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.)

[He hesitates a bit. After all the times he's come and gone and left Xion sad, it kind of hurts. But, he has to be honest on this. So he nods.]

I mean, yeah, I'll be going home if I can. But if the Malnosso are going to start attacking everyone I can't just leave. That wouldn't be right.

... [ That wins a smile, soft and sad. ] Sora ... I know how much you care about us. But if you get the chance... you have to go. Everyone needs you.

Xion...

[He can't help but look just as sad back.]

I know. I need to save you, Roxas, and everyone else from all of that pain. But, I wouldn't be doing that either if I left you guys here to hurt more under the Malnosso. Besides, when we do beat them and we can go back home I can still do that without having to worry what's going to happen to you guys.

Sora...

[ She lapses into silence as she thinks. When she realizes it's stretched on too long, she finally speaks up again, subdued but very fond. ]

You're the bravest boy I've ever met. You mean so much to me... to so many of us. Without you, there is no us. That's why it has to be you. [ Her smile is infinitely sad. ] You have to be the one, Sora. You have to go. We'll be okay here. I promise. But you can't stay to take care of us. Not when we need you back home, too.

Xion...

[She's right. She's definitely right. He can't do both as much as he wants to. If he ever wants to ensure them to have any kind of happiness, he needed to save them in his world first.

So, he nods just a bit.]

Okay...then lets make a promise!
