I have some important news, and I know this is something many among you have been hoping for. It's not an uncommon occurrence that when one is pulled through the portal into Babylon, not only does a person suffer confusion at the displacement, distress at the revelation that their life as they have known it is a fabrication designed for entertainment purposes, and sadness for the loved ones they have left behind; but there is also an overwhelming sense that they have left business unfinished in the world from whence they came.

I've felt very privileged that our government has thus far so willingly entrusted me with handling their communication with the formerly fictional residents of this dome, and even more so that I am now being asked to deliver this news to you.

The scientists of Babylon have recently made improvements on the process that brings people into this world, but they have also taken the concerns of you, valued citizen, into account and treated them with the gravity they deserve. From this day forth any person who wishes to return to their world may do so, thanks to the round-the-clock efforts of Babylon's specialists in the advancement of portal technology.

For further information, please refer yourselves to the front desk in the main government building. Obviously this is going to be an ongoing process, and we ask for your patience regarding any waiting that may occur in order to make it as streamlined as possible. Thank you.

Hm, perhaps some wine is in order. Lockon, if you're still at the bar later today, I'll be paying you a visit. Please dust off your best bottle of Château Margaux.

Shall we meet for lunch? I would like you to say "goodbye" to your Sifu.

I'll make this brief. The previous post and its comments were not authored by myself. There is currently no way to get back to our homes.

I now have members of the police force working to calm the chaos and send everyone safely back to their apartments, but felt I should write something here to stop more people showing up.

I assume this was a misguided April Fool's joke, and apologize for not noticing and putting a stop to this sooner. I hope none of you are too disappointed.

April Fools.

Well played, Mystery Prankster.

Not that I'm not disappointed, but hey, I'll probably think it's hilarious by tomorrow morning.

If they were here, it would've been my brothers' birthday today (or two of them, anyway) so I always remember the day. The twins loved April Fools. That's why I'm not too disappointed, though I would prefer to be back at Hogwarts. Anyway, happy birthday Fred and George. Wish you could be with me today, I bet... I bet you would have pulled a better prank than that.

Well, I know you wanted to go home, Tieria, but I thought I should tell you!

I'm here for you. Come on by, I took the night off, and we'll talk. I'll steal some of Rikku's ice cream.

Allelujah and Setsuna, I imagine you're not taking it as badly! But there might be enough ice cream for you, too.

I won't pretend I wasn't hurt. I thought maybe, I could go home. As nice as the people here are, I miss you. And I miss all my friends in Spira. I miss the ocean, and the sky...

I'm not going to lose hope. Someday we will find a way home. I'll find you again. I promise.

I think I'm going to try out that chocolate brownie cookie recipe I found in that cookbook I bought last week.
