Daybreak Town

[Bloodedge]

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."

[Apollymi]

"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.

[Bloodedge]

"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.

[Apollymi]

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.

[Bloodedge]

"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?"

[Apollymi]

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.

[Bloodedge]

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~"

[Apollymi]

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.

[Bloodedge]

"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.

[Kiyomi]

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.

[Apollymi]

The girl in her blue hood had piercing red eyes. Her hair seeming to escape in two long strands down the front of her outfit. Whatever she was saying or doing with this young man, a robed individual with a strange mask on began an approach which diverted her attention. This girl was very young looking and to be fair she was only about 14 years old. Even so she was dressed a bit like a punk, in frilly skirt layered and combat boots. Thigh highs held up by belts that looked a bit similar to the double choker around the neck of the young man. "We're being approached by a weirdo in a mask. Just saying... it's starting to seem like what the others are saying is true. Might be about to get drafted for one of those 'Unions'." she said. It seemed she'd had contact with some others who had known about the Unions or heard about them given that a few of the higher class people had already been drafted. She didn't really know what to think. "I'll let you know now, I'll do what you do... but I don't know if this one is gonna want one or both of us." she said as she clasped her hands together behind her back and waited for the approach. Her words would only be heard by the young man at her side, as the heavy collar of her coat covered her mouth for some reason or another.

[Bloodedge]

The male in this pairing walked with his hands tucked into the pockets of his nigh form-fitting jeans, seeming to struggle to shorten his stride and let the girl in his company keep pace with him. "You could stand to walk a bit faster, you know?" he said, seeming a bit upset by her slower movement. "Isn't moving where you shine in a fight? You hardly show it elsewhere." Soon, he stopped upon having it brought to his attention that there was a masked individual approaching them. Indeed, there was. He had to agree that this could only be one of the Masters they'd heard of so recently, but he was left wondering what business the Master actually wanted with them, if any. "I doubt it has anything to do with Unions. I get the feeling those Masters are just picking up people they know, unless some of them are just going for extra."

[Kiyomi]

Masa approached the pair, she wasn't really good with unfamiliar situations, yet she had to be a leader. Knowing her appearance looked strange to others who have only heard of the Masters, she cleared her thoart and spoke, "Don't be alarmed I mean you no harm um... Civilians." Normally she would address others by their name or title if they wish, so this made it difficult for the young straight laced woman. "My name is Mas- Foreteller Ira," She corrected herself, "Leader of the Unicornis Union, its a pleasure to meet both of your aquantics." She offered a friendly gesture towards the pair, hoping they would return their names as well.

[Apollymi]

"You know, you're always complaining about my pace. I've done nothing to deserve this treatment." the small girl mentioned. Knowing that the man in his skin tight pants had slowed his pace to accommodate her own. Still she couldn't help but come back with another cheeky reply about the different between her resting pace and her battle pace. "Yes, I am known for speedy combat, but it's because I am conserving all my energy for right just then. Jeez." she muttered. But soon enough the 'weirdo' in the mask approached them, and she was left to a very strange introduction. This woman apparently spoke from beneath a unicorn mask and would be leading a Union. It was very strange, as her introduction seemed most nervous. It was like this one was unsure of what she should say. Still the girl in blue saw no issue with an introduction, especially if it kept her from being referred to as 'civilian'. "Nice to meet you, Foreteller Ira. I'm Tsukano." she said knowing that the young man with her would introduce himself.

[Bloodedge]

"... Civilians?" the male spoke. As far as greetings went, this was by far the most perturbing he'd ever been exposed to. In a way, it was an annoyance to the young man, but since the girl Tsunako had responded with an introduction, he chose to do so as well. "Shin," was all he said. He found himself wary of the situation unfolding before him. This Master was already coming off as a bit... strange, so to speak. However, she was a Master nonetheless, so he would at least hear out whatever it was she wanted of the two. "What is it you want with us?"
