[b]Renovation, Gummi Ship "Renovation's Might"[/b]

A true soldier sizes up the situation around him. He analyzes his surroundings and the people around him. He listens to any figures of authority present and calculates the most convenient way to get out of a sticky situation, should one arise. A conman does the same, with the added bonus of determining how he could make money out of it.

Yuuta wasn't in a sticky situation, but in an [i]odd[/i] one. The hooded man in black was giving a rundown on the specifics of the situation, until flirting with a white-haired young man in fancy armor (Yuuta could already gauge the cost of it: 60000 Eastern Dollars. It probably had an in-built cooling system too.) and promptly getting punched in the stomach by the man covered in whatever noxious miasma that was. He shook the punch off and opened a portal to what was probably another room of the ship, where a fox-person and a red-haired man threw knives and magic at each other. An old man apparently didn't know what a gun was, but somebody explained it to him while Yuuta was readying the most awe-inspiring speech he could deliver on the inconveniences of warfare.

[color=silver]"Wait, so as you can see here, I've already got a weapon. My pockets are empty but always welcome. How much would I get if I rented my Keyblade off?"[/color]

[i][color=lightcoral]I'm afraid you can't. From what I gathered, it's bonded to you.[/color][/i]

Yuuta heard the message almost exclusively in his head. He knew this because he couldn't [i]hear[/i] it. He could [i]sense[/i] it, though, as a faint voice in his head. He turned around to see the cat looking at him. Cats looked cute, but they were almost always exclusively after your food, so Yuuta kept his distance should this cat be one that needed to eat people to sustain his magical powers.

[color=silver]"Hey look, it's a talking cat. Are you lost?"[/color] Yuuta thought this to himself, as he was sure that was how to reply to telepathic messages. He'd never received one before. Perhaps those eggheads over at Enlightenment's Reach were going to invent psychic ear chips in the future.

Yuuta's slight grin was turned into a a look of shock as the cat transformed into a humanoid cat-like creature wearing a poncho with odd inscriptions on it. It was Astus, the God of Trickery. He was the star of every creepy story his friends used to tell him. Heck, if he wanted to, he could probably transform into a dragon at the very moment just for kicks. Either that, or he could transform into a voluptous  woman and seduce you but leave you in the dust as punishment for desecrating holy grounds. He was just that unpredictable.

[i][color=lightcoral]Perhaps this is a form you're more used to. Are you familiar with me?[/color][/i] Despite asking, Astus knew damn well that Yuuta had at least heard of him. He then proceeded to stop delivering telepathic messages and talk using his little cat mouth.

[color=lightcoral]"Hello, beautiful men, women, and whatnot of the Multiverse! I am Astus, a wee little cat person, and I am going to serve as your team mascot. Meow!"[/color]

Yuuta clamped his teeth together. The God of All Things Sour and Prickly was not going to be the team mascot under his watch.

Astus then sent a telepathic message to Tocsax.

[color=lightcoral][i]Hello there, I'd like to make a deal with you. You see, I'm an illusionist of sorts. My powers are pretty much useless in direct confrontations, unless I plan accordingly. However, I've heard that as I gain experience wielding a Keyblade, I will be able to improve on my powers. I might just be able to project those illusions into reality. You and me, we'll be unstoppable.

However, I'll need some cooperation on your part. You need to help me gain new abilities other than telepathy and illusion-weaving. I need to be at least a little bit more useful on the battlefield.

As for why, let's just say that I've got my own problems to solve.[/i][/color]
