Daybreak Town

[Apollymi]

"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."

"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]

"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]

"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]

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.

[Bloodedge]

"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]

"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.

[Bloodedge]

"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."

[Apollymi]

"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.

[Bloodedge]

"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]

"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.

[Bloodedge]

"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]

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]

"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]

"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.
