[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.

Well what about you then, don't you believe you can do anything?

[reassures]

I'll believe I can do something when I actually manage to accomplish something.

[madeinoblivion]

Well, what do you dream about accomplishing?

[reassures]

[Nothing that she can tell Joe about, that's for sure. And nothing she could still do without the people she cared about.]

For a long time, all I really wanted to do was to be able to live with the people I cared about. It seemed simple, and I would have been happy with just that.

When it became obvious I couldn't do that, I wanted to work in a bakery... But even that doesn't seem very important anymore.

The only thing I really want to do now is to be able to protect the people I care about.

[The problem is, though... they're all gone now.]

[madeinoblivion]

That's the thing I want most too.

But it's going to be Christmastime soon, so... at least bakeries should be busy?

[reassures]

That's true. I don't think I'll have the time, though-- it looks like I have three jobs now.

[madeinoblivion]

What do you do, these days?

[reassures]

I work at a bar, usually. But... Yosuke-- he owned the bar, and he's gone now.

The other jobs are new. I haven't tried them yet-- it's just cooking and cleaning sometimes for Jesse, and being a model for Uryuu when he needs me.

[madeinoblivion]

Jesse Pinkman? What's he need someone to cook and clean for him for?

[reassures]

He isn't the most tidy person... neither is Lisbeth.

I think he's just trying to be nice, actually, but it doesn't sound like they're eating anything healthy, so it's probably a good thing.

[madeinoblivion]

Neither are we, and I guess we don't know too many healthy recipes either but...

Man. How is it that some people have so much munny to pay for other people doing things for them?

Not that I'm jealous of Jesse, or anything, it's just-

People like him, like Ciel... they're really lucky.

[reassures]

They're very lucky... I'm not sure they all know what to do with that much money, though.

[madeinoblivion]

Yeah... meanwhile we need more munny just to keep our crummy apartment that gets no heat through half the winter.

[reassures]

...Do you need help? I'm not going to need all the money I'll be making with these jobs.

[madeinoblivion]

Why are you working all three then?

Why not just do what you dream of?

[reassures]

I don't dream of it anymore.

Dreams don't seem very important without people to share them with.

[madeinoblivion]

Hey. You've still got me, okay?

You're a nice girl, and I think you deserve all your dreams.

[reassures]

Thank you.

I don't think I'd be very good at dreaming right now-- but maybe sometime I can do that again.

[madeinoblivion]

I'll make a wish for you, then, that sometime will hurry along soon.

[reassures]

Do you make wishes a lot?

They've never done very much for me.

[madeinoblivion]

When it's important.

[reassures]

Do they ever come true?

[madeinoblivion]

Sometimes. But you can't just give up on them, if they don't happen right away.

[reassures]

Is waiting really any better?

...I don't think you're going to get something just because you wish hard enough for it.

[A pause.]

Are you a fighter, Joe?

I don't think I ever asked you before.

[madeinoblivion]

Yeah! I can fight. Of course I can fight.
