[Within the crowd of crew members collected around the Inverted Ingress is Fiora, who's trying to be as inconspicuous as a cyborg can be. The fiasco with Rinzler was still only a couple days ago. While she's thankful her involvement has mostly stayed a secret, as more and more details come to light, she's feeling more and more guilty for what she did.
And just like that, with timing so perfect as to seem magical, they're being offered the opportunity to go home. Or, well... "visit" home, but surely everyone here is already thinking how they might be able to game the system.
Fiora sure is - she'd do anything to go home for good, especially now. Get away from all these strangers, friendly and dangerous. Get back to Shulk and the rest of her friends. Help with the fight against Zanza. She wants that more than anything.
As soon as their hostess finishes her explanation, Fiora is already looking for a partner. She weaves through the crowd, asking everyone she passes.]
So, do you want to go? If you come with me, I'll go with you to your home after, like a trade-off! How about you, would you like to go together?
((ooc: I'm still open to Fiora going to other worlds or taking people to her own! Either tag in or PM me! ❤️))

[Going home through the Ingress is nothing like the sudden jerkiness of leaving. It's pleasantly warm, and they're surrounded by calm light, and an invisible force whips her hair around like wind. There isn't even a landing. Before she knows it, she's standing with her feet in the grass with Leia beside her.
Around them is a vast field. The horizon, if you could call it that, isn't distant at all - it looks more like the edge of a cliff, less than a mile away. Behind them, opposite the "horizon," are a group of bizarre ramp-like land formations. Mushroom-shaped rocks rise from a small valley. And far, far in the distance is the silhouette of a massive creature, partially obscured by clouds and refracted light, with four red glowing eyes.
Fiora drops to her knees and digs her fingers into the soil. She's really home. This is the Bionis.]
Leia...! [Looking up at her friend, Fiora has a glimmering joy in her eyes that she's never had on the Moira.] It worked!

[Fiora has made a few trips home by the time she runs into Alphonse. She has bags forming under her eyes - how many hours has it been since they've been here? - but her enthusiasm has barely diminished. The sweet armored man, still adult as far as Fiora knew, graciously agreed to go with her for yet another visit. So she took his hand and made the jump together.
This time, when the lights fade and their feet are planted on the ground, there's a misty swamp around them. Although it's nighttime, the area is bright enough to easily see the pools of water and wildlife populating the damp environment. It's thanks to the gently glowing leaves of the swamp's vegetation - some of the trees are several stories tall.
Fiora is silent at first, but then clasps her hands in front of her and turns to look at Alphonse.]
Well, we're here. This area's called Satorl Marsh.
