Daybreak Town

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."

"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."

"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."

"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.

"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?"

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.

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."

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.
