Welcome to Gaia! ::

]"I see..then, i'm glad your okay! That's pretty amazing, your ability. Especially that you can recover so quickly. " Must have been very useful in battle for sure. "Um, you mentioned your friend earlier. Is she here too? Your not from this world, right? " It wasn't very hard to guess that. "So if your friend needs a place, feel free to bring her here too! It's not imposing, believe me. This place used to be so full of life, it's kind of sad to see it so empty. If anything, it needs the liveliness back. " She paused, thinking on her question. "..Um, well..it's hard to say? People come and go, or find places of their own due to families...even though this place is big enough to hold the lot of Avalanche's team-mates and off-worlder's who need a place. There's me, my sister, mom and dad, Yuffie, Isabel and Hana,um...let's just say a few? Just..not nearly enough. " It was strange when she thought about it, Yuffie lived here with her kids, due to Starks labs being closed off from the rest of the world, it didn't seem to be a family welcome place. " Tifa lives in the bar called Seventh Heaven, uh, its kind of a house upstairs, and Aerith has her own home with her hubby Zack and their daughter Ariel. My dad's kind of the leader of Avalanche, but he's always missing! His names Cloud, you'll know when you see him because his chair looks like a yellow chocobo! ...Those bird birds you probably have seen at some point? " She said with a small grin. "He also carries a huge sword...and mom is Terra, she has mint green hair, and has a smaller sword but mostly she relies on her magic and her esper form. She turns..very pink..so don't be scared if you ever see her like that.." Probably best to give her these few warnings, and descriptions so she knew who was who, when and if she ever did see them. "Sorry, i'm talking to much, aren't I? " ...She had to admit, it was NICE talking to someone! Even if she might become a bit annoying at some point! "I'm sure you will meet everyone, eventually. I just thought you should know some details..so you know who the good guys are. "
She finally took a step forward.."I'm going to find something to put over this horror show.." She was such a funny girl, how she had humor in her so soon after everything, was a mystery. "You can come with me, up the stairs is all the rooms if you want to find a room? Just pick any room with no number on the door, and which ever you want, the inside of the door has your room number that you can set in the front slot. "

Before she left, though, she turned back to Justus. "You should say that in front of my mother..Is big brave demon-boy strong enough to handle a scary pink Esper?? " She stuck her tongue out at him, before hurrying off up the stairs.
"And it's going to take a lot more work if you want to date me, demon. " Layla's voice held a small playfulness to it, while at the same time, she seemed pretty serious too! It was hard to handle Justus, it was no wonder his parents didn't do the best job on raising him!
After several minutes, after the two began their way upstairs she would come to the room of Yuffie's, which she managed to open while holding the ninja in her arms. "We'll put them both here." Would be pretty odd not to, they were kind of husband and wife. Layla placed Yuffie down into her bed gently. "Put him down gently. " She knew him, he'd just drop him right in the bed uncomfortably!

"It's my annoying little sister.." Came the cheerful, 'loving' voice of Tina. Yes, she was here, laying in the window at the corner of the room which was quite the ways back, so it wasn't a big surprise no one noticed her. She had such a small, thin frame she could be difficult to spot when camouflaged in a bunch of pillows! "Apparently, something happened to her again with one of the crazy scientists, blah blah blah..." She sounded SO concerned. Was she actually annoyed, because she was jealous of Hiyori? ...Jealous of being taken and tested on was always something everyone wanted...not. Though it did seem something was bothering her. "..I don't see the big deal about her. It's getting on my nerves..What makes her so special that they want her so bad? Why do I get ignored like i'm nothing?! I...have...use..too!!! But no, it's Hiyori, Hiyori this, Hiyori that! It's over-done. . . " Well, that might answer the mystery of her strange and cold attitude toward her younger sister.
"You should just let her stay that way, maybe then i'll get my spot light back. " Oh,Tina..of course that was all she wanted.

"...You really have a problem, Tina..You are jealous of your little kid sister, who's being put through hell, and living her life in fear of those people? She may not show it, but even I can see through her. She's always trying to be strong and far to mature, she's afraid to even enjoy her life as a child because she wants to be seen as this mature young lady! It's very sad..She does so much to try and keep people safe, and watches the Tear for any new off-worlder's that might show and be attacked by Ryosuke's men.She's EIGHT years old, and has done a lot more to help others then you could ever. So show a little more respect, she deserves that much from you..." Oh, Tina was going to be fuming soon. "Go be her big sister and stop trying to get attention in the rudest way possible. "

(wow I missed a lot and alone again lol)

((hello everyone))

Ethan Cross

The brown haired male slowly opened his green eyes, he was asleep in the chair in his newly arranged room. He had his Closet filled with the old outfits that he used to wear, he had pictures all resting on his desk now of those he had met and befriended, there wasnt a lot of them there. Especially with how often they had seemed to forget about him, but then again there was one or two friends that didnt seem to forget him. His hand went to the pendant he had around his neck, his eyes closed again and he took a long breath before standing up out of the chair and stretching his arms out. " Time to get dressed and start my day I guess." He walked over to the closet, got dressed and put his hood over his head. A kind smile forming onto his face as he picked up the new weapon he had made, it was a sword capable of transforming when combined with its sheath into a Weapon that fires Materia Shots similar to a gun. But was easier to use, using his own energy instead. He put it onto his back and then headed outside of his room and out into the hallway.

Down into the living room, he let out a small sigh pushing a hand through his hair and taking his hood off he mumbled," No reason wearing my hood when noone else is around. I guess everyone is out and about as usual, not that many people still live here." Stretching his arms again he moved to the front door and pushed it open," So, what to do today?" He put a hand under his chest, and shut his eyes again, it had been a while since he had visited that church. Maybe he could go there?

Ethan Cross

Ethan was about to take his first step off the porch, when he heard the rustling of bushes nearby. He raised a eyebrow and instinctively put his hood back onto his head. Turning around he shut the door behind him, before slowly looked towards the bushes. Their was...quite a few of them so he had no idea which one something jumped into. But then again, the teenager wasnt really the inquisitive type in that regard. Half expecting it to be one of those shape shifting kids trying to play a prank on him or something. He put a hand under his chin, wondering what he should do to try and trick them into coming out. But then again, why would he need to trick them. A smile formed onto his face, as a idea popped into his head. And he stepped down from the Porch fully, and then...jumped up onto the roof, and began to gaze over at the bushes. His eyes glowing as he tried to figure out what or who it was hiding. He wasnt gonna risk it being one of those monsters after all, kids do occasionally stay here.

He searched around them, before he blinked a few times seeing a bit of pink hair sticking out from the bushes. He tilted his head to one side, it looked like it was a someone in question. But he didnt recognize the hair, only people whom had pink hair he knew was that Serentian Unisha and thinking of her sent a shiver down his spine. He wondered why they were hiding, maybe they were a spy? His paranoia kicked in, having lived in another world for so long can make someone a bit paranoid.

Ethan Cross

Obviously the brown haired males paranoia was completely unfounded, at least in regards of this person in question being one of those monsters or someone terrifying...Well, that part stood to be seen, but clearly they werent a threat to anyone inside of the mansion. Taking a long breath, he let his own heart calm down before taking a good long look at the girl hiding in the bushes. Honestly it seemed like she was starting to panic, she tried to hide but must have panicked when she did, obviously she wasnt trained for stealth either. Now that he had let himself calm down, clearly this girl wasnt a Spy or anything like that for Ryosuke or anyone. Making a decision, the brown haired Ethan decided he wanted to...spook the girl a tiny bit, mostly to be channeling his inner Sephreia and play a prank on someone else for a change instead of being the one pranked.

He stood up himself as the girl did, and hopped off the roof making it where he silently fell onto the ground right behind her, and he put a hand under his chin before saying," BOO" Very loudly and then following up with,"Sorry! Sorry! I just figured itd be fair for me to scare you since suddenly hearing someone jump into the bushes...well I thought something at first scared me. "
