[reassures]

Ino Yamanaka has left the Port.

She was running a flower shop, but I don't know if she had any papers leaving that to someone in the event of her disappearance. As far as I know there are a few other workers from it still here, so whatever happens to it will be left up to their discretion.

If Ino left unpaid bills with anyone, or any affairs that need settling, please let me know-- I can handle them, just let me know. My name is Nill.

[She pauses. Nill rarely addresses the network at large, and it feels a little too somber to only talk about someone disappearing.]

If anyone knows of any job openings, I could use a new job as well. I don't have enough hours at my current job right now to pay all of my bills. I have enough savings right now that I can handle things for Ino, but leaving it like this for very long wouldn't be the best idea.

I've worked in a lot of different places, but I'm not very good behind a register.

- No! Of course not! [asdkshgld omg does she think he's a pervert???]

[reassures]

[SHE HAS HEARD A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT MODELS, OKAY. And she's very glad he can't see her face, because she's so red right now.]

Then-- it would probably be fine.

[sequincy]

As long as you're sure you're comfortable with it. The sessions would only be with myself, you and a photographer. I could even make sure to hire a female photographer, if that would be less imposing.

[reassures]

It would probably be a little bit easier.

[A beat.]

Are you sure the scars won't be a problem? Some of them are-- really big.

[sequincy]

I'm sure. [a pause.] ...If you'd like, I could ask that they're Photoshopped them out.

[reassures]

Is that possible?

[sequincy]

Of course. Most images are professionally altered these days.

[reassures]

I didn't realize it was so common.

[sequincy]

It is. I actually think it's used too often for silly and unnecessary changes, but this could be an appropriate use.

[reassures]

Maybe-- at least for a little while. Some of the more recent ones are still a little unpleasant to look at.

[sequincy]

But you have them because you survived. They're a sign of your strength.

What could be more lovely?

[reassures]

...They're a lot better than having nothing to show.

[sequincy]

I agree.

[reassures]

[ ... ]

Alright. I'd be happy to be a model for you.

[sequincy]

Thank you. I'm still setting things up, but I'll contact you once I have details.

[eying her thread with Jesse...]

Ah... I guess you'll be keeping house in the meantime?

[reassures]

Don't worry-- I'm good with juggling time, and I'm sure Jesse would understand if I can't make it to clean for him sometimes.

[sequincy]

He's the man you clean for? How do you know him?

[reassures]

Mostly just through the network. I've been over to where he lives before too, but it seems like he has a new place now.

He's a kind person.

[sequincy]

[a little stiffly:] Well. Good. I trust you'd never work for someone who wasn't. There's no reason you ever should.

[reassures]

[Meanwhile, Nill pauses.]

Thank you. I'm sorry if I worried you-- I trust Jesse, though.

[sequincy]

And I trust you.

[even if it won't stop him feeling protective.]

[reassures]

I trust you too. Please don't worry-- I'll let you know if anything happens.

[sequincy]

All right.

[he'll have to just take it at that.]

[reassures]

Let me know when you need me, okay? For anything.

[Even if it's not related to this new job.]

[sequincy]

Of course.
