Uh... hey there, everybody. [Jaime clears his throat.] Are we all here to help with this jewel thing? If the person who pulled me here is listening--I'm not completely unfamiliar with being dragged through time and space against my will, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Or have it happen to me without permission. If it was a good cause,

Are you from another place like this too? o.o

And . . . there's been a lot of dinners, I'm afraid. ^^;; But! That's a good sort of spirit to have, especially in the face of odds! This is how Justice comes to be!

[w_w_t_k_d]

Not exactly, but...kind of. We've got aliens and superheroes and stuff.

...A lot? Have you been here for a long time?

Amelia was over in Cape and Cowl before this, to clue you in. ;)

[willofjustice]

. . . Aliens?

Ah!! You have superheroes? Really?? Ne, ne, do you know me? I'm Amelia -- Amelia wil Tesla Saillune! Sometimes I was called Justice Girl, but mostly everyone called me Amelia because . . . well, really, I wasn't that good about keeping a secret, and it didn't matter anyway because everyone was a superhero.

I've been here . . . well, it hasn't been quite a year, I guess, but working on it? ^^;;

Oh! Ok, I see! :>

[w_w_t_k_d]

Yup. Aliens. I've run into them more than I would've liked. And...sorry, I've never heard of a Justice Girl. Where were you from? Before I ended up here, I was in Texas.

A year?! Are you serious?!

[willofjustice]

What's an alien, though?

And well, I'm from Saillune, really, but after that I was from a place that was just called the City, and it had a lot of heroes and villains in it. It was . . . kind of dark, but amazing, too, because there were also so many people fighting for Justice!

. . . I miss some people there a lot. I wonder if they're still there . . .

Uh-huh -- a year. Or . . . getting close, anyway! When August comes. It's July now.

[w_w_t_k_d]

You've never heard of an alien? An alien is somebody who comes from another planet. Like...E.T.

Sorry, I've never heard of a "the City", either. Lots of cities, but not THE City.

After we're done here, though, we get brought back, right...?

That's...not good. I need to get home. My parents don't know I'm gone--a few hours, maybe, a couple days, but a whole year?

[willofjustice]

ET? o.o Is he a friend of yours?

I guess I never thought about it before . . . We kind of have a lot of problems with the one we have. ^^;; Is Texas a good planet?

[Amelia hesitates a moment in her typing.]

. . . It's okay if you haven't heard of it. It's always worth checking, isn't it? I keep hoping I'll see someone again . . . but if there's a lot of worlds like this, that's probably not so easy, is it?

Ah! I'm sorry; I didn't mean to make you worry! I think we can go home when we're done, and some people I think even went home before that!

[w_w_t_k_d]

...I'm guessing you haven't seen that movie, then. And that you're not actually from the same planet that I am... Texas isn't actually a planet, but it's a place on mine. Does Earth ring any bells?

[Jaime frowns.] Hey, you never know. Anything's possible, and I've seen a lot of things, even really unlikely ones, happen.

N-nah, it's okay. I'm just worried that they're going to worry. Here's hoping we both get back to where we need to?

[willofjustice]

. . . This is Earth!

. . .

Actually, I think we have a Texas here too, now that I think about it. o.o And that must be what the newspapers mean about aliens. There's people here that think everything in Haven happens because of aliens. ^^;;

[Amelia's smile softens a little as she types.] And that's really nice, Jaime-san -- thank you. Both things. We'll work hard too to make sure everyone gets back as soon as possible.

[w_w_t_k_d]

Gracias a Dios. At least I'm stuck on Earth and not...Mars or something...makes things easier.

There is? D'you know where Haven is--like, what state it's in?
Wouldn't be the first time stuff happened because of them.

Anytime. Good luck, Amelia!

[willofjustice]

Washington! I think we're really close to one called Oregon, too . . . I guess they don't fight because they're all part of a bigger country -- that Texas country is too.

Jaime-san will help too, right?

[w_w_t_k_d]

Washington, huh. And actually, they're just called states. The bigger country is the United States of America.

Definitely! It's why I'm here, right?
