh, Kou we can stay partnered up now." said Lily about the boy she'd apparently taken as her training partner, though she seemed to be a bit more advanced than him. Meanwhile, Sion seemed content to not accept the thanks that she'd offered, even addressing her by her new name. "Only for me? Well isn't that nice.~" she said seeming to not be sure of what to make of that, but making a general assumption that this too had been tried a couple of times. But there was one thing she'd forgotten to ask that she would now in order to avoid any future confusion. "The Master changed your name too, right? What's your new one?" she asked.

02-04-2017, 08:06 AM

"Awesome! Well, I mean... I was probably going to join whatever Union you did anyway, but I kinda hoped for this one," Kou said, revealing both his initial plan and his existing desire to join the Leopardos Union. He was quite excited to begin these alleged competitions. They seemed to be a fun and useful way to increase the amount of skill the boy possessed. Perhaps he would even be able to catch up to the young woman called Lilynette at some point. Luxu turned his gaze entirely toward Gula when all was said and done, finding it interesting that his words had served a positive purpose this time. "Go figure. It only took one try that time," he said. When asked his new name, he took a brief pause. He had all but forgotten that, though he had mentioned his name before, this occurred in a separate timeline. "Luxu. By all means, though, feel free to ignore it. Well... when not around the others. They're a talkative bunch."

Apollymi

02-04-2017, 08:31 AM

"You could have just said that to start with. Who knows, I might have sided with you instead." she said. Lilynette apparently respected Kou in some way, even though he was a bit weaker than she was. Regardless of this point, the conversation between Gula and Luxu was apparently still taking place, with the latter apparently lamenting that he hadn't needed to do this particular conversation over multiple times, then subsequently sharing his new name. Which the young woman was apparently given permission to ignore when they weren't in the company of their peers. "Luxu huh? I think the Master went a bit crazy with her gift giving recently... I don't know what to think of these names. " she said about names apparently given both to herself and to the young man hidden in the black cloak before her. "Oh? Are they talkative... I hadn't noticed." the woman said. And though most would have seen this as sarcasm she wasn't being that way at all, she rarely noticed what her peers got up to, when it didn't directly concern whatever she happened to be researching.

"I agree. I sort of like them, but they're still just a bit... weird. Then again, that's the Master in a nutshell." The more Luxu thought about it, the more he came to realize that these were simply the antics of the Master they knew. If she had never been anything else, she had always been a very strange individual by all accounts. More importantly during this moment though, was the fact that Gula hadn't noticed the talkativeness of her own peers. "I figured you wouldn't. You're always too busy with your face shoved in a book," he said, pausing thereafter. "I... meant that as a compliment. I'll try not rewinding that one."

"Yes, very much like the Master. I suppose I'll adjust to it at the very least." said Gula, in conclusion about the naming of them as individuals. Or rather, their renaming. As the conversation shifted it seemed that Luxu apparently had something to say about her not noticing the talkativeness of their peers. And his follow up statement was one that could be seen as harsh, but for some reason, even without the explanation provided by the cloaked young man, she hadn't taken that statement negatively. "Well, even without you saying it was a compliment, I didn't take it negatively. I am quite honestly always wrapped up in a book. Actually I ran into a couple of people like that this afternoon." she said seeming a bit abashed about her inability to focus on things other than those that interested her. "That being said I do appreciate the compliment~" she mentioned.

"That's the ticket. I'd give you the spoiler, but I don't think I can come back from that far into the future," Luxu commented. By this point, the young male was standing with his arms crossed and a steady gaze set on the Leopardos Union's Master. "I guess I'm running two strong then. Or... was it three? Four?" he began asking. He hadn't gotten entirely used to reversing time quite yet, so he was liable to mix just a few things up. Such was the case now, but he figured he could easily move past it... eventually. "This isn't working as well as I wanted it to, is it?"

Apollymi

02-04-2017, 11:56 AM

"Naw, I don't need spoilers. Though I do thank you for the offer.~ " she mentioned absently. Plus she wouldn't really want this young man to disappear because he'd gone too far forward. After all she quite enjoyed this young man's company. As for the strength of his apparent approaches Gula had to take a few seconds to think about it. "I think it's a solid four by now." she mentioned with her usual manner. As for how it was actually going a smile spread across her lips. "It's probably going better than you think..." she said looking at the cloaked young man. To be honest she was presently leaving her new union members to get acquainted while she spoke to someone she already knew for obvious reasons.

"Four? Hmm. This is becoming something of a memory exercise for me," he said. After repeating the same scene thrice with different outcomes each time, things ended up becoming a bit mixed. Teleportation led him to sit atop a nearby ledge, not very far from where he stood previously, but a bit more distant to the members of the Leopardos Union. He uncrossed his arms just enough to wave Gula toward himself as he gave his response to her latter statement. "Better than I think, you say? Don't make me rewind and fish for clues."

Apollymi

02-04-2017, 01:09 PM

It wouldn't be very long before a giggle would escape the young woman who seemed to find his mental exercises interesting. "Well, you could always just try the conversation without making it work out for you. Unless of course you just like the memory game." she mentioned. Seeming to find the boy's choice interesting. Soon enough he was posted up on a nearby ledge and she was soon enough to join him. Leaving her union to tend itself which was likely something she'd do anyways. Moving right along the young man seemed to take particular interest in the last thing she'd had to say. "You don't have to rewind and fish for clues." she said about what she meant every time. "It's probably going better than you think... simply because you were always my favorite too." she mentioned thinking about it, she thought to quantify this. "You're the only one I really talk to... and that I'm willing to pause otherwise engaging reading for." she mentioned. Knowing that she was the sort of bookworm that literally never stopped reading anything, the fact that her face wasn't presently buried in a book spoke volumes of her favoritism.

Bloodedge

02-04-2017, 01:41 PM

"Huh? You're telling me not to use my cheats to make things work out in my favor? You almost make it sound like I have the ability to do that," he jested. There was only a short amount of time before Gula joined him at the ledge, prompting him to tap against the space next to where he sat. In this time, there was the admission to favoritism which he could only previously speculate about. "Good to know I win against a book. Maybe I'll write an autobiography so it makes more sense when I'm compared to one."

Apollymi

02-04-2017, 02:04 PM

"Are you implying you don't?" the girl questioned rhetorically. Of course, she immediately took notice of the motion of the young man for her to sit next to him, so she did. In the time she was taking her seat, it seemed the young man was happy to receive the news that he was also her favorite of their peers. "Winning against books is no small feat when it comes to me. One can not underestimate my curious nature." she mentioned though the idea of reading his autobiography was rather amusing. "Though, if you ever get around to writing that autobiography... I'd be happy to read it." Gula stated with untold glee. One should never underestimate the like of a good book.

Bloodedge

02-04-2017, 08:27 PM

"Nope. I'm just fishing," replied the cloaked male. It was apparently worth noting how attached to her reading the Master called Gula was; something Luxu knew, though possibly not quite as well as the other Masters. There was also the matter of Luxu's apparent autobiography being something the young woman would read, though it was surely something he would never actually think of doing. "It's a title I don't think you should wait for the release of. I'm seventeen; I haven't even lived a life yet."

Apollymi

02-04-2017, 08:43 PM

"Figures." Gula said. Of course, this young man would know that she liked her reading, though since he was actually capable of getting her to stop reading and having a conversation he wouldn't know how much she really didn't normally speak to others. Of course, the amount of focus she put into such things, was probably the root of her one developed skill, that that this needed explaining. The mention that the young man sitting beside her was quite young to be thinking of his autobiography made the young woman laugh a bit, she couldn't help but tease just a little bit in response. "Aww, don't say that... I was a bit excited. And I'm only 18... it's not like I don't have plenty of time to wait on it~" she jested with the young man thinking it amusing. Perhaps she should have made more varied efforts to speak to people. Or at the very least, she should have done so even more frequently with this particular young man. She couldn't help but think she would have enjoyed her training even more if she'd put forth more of an effort to have a bit of fun outside of her reading. Of course, she now had plenty of time to do this, even with the duties she had, so...

Bloodedge

02-04-2017, 09:03 PM

Once again, Sion resorted to a casual crossing of his arms as he sat upon the ledge next to the other Master. Though he took no issue whatsoever with a decent read, he did not share Gula's level of attachment, and he had no real interest whatsoever in writing such a thing. "Still, I wouldn't have any expectations. Besides... you have the Book of Prophecies to keep you occupied. I wasn't given such a thing."

Apollymi

02-04-2017, 09:15 PM

At the mention that the young man really wasn't interested in his autobiography the girl pouted. She supposed she'd have to learn analog more about him. Of course, she was fine with this so the pout itself was nothing more than playful at this point. There was one such casual context clue dropped to the young woman which made her eyes sparkle with interest. "You didn't get one? Hmm, so no Union, no book, no animal affiliation. Given the abilities of your Keyblade, the Master probably didn't want you breaking time with foreknowledge." she said seeming to understand the theory by which their less than stable Master had come to not give this young man a book. Besides that fact, each of the people were presumably given a specific set of tasks, probably as a way to try and keep the balance and vet each other. "Well, I do have that, but like I said... you're more interesting than the books. Even ones about the future." she said, and when speaking the word future she made her fingers wiggle in front of her as if it was mysterious. She figured given the fact that this young man didn't have a book this would be the one thing she couldn't discuss with him. The Master to be fair had done her part to make sure this girl because the impartial judge of her friends as far as finding the potential 'traitor'. Still, she couldn't see that person being the young man at her side.

Bloodedge

02-05-2017, 12:57 PM

"I think it may have gone a bit deeper than that," he said about the reason he hadn't been given a copy of the Book of Prophecies, or a Union to oversee. "A Union would be nice, and a book to see the future is cool, but the Master gave me my own way of seeing the future. It's a more... direct approach, I guess? I'm probably not supposed to mention that, but the Master never specified in any of the interactions I had with her today. Besides, if I try for secrecy, I'm sure you'll eventually find out anyway."

Apollymi

02-05-2017, 01:17 PM

"Oh?" Gula mentioned. It seemed that the man now known as Luxu wasn't left out at all, and seemed to have received something different from their Master. "Ah... well, as long as you weren't left out completely that is fine." she said about the special things he'd received. Of course as this thought continued it seemed that he thought maybe he wasn't supposed to mention in any directness what he'd gotten. "Eh? Well, the Master usually lets things like that out in the open. She's quite odd I think..." she said with a smile. As for what she would have found out she could only shrug. "Curious nature is curious." she mentioned of her own personality. "I probably would have looked into something secret... unless you were going to tell me yourself anyways~" she said with a small smirk.

Bloodedge

02-05-2017, 01:47 PM

"It's still a bit weird. I can't be grouped in with the rest of you guys. Not that I really wanted to, but... I might get bored if left without a choice." As the cloaked Master spoke, he held out both hands and summoned his pair of Keyblades. His left hand formed an ethereal blue glow to call on his original Keyblade with its clock theme, and his right hand opened with a surprisingly dark aura emitting to produce the strange Keyblade given to him recently by the Master of Masters. "You don't think I'd keep secrets from you, do you? One with the power to see forward in time, and one with the power to go backwards in time."

Apollymi

02-05-2017, 02:15 PM

"Well, you are her favorite." she said of the boy known now as Luxu. "It would make sense if she couldn't group you with the rest of us. Besides that... you stand out quite a bit..." she noted thoughtfully. If he needed any more evidence of this there was the simple matter that she and the rest of their peers had all noticed his superior efforts, even among a group such as them. And in thought they were all well above the standard grade for Keyblade Wielders. Moving right along there was a showing of his two Keyblades simultaneously along with an explanation for what each of them do. It was a bit stunning in theory, and this seemed to fill the lass Gula with a fair bit of excitement. "Oh? Well, I didn't think you would so, unless perhaps you were instructed to do so. You have always been straightforward with me~" she mentioned seemingly amused. "That new Keyblade of yours is quite interesting. I got a new one as well but to be fair, I haven't even bothered trying it out yet." she said opening her hand in front of her... doing so caused her new Keyblade to appear in her hand, it was a leopard themed lightning blade by the best of her approximation. "I noticed mine has this strange eye on the charm... it looks a bit like the one in the top of your new one... and the one at the bottom of yours. " she said with a small smile. "Yep, you're definitely the favorite." As one of the more scholarly of their group, she was good at making observations.

Bloodedge

02-05-2017, 08:48 PM

"I probably wouldn't even if I had instructions to." When this new Keyblade of his was addressed, Luxu spun it around in his right hand. Apparently, the fact that his Keyblade had two Gazing Eyes featured on it was enough evidence to assign him the favored position of the Master of Masters. "I wouldn't say that. It's not like these are just symbols, either way. Between the two of us, this one is the Master's eye," he said. With that, Luxu flipped off the ledge he sat upon, landing on the ground only a meter away while facing Gula. "So, if you haven't tried it out, why not do so now? Unless you were looking to find more members for your Union first."

Apollymi

02-05-2017, 09:10 PM

"Oh, well that's good to know." she said aloud with a bit of a chuckle. This chuckle soon shifted into a bit of a wide eyed gaze beneath her mask. "What? The Master's eye?!" she questioned seeming to allow those pieces to fall into place within her mind. "Oh... that is how she sees the future. I suppose that makes sense but... that is a bit hardcore for a scholarly endeavor." she said of their Master. The woman was obviously a bit unhinged, but to go so far as to remove her own eye to do a thing, made her wonder about the Master's motives.

Moving right along Luxu seemed to jump off of the ledge they'd been sitting on and offered to be her training partner for her newly acquired Keyblade, unless she wanted to look for more members of her Union. About the three she'd managed to pick up so far, she was lacking in nothing. "I guess, I could go for a bit of a stretch, and I am fine with my current set of Union members, the ones who come next, will come because of them..." she mentioned. "So, should we show them how it's done then?" she said as she also dropped from the ledge Keyblade still in hand. Surprisingly enough her first move, was to make a bit more distance happen between herself and Luxu, which would be followed up immediately by the leopard masked young woman tossing her Keyblade towards the man aiming to strike him with the Keyblade before making it come back towards her.

Bloodedge

02-06-2017, 02:35 AM

"Fair enough," he said regarding Gula's acceptance of her Union's current state. "Let's give them a goal to work for." And with that, their little scrimmage began, with Gula initiating. Her choice for the first attack was a simple, yet versatile skill known among its users as Strike Raid. As it approached, Luxu banished his original Keyblade and swung his newer one, the Master Seeker, toward the incoming weapon to deflect it. While Gula's Keyblade was making its way back to her, he decided to send something else along with it, choosing to throw his own Keyblade in the same manner she had done previously. Luxu's chosen version of the attack, however, engulfed his Keyblade in flames when it was performed, making it threaten to ignite the other Master on impact.

Not far from the ongoing battle, the boy known as Johan had been conversing with the two individuals he would now call his teammates. Through his periphery, he caught sight of the heavier-than-normal amount of movement occurring nearby. This brought his attention to the two Masters once again. "Two Masters are fighting," he said with his eyes wide and his mouth agape. "This is gonna be awesome! Or... dangerous..."

Apollymi

02-06-2017, 03:19 AM

"Or scare them half to death... either is possible at this point." Gula mentioned as her own Keyblade was returning to her after being blocked by Luxu, it seemed that he was content to send at least one of his towards her. In so doing, he coated the whole thing in flames threatening to engulf her person in flames. Whether from knowledge of Luxu himself or having a general understanding of the use of thrown Keyblades, the young woman reached out for her own, gliding out of the way of the coming Keyblade with an amount of speed which would probably seem startling to those unfamiliar with her abilities. After doing so she tucked into a roll going straight forward Keyblade in hand threatening to strike the young man's fore with both her Keyblade and body coated in lightning, directly to his fore, while continuing her roll if she should hit or be dodged.

The girl of their new group, known as Lily also turned to begin watching the apparent show being put on by the pair of Masters in front of them. Even if it was to be exceedingly dangerous, she definitely wanted to watch, imagine what new tricks she could pick up if she could keep her eyes on both of the individuals here. "It's probably going to be both. That's cool though~ We'll learn so much!~" she mentioned seeming content to switch their getting to know each other conversation to one about the battle now taking place.

Bloodedge

02-06-2017, 04:46 AM

"I think it'll have the same end result regardless," he said. Instead of guarding against his thrown Keyblade, she chose to avoid the strike and charge toward him in a roll with lightning surrounding herself and her Keyblade. Given the Leopardos Master's speed advantage, Luxu had no time to wait for his Keyblade to return to him. So, instead of waiting, he re-summoned it directly to his hand. Once it was returned to him, he performed a cartwheel to his left, shrouding himself in flames that were left in his wake. If Gula were to continue as planned beyond the point that impact would have initially taken place with the male, she would find herself passing through the flames he left behind. "You know, that mask almost makes me think I'm fighting someone different."

"You're right. I guess we'll just be chatting later. This is too good already," said Johan in the face of the Masters' battle. Kou, the younger male of the group, seemed to have a slightly different opinion on this matter. "Uhh... should we maybe move away from them a bit?"

Apollymi

02-06-2017, 05:10 AM

"I suppose that is true. Scary things usually spur people into action~" she said as she rolled. Of course she fully expected the young man to move out of her way, and with his pyromaniac tendencies she also expected fire to be part of the movement and she was not at all disappointed. Her ability to focus in battle allowed her to slow her own perception of time in an instant, allowing her to change her form from a rolling ball of thunder into a standing glide to the same direction Luxu had gone. Such a movement would be flawless, and likely imperceptible to their watchers, it would seem like an instantaneous directional shift. Once it was completed the young woman found herself facing the young man. "Makes you think you're fighting someone different. Sounds like a trick of the mind because we haven't seen each other's faces in ages. I thought something similar... not seeing your face~" she mentioned as her Keyblade was immediately sent into orbit around her person thus aiming to batter the young man multiple times while she kept herself in range of him. "Also... I definitely waited a second too long. These robes are a bit warm now~"

Meanwhile the young woman with the two males heard what both of them had to say. To the male known as Johan she could only nod and reply. "Yep. Definitely that.... I think I might have blinked, wasn't she headed straight for the flames?" she said. The other male seemed to think they required a bit of distance as such the girl tilted her head back just a bit. "If you're worried about it Kou, we can move up to the roof there..." she said with a slight twitch of her head towards a small ledge which was up and away enough to practically clear an arena for the combat they were watching while leaving the trio out of harm's way... relatively speaking.

Bloodedge

02-06-2017, 07:58 AM

"I... I don't know. I thought maybe I had blinked too," Johan added to the query posed by Lilynette. It was highly unlikely that both parties had blinked, and such a thought was beginning to make Johan side with the boy named Kou on moving. Taking Lilynette's suggested path into account, he leaped toward the rooftop, with Kou following shortly behind. "I'm all for it; it's kinda scary down here."

"We could always ditch the get-ups and do things normally," Luxu stated. It seemed Gula had successfully utilized her high maneuverability to escape the flame trap he had set for her, even while having her clothes allegedly warmed by the fire. The next Raid skill used by Gula first met a duck performed by Luxu, followed by a barrier formed to keep the latter strikes at bay as he worked toward his next move. "We've got a bit of a cliche going. Let's step it up though," he said. As his barrier disappeared, he held his Keyblade overhead and formed a large ball of fire at its tip. The heat from this spell was great enough to be felt at the location of the others, even if they all moved, and in the moment of this spell's initiation, Luxu's hood flew back. He stared directly into the eye of his friend and opponent, his amber gaze joined by a surprisingly casual grin as he spoke. "Fire!" Of the six Masters in this world, Luxu's proverbial crown could be considered one of flames. His spell grew a great deal larger than the norm, and began launching additional balls of fire from its core in all directions.

Apollymi

02-06-2017, 08:55 AM

"Yep, time to move." And with that Lilynette joined the change in venue by hopping up, such a movement would lead to dent being left behind in the ground as she found higher ground to avoid their Master, and her friends' rather friendly but dangerous competition. Which seemed to be heating up in present moments.

"I suppose we could." she said as she shifted around, recalling her Keyblade after a few strikes were dodged and met by a barrier of some sort. She fully acknowledged the boy's words about their ongoing cliche and she seemed to find it amusing in some way. "And I thought I was the one who read one too many novels. Just as well... when we start taking this more seriously... they may begin to understand." she thought absently. She knew that most didn't understand why the group chosen by the Master was chosen as they were, but if the boy before her wore a crown of flames... then the young woman donned one of lightning, as flames began to grow and spread from a single command the woman didn't seem at all concerned. In fact the only change in her countenance was a raise of her Keyblade which left it pointed at the sky. "Thunder." A gentle twist of her wrist and a word seemed to call down multiple bolts of strong lighting aiming to strike each of the fire balls released by the young man halting their progress and done with enough power to blow back the young woman's half mask and hood. Revealing her face and rather vibrant green eyes as well as tufts of white hair around her face. "Hmm, that's better. Nice to see you again~" she said seemingly amused by this entire situation. But this wasn't all she had to offer, her blade seemed to be teeming with electrical energy and it was soon shining causing the young woman to jump and then begin trying to bash the young man with a lightning covered Keyblade. If the heat of the flames of Sion were felt, then the static charge which would remain after the woman's most recent choice in defense would also be felt. It was quite an interesting clash, though she herself was no magician in any real sense of the word.

Having joined the others on higher ground, Lily was stunned into silence by the thing she was witnessing below her. And she was immediately both hot and felt the tiniest prickle of electricity against her skin. It was quite odd, that these two were so obviously powerful, but not actually trying to harm each other. She could only imagine what would happen if either of them put forth any real effort. And in this moment, though she realized she stood above a great number of her peers, she still couldn't hold a candle to either of the two individuals below. Such a realization would be obvious on her face as her mouth opened and closed, she was literally speechless.

Bloodedge

02-06-2017, 09:28 AM

"I'm sure they will." The fireballs unleashed by Luxu did not last long. While they would have gone on to cause heavy damage across a wide range, Gula went about eliminating them one by one using her own Thunder element spell. During this time, the young woman's mask and hood were blown away. Following a whistle, Luxu spoke. "Likewise. Easily ten times better without the mask," he commented. Even though the offshoots of his attack were quickly dealt with, Luxu still had the original fireball. After pulling his Keyblade back, he swung it forward to unleash said fireball in a projectile toward Gula. "Flare!" he called out. On impact with Gula, or with anything for that matter, this fireball would trigger a wide-scale explosion to deal great concussive and burning damage.

On the rooftop, Kou fanned himself with his left hand, while Johan pulled on his collar and gazed upon his free hand to witness the hairs on it stand straight. Even this warm-up for the Masters was something that went far beyond their comprehension. "These are Masters... they're more ridiculous than I could have thought."

Apollymi

02-06-2017, 09:49 AM

"Oh, stop it you~" the girl mentioned a minor blush coming to her face. It wasn't anything she could do about such a thing, she rarely felt the slightest bit flustered about anything, but such commentary was the sort of thing that got to her, specifically from this young man in her present company. Still there was the matter of the original fireball he was still holding on to, and though her blade was still charged with electricity, there was very little she could think of to do aside from confront the large ball of fire with three of thunder. "Plasma~" she called as her own attack blasted from the tip of her Keyblade, to collide with the ball of fire causing massive and widespread damage right between the pair of them. Heat, electricity and concussive damage would radiate outwards as two completely ridiculous spells crashed into each other. When they did she took the opportunity to glide around doing her best to avoid any unnecessary damage while she did. But when the dust settled the girl would be covered in soot and coughing just a tad wiping dust from her face a couple of meters away from Luxu himself. "Those two spells... really don't like each other very much." she mentioned in a seemingly joking manner. If this continued on in such a way she could see this entire section of the world being completely and utterly marred by their behavior. Still, it was more than a little bit of fun. Beyond this point there was the matter that Gula had used several spells she generally avoided because though she was skilled enough to use them, she had far fewer magical reserves than she had physical energy. At heart she was still more focused on the speed of her body than she was the strength of her magic, so in this sort of combat, Luxu would in her mind, emerge victorious. Not that she had any problem with this...

Lily seemed to finally find her voice again, though her throat was admittedly dry and she felt as if she had goose bumps from the previous bouts of electrical energy. If nothing else, the explosion between the pair of spells used seemed to be something that mystified the girl. "They are way outta my league too. I'm stunned they are even allowed to do stuff." she said as if she was completely taken aback. After all it wasn't often that one got to witness a clashing such as this one, without being maimed by the experience, and though the concussive blow, heat and static had spread about the area, shaking the very ground and building they were atop, the trio would likely be no worse for wear.

Bloodedge

02-06-2017, 10:35 AM

"Why would I stop when it's working?" he said with a cheeky grin as two spells collided and created a blast the likes of which repelled Luxu. He came to a skidding stop after moving a few meters back, still holding his left arm over his face. "Ugh! I think it got in my mouth!" he said. With his left sleeve, Luxu took a moment to wipe off his face, thinking it to be an appropriate time for at least a brief pause. "Yeah... let's not do that again when we're that close. Good work on that Magic, though. I might need to train more to keep up."

Apollymi

02-06-2017, 10:45 AM

"Well..." she thought about it more, and surprisingly enough, Gula didn't have an answer to why he should stop something that was obviously working. Even so, it appeared that they were both repelled by the blast they'd created and while she was busy wiping soot and the like from her own face, her opponent was doing the same. His mentioned that he'd managed to get some in his mouth make her laugh a little, but she didn't tease him about this. Instead, she choose to address what was said after, returning to her usual calm and collected demeanor. "Thank you very much. I see that you are indeed still quite the pyromaniac~" she said with a single note of teasing about the nature of his spell usage. Moving right along, she chose to address the latter half of his statement next. "What are you talking about you might need to train more? You're the magic specialist, I mean practice if you want... but no need to be so modest. Especially on my account." she said with a bit of a smile. "I am the one who needs more training, that spell is the pinnacle of my magical abilities. In fact, the last time I tried it... I passed out. So, I'm actually surprised it worked at all~" she said. In true scholarly fashion, she tended to create things and use them only to figure out how they worked. And once she understood them, she moved on to more practical things. The Plasma spell she used as a variation of her 'Thunder' based skills was one such impractically created spell. While they were having her break time she finally stopped rubbing her face, hoping it to be clean enough given the massive blast the pair had created.

Bloodedge

02-06-2017, 11:18 AM

"Exactly," he replied to the young woman's incomplete statement. Once he had successfully cleaned himself up a bit, Luxu spun his Keyblade around and took a few steps toward the other Master. "It's not all fire. I just thought it'd be a bit rude to freeze you in time or magnetize you in the middle of all that," he said regarding his apparent pyromania. As for the alleged modesty he was showing in this moment, he chuckled. "I'm not being as modest as you think. I mean, I've got some Magic going for me, but you've got a good bit of everything going. Have some faith in your own strength."

Apollymi

02-06-2017, 11:33 AM

The girl likely would have found some displeasure in this moment, if she'd not enjoyed this particular young man's company so much. Moving right along, it appeared that the young man's skills didn't just include fire, he just thought it to be the least offensive of his skills to use in a friendly competition, she understood this more than most. "I know the feeling... I got this new gravity spell that is pretty cool... but definitely not all that friendly~" she mentioned seeming amused. He then went on to say that she should have more faith in her abilities, as he might have had magic going for him, but she had a bit of everything else. She supposed that was quite true, even so... given their spar of choice, it didn't seem like the extra physical nature of her combat style would be that useful outside of very specific situations. "Hmm, I suppose that all makes sense." she concluded offering the young man a smile. "We could always trade, I'll get you whipped into physical shape and you can show me some new spells~" the fairness of such a trade would be undeniably beneficial, not that she needed such a thing, at this point it was more or less an excuse to have some other reason to see Luxu while attending to her duties as a Union Leader.

"Sounds like fun. If either of us ever goes Heartless hunting again, we should both go so I can check that out," he suggested. It seemed Gula was not the only one here simply looking for an excuse in this situation. Sion, too, would have rather avoided fulfilling his role in seclusion; especially if he had the choice to remain at the side of his most favored peer. "That sounds like fun. Actually, if you don't mind, I could stand to have a bit of help getting new spells to work. I figure you might have a good bit of research, if I could have a look at your books."

Apollymi

02-06-2017, 12:48 PM

"Of course, that'd be really fun." she said about the showing off of her other new abilities, which were less than friendly for non-mortal combat. It seemed though in this moment she wasn't the only one looking for an excuse to spend a little extra time together at some point in the future. The question of using her research to help him complete his spells made her smile and wave him off just a bit. "Of course, you can use my research if you want. You don't even have to ask... I'll be more than happy to help." she said, finding no greater happiness than helping out the favorite of her peers.

02-06-2017, 01:09 PM

"Alright then. It's a date," Luxu said as he held up his Keyblade and let it dematerialize. He considered the amount they had done here to be enough for their little spar, lest they end up causing more destruction than either of them would probably like. More importantly, he had succeeded in finding the excuse he sought, though he truly did require a bit of research information to accomplish a few new things. "I'll come by later tonight, if that's alright with you. I figured that would be plenty of time for you to do... well, whatever it is you were doing."

Apollymi

02-06-2017, 01:20 PM

"Alright then~" the young woman agreed without much fuss. It was quite a pleasant thought, that she wouldn't have to entertain herself all the time while she was committing herself to her Union duties. It appeared that this young man was also content to stop their little spar, which was also fine with her considering how much destruction they'd managed to cause in such a short amount of time. Given that she seemed to be perfectly fine letting her own new Keyblade disappear from her hand as well. Moving right along, it seemed that this supposed date idea, at least for the research would be used as an excuse for the day. Given this... it seemed that she'd have plans with him later, as she could do nothing more than agree. "Of course, it's alright with me. I was only going to show them something else... and then leave them to their own devices and learning, and do a bit more reading of course, you can... come by when you're ready." mentioned the young woman as she more than alright with this arrangement.

"Will do. If my experiment works, I'll even show you the trick to it. See you later," the young man said as he raised his hood again. In the next moment, he vanished into thin air, leaving Gula and the others to their devices. However, this was when another male made his presence known. The larger of the Master of Masters' apprentices, who now answered to the name Aced, had been standing on a rooftop adjacent to the Leopardos Union members long enough to catch the last half of the fight. He had to say, he was entertained. "You could have told me if you wanted a challenge, y'know," he said to the female Master below. "I could have given you a way better time."

Apollymi

02-07-2017, 09:32 AM

"Alright then, see you later." she said to Luxu who was now on his way out with the promise of showing her the trick to his new technique if he managed to perfect it. Moving right along, the young woman moved again, picking up her mask to return it to her face, and while she was doing this, she was greeted by another male and familiar voice. It was one of her peers, though not one she had any great occasion to speak to. "Oh... Akira..." she said giving herself a bit of pause. "I suppose you have a different name now too..." she said. This man wasn't on the list of people she spoke with regularly, but there was no reason to be anything other than cordial. "Well it wasn't like I planned that little match. Besides... it was a different sort of fun." she said hopping up to the same level as the large blue haired man. "So... what brings you here?" she asked, wondering if this male had already found the first few members of his union or if he planned to get one from here.

Bloodedge

02-07-2017, 10:07 AM

"Aced," the blue-haired man replied to inform the other Master of his current name. Since Gula joined him on the roof, he didn't need to move to her location. This was in his favor, as he didn't much care to do so, though he would share a few words with the young woman. "Yeah, that's my point. Different fun. Exercise with a little more recreation and all," he commented, seeming to be content with moving right along into his next statement. "I'm looking to build the Ursus Union. I wanted to try and pull Lilynette over there, but it looks like you got to her first. Shame. She was a fast grower."

Apollymi

02-07-2017, 10:32 AM

"Aced?" she thought a bit more. "Yep, confirmed, the Master went a bit off the wall with the naming, Gula is what she chose to call me for whatever reason." she said slipping her own adjusted name into the conversation in case, this was ever needed to be referenced. It seemed the blue haired man would only cause the woman to chuckle. "Well... I don't really have much to say to that. I'd rather flex my mind in most cases." she said, as a matter of fact. She'd entertained Luxu in this way, because she liked him more than everyone else. Moving right along it seemed that Gula had succeeded in procuring someone apparently wanted by another of her peers. "Oh? Lily, huh? She's quite good from what I've seen of her, I didn't come looking for her, but I ended up both with her and her orange haired companion Kou... as well." she said, quite proud of her recent acquisitions, but easily returning to the calm and level headed demeanor she maintained with the majority of the population. "I'm quite pleased about that, Luxu was trying to take her as an apprentice as well." she said, of the girl who showed a more than considerable amount of promise. "I wish you luck in finding your Union members Aced~"

Bloodedge

02-07-2017, 10:47 AM

"Gula? ... Alright," he said, accepting the new, albeit strange name given to this individual by their Master. To the response Gula had for his other statement, he had but one simple thing to say. "There's brain stuff involved too." As the conversation continued, Aced found himself looking in the direction of Lilynette, Kou and Johan, finding the orange-haired lad to be... lacking, so to speak. However, the others seemed decent, and he could already attest to the former's prowess. "Win some, lose some, I guess. Looks like you've got an overall win. And I'm guessing Luxu is Sion. If he wanted her, I'd watch out. Knowing him, he'll keep trying even if she's in your Union. Anyway... good luck on your journey too. I've gotta find somebody worthwhile."

Apollymi

02-07-2017, 11:16 AM

"Whatever you say." said the young woman, both about her new name, and about this supposed 'brain stuff' involved in whatever activity Aced happened to have been offering her. When he went on to comment about the apparent strength of the start of her Union and Luxu formerly known as Sion having a bit of relentlessness in him she could only shake her head. "Luxu doesn't concern me in such a way. Plus he already said I beat him to her. He even helped me negotiate her joining my Union." she said with a small smile on her face. Of course this was quite true he'd helped her attain her most recent acquisitions. And as they progressed it seemed like the master of the Ursus Union was going to find someone worth adding to his grouping. With that in mind the young woman hopped down, going to rejoin her own group assuming this blue haired man would go about his own business as well.

All while this happened a young woman seemed to be in another area not to far away. She'd felt the stir of magic in the air and it definitely seemed like something she should have avoided. Since there were no cries for help or anything of the like, she assumed it was a training exercise of some sort. Either way, she was now standing with her butterfly and spider themed clothes on in the middle of a large open field covered in dandelions. She liked this place, mostly because it was empty all the time, and she planned to use it... for now all alone. With this in mind she summoned a rather strange looking Keyblade with two helix strands in pink and blue leading up to a crown type of tooth at the top. She held this in her hand then threw it, causing it to circle her person several times. She was trying to perfect one of her newest acquired skills, but this one had gone a bit wide and was now hurtling even further out than she'd anticipated, and with much greater strength than one would normally expect.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 05:31 AM

"Hmph. How charitable." Aced had nothing else to say following his scoff at the apparent assistance Luxu had provided this Master. Since there was nothing else to this exchange, he properly left Gula and her Union to their own devices, choosing to continue wandering the town. Eventually, this led to him passing through a mostly empty field of dandelions to reach another populated area. His lack of attention to detail as he made this journey resulted in a wide Circle Raid, performed by a certain young woman in the vicinity, to strike the side of his arm and draw his gaze. "Huh?" he said aloud as his eyes locked onto the lass. The strike didn't seem to affect this man one bit, but he was briefly taken aback by the presence of another person in this field. "I didn't think there was someone out here."

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 05:44 AM

The girl's use of an ability she was learning called Circle Raid had gone a bit awry, and before she could recall her Keyblade it smashed into an individual who seemed to be completely unfazed by the entire ordeal. Still her eyes widened as she recalled her Keyblade to her hand and bowed, seeming embarrassed about the whole thing. "I didn't think anyone else was out here, sorry. I came out here to practice without potentially hurting anyone... I didn't expect to hit someone my first go." she said, though he didn't seem to be hurt she thought it best to apologize anyways. He wore an odd set of clothing complete with a mask which made him one of the Masters direct apprentices, and as such she didn't want to offend anyone. She had a rather athletic build and rather tall for a girl of just sixteen. Her strike had been fairly powerful and probably would have caused a bit of harm to anyone hit by it in such a direct manner, even if the man before her seemed to not care about said strike one way or the other.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 05:52 AM

The Master Aced tugged on his sleeve to do away with a few ruffles that had been created by the Keyblade strike against it. As he did so, he shook his head, not caring at all for the apology of the girl. "Don't worry about it. I was actually looking for somebody like you. That's a pretty strong arm you've got on you. What are you, about twenty?" he asked. Though he didn't plan on recruiting anyone random, this sudden interaction was already looking up to be one of his preference. Perhaps this would be his first Union member. "More importantly, let me get something out of the way now. My name is Aced. We Masters are forming Unions to compete against each other in the fight against the Darkness. I'm looking for people to join the Ursus Union, the backup force in a way. Interested?"

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 06:04 AM

A second after her apology was basically pushed to the side the girl straightened up, banishing her Keyblade from her hand and seeming to relax quite a bit. Of course, this still wasn't the most relaxing situation to find yourself in, but overall it could have gone much worse. The follow up to the dismissal of her apology was a compliment about her arm and a guess at her age which made the girl's eyes widen and a small blush come to her face. She looked off to the side while she rubbed the back of her head with one arm. She as actually quite used to people mistaking her for someone much older than she was, and it usually was because of her build and height. She'd clear this up in a bit as the man named himself and went on to explain exactly what he was looking for and asked her if she wanted to join him in this endeavor of Union forming. "Ah... that is a lot, Master Aced." the girl mentioned thinking about it she decided it was best to address all points in order. "Thanks for the compliment. I'm Jolyne... and I wouldn't mind joining this Union. Sounds like fun and a good way to build my skills." she said. She hadn't met any of the other Masters, and didn't want to be last in line to get picked. She knew her skills weren't exactly the highest among her peers and as such to get scouted by such an individual was good for her. "Oh... and I'm sixteen. People often think I am much older than that... but I'm not." she said, remembering that it was better to clear that up sooner rather than waiting until later when it could become weird.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 06:21 AM

"It will be a good way to build your skills. As a matter of fact," he said as he dug into his pocket, eventually retrieving a chain of rings with a pale lilac token featuring two curved spikes protruding from a central point. This was what he immediately had to offer the girl. "Here." As a Master, Aced not only boasted the greatest physical strength, but also experience with use of Keychains and Keyblade transformation. As such, he tended to have a few extras on him at any given time, and he could immediately offer this to his first Union member. Upon discovering the girl's true age, though, his eyes widened and a bead of sweat trickled down the side of his head. "Sixteen?" he questioned, looking up and down the girl's form in what appeared to be great disbelief. "... Huh. This generation; I swear..."

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 06:42 AM

The young woman seemed to nod. She was also immediately given a present of sorts a Keychain which she'd never seen before. Still she wasn't necessarily the type to turn down a present. "Ah... thank you. It kinda looks like it came off a Keyblade, what's it do?" she asked seeming to be interested in the thing. She didn't bother commenting aloud about the difference between her true and perceived ages, this was far too common a problem for her. She instead simply ran her empty hand over her face and shook her head. 'Why does this always happen to me?' she questioned as if she didn't understand how such a thing always managed to occur. She was often mistaken for the wrong age by random males who expressed great interest in her, until they found out how young she was.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 06:57 AM

"If you put it on your Keyblade, it will change the Keyblade to a new form. Its abilities will change, and so will the shapes it can take. That'll be the first step to building your skills. Variety will be necessary as you get stronger and fight stronger opponents." Aced spoke these words as he withdrew his hand and shoved it back into his pocket. The Keychain he handed this girl was a more recently acquired one, which he thought a lass with a strong arm like this one may benefit from greatly. "It'll also do a couple of things you can really make use of. For example, a Raid skill like that will act sort of like a... boomerang. It's also been upgraded to have a fire finish. You'll see."

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 07:09 AM

The explanation of what this new device did, made the girl's eyes widen. "Really? That sounds cool." she said immediately aiming to test this proclamation by summoning her own Keyblade to her hand. She immediately looked it over and found that the Keychain could be removed rather easily which she did. Storing that one in her pocket and attaching the new one, all while a further explanation of the abilities of this newer version of her Keyblade were given. As soon as she attached this new chain, the Keyblade glowed, changing form and becoming a lighter pink and lilac sort of thing which confused her greatly but was also very amazing. "Wow! This is really cool." she said opening and closing her hand and giving it a few test swings while she adjusted to this new weight. "Hmm, and here I was a bit scared of the big buff guy I hit accidentally." she said she then went on to practice her circle raid once more and as she launched the Keyblade this time it seemed to do loops around her instead of just doing the singular circular motion. And with the decreased weight she had much more control over its orbit. "That's awesome~" she chimed seemingly excited about this entire thing. Right at the moment she was rather happy she'd agreed to join this man's union. He was actually quite a useful Master to have on her side.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 07:19 AM

"Trust me; it is," he said regarding the 'coolness' of Keychain switching. As for the rest of what Jolyne had to say, he could only chuckle. "Don't fear me. The only time I want the word fear to even come to your mind, is when you think of how the Heartless must feel when you're standing in front of them. Got me?" This man seemed to be quite invested in the strength of his Union. And, now that he was thinking about it, he had a task for the girl already. "Make good use of that, but don't forsake your true Keyblade for it. Now, I have a job for you. Because of our role, I need you to be able to take on leadership. So... you're in charge of finding your first teammate."

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 07:36 AM

"Understood!" the girl said about fearing the man. Even so, he was still quite an imposing figure and she could only imagine that other people thought so as well. It was also stated that while she should get a good use out of her Keychain she shouldn't forsake her own Keyblade as well. She figured such a thing herself but she respected the advice, so she'd nod as her Keyblade came back to her hand and she caught it, and banished it once more. Of course, after this, it was stated by the large man that she was in charge of finding her first teammate. She looked at him and frowned then rather suddenly a smirk came to her face. "Ah... delegating a task huh? Sure... I'll grab someone else." she said as she began walking towards the other end of town hoping to find a certain individual she'd come to know, she gave a bit of a wave to the older man. "Where am we meetin' ya', afterwards?" the girl asked, she seemed to already have someone in mind, but right now she was just trying to keep a straight face. This was a struggle, because she couldn't help but think in this moment, that she was being sent to find someone else, so the man wouldn't intimidate them with his approach.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 08:22 AM

"Good. Off you go," he said when Jolyne agreed to go on her recruiting mission. When asked where he could be met when she was done, he turned around to look toward the center of town, where the Master of Masters did her research and other such things. "The clock tower. I'll be outside of it." With that said, he walked off, leaving Jolyne to her work while he searched for other potential members of the Ursus Union.

Meanwhile, a boy of about Jolyne's age walked around the market area, stocking up on potions and the like for a bit of training he intended to do later. This lad had a punk style of dress, which went quite well with his spiked, dual-colored black and purple hairstyle. He carried an armful of potions to a stall, and upon being told the amount of Munny required by the clerk, his face quickly turned sour. "Ugh, really? For ten potions!? This is highway robbery! It's like you want me to die!"

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 08:28 AM

A giggle would escape the girl as she nodded and headed on about her way. "Alright see ya' there." she said, and then she began to wander about. As expected she ended up in the Market Place, here she began to search about until she found the punk dressed young man she was looking for, apparently trying to guilt the clerk into giving him better prices on his potions. She couldn't help but watch this situation and wonder how he'd managed to end up in such a situation. "Well, if you don't wanna go broke, you should probably find one of the Magic types and learn the Cure spell." she said to the young man while peeking around his shoulder at the apparent cache of potions he was planning to buy. "Or... you could team up with me, and I'll fix you up if you take too many hits~" she offered this young man for no particular reason at all, without even bothering for a proper greeting of any sort.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 09:19 AM

"C'mon man, just gimme a break! When I become a super famous Keyblade-wielding rock star, I'll even advertise your stand. Heck, I'll get you a whole shop!" the boy pleaded with the clerk. It was then that a girl he was quite familiar with leaned over his shoulder to speak on the matter of his shopping. "Ugh! I suck at Magic, Jo. You know that. I've got like... one spell," he said to the young woman. Afterwards, he left his payment at the stand, having grown tired of haggling with the clerk. "Here. Have that, but know I'm not happy!"

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 09:26 AM

Jolyne, apparently close enough to this young man that she accepted the nickname of Jo, grinned as he continued in his frugal attempts to wager some sort of discount. Still she'd wait on his purchase, knowing deep down inside that he was going to make it regardless. "Yes, I know you suck at Magic, I can't really talk, since I have all of two spells in my own repertoire... But, diversity is the name of the game." she mentioned seemingly amused by this whole situation. But she hadn't forgotten one major part of this conversation seemingly left out by this young man. "So, nothing to say about joining up with me then? I see how it is... Yu." she said a bit of a pout coming to her face. It was a bit overly dramatic, but it was all leading into something so she supposed she could afford to play it up a bit.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 09:37 AM

"That's cool and all, but I can't get it right. I've tried a bunch, but I'm just no good," he stated. True enough, this boy had put countless hours into trying to get a proper grasp on abilities of the magical persuasion, but to no avail aside from a single spell which happened to fit his general affinity anyway. He still hadn't given up, but at this point, he was in no rush to become a spellcaster either. When the girl pouted and spoke again, he tipped his head to the right, squinting his eyes and twisting his top lip in an expression that resembled some mix of disgust and confusion. "Huh? We're already partners, so what the heck are you talkin' about?"

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 09:49 AM

"Well, we can't all be good at everything~" she said commiserating. After all, she'd been trying really hard to learn her own new abilities as well, Circle Raid in particular was one that had escaped her grasp until very recently. Moving right along, her pout was noticed and met with a quite a mix of confusion and disgust. The face made by the young man called Yu made her burst into an uncontrollable fit of giggles. "Hehehehe~" she managed covering her mouth and holding her sides before she finally managed to pull herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't resist. Anyways... I don't know if you've heard yet, but apparently the Master's direct apprentices are considered Masters themselves now. They are apparently forming these things called Unions to fight the Darkness. I almost battered one of them with my Keyblade working on Circle Raid a bit ago. Anyway, he wasn't mad, and asked me to join up with him... and he's pretty cool." she said with a smile. "Ridiculously huge though... like super buff." she mentioned absently. "Anyways, I joined his Union... and wanted to know if you wanted to come too~" she chimed.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 10:01 AM

With his potions purchased, he loaded them into a pouch at his side. Now he had all he needed for a very extensive training session, provided he didn't accidentally crush all of the vials and apply all of them at once... again. Apparently, Jolyne had been visited by one of the Masters during her own training recently, and had joined something called a Union as a result. He had never heard of such a thing, but he supposed it was a pretty decent idea. "Really big guy, huh? I think I've seen him around. He's like... really old for an apprentice though," he said regarding the man known as Aced. "Whatever. It sounds cool and all, but what's in it for me? I don't think I'll do too great with my progress if I've got somebody pushing me to get better the way a boss would. I gotta know I won't just be better off with my own training."

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 10:09 AM

"I also thought that when I saw him. But he's like surprisingly nice." she said of the man known as Aced. Moving right along the boy seemed to have the gears turning in his head again. She figured he'd need at least a bit of convincing. And given his own disposition she had also already figured out exactly how to do so. "Well, the way he made it sound, eventually we might not be bossed around by anyone. We might be the bosses. Not that I care much about that myself, he also gave me a gift when I joined his Union and it was really cool." she said. She'd let that sink in a bit while she explained where such a thing likely came from. "I think the Masters that do this are passing out presents to people to make them stronger, skills and whatever, but... this one had something tangible." she said and after she was done she held out her hand to summon her Keyblade in its present changed form. It would look entirely different from the last time the young man had seen it. She then pointed to the charm at the end. "I didn't know it, but apparently these come off and you can attach other ones at the end and gain new abilities. He gave me this one... so I'm pretty sure... this is what's in it for joining. Apparently makes my raid skills way better. Like... I can control them now and they hit a lot more. I imagine stuff like this is pretty common for him... so who knows what else he's got to give out." she said seemingly excited about the whole thing she'd been holding in far too long. To help prove her point she also removed the original Keychain of her Keyblade from her pocket and held it up, if such a thing had impressed her, she was quite sure she could impress her friend this way. She definitely wanted this boy to share in her excitement.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 10:37 AM

"UGH!" the boy exclaimed. "Being the boss is even worse! You've seen how much I suck; I can't get away with telling anybody what to do. I had a couple of Shadows almost tear me a new one just yesterday!" The more Jolyne spoke, the less motivated this boy seemed to become when it came to joining any Union... especially one like what Ursus sounded like. Of course, his demeanor changed when Jolyne spoke of some tangible gift to those who joined. A quirk of a brow occurred on the lad's visage, which evolved to both raising as his eyes widened, both happening when Jolyne showcased the new form of her Keyblade. "... Whoa!" he said while leaning forward to closer inspect the weapon. "And that's not, like, just another upgrade or something?" he asked, only to receive confirmation of the difference when Jolyne revealed her original Keychain. "That's awesome! Hey, I'll join up just to stop my Keyblade from looking so boring. I mean, if I don't like it, I can always just quit and keep the perks, right?"

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 10:49 AM

"See that's your problem right there~" said the girl of the boy's attitude. He was worried about potentially having to tell people what to do, mostly it was just a lack of confidence. "You don't suck... you just act like you do, so you fail a little. If, ya' had a bit more confidence, I'm sure you'd do just fine." she said of the boy's skills. "Besides, there is nothing to worry about, I'll tell people what to do, totally not a bit deal, and you can just be my backup muscle. No fuss~" she said offering a grin.

It seemed that her plan to get him interested with the altered form of her Keyblade was indeed enough. "I actually like your Keyblade though..." she said pouting. This statement was rather true, she found it to be simple looking but rather effective. In the same way she thought her own a bit to gaudy for her own purposes. To the point of him up and leaving if he decided he didn't like it she could only feign distress. "Really, you'd just up and leave me hanging? With big buff dude? That makes me sad, Yu. I thought we were partners?" she mentioned but now that she had his attention she banished her Keyblade once more and continued chatting him up. "Well, if I got ya' on board I'm supposed to take you back to the Master Aced so you can meet him." she said waving him towards her as she began walking towards the Clock Tower which was apparently where they were going.

Bloodedge

02-08-2017, 11:23 AM

"Leave you hanging?" he asked in rhetoric. "If I can't get down with the Union, you probably shouldn't either. So, we'll both quit and make out with the free benefits." With his hands in his pockets, the boy trailed behind Jolyne to go meet with the Master of the Ursus Union. "Alright, first meeting with a guy whose team I already joined. This is exactly what I expected my day to be like!"

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 11:32 AM

"Oh, so we're just assuming, I'm gonna jump ship when you do now? My word, we've taken this confidence thing straight to the head haven't we?" the girl said teasing as she walked towards the clock tower. She couldn't really argue that if he found this Union to be unbearable she likely would as well. They'd reach it soon enough but while they walked she chatted to keep there from being too much silence. "Well, if you plan your day out, you'll just be bored. I'm fine with a bit of excitement in my life. I sorta, didn't expect to slam some random guy while practicing Circle Raid~" she said. Thinking about how life worked was very strange, but at the very least, they'd have stuff to do to keep them busy while they honed their skills. "But... it lead to interesting things, like Unions, presents, an excuse to see if you were buying potions again~ The world is a strange place." the girl said a smile breaking across her face as she stretched her arms and continued on. When they finally arrived at the clock tower she waited and looked about, hoping to catch a glimpse of Master Aced.

"That ain't confidence. That's just plain ol' friendship," he replied. With that, there was nothing more to be said by the boy with dual-colored hair. Soon enough, they were upon the clock tower that was their destination, and the Master who wore the mask of the bear stood there, waiting. "That was quick," he said to greet the two. "This must be a friend of yours then." When this was said, the boy approached the man he would now know as Master. Bowing, he introduced himself. "Hello, Master Aced. My name is Yuto." Having received this greeting, Aced stepped forward and signaled the boy to rise from his bow. For this boy, he produced a Keychain as well. This one carried a token that was a silver blade surrounded by two black curved spikes which wrapped around its base. "Welcome to Ursus, Yuto. I'm sure you'll both do well. We'll start on our mission to collect the Light tomorrow," he said. Yuto nodded, claiming the Keychain offered to him with a grin. "Thank you, Master." And with that, the masked man walked away with a wave to his two new comrades.

A grin crossed the girl's face as Yuto explained that it was their friendship which let him know how she would behave. And upon reaching the Master Aced, the boy bowed and introduced himself. "Of course, did ya' think I would go find a complete stranger?" the girl said of her choice in secondary member. She was friendly enough but there was a line to be drawn when putting ones good name on the line. After this the boy was given his Keychain and told that they'd be starting the next day on their official duties. This made Jolyne nod, "Alright then, see ya' later." she said seeing the man gone she soon turned to her still grinning friend. "Come on Yu, lemme see the new look!~" she said seemingly as excited about this as she had been about her own Keyblade change.

02-08-2017, 01:00 PM

When the Master was out of sight, Yuto heaved a mighty sigh. He wasn't much one for such formality, but he felt it necessary at the time. Either way, he was quite glad that was over. Moving along, it appeared to be the case that Jolyne was just as excited to see his new Keyblade as he was to try it out. So, he summoned his existing weapon, which bore a very basic design other than its star-shaped teeth and trinket. Holding it up, he came to realize the Keyblade was removable. "Wow. So... I only just noticed this thing clips on and off. Am I stupid?" he asked while removing the Keychain and applying the new one to his weapon. A flash of light produced a blade with semi-circular indentations on its sides, and teeth made of two triangular blades which overlapped each other and slanted downward, featuring slanted, heart-shaped gaps in each. Its guard also changed, becoming black while still curving around the handle normally, yet it did not connect to the handle at its base. "... Whoa. This Keyblade. Is the best Keyblade. Ever!" he exclaimed as he gave it a few test swings, finding it many times easier to maneuver than his standard Keyblade.

The boy seemed to deflate from the lack of formality when the Master Aced went away. Upon freeing themselves from the Master's presence, he immediately summoned his Keyblade and held it out in front of himself. The question of whether or not he was stupid for not noticing the Keychain was detachable she simply waved him off. "I'd say yes, but I definitely didn't know about it... until I went to take it off earlier. Don't take it too hard." she mentioned with her hands on her hips. Of course, she soon saw this new Keyblade and she could quite appreciate its design by comparison. Even so she felt the need to pass along the Master Aced's previous warning to her. "It's really cool!~ I'll give ya' that. But according to Master Aced, you shouldn't forsake your original for it... it's good for variety but you shouldn't abandon what's you for it." she mentioned with a nod. "It really is nice... I wonder what yours does..." she said curiously.

02-08-2017, 09:55 PM

"So we're both stupid? Works for me!" he replied. Since he wasn't the only one to not notice the detachable Keychain, he felt better about this moment of sudden realization. Yuto was advised against using this Keyblade wholly in favor of his original, which was honestly exactly what he planned to do the moment he got it. Sighing, he accepted this warning. "Fine, fine. I guess my own Keyblade is still pretty useful anyway. It just doesn't fit my look, y'know?" As for what his new Keyblade did, he had also been wondering. "I dunno. It's a lot easier to move; that much was obvious when I first touched it. Hey, maybe I'll get lucky and this one will let me abuse some Magic!" In accordance with his thought/hope, Yuto channeled his Magic Power into the weapon while flipping it into a reverse grip. It was a stroke of luck that he moved it in such a way, as there was suddenly a blade of wind enveloping the weapon, extending its reach until a hole was stabbed into the base of the clock tower to his right, where it would have otherwise been pointed in Jolyne's direction. Still, this occurrence made his eyes widen, as he immediately feared the idea of the Master of Masters' wrath at her tower receiving this blemish. "Ohhh bad day, bad day, bad day!" he shouted as he banished the Keyblade and began running away from the clock tower.

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 11:13 PM

"I didn't say that. You did." she mentioned with a bit of a chuckle. To be fair she didn't think most people would have noticed the Keychain on their Keyblades were detachable nor did she think anyone would just try such a thing. She figured most people wouldn't have bothered even if they did notice because they wouldn't want to risk breaking the magical weapon. Beyond that it also seemed that this boy took her warning, even though given their extended friendship she'd more than expected him to do the exact thing she'd told him not to, and thus the warning. Moving right along, it seemed that the young man was willing to try some magic and accomplished something which was a magnificent but also dangerous feat, putting a hole in the base of the clock tower. His reaction to this was to banish his Keyblade and run away. Luckily enough Jolyne was right on his heels. "Oi, wait up... don't leave me here alone~" she mentioned as she chased after the young man disappearing from in front of the clock tower and into the streets of Daybreak Town.

Little did that pair know, their entire exchange was being watched from above by a girl named Kairos. She sat on the edge of the clock tower eating an ice cream chuckling at the antics below. "Ah, it seems like the other Unions are coming together nicely." she commented before taking a bite. "And lookit, that one is kinda strong." she finished up seeming to be amused by the entire thing. After a moment the girl's attention shifted to another Keyblade Wielder down in the square on the other side who was putting on a very different kind of show.

A blonde dressed oddly in a grey coat with the suits of playing cards as buttons and a black mini skirt with a single stripe and ruffles underneath was putting on a show. She was using Keyblade Magic to create a number of balloons and popping them, drawing attention to herself while she panhandled for a bit of Munny right under the Clock Tower's west face. Such a thing was rather interesting to watch as the balloons created by her magic would appear fly about and pop causing small shock wave like explosions but were completely controlled and never harming any person. "Enjoy the show and donate to the fund~" the girl mentioned seemingly amused as her red eyes made contact with many individuals in the crowd. This girl, was doing a fair job of attracting attention as passersby dropped her a bit of cash and stayed to watch her show. What she couldn't know was that in this crowd was a small girl with a fox mask and pink and tan robes. She was watching mystified by the young girl's control, though she wasn't powerful this was exactly the kind of potential the young woman was looking for to build her union.

02-08-2017, 11:25 PM

It seemed Kairos was not the only one observing from the roof of the clock tower. "Which one's strong?" spoke a male voice from a black-cloaked figure standing overhead from the rear. There was no telling how long this man, Luxu, had been standing behind the raven-haired girl, but he had at least been around long enough to hear her speak. This took another male by surprise. To Kairos' left, the purple and pink-haired lad named Yuri sat with his own ice cream bar. In fact, he nearly choked on his dessert when the older male spoke. "Uhh... creepy much? Did Master Invi recruit you or something? 'Cause he should have."

Apollymi

02-08-2017, 11:41 PM

"Well, the girl seems to be physically very strong, she and the boy are about the same strength now, but both have interesting potential. Right then though... I was speaking about the boy." she said answering the voice... which had come apparently from nowhere, with nothing but a small shiver which could have been attributed to a sudden chill caused by overt ice cream consumption. Master Invi had already left them so it was obvious it wasn't him she was speaking to. She also recognized the voice, as one she'd come in contact with earlier this day. "Did you get a new name too?" she asked of him seeming to move along to him being there without being extremely freaked out by his random appearance. She couldn't help but laugh at the young man beside her who seemed to find this other young man creepy. "I don't really think we get to talk about other people being creepy Yuri... or don't you see what we are doing right now?" Kairos mentioned taking another bite of ice cream. "Want one?" she offered holding one up for the young man, which was essentially another extra, she hadn't known he was coming but she didn't mind sharing. "And no, Master Invi didn't recruit him, he's one of his peers. But lookit, another Union is forming below."

And just as the girl said, the pink haired fox masked girl walked up to the front of the show just as the jester girl bowed removing her hat and showing blonde hair and green charms randomly about her person. "That was a really cool show you put on there. You've got a lot of magical control~" the pink haired girl mentioned excited from behind her mask. "Want to join my Union and help me fight the darkness." she said directly stunning the girl who'd only expected the first part and a tip not... such a random question. "Union?" she said seemingly confused. "Yeah, the Master made us all Masters, My name is Ava and I'm responsible for the Vulpes Union. I need people with potential with me... and your Magic is so controlled you fit the bill as my first pick. Come on... it will be fun." she said. To the girl in the jester type of outfit the pink haired girl sounded like a child. Well more of a child than the girl was herself. Even so, if she was a Master, there was probably much she knew about things which would help the girl complete her shows and battle the heartless. "Uh... I don't know. I am not sure I should be anyone's first pick for anything. You sure you don't wanna... find someone better. I'm a pretty low level first pick." she said. She wasn't sure she could fight the darkness all alone even with a woman like this at her side.

"Ah... you meant physically," he said to voice his new understanding of what Kairos meant. When offered an ice cream, he shook his head to reject it while sharing his new name. "Luxu. And no, but thanks." The younger male of this trio seemed to calm down as this short period of time passed. As his breathing stabilized, he was informed of this hooded man's identity, and found it strange. "A maskless Master? That's weird. And, by the way, what we're doing is nowhere near as creepy as just sneaking up behind someone. I could have fallen off the tower!" the boy asserted. Luxu didn't seem to be fazed by this reaction. Instead, he was more focused on listening to the goings on below. "Ava? That's an interesting transition," he said with a laugh, knowing the vast difference between this and her original name. "That girl looks fun though. I wish I had a Union."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 12:12 AM

"Suit yourself." and just like that the girl finished off an ice cream and after checking the stick to find that she again didn't win a free one she burned it to ashes letting it blow away on the wind before she opened up the new one. "Luxu? All of you ended up with weird names. Like... really weird." Kairos managed before she started in on this next ice cream. Of course, this was one of her favorite things to do, and she also felt it was a bit odd to be creeped up on by someone else. "You just don't like being creeped up on Yuri, you like to be the creeper~ " she said offering a giggle to the first half of his statement. Beyond this she had just a little more to offer. "Oh yes, because I would have actually let you fall off the tower." she said semi-sarcastically. This boy was one of a very limited number of her friends, given this she wouldn't leave him to perish of his own accord. Moving right along, the Maskless Master seemed to be a point of interest, beyond his lack of animal affiliation he also wasn't getting a Union. "Aww, that's too bad. I almost didn't join with Master Invi assuming you'd have a Union too."

Below more was being said by Ava to convince her first pick to join her cause. "Oh come on, you're my first pick and I want you. No need to think about it too much. I plan to gather some more people... so you won't be alone. I just... think you're a lot more worthy than you give yourself credit for." she said to the girl. A bow would ensue from the girl in the jester hat and ensamble. "My name is Yori... and I am at your service then Master Ava." she said. She didn't know much about these other Unions, but she doubted anyone else would put forth such a great effort to recruit a relative nobody on their first go around. Moving right along the girl in the pink robes giggled and shook her head. "No need for all that... I'm pretty sure you're older than me. Come on... if you're done here, you can help me look for other people~" she mentioned to which the girl just nodded. "Sure thing." and she put her hat back on and began to wander around with the Master, only after gathering up the munny she'd been donated into a sack which she fastened to her side.

"You wanted to join me? That's interesting. Maybe you'll still get the chance," Luxu stated. He had seen a few people this day, all of whom were Union members that were recently recruited by his friends. A few of them were on his list of potentials, including Kairos herself. "I don't get a Union, but I do get a direct apprentice. Maybe you'll make the cut."

In the meantime, there was a teal-haired young man relaxing at the waterfront park. He stood on a star-shaped fixture within a pool overlooked by the lighthouse. It was a wonderful day for simply sitting back and enjoying the scenery of the world, so he had been doing exactly that for what felt like the past few hours. The light breeze caused his twin ponytails to billow, tickling the face of a Moogle that decided to float behind him. Turning around, he chuckled at the small creature while gently bopping it on the nose with his forefinger. "Easy, Kupo. You don't want to get that in your nose. It's still wet."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 01:14 AM

"Oh?" the girl questioned the opportunity to join this faceless young man in some way. As she ate her next ice cream she heard out the young man's next explanation. That apparently he didn't get to have a Union, but instead would take a direct apprentice at some point. Such a statement made it seem like the young man already thought about the fact that she'd be up for such a thing. "Well, I suppose you'll keep me posted on that. Let me know if I make the cut~" she said with a smile. Even so, she'd now finished her last ice cream and the people they were watching were wandering off. "Aww, they are going now... " she said watching with a pout. "Perhaps... I should also get going now... I never did have that chat with Master Invi, he's got something to show me." she said, seemingly excited about learning her new skills. Moving right along... the girl looked back. "Catch ya' later... Luxu~" and just like that the girl pushed off her perch and headed for the ground off to do other things.

Meanwhile, the girl known as Yori and Master Ava made their way to a water front park. They were looking for other potential recruits to Master Ava's Union the Vulpes and in so doing saw a boy seemingly being rather friendly with a Moogle. Master Ava seemed to become immediately distracted. "Awww, it's so cute!! I want one!~" she said approaching the young lad and his Moogle friend. "Master Ava... that was a very strange change of pace." said Yori as she refocused her attention. "Oh..." the girl said seeing the young man's face.

02-09-2017, 01:30 AM

"Apprentice, huh? Am I on that list too?" Yuri asked, to which Luxu shook his head. "Sorry, but no. There's a certain quality I'm looking for, and you don't seem to have it. I'll let you know otherwise," he replied. Yuri sighed in this moment, accepting that he was likely not going to be receiving anything extra after all. Still, to be the apprentice of a Master was a great privilege, and the idea that a close friend was in the running was good enough for him. Moving along, it seemed Kairos had business to attend to, and Yuri was sure to vacate along with her. "Trust me; you'll know. Ciao."

At the park, the teal-haired male had his attention drawn away from the Moogle at his side, firstly by a girl in a fox mask. 'Hm? That's one of the Masters,' he thought. For whatever reason, this Master was accompanied by another individual; a blonde girl whom he had seen performing on the streets in passing. This one, as opposed to the Master's excitement over the Moogle, muttered a simple 'oh' when seeing him. "Hm?"

02-09-2017, 02:21 AM

In the park with the Master Ava now eyeing the Moogle, the girl known as Yori was now faced with a young man she didn't really know but thought to be more than a little bit attractive. Of course, she hadn't meant for such a thing to play across her face so easily, especially given that even the young man noticed this apparent reaction. Master Ava, ever the observant one stopped eyeing the Moogle and grinned. "So you two don't know each other then... but..." she leaned into the girl and began to whisper. "But you think he's cute don't ya'?" she asked which made the girl's face flush with embarrassment. "Master Ava?!" she questioned seemingly stunned that the girl would go so far. "I'll invite him to join the Union then you two can get to know each other~" she said with a knowing smile. It was then that Yori seemed to break a bit and shook her head profusely back and forth from left to right. "Master, that is no reason to invite someone along." she said hoping the young woman would leave this alone, but Master Ava simply shook her head.

"Hey... I'm Master Ava. And as a Master I've been tasked with helping keep the balance in this world by the Master. I was wondering if you'd like to join my Union and help me out with that. I am looking for promising Keyblade Wielders and you appear to be exactly that... And joining isn't just like a job or anything. I can show you stuff, even teach you the special skill I made up. She isn't quite strong enough yet to learn it... but... you look like you might be." she said having left the other girl completely out of the situation much to her happiness. She spent a few more seconds pulling herself together before she turned around again. "Sorry, I thought I might have recognized you... I put on a show in the square so I see a lot of faces..." she mentioned. "I'm Yori by the way, and I've pledged myself to Master Ava's Union Vulpes, It would be awesome to have you along." the girl mentioned having finally recovered from her earlier blunder.

02-09-2017, 02:47 AM

The teal-haired male stood with an expression of curiosity as the pair of females had a brief discussion among themselves. He had no idea what they were going on about in their secrecy, but soon enough, the Master of the Vulpes Union brought her attention to him. She spoke of Unions, and her desire to have him join hers along with the girl at her side. "You want me to join your... Union, was it? How are these Unions meant to keep the balance, and what makes yours different to the others? Sorry... I don't want to sound disinterested; I'd just like to know a bit more. I hope you understand," he said to the masked girl. Then, there was more to be addressed. The girl who had such a strange first impression introduced herself as well, stating that she was already a member of this Vulpes Union. With both introductions out of the way, he greeted the pair officially with a smile and a short bow while holding a hand against his chest. "Yori. Master Ava. My name is Yunan. It's a pleasure to meet you both."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 02:54 AM

The Leader of the Vulpes Union was quite happy that someone had asked a question. The girl Yori was a lot more easy going than she'd expected and as such, she didn't require nearly as much work as the woman thought she should. Moving right along, it seemed Yunan as he introduced himself as being, wanted to know what made her Union different. "I suppose the difference between my Union and the others would be that we're tasked with finding other promising Keyblade Wielders regardless of their affliation for what comes after. My union would be other people good at finding the potential in others. Gathering and training them for later..." she said. "So for me, and those who will be with me... it will be mainly about making sure every promising Keyblade Wielder is ready when the time comes. It is assumable that everyone who runs a Union has a different task from the Master... if that is the case the our underlying motives are all different but protecting the light is the over all goal. Mine is simply to protect that light for the future. Though if we can help presently by helping with skills the like... I'm more than willing to do that too." she said seeming to have a reasonable enough understanding of how the world worked. As the young woman in the mask spoke Yori felt at ease. Something about this young Master's noble cause made her happier to be along for the ride.

02-09-2017, 03:24 AM

"Hmm..." Yunan uttered when given the description of the Vulpes Union. Part of this role sounded just a tidbit tedious, but Yunan was the type of person who saw the light in everything. "With that sort of job... it sounds like a lot of travelling. I would love to see some new places and faces." While this was true, Yunan had made his decision long before any questions were asked. So, he flashed a bright smile toward the Master and her first Union member. "Anyway, you asked me for help, and I can never say no to that. I'll join without a doubt! Like I said, I just wanted the info."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 03:48 AM

"That is a delightfully optimistic attitude." said Master Ava who was more than a little pleased to have the young man aboard. Actually, it was quite nice for a young man such as him to take interest in things like travelling and helping others. "Yay! Now I have two members. I am doing a pretty good bit of work today." she said with a smile. It seemed that the young Master Ava had previously been a bit worried about how she would carry out her task, she was quite relieved to have done so well with her first go around. "Master Ava, were you worried?" asked Yori who seemed to have found the younger girl's number rather easily. "Well... I am the youngest of my peers... I always figured I'd just end up paired with one of them, not doing something like this myself." she said seemingly a bit abashed. A smile came over the other girl's face, though she wasn't nearly as strong as the Master, she could at least help her out with this. "It's cool, you got the two of us now~" she said smiling at Yunan. "Welcome aboard~" she said to the young man seemingly pleased that he was with them.

02-09-2017, 04:00 AM

"Don't sell yourself short, Master Ava," Yunan interjected when the girl's doubts were brought into question. "You should think the exact opposite. If you're the youngest of your peers, then you're the youngest Master ever! That's something to brag about if I've ever heard it. I personally am honored to be a member of your Union in particular," he clarified with another bow. "And Yori is right. We're here to help."

02-09-2017, 04:40 AM

"I suppose I am the youngest master presently. But I have faith that some of you will catch up or even surpass us~" she said finding to be something amusing. She was a girl of only 15 and one of the apprentices of the Master of Masters. With this in mind she supposed she should have a bit more faith in her abilities. "I ah... thanks you guys. I am starting to think this will be more fun and less work than I initially thought." said the girl happily. Moving right along Yori also bowed and at the offer of herself and the other young man. "I suppose with the two of you, it should be fairly easy to get more people on board, but we can take care of that later. For now we'll celebrate and relax. No need to rush anything." said the girl who was rather easy going herself.

02-09-2017, 04:47 AM

"That remains to be seen. While the rest of us grow, there's every chance you Masters will keep growing as well," the young man replied. He had no idea how close to the strength of Masters he was himself, but he viewed them as something nigh insurmountable even without seeing the full extent of their abilities. It simply came with their status, and the way they tended to carry themselves. Either way, Master Ava seemed keen on relaxing and celebrating the formation of her Union, which the Moogle in Yunan's company seemed to be elated about. "Hey, relax buddy. You like that idea, kupo? I know a good spot for a picnic, if you all are interested."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 05:00 AM

"I suppose. Some of us are more prone to keep growing than others. I... can't seem to concentrate on most things... so I gotta find a skill to stick with. I guess I could grow a bit more once I do." she said of herself. As the youngest of her group she was the least specialized and thus the most well-rounded. It was said that this young man knew a good spot for a picnic which made the woman behind the fox mask smile. "Yay! Picnics~" she said. Yori on the other hand seemed to be very excited but a bit more composed "Sounds like fun... question though... why do you have a Moogle?" she asked, it was simply a curiosity. "Second question, can I pet it?" said Master Ava who was also interested in the Moogle but she'd temporarily forgotten that as she tried to convince this young man to help her out.

02-09-2017, 05:32 AM

And so, the picnic was unanimously agreed upon, prompting Yunan to consider what could be prepared for it. While he thought on this, he was asked two questions by the present lasses. Yori wished to know precisely why there was a Moogle in his company, while Master Ava wished only to pet it. "Cosmog here has been with me for as long as I can remember. He saved my life with a free Elixir when I first got a Keyblade, and I helped promote his shop over the other Mogs in town. And I'm sure you can, Master. He likes a good petting. Don't you, kupo?" he asked, to which the Moogle named Cosmog fluttered about joyously.

02-09-2017, 05:45 AM

"Cosmog, huh? Sounds like a good friend then, considered part of the group as well." said Yori after getting the explanation. "Nice to meet ya'. " she offered the small creature which she'd treat as a friend so long as it was in the company of their newest friend. While this explanation happened Master Ava took to petting the small creature giving it a thorough rub atop the head and on the belly. "It's so cute~ I can't believe there is one as a friend with one of my Union members~" she squealed seemingly happy about the entire situation. With all of that taken care of, they seemed to be well on their way with their afternoon picnic.

02-09-2017, 06:01 AM

"I'm glad you guys like him. He likes making new friends too," he said about the Moogle. Now that they were past this, and officially everyone had been acquainted with one another, Yunan snapped his fingers. It finally came to him what he needed for the picnic they would have. "That's it!" he exclaimed. "I've come up with a new recipe! I think you'll all love it! Let's go!" he said as he trailed off toward the marketplace.

02-09-2017, 06:14 AM

As the young women of the Vulpes Union began wandering towards the Marketplace with their male companion and his Moogle friend, there was a particular member of the Master's Apprentices, readying her small apartment for a visitor. As Gula prepared herself for a potential visit from one of her favorite companions, she found herself looking around her rather messy apartment and being rather stunned. 'I should... clean up a bit yeah?' she thought. There were books and pages strewn about everywhere, but that was kind of something she couldn't do anything about. Instead she went for the clothes, picking up pieces as she walked around and putting them all in the basket they were meant to be in. 'I should... do this the way I'm supposed to more often.' she thought after the clothes were away and she began gathering dirty dishes and placing them in the sink. All of this was happening now in a hurried rush because... she was having a visitor.

02-09-2017, 06:25 AM

As the sun began to set, the Master known as Luxu appeared via teleport to the residential area in which Gula's abode was located. He arrived at the doorstep instantly, somehow figuring that in spite of being able to rewind time, he had ended up being late. No matter; if this turned out to be the case, perhaps he could simply rewind and redo things. He would soon know whether this was the path to take or not. Without much more hesitation, he chose to simply knock on the door. One would note upon seeing the young man that, at this time, he chose to wear his typical baggy blue pants and red jacket, instead of the black coat he had been seen in otherwise.

Gula had managed to finish her cleaning and had settled into her normal outfit which was an assortment of light linen clothing and brown leather. Once she was dressed she looked at herself and wondered if this was okay. Regardless of that situation she was left to a couple of last minute pick ups of items and organization. While she rushed about inside she soon heard a knock at the door. "Oh? Uh... Just a minute." she rushed about finally feeling like she'd accomplished what she needed to and after about thirty seconds of last minute cleaning she opened her door and found herself to be a tiny bit out of breath. "I ah... hi Sion." she finally managed taking note that this young man was no longer covered from head to toe either. It was quite an interesting sight to see. "Come in." she mentioned stepping to the side to allow the boy into her apartment which was more or less like a large library. Every wall was a bookshelf filled with countless tomes many of which she'd written herself about various things concerning the world they lived in and the creatures to be found there. Battle skills, the things created and utilized by her peers and any other thing that caught her interest.

"Take your time!" replied the man who, in this state, would continue to acknowledge himself by his given name, Sion. Soon, the door opened, permitting the young man to gaze upon his host for the evening. Luckily enough, he had avoided the first mistake of donning his Master attire only to find Gula, or rather, Temperance in her casual ensemble. With that in mind, though, he decided to also avoid the probable mistake of addressing the apparent state of undress she chose to go for. Of course, this didn't bring halt to a glance as he entered the building. "Good evening, Temperance. I appreciate that you didn't make me feel awkward by being in robes and a mask."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 07:33 AM

The young man seemed to have taken to her casual state of dress. Of course, she never saw anything wrong with the way she dressed such was quite a normal state of attire for her. Soon enough she was speaking up about her state of dress anyways. "Well, it isn't like I sit around my house in a mask and robes... I am fairly certain the only person who'd do something like that would be the Master... and maybe Hiro, he's a bit weird." she mentioned after the boy stepped inside she'd close the door behind him and begin moving about her study. "Make yourself at home, and feel free to grab whatever tomes you need. I don't know what you're researching yet, but if you let me know I can help~" the young woman chimed.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 07:47 AM

"The Master definitely does, and Hiro probably would, now that you mention it," he said. "It's good that you don't, though. I mean... wait," he stammered, thinking for a moment about rewinding things to repair his misplaced statement, but deciding against it in the event that Temperance would adjust to the sensation of time alteration. Continuing onward, he chose to address the young woman's clothing for the sake of his own curiosity. "So am I actually early, or...? I mean, not to sound full of myself, but isn't that a bit... light?" he asked. Even while carrying on with this strange topic, he began looking around the room to search the female Master's book collection. "Honestly, I only made the assumption that you'd have what I need. I maybe should have asked Hiro, but... well... do you have anything about Drive Forms?"

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 08:07 AM

"Oh?" the girl said seemingly amused as Sion seemed to stumble over his words a bit when deciding how to go about complimenting the young woman on her choice in clothing. Even so, she had no problem with this and simply shrugged it off. "Why thank you~" she mentioned moving right along. She began to look for more of her own books, but as she did this, it seemed that he took interest in her present state of undress. "Oh, well there is normally a skirt... but... it gets in the way of the tail and ink ends up everywhere. It's a pain... so I don't bother when I am at home... and I figured I'd be doing a bit of writing today anyways." she mentioned. One would notice that attached to the leather at her waist was a large magical looking pen which seemed like a large gem. Moving right along there was the question of what she about drive forms she looked around the room and smiled. "Third shelf, far wall... half way in... there should be a couple of tomes there about that."

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 08:23 AM

"So you're just comfortable foregoing the skirt, even though... wait... tail?" he questioned as he continued scanning the books. When he next looked toward Temperance, he took note of the tail attached to her person. At its tip, was something he very much recognized, as it was a creation of his own muse for the woman's sake. "That's what you wanted that for? I thought you'd use it as a pen. Well... a normal one, anyway." With that said, and with directions given, Sion moved toward the designated shelf to find three tomes. A quick scan informed him that one detailed Drive Forms, while another was focused on Valor Form, and the final one focusing Wisdom Form. Sion picked up all three books, but held the most interest in the former. "Oh, you've got three! And in detail! You wrote these yourself?"

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 08:38 AM

She knew that this was probably odd to the young man with her, but comfort and lack of ink contamination were the best thing for their present situation. "I wanted to be able to write three things at once. So... I use it as a pen with its own control mechanisms... it took a bit of practice to get it down to writing my thoughts while my hands were occupied but... I can do it now as easily as I do everything else. It just requires a bit of focus." she mentioned. Soon enough she'd move to sitting at her desk, specifically she's sitting on her desk and writing with her tail while keeping a couple of the books levitated with static electricity. "Ah, yeah... I wrote all of them. I probed Hiro for all the information." she said about the drive forms. "Actually, for everyone who created some new kind of combat form. It's needed for posterity. I have several for you as well... a couple shelves up detail magic and magical items~" she said seeming to be a cross between a little bashful and prideful. "So, what are you looking into drive forms for?" she asked as she began her writing seemingly excited.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 08:49 AM

"That's... actually a very admirable skill. Kudos." As Temperance took a seat at her desk, Sion trailed behind her. He looked up momentarily in this moment to find the woman's ensemble quite... different from the rear. "Uh..." he muttered, though he couldn't bring himself to form any actual words to address the matter. Instead, he continued toward the desk and took to Temperance's side with his book of choice open at its edge. "I think there's more to Drive Forms than even Hiro realizes. Think about it. Focusing power, focusing Magic... why can't we force both to their maximum potential?"

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 09:01 AM

"Thank you~ I quite enjoy that I can write three tomes simultaneously." mentioned the girl. It seemed like the young man with her was stunned into silence, or perhaps he was simply thinking. He recovered quickly enough to be able to say what he thought of Drive forms and had the hypothesis that they could be maximized in some way. "Well, given what I know about Drive forms, there is no real reason you shouldn't be able to do both. I doubt Hiro would have thought of such a possibility, but I could see them working. I would be quite pleased to document such a thing." she said of the expansion of the Drive forms. She was always fascinated by new things, and the sort of expansion that Sion was talking about would be massive.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 09:29 AM

"It does sound pretty useful," Sion said when he finally recovered from what he'd so recently witnessed. Once he had the book in front of him, and his eyes scanning its pages, he became able to properly focus. With this focus, he sought to achieve absolute knowledge of how Drive Forms worked. "Hiro at least achieved the purpose he was going for. But... why stop there? You and I aren't the kind of people who'll settle for the original purpose. That's one of the reasons I came to you."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 09:43 AM

"It's amazingly useful~ And I thank you for the device... not remembering if I did or not before but it works amazingly well." the woman mentioned. The tail apparatus was busying itself writing a tome based on some notes the girl had taken concerning the use and manifestation of Keychains, which before the task of her Union was the one of the final bits of research she'd done. As Sion seemed to fall into his research he seemed to think that Hiro the originator of the Drive Form techniques had settled for a bit less than he could have pushed for. "Well, there is no reason to stop when you can push a little further. So is that your plan, to make a form which pushes both magic and physical ability to the highest possible limit for the person using it?" she asked, seeming to come to that conclusion all on her own.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 10:17 AM

"I think you did. Not that you actually had to," he replied with utmost nonchalance. A few pages later, he was quite sure he was on the right track to a true discovery. Temperance was directly on board with his idea, which brought a grin to the young man's face. "That's exactly the plan. Utmost mastery of everything... so... Master Form. I think that with enough strength in one's heart, they may be able to trigger both transformations at the same time, in a way that would blend them together. Maybe I should just try it. I might collapse, though."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 10:34 AM

"Yeah, well... that might be true, but just because I don't have to, doesn't mean I won't." the young woman mentioned of offering her thanks for the favors provided by the young man before her. It seemed that he thought through the idea of simultaneously triggering two drive forms in order to create a new one which encompassed the best aspects of both the previous forms. "Hmm, sounds like it is definitely possible." the girl mentioned, thinking about the amount of strain drive forms generally caused she could definitely see the potential of one passing out from trying to trigger both of them. "Well, if you try it now... I'm here to make sure that you don't just pass out and get left behind or fall off a building or anything like that." she said of the potential materialization of the new form. "Oh, and I'll take notes... it will be fun~" she mentioned. She always liked the experimental phase of these new endeavors, probably more than she liked the skills gained from them.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 11:19 AM

"Yeah, sure. You'll just leave me here to slip into a coma. That'll be the really fun part. Make sure my body's taken care of while I'm out, yeah?" With that said, Sion stepped away from the desk, and toward the center of the room. With a deep breath, he began his effort to trigger both Valor and Wisdom Form simultaneously. He felt as if the fusion of the two was beginning to work out as his power rose. Extending his left arm and opening his hand, he formed an orb within it. This orb was yellow in color, featured a saltire, and had two other saltires floating around it. Sion squeezed this orb, causing the external saltires to withdraw into it as he pushed the orb into his heart. This spread the pattern along his clothes, and gave his clothes a color pattern that was primarily yellow, with black as a secondary. "Here we go!" he said as his power reached an all time high. His Keyblades were summoned during this time, though the blue weapon in his left hand seemed to be telekinetically controlled. His Master Seeker Keyblade, on the other hand, appeared in a reverse grip in his right hand. "Huu~" he huffed. This transformation seemed to take a bit of a toll on his respiratory system, but other than that, he was mostly alright. "This is... very different. I think I'll need a nap when I turn this off."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 11:38 AM

While she watched this young man triggered both forms after a while of trying. His rather cheeky commentary about what would happen if the young woman were to watch his attempts at a new transformation. "Of course, I won't let anything happen to your body. And I definitely won't allow you to fall into a coma." she said seemingly amused. But after a few moments of work it seemed his experiment succeeded in a most unexpected way. "Hmm, Master Form is yellow in color and seems to combine new telekinetic Keyblade capabilities with the dual wielding of the Valor Form. Interesting." she said as she took notes with her right hand while furiously turning the pages of another book with her left all while her tail continued to write notes as well. "Hmm, obviously a bit tiring compared to the other forms, but presumably more powerful, yeah?" she made a couple of assumptions while she continued to take notes. "So... it's different, anything in particular you'd like to note about that?" the girl said seemingly much more excited about this than she had been about anything all day.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 11:47 AM

It took a few moments, but Sion was soon breathing almost normally again. When his breathing properly regulated, he performed a few small hops with one foot, then with the other. "It's definitely stronger," he said as he adjusted to this transformation. Temperance had helped him gain the in-depth knowledge he needed to gather the theory of 'Master Form' as it were, so he would gladly talk and talk until she had the information she wanted about the form itself. "It literally feels like both forms at once... like my Magic and melee are equals. I feel strong enough to arm wrestle Akira, fast enough to race you... and very, very lightweight. I really don't feel like I belong on the ground right now. Another note, I don't think yellow is my color."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 11:55 AM

"I think I'd pay to see anyone arm wrestle Akira." she said with a giggle. Of course, she'd recently run into the Master now known as Aced and he was just as unreasonably buff as he had been during their training. Even so, the description of the boosted physical prowess of this young man was beyond what she could have anticipated. "Hmm, light-weight enough to feel like you don't belong on the ground. It's almost completely possible that a form like that would be used for aerial combat instead of ground combat. That might be worth looking into." she noted as she continued writing about the form change this boy had so recently made. It seemed that he had been able to compensate with it, finding his breathing pattern something near normal again. To the mention that he didn't think yellow was his color the girl scoffed. "I wouldn't say that, it's pretty cute on you." she said her eyes having come up to study his form while her hands busied themselves. writing about the different in clothing style the same way she did with all other forms.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 12:20 PM

"At this point, I might actually recommend putting your money on me. Really, I feel amazing right now," he said. He truly felt as if the ground was not his ally at this time; as if he should be with the birds in the sky. "I'll have to try that out. I'm not feeling any drawbacks from either of the original forms, but mobility doesn't seem to be as great as Wisdom Form's... but it should be." As for yellow befitting him, he could only chuckle and shake his head. "If you say so. It'd probably be better on you, though. You should try it out; it's a pretty good feeling to have."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 12:30 PM

"Well, I wouldn't bet against you..." she said even before knowing that the young man before her felt rather on top of the world. When he went on to explain that the mobility didn't feel as proper as it should she could only take a guess as to why that would be the case. "That seems to be more evidence towards the idea of aerial combat." she said of his lack of mobility. Writing down the last of the information she finally hopped off her desk heading towards the back of her house, when she came back, the frilly skirt which belonged with her outfit was firmly in place on her person and she was headed for the back door of her place to go out into the yard to try out this new form and give Sion some more space with which to test it out. "Come on then, you can test your mobility and explain to me how this was done~ I may as well have a go and see if it's something attainable by anyone with the knowledge of how to do it." she mentioned. Again, though she wasn't terribly interested in using the forms, having them was always something which made her happy.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 07:33 PM

"I agree. It's worth finding out, at least." Sion awaited the return of the young woman when she ran off to retrieve whatever it was she had in mind, and during this time, he got a proper feel for the Keyblade he held via telekinesis. Temperance returned wearing the skirt she had previously mentioned, and urged him outside with her to properly dissect the transformation. "No more writing then? Shame," he said as he stepped toward the building's rear exit.

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 07:46 PM

"Of course it's worth finding out. Hands on research is the best." Temperance mentioned. As she moved along she also headed out the door, catching only the comment that she wouldn't be writing anymore a smirk came to her face. "Of course, there will be more writing... I still have record how I feel about it, if I actually manage to achieve it." she mentioned now outside she stood in the open area of her yard and waited for proper instructions on how to activate both forms simultaneously. "So, how exactly did you achieve this?" she asked of the Master Form.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 07:55 PM

Once he was outside, Sion began hopping about, finding it to be an incredibly easy task to perform numerous flipping maneuvers in midair. As he did this, Temperance requested the secret of the form's unlocking. "It was surprisingly easy once I had the theory ready. I searched my heart for the Valor and Wisdom orbs, then I just forced them together. It felt like it was meant to happen, like two halves of something coming together. I thought it would be like oil and water, but it was more like bread and butter. All I needed to do was put the Master orb back into my heart."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 08:15 PM

Temperance watched as the young man began flipping about and testing out the limits of his new maneuverability outside. Upon doing this she found that she'd confirmed her idea about this form would be related to aerial combat. The explanation of how it worked and how it felt working made the girl look at the young man curiously. "I see... that is... different." she said. "Forcing the two orbs together. To make them work." she said aloud before going quiet for a few seconds. In this moment the young woman began searching her heart for the other forms of the orbs she already possessed and after a few seconds she found them. It was very strange trying to do this, but after a second she was able to force them together producing from her chest, a yellow orb with a different sort of symbol on it. Her try at this endeavor had taken a bit longer than Sion's had, but it also wasn't her idea, so that was to be expected. "Oh... this is different." she mentioned a book floating up to her hand via static electricity while she held the orb in her right hand and examined and took notes about it with her left hand. After she had everything she needed for posterity she forced the new orb back into her heart triggering a drive form which changed her clothing to a yellow pattern. It put one Keyblade in each hand, her original being controlled telekinetically and her new one with the leopard lightning theme in her hand firmly held. "Oh... this is... nice~" she chimed though it seemed to take a bit more work for her to pull herself together enough to breathe properly.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 08:22 PM

Sion ceased his hopping when it became apparent that Temperance was creating the new Drive Form within herself. He watched intently, having a grin cross his face when the yellow orb left her body. "That's the ticket!" he said. The young woman went on to jot down a few notes regarding the transformation, but immediately after finishing, she returned the orb to her heart and achieved Master Form from doing so. "Relax. I think the first one's going to suck every time. After a minute, you should feel better than ever."

Apollymi

02-09-2017, 08:34 PM

As the girl adjusted to the new form she could see how it could be easily rather annoying to have to deal with a transformation the first time. "Yeah, it seems to be the case that the first use of such a form is always a bit more taxing than it should be. Even so... I think I've adjusted now." the girl said having found her normal breathing pattern. Even so, as she began to move about she was immediately stunned by how easy movements were taking place and beyond that how much she was capable of doing in this few seconds a few flips turned and the movements of her arms seemed to do a pretty good, and when she jumped she grinned. "Oh? This is definitely for aerial combat." she said with a smile.

Bloodedge

02-09-2017, 08:40 PM

"Yeah, it's pretty refreshing. I expected something more along the lines of Magic coming from every strong physical movement. You know, like elemental raids without needing to put any effort into the skill at all," he said. This truly had been his theory when first envisioning the form, but he considered this to be very much a better alternative to the idea. He felt as if he could use the power of his Wisdom Form with his right Keyblade, and have added range to the abilities of his Valor Form with the telekinetically controlled Keyblade to his left. "And we officially have a successful experiment that doesn't leave me in a coma," he said with a grin. "I wouldn't have tried with anyone else. Thanks for the research."

Apollymi

02-10-2017, 06:16 AM

"It is pretty neat. And I could see the uses for it in combat, even though I don't favor this sort of combat myself." the young woman mentioned as she quite enjoyed this particular bit of fun. As she moved about and bounced off the walls outside of her home she knew for certain that this form would be something she'd likely use over the other two, which didn't really suit her needs at all. While she had fun, Sion mentioned the fact that he had completed an experiment without ending up in a coma. "Aww, well... I wouldn't have put this much work into helping anyone else. I am happy to help you... any time you need me or my research~" the young woman mentioned.

Bloodedge

02-10-2017, 09:03 AM

"Favored or not, its usefulness can't be understated." With their practice coming to an end, Sion planted his feet firmly on the ground. He then exhaled, reverting to his normal state with a shrinking, soft glow of light around him. When he returned to normal, he sighed once more. "It's good to know I've got help if needed. But, there's something more important than that. You've already helped me, so... how can I help you now?"

Apollymi

02-10-2017, 09:39 AM

"Fair enough. This one is going to warrant its own tome. You'll keep me updated right? I can't wait to see what comes of this Master Form." she said of the form so recently taken soon enough though, Sion was back on the ground and returning himself to normal. As such Temperance would do the same, shaking off the residual feelings of tiredness brought on by the sudden new form. And with the cancellation of the technique both of the young woman's Keyblades vanished in small flashes of yellow light. Moving right along the young woman seemed to look stunned as Sion asked how he could help her, since she'd already helped him. This stunned look then changed to confusion. "What are you talking about Sion? You've already helped me out... like a lot today." she said, in her mind referencing multiple things, like the formation of her Union, added research material, good company and a decent bit of exercise. "Though... I suppose if you insist... I wouldn't mind the company~" she said leaving an open invitation for the young man to spend some more time with her if he wished.

Bloodedge

02-10-2017, 10:07 AM

"Of course I will. I wouldn't let you have any incomplete information, after all." Moving right along, Sion stepped toward Temperance and awaited whatever request she had in mind for him. There was the matter of her disagreeing with his idea, thinking it sufficient that he had already been assisting her throughout the day. On the other hand, Sion did not see things this way. "None of that counts. You didn't ask me to do any of that, so I owe you a favor that you've asked for." It seemed Temperance's request was as simple as a bit of company. This was obviously something Sion could do, but it was strange that this was the request at all. "I offer any favor, and you decide to use it on that? I'd have done that anyway, you know?"

Apollymi

02-10-2017, 10:31 AM

"I was hoping you'd say that~" she said of her rather ravenous desire for information. Moving right along it seemed that Sion didn't accept that his previous interference in her day could be considered the same sort of favor as what he was offering her in this moment. "A favor that I've asked for? Well, that is strange, I definitely don't have anything like that in mind." said the girl. Which was true outside of seeking information she rarely looked for anything in other people, even those she liked. Moving right along it appeared the girl would have gotten this simple thing she asked for, even without it being part of this new apparent deal. "But all I wanted was to spend time with you." she said then she seemed to realize it and became immediately embarrassed her face flushing red. "I didn't mean to say that... like that..." she followed up while covering her face with her hand, it was rare indeed to see Temperance so flustered.

Bloodedge

02-10-2017, 10:51 AM

Temperance's response to his most recent statement was... interestingly unexpected, to say the least. In fact, it reminded him of a few things he had accidentally stated prior to rewinding time earlier this day. As such, he snickered immediately after hearing it fall from her face. "Didn't mean it, huh? Then what did you mean?" he asked to tease. "By the way, feel free to envy my Keyblade. I've been in that situation about four times now."

Apollymi

02-10-2017, 11:09 AM

It seemed that her moment of flustering wasn't all that abnormal to the boy either, who had the ability to fix such blunders. His snickering after her speech let her know he hadn't expected her to say such a thing, and when he went on to question it in a teasing manner the girl could only further crack. "Teasing? Really? Somehow I both didn't and did expect that from you." she said seeming to pout just a bit as her face returned to normal. She still couldn't go on to fully explain what she meant, because the concept of the entire thing in her mind was still a fair bit embarrassing. She couldn't do this to herself if she really wanted to be happy and relax. It seemed that the young man understood more about her situation than one might have thought, only he boasted a Keyblade which allowed him an easy out to his 'social blunders'. "Oh, four times?? And you're teasing me. That's hilarious." she mentioned rolling her eyes just a tad. Even if she wasn't really upset it was still a bit jarring to be so suddenly embarrassed. But still she hadn't really answered his question so she supposed she should, and since she was back to her normal and mostly collected self she did so with such a demeanor in place. "I just meant, that the only thing I'd have to ask for would be spending more time with you. I'm sure if I could have thought of something else on the spot... I would have to avoid the embarrassment." she said seeming to think about it more. "But then, you'd know all about that wouldn't ya'?" she asked playfully having made a theory in her mind that the young man had done something similar earlier in this day, thus setting up their present meeting by association.

Bloodedge

02-11-2017, 08:21 AM

"Well, yes. Four times... maybe five. I'm new to this, so it's kind of hard to remember," he said regarding his previous rewinds. "But... you have no proof, or even knowledge of what I did and said. I could have attacked you, made a move, borrowed something without asking... anything. You wouldn't even know," he concluded. With that said, he began taking steps toward the house, choosing to spend more time here, as per the other Master's request. Onto the next thing Temperance had to say, he of course knew all about the situation by now, but that was another matter entirely. "I didn't avoid any embarrassment. I just decided to redo things just to risk it happening again, which I think is worse. If it makes you feel any better though, I wanted to stick around anyway. But, do let me know if you have any request that isn't on the agenda already."

Apollymi

02-11-2017, 08:43 AM

"I suppose that is fair. I wouldn't know a thing about what you actually did if you rewinded a couple of times. But... you already told me ya' did something... so you can't really hide it now~" she mentioned with a smile. Moving right along, it didn't seem to bother this young woman one way or the other that she was the subject of the boy's time testing experiments and beyond this point, it would seem that he was keen to stick around of his own accord which made the girl smile as she returned to her home. "That does make me feel a bit better. I am sure if I think of something you'll be the first to know~." she chimed as she entered her house apparently content to do whatever thing she wanted to do in the company of the young man with her.

02-11-2017, 09:41 AM

"I could also be lying, y'know. Maybe I just wanted to sound relatable. There's no way you'll ever find out. But, who knows. Maybe I'll tell you what happened one day." Soon enough, Sion crossed the threshold into the building, where he turned to face his host of the evening. He had no clue what they would be doing for the rest of his time here, but he was sure to enjoy the company regardless. Anything was better than the loneliness that was his role before his apprentice was chosen, and right now, this was better than anything else, so he was a satisfied customer, so to speak. "Of course it makes you feel better. You just admitted to wanting me to stay. I'm also giving cheekiness a try, so let me know if it suits me or not."

Apollymi

02-11-2017, 09:53 AM

"You could be lying sure. But why lie to me? Seems like too much work for something way too impractical." she said with a knowing smile. Which was true, she wouldn't bother with a lie if confronted in such a situation simply because thinking of one she'd remember would be entirely too much work. Besides that she felt no outright need to lie to the young man before her. As she entered her apartment again she smiled walking around her kitchen she popped open her refrigerator and pulled from it a couple of soft drinks for the pair of them to share. "Cheekiness is pretty good on you. Please feel free to continue." she said as she offered the young man a drink. And for however long they continued, they would spend some time together chatting in her apartment. Sometime the next morning though, the whole of Daybreak Town would be starting on new tasks concerning their Unions, Masters and many other things.

"Alright then. I will," was the last thing Sion had to say. The very next morning, Sion would be found in a very different location than he had been the night before. He once again sat in the fountain square, against the fountain itself. He had returned to his identity of Luxu, clad in the black coat he no doubt received from the Master of Masters at some point in the past. Here, the young man sat in wait for a particular individual whom he expected to be passing through via the first or second district to reach a nearby location by request of the Master Invi.

A yawn would escape a young woman clad in an odd green suit with purple stitching. Her raven locks messily moving atop her head as she covered her mouth with one hand and pushed around her hair with the other. It was fairly early the next day, and she was headed to the Clock Tower which would take her through the first and second districts, with the buffer zone of the Fountain between them. As she walked through this area she saw leaning against the fountain a rather familiar man clad in a black robe set. Though she'd never seen his face, she thought him a friend and gave him a passing greeting as she walked towards him directly to avoid any unnecessary time jumps. "Master Luxu... good mornin'. " the girl managed having properly returned her hair to its normal state.

Luxu didn't have to wait very long before the person he sought passed through the fountain square. Interestingly enough, the raven-haired girl approached him directly this time around. He could only imagine why this was the case, but that was of little importance now. He had a reason for being here, and he had a reason for seeking her specifically. "Good morning, Kairos. You're right on time. I have a present for you," he said as he pulled a gloved right hand from his pocket to reveal a Keychain with a design very similar to chakram pieces in red and silver colors, with a pure silver chakram as its charm. "Here. Before you go, put this on your Keyblade. I promise you'll like it, and things will go badly if you use anything else you have. It's yours to keep, by the way. I made it just for you."

"Says I'm right on time... I'm running 5 minutes late. But perhaps you planned to meet me here anyways." said the girl as she yawned once more. She was quite obviously not extremely fond of the timing of this day but she was trying to pull herself together enough to do people things. To help her along in this task, it seemed that Master Luxu had a present for her, and upon seeing the Keychain the young man had for her, she couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. "Oh!? A present for me?!" she said taking the charm, with an untold amount of glee. After all the girl was covetous by nature and enjoyed receiving presents more than she probably should. When being told she should use it, and that things would go badly if she used her own, she couldn't help but look at the man strangely.

"Hmmm... it will go badly for me? Well, given your abilities, I am not going to question why you know that... It's too early for me to care to argue with you." she said opening her right hand as she yawned one more time, with the Keychain dangling from her left. Soon enough her Keyblade was summoned in all its strange and dark glory, glowing pink, but soon enough the girl was removing the Keychain from the end of it, and attaching this odd little chakram one in its place. When this happened the shape of her Keyblade changed, seeming to gain a chakram like grip and a glowing blade of flames in the shape of a key. "Well, that's... amazing. You made this for me and I can keep it? Pretty nice of you. And I do like presents. Thank you very much, Master Luxu." the girl said an unseen bit of excitement in her eyes. To be honest, she'd been a bit worried about Master Invi, considering that this man probably didn't know what her Keyblade was actually capable of, and she'd been hiding its form through use of fire based magic alone for an extended period of time.

"You say five minutes late, but you're about fifteen minutes early. All of you are. Trust me, you will be better off for being this late," he said with a grin beneath the shadow of his hood. He apparently knew well some of the events that would transpire on Kairos' journey today, and thought this to be the best time for her personal development. Though there was an air of foreboding around the man when he acknowledged this clause, his intentions were... likely good. "Don't thank me. If you thank me now, you may be even angrier later. So just... go. Invi and your friend are waiting," he concluded.

Meanwhile, the one called Invi and Kairos' companion stood by the clock tower of the Master of Masters, awaiting the girl's arrival. The former seemed to have been waiting for a great deal longer, as his expression was markedly more worried about this apparent lateness. "Don't stress it. She's not really good at mornings," said the younger male.

Kairos heard the words spoken by this man, and though she was more awake since receiving her present her mind didn't well register the potential foreboding of his words. Nor the apparent focus on her in particular. So, in general her fashion she seemed to shrug it off. "I get the oddest feeling that you aren't talking about this meeting I am going to, because I am definitely late..." she paused. "Even after setting like 15 alarms." she stated. Moving right along, it seemed that this cloaked man didn't want her thanks, because apparently something else would make her angry later. This caused the girl's brows to draw together. She was seriously having a problem thinking of anything that would properly upset her in any way. "Really? Me? Angry? Nah... and even if I was, thanks would stand regardless... 'cause presents." still she recognized the need to move on, though she'd prefer to keep prodding the man for information she obviously didn't have the time for it. "Ugh, if I didn't have somewhere else to be... I'd continue probing you for information." she said she'd then give a bow as she banished her Keyblade. "I'm off then~ Later Master Luxu." the girl said figuring this man would likely be appearing much more in her life than she'd be used to.

After walking off the girl would find herself joining the other two young men in front of the clock tower. One of which was her close personal and the other her Union Master and someone she knew but wasn't quite close enough to be considered her companion. "Good Mornin' guys. Sorry, I'm late..." she said the last syllable extending as she stifled another yawn. "Have you been waiting long?" the young girl questioned.

"Alright then. Remember, darkness is nothing more than a state of mind, if you fight against it," he spoke, giving one final piece of advice to the girl who was about to set out on her first journey as a Union member. "I'll see you in the cave. May your heart be your guiding key."

A short while later, Kairos joined up with the two other existing members of the Anguis Union, including its leader, Invi. He released a sigh of relief when she finally appeared before him, thinking they had avoided an awkward approach to the beginning of a daily agenda by her actually showing up in a certain amount of time. "Good morning, Kairos. It hasn't been long. Well... I was here very early, but don't worry about that," greeted the Master. "He was sweating bullets," mumbled Yuri, snickering. "... Umm... anyway. I thought we could go to Agrabah today. We can work on collecting Lux, and since we're at it so early, we'll have time to check in on the other Unions. Yuri likes the idea. Are you alright with that plan?"

The final words spoken to Kairos by this man made her shift her gaze on him tentatively. She didn't know how much he knew about her, so mentions of such things made her a bit nervous. She'd gone out of her way, to preserve her appearances in most cases because most people spoke of Darkness as if it was some contagion to be wiped out. This man's words were comforting in some way, but she wouldn't mention that. She simply went on her way, 'May my heart be my guiding key.'

She thought about this right up until her approach, after which all unnecessary thoughts cleared her mind and she joined her new Union, taking special note that her Union leader seemed quite relieved that she had shown up at all. At her greeting the girl crossed an arm over her chest and bowed seeming to have taken the greeting as forgiveness for her apparently tardy start. Moving right along Yuri mumbled that their Union leader had been sweating bullets about her arrival which made a smirk appear on the girl's face as she straightened up her posture, she'd slyly aim to tap the boy's fist with her own in apparent appreciation for the information passed along. All while Invi spoke of apparently visiting another world to collect Lux before going about what should be considered their normal Union duties. The overall plan of the day wasn't one she could disagree with readily so she smiled and nodded. "Yeah, that seems like a good plan to me. Collecting Lux now, watching people and ice cream later." she said adding in the bit which would be most amusing to herself and she assumed her companion.

The sneaky extension of Kairos' fist prompted Yuri to quickly slap his own knuckles against hers to complete the gesture, away from the eyes of Invi in the same way his earlier words avoided the young man's ear. The widest of grins was upon Yuri's face, but he managed to play this off by following up on Kairos' sentence. "Haha, yeah! Let's get Master Invi in on the habit!" he added. This brought the Master to a pause, which he recovered from after only a few moments of thought. Admittedly, he enjoyed their ice cream outing on the previous day, and he would certainly be interested in such a thing again. "... Yeah. Lux and ice cream. You guys treat on the Lux, I'll treat on the ice cream. Ready?" Even with this question asked, without waiting for any sort of answer, Invi held out his left hand. This gesture called forth a Keyblade in the likeness of a long kris-style blade with a wide, darkened fuller. He pointed this Keyblade to his left, where no one stood, and used it to open a portal between worlds. "Ladies first~"

Her sly fist bump met, and their tracks covered with talks of ice cream after finishing their morning's work made Kairos rather happy. This boy Yuri was likely her friend because of their shared similarities in addition to a slightly devious nature much like her own. "Fair enough~" Kairos mentioned on the exchange of ice cream for Lux. "I'm ready~" she said seeming to have pulled herself together even more over the course of her walk here, and after her very random yet very familiar interaction with Master Luxu. With a portal open before her and the hint that she should go first, Kairos, stepped forward, walking into the portal. Through which she and the others would reach this other world.

"Done deal then," Invi replied as he gestured for Yuri to follow the girl into the portal. And so, the lad did, disappearing into the light which shone through the gate. Invi stood and looked into the portal for a few moments thereafter, mulling over the first official journey of his small Union. He wondered if the other Masters had gotten Unions of much larger sizes already, but in spite of this curiosity, he had to move on. As such, he stepped into the portal himself, and afterwards, it vanished without a trace.

Masa, who was now known as Master Ira, was puzzled on what to do with the information she'd been given. Though the scarlet hairded woman was told what to do she had no idea where she was suppose to be searching. She glanced at the book on her nightstand. Even if the Master said she could look at it to see the future she sort of felt guilty about doing so, to her it seemed like a way of cheating at life. She gulped as she grabbed the book, gently opening the cover and reading through the first couple of pages. As she read, she realized there was nothing that could be done about the Masters disappearance. As she was about to close the book she caught a glimpse of a few words from what happens in the near but distant future, these words would send chills down her spine before no wanting to know anymore. In the book these words were bold 'The darkness will consume your light.'

She shut the book not understanding the meaning of these words, wondering if the others had read it. Shaking the thought out of her head she put on her rodes and mask a headed into town as the book stated she do.
Masa walked into town gaining strange stares from a few bystanders as she strolled along. She paired no mind as she continued to walk on, she glanced at many people but none of them really seemed right. She glanced as she walked but came to a sudden stop, spotting two perfect people. She'd glance on the other side of the street to see a small girl with blue hair, wearing a blue hoodie wrapped in leather belts. Along side her was a young man that looked older than the young girl accompanying him. The boy was dressed in black and red, same as his hair with two leather chokers on his neck of the same two colors.

She paused for a moment before approaching them silently, making her way across the street.
