Daybreak Town

"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."

"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.

"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!"

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.

"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!"

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.

"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?"

"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.

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."

"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.
