[Locked to Residents]

Hi, Luceti. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Jane Foster. For several months, I've been working with Tony Stark on a project. A project to get all of us home.

For most of that time the project was kept pretty much secret. Even then, it wasn't entirely safe. We suspect the Malnosso know what we're up to and aren't too happy with us. That's exactly why we want to bring it to the rest of you and step it up: so we can finish this faster than they expect us to and get out of here before they can try to stop us.

The basics are actually pretty straightforward: we're building a device that can open a wormhole, get us through the barrier, and back to our respective worlds and universes. Don't ask about the technicalities unless you're really sure you want them. It's complex stuff.

What we need from all of you is missions. We're close to completion, but there are still a lot of parts we need to complete the device. The only way to get those parts is to buy them with mission points. You guys go out on missions, earn points, buy the parts we specify, and bring those parts to us. Pretty simple, right?

We're not saying you have to participate. But we wanted to open up the project to anyone else in the village who might care to help.

Like I said, it could be dangerous. Helping us probably isn't without consequences. If that's a risk you're willing to take, you can come talk to me or Tony and we'll give you more specifics.

So uh ... any questions, I guess? Fire away. We're both here.


(ooc: Both Jane and Tony will reply to responses here. Feel free to threadjack like nuts.)

I wonder though if there are other places for them to be. Perhaps there's a barrierd world where they could live freely instead of being prisoners.

[Because a prison is a prison, Marco. No matter how comfortable the cell]

[Too much freedom for him to call it a prison. People go their whole lives in prisons of their own making with less choices and worse conditions.]

Sure. And the minute someone finds one and manages to take people there, I'll be right there with them. Until then, I'm more than willing to settle for the next best thing.

I agree with you that it will be reckless to just escape and leave those behind to suffer... And yet...

What about those suffering from being here?

[She realizes she's contradicting herself somewhat but it's not a question she has an answer for. She still wants to see her nakama home. She still wants them to forget this place and live where they were meant to be]

Robin...

[There's a lot of heart-break in that simple word. He knows it's been rough on Nami and the others. And he hates it too. But if Luceti is the kind of place that wears on them that heavily, how can they handle the New World which is even worse? And the thought terrifies him. Watching nakama get tortured and unable to save them? Why did they think the New World broke everyone it didn't kill? Hell, Brook hadn't even made it to the New World and yet lost all his nakama. No, if they want to go home, he wants to let them, but the suffering here can never compare to the New World for him.]

I won't stop them if they have a chance, but I won't let them use us staying behind as a stepping stone either.

Mind if I fly over? I can't do this over the journal.

You would stay here?

[Though it's not really a question]

Mm. I'll be waiting.

I thought I've made that quite clear.

The only way I'm going home is if I can figure out how to get back and bring more brothers with me.

See you soon.
