Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Heh heh..." Tina snickered, it took quite a lot not to jump straight into endless teasing and picking on her poor father of terrible phrases. "Let's mosey...Oh god...I can't..." She tried, and failed to keep the laughing down. "It sounds so goofy coming from you! Ahahaha! " Well, Mark wasn't the only one amused by this, though Tina wasn't quite so quiet about it!

A slender hand came to rest over Ike's shoulder, and as he glanced to his side, he would see Layla there, stepping up to stand beside him, laughing softly. "Don't worry so much,father. I can very well take care of myself. I haven't lost a fight yet. " And she had been in plenty of them, probably more so then she should have! "You shouldn't worry about Justus, believe me. He may be the most laziest person you've ever met, but when trouble does show up, he can handle anything.He is very skilled, don't let him fool you. ...As hard as that is to believe!" Yep, Layla could tease him, even make fun of him all she wanted, but he would always know she was only being playful, in a way only he seemed to enjoy! He wasn't exactly one for soft lovie-dove talk, so she made her own way that seemed to work that he enjoyed.

"If I was to rely on Justus to take down all the threats, I would become bored and out of shape, my skill would fall along with it. " No one wanted that to happen, especially not Layla. "Don't worry, we are perfectly fine just how we are. Even him, no matter how hard that is to see.." She said with an amused smile as she followed her fathers gaze to the lazy form of her demon lover. What a pathetic sight it was!
Then came her next favorite person's appearance, as he so causally placed his arm around her father's shoulder. "Hello, Father in-law." For such a serious girl sometimes, she could put up quite a adorable, innocent smile when she wanted to. It was also a lot of fun teasing her own father. It must have bothered him to think one day...that might truly happen! Well, she certainly hoped so!
Oh, the fun this family would have, even while not being fully connected as family, it was already so much fun!
Layla turned to her father, her smile remaining. The poor guy, Justus must have tore at his last nerve for the day.

Layla's smile turned into a small smirk at Desmond's last words as he left them in per suite of her father, he was so much fun. In both Justus and Layla's time, and the past, he never did change much. A demon everyone wanted to be around, who knew such a thing was possible! ...Everyone but Ike, maybe! Taking a few steps toward Justus's comfy spot in the tree.Her amused stare as he laid there looking up at her remained as she crossed her arms and whispered something so only his ears would hear. "I think I've done Justus more then I can count.." Yep, these two were such innocent ones, lucky them they were never caught, or suspected of being a little to frisky. Not that anyone could do anything about it, they were nearly adults! Justus's next move, as he leaned his body weight against a not so sturdy object, brought an even bigger smile to her face. She could almost feel what was going to happen, and in the next moment, it did. He was one with the ground once again! "I knew that would happen...." Layla covered her mouth, but there was no real hiding the giggles that escaped as she watched him. "You're such a loser, Justus.." Just another way of saying her loser she loved so crazily much!
Glancing around a moment, she had to be certain Ike and everyone else was long gone before making her next move, and that move..was Layla positioning herself into a straddling position over him, so that she was sitting a little below his chest. Her hands would take hold of his collar as she pulled him up toward her and into a sudden, oh-so-romantic kiss! Thanks to the concealment of tree's around the area, the likely hood of anyone seeing was pretty slim!

"Oh, do you now? Everything? Is that another one of your super demon abilities? " A good memory for a demon, yes, that was a power all demons wished for! At his next words, Layla found herself laughing again, it seemed to be yet another 'gift' of Justus's, the ability to make her laugh more then she normally would! "I do very much love doing Justus. I could do it all day." They were probably worse then Phoenix and Nero at this point! Her amusement would continue on as he so casually poked at her chest."You can 'boop' things, or we can do something a little more fun then that. " Yep, definitely worse! It was then that he went for the great classic Justus fall, resulting in a small smirk from Layla as she looked down at him. This was her beloved boyfriend, he was certainly someone to brag about, wasn't he??
And it was then, that Layla decided to tease him by doing what she knew he loved, straddling him as she sat there over his chest, while surprising him with a rather intense, forced kiss! It wasn't exactly only teasing him, though, it was doing quite the number on herself before she realized it! "We have time to kill. Let's spend it in our place, a few hours alone just the two of us.." What ever could she mean by that. "....Of all the times I wish you had teleportation abilities! " Layla got herself up off of him a second later, glancing from the mansion a moment, then back to him. It WAS a huge mansion, but it was also a quiet mansion. If anyone decided to drop by...well, it would probably become pretty obvious there was activity in ways they might not want to know going on somewhere. So, it was best they go to their own secret home, back in the apartments. Yes, the sneaky pair shared an apartment together, and no one really knew it! "Hurry before someone calls on us!" Or something got in the way, which also seemed to happen a lot!

Meanwhile, with the given permission to use Hiyori's computer, Fubtaba was never quite bored during her time at Avalanche mansion. It was a special case, it seemed only Futaba was allowed to do whatever she wanted, with special instructions on how to use other specialties she had not far from the computer station. Of course, Kamui was allowed in too, Hiyori really liked the both of them and so they had the perks where as no one else did, not even her own family, as Tina had experienced some time ago.
But it was time that drove Futaba here today, she hadn't seen Hiyori here, or heard from her for a long period of time, completely not like her, as they kept in touch just about daily, even with little text messages to each other! But as of late, she hadn't received anything, nor did she get any calls. So it was time to investigate! Futaba was on the case, tapping away at the keyboard looking like she were about to take down the world! "Let's see...just where are you at.? I'll find you!" It was like a challenge at the mad skilled teenager to find her, at least, that was how she looked at it, but she also worried a lot, which was really the main reason she was trying to locate her.
The computer suddenly pinged on the map, it was a very faint signal, but no doubt this signal was coming from the Tear of Worlds, from Hiyori's phone that was miraculously working despite having been severely destroyed, still the signal it gave off seemed to be working well enough to track, though who knew just how long it would remain working. "That's strange..? It's been over a week. " She didn't think she just decided to camp out there for an entire week! Something had to be up, and she needed to find out what it was. Looking at the map, she began to type some more, before the screen would turn to real time of that area. "......." It seemed empty, not a soul was to be seen. But she also didn't see Hiyori! Yet her signal was coming from this location..Futaba glanced off to the side, looking to the small platform on the ground to the other side of the desk closest to the wall so that it was kind of hidden in the nook beside the desk and wall. The teleporting device she used to go to the tear when she needed to. "...It looks safe enough.." With no one around the area, it was a good time to go check it out, just in case Hiyori was not in the camera's path.She would only be a few seconds, so it wasn't entirely risky, it was just going to be a simple look-around, before she returned the same way. "....Ok..It's time to be extra brave Futaba..! No one's there...It's the best time!" She couldn't go searching for Kamui to come with her, if she wanted to be sure she got there before anything actually did show up.. So with a few steps forward, she stepped up onto the platform of the teleportation device. the count down already had begin on the computer, and upon reaching zero, it would activate, and instantly Futaba would vanish as she was transported to the Tear.
