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.

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.

[reassures]

Then you can protect people.

I can't. I keep trying to get stronger-- I thought I had become strong enough to protect the people I care about, but... I had to fight something that was really strong, and I didn't stand a chance against it.

[madeinoblivion]

I fight with a friend at my side, sometimes...

She doesn't fight much herself, but she still protects me.

[reassures]

Really?

How?

[madeinoblivion]

With magic that makes me feel stronger.

[reassures]

I didn't know there was such a thing. That's really amazing.

[madeinoblivion]

She is really amazing.

[reassures]

I'm glad you have someone to help you.
