Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh? Ya'don't say! The tatzelwurm ghoul was ready to glance at some tiny baku photos when Xiu herself returned to the scene. Hayate seemed to be putting them back into the pocket of his pants (i c u Kai); another time? Looks like he was offering another opportunity. Aww, shame ya'can't stay longer, Uncle... Sure thing! If she'll have me, I'd be pleased'as Popcorn ta'see ya'll back home. Judging from their clothing and Xiu's lady-like habits, it was surely a very different place from where Levi grew up. The land of the baku was of definite interest to the adventurer within the white-eared ghoul. It was'a pleasure meetin' ya.

Blanked out momentarily by the conversation she was having with her newly found family member, one of those ears began to pick up a crunching. It wasn't Rex,... it wasn't Jove... but it was the chomp of a hungry boil she recognized. Turning to see who was munching on snacks by her, Levi felt a flicker by her tail by this individual. She was ready to give them a talking to for 1) chomping so close to her ears like that 2) watching where he was putting that tail when, sure enough, Levi came face-to-face with the wrath demon. An involuntary smirk arose on her face, resisting the urge to greet him properly; he sort of had that covered, she reasoned. Well... should'a known. West, fancy seein' yew 'ere. Not'a fan 'a tha'food, I see. If a tail end was flickering back and forth, it was completely involuntary but not unpleasant.

It took a little while but Shun finally managed to find her. As he came toward her she shuffled to meet him half way, her hands gripping the sleeve of his jacket for security. The kiss was returned in greeting though Mitsu's eyes quickly opened again to stare at the crowd for a moment before focusing back on Shun.

"H-Happy Halloween." She gave a light shrug and a nod to indicate she was alright but quickly gestured to his outfit. "How was this?" By this she meant his time in the human world scaring. Hopefully had hadn't run into any trouble.

OOC Notes:

Than's ears flickered, as though responding to Yosuke's mention of them. "Mmmm...Than's ears are pleasinglike, but biiiiiiiiiiig, in the way lotsly." He huffed, "Not like Yoyosuke's cherries." It was almost a grumble, the tiny youth letting out a slightly wistful sigh as he continued trundling into the doorway of the Sparkle House, motes of glitter wafting out as though on a draft. To the pup they seemed to beckon, but he supposed it was far more likely that the glitter was supposed to be menacing somehow. There were vague recollections of running for his life last year, but he'd cheerfully buried all of them in past memory. No need to keep the downers, just a mental scrapbook of the highlights!

"Yoyosuke is cotton?" He released Aksaja's wrist in order to lean over and give the boil a bit of a poke, having to reach up and get on tiptoe, paws straining to make him taller, in order to properly touch one of the blossoms. Eyes narrowed in a rather studious, examining expression, and then he nodded. All right. So he wasn't always cotton. "What are youses?" A rather innocent query. Thannas, after all, had never encountered an Ittan-Momen before.

Good eye flicked over to the dragon, as the tall reptilian boil spoke, and rather instantly Than had bounced over to examine. He'd always liked Aksaja's eye-catching markings, he hadn't known just how far they went, or where else he might have them. Making a low, thrumming sound of fascination, he brushed careful fingers down the other's arm, tracing the swirls. OvO! <3333

"Isveryveryverypretty." He cooed, ever so fond of the contrast between the dark patterns and the older student's tanned skin. "Than only has theeeeeeeeeeeeeeese." And he tugged at an ear with thumb and forefinger, tail thumping behind him merrily, not to be forgotten.

When the grue approached them, the Fae-hound's head whipped round, visible eye wide and excited as he'd heard Merry call over to the newcomer. "HELLOES!" He greeted ever so cheerfully, not sparing a grain of enthusiasm towards the newest addition to their group. Merry had made the introductions, but that did not at all satisfy Thannas' curiosity. Leaaaaaaaaaaning up towards Nahm, he stood on tiptoe to get a better glimpse of those sharp teeth, utterly fascinated.

"New-Nahm can come!" Than announced, the small boil seeming to have accidentally become the self-proclaimed leader of the group. "Has Nahm been in the Sparkle House?" It was likely to be the first in a long strain of inquiries, as the hound had about a thousand questions about their dark-colored newcomer.

Squeezing Merry's hand, he looked 'round at the small company that had gathered around them. Well, they surely were a brave enough crew to pass through all that glitter unharmed, right? Leaning against the chimera, he paused to let the others become acquainted with one another. Despite his enthusiasm, he knew that everyone else needed to say hi as well. His friends must all be friends. At least, that was Than's way of thinking, previous prejudices and upcoming personality conflicts simply didn't factor into the pup's plans; a truly chronic case of optimism.

Waiting for her, Shun nodded quietly while gripping her hand gently. Once he had her, he slowly went on into the crowd while keeping an eye out for familiar faces. There were far more strangers here, so it was a little tough.

"There's some food nearby as well if you'd like to pick some up. Also feel free to give a tug if you see someone you want to talk to," he said quietly to her.

Now this was getting hot. TG KNEW she wanted him, and despite the terrible pain in his face, he grinned at her and decided that, since he already got punched, she at least owed him a feel.

"Let me help you with that tail." Otto got a firm a** grab.

"Ah--okay! You're welcome to join us again later on if you'd like!" Xiu offered Mayaa a smile and a wave of her hand as the other ghoul walked off to the refreshment table, slowly turning back to regard her friends. However, before she could get another word in, she suddenly found herself being hugged by a very enthusiastic hellhound.

"Wha--Demi?" Or, er...Phos? Apparently this was the first time the baku had actually encountered the more enthusiastic personality of the boil. For a minute she looked puzzled, but then she simply laughed, accepted it, and returned the hug.

Chuckling, Hayate gave Levi a light pat on the shoulder, gesturing towards Xiu with his other hand. "I know Xiu would be happy to have you visit. You, Shun, and her other friends." Xiu's parents, on the other hand, were a different story...but he was sure that he would be able to convince them if he was given prior warning.

...Prior as in a good, solid two months or so to try convincing them.

"Anyways, I should go. Xiu?" The little baku immediately moved over to her uncle, wrapping her arms around his middle as she latched onto him. He returned the hug, bent down to murmur something to her, and let go after planting a quick kiss to the top of her hand. Ruffling her hair, he turned to look at the others--including West, who he had just noticed, and offered a "OvO" smile--and bowing.

"Nice to meet you all. I hope you see you again sometime."

Jude and Robert were going to be dead men when he returned.

To make it all worse, on top of being hit on his a** was now in the palm of a teeny, creepy little fire imp. Otto bristled in disgust and anger, just about ready to kill. Eva swooped in just in time. While being carried bridal style was degrading, so was a** grabbing. So really, if he had the choice, being safe in Eva's (Golem's) arms was the better choice.

To prove Eva's point, Otto stared down at TG with a terrible glare, lifted a finger and swiped it across his neck. He then flipped TG off with that very same finger.
