[ let’s start with important things. After a sigh, he finally starts: ]

Hinami-chan has left. I know some of you know a bit about our world, but I want to assure you that she is fine. [ well. As much as she can be given the situation ] I come from three years ahead of her and she has grown to be an amazing person, strong and still very sweet. She is alright. [ And that’s why this isn’t as difficult as he thought it would be. Because of course Hinami couldn’t live here forever, but at least Kaneki knows how she is now. ]

Also, most of my employees were ported out, so if anyone would be interested in helping out at the :Re Café, spots are open. Until then, the coffee shop will only open from 4pm to 2am. [ it’s an unusual schedule, but of course he is thinking of the vampire clients and similar ]

That aside- I have been here for almost three years and I realize that I barely know anything about computers and technology. [ he means hacking. ] I should have done this long ago – is anyone willing to teach me how to hack and how to work around with technology? I can pay, if necessary, and I’m quick learner. [ VERY quick, actually. Which will be very helpful ]

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It's good that you can at least know she's doing alright back home.

About the coffee shop... I have some experience working in one, but my time will be a little tight when school starts.

[Some part of him really does miss making coffee, but he can't buy really nice beans on a part-time clerk salary...]

[ghoulking]

My sister. [ he corrects gently. Because no matter what, Hinami will always be his sister, specially after what they've lived through here ] And yes, I just hope she'll continue to be fine afterwards.

And well, if you only want a part-time, I can work with that too. School is important, though, you shouldn't skip because of work.

audio

[crimeboy]

Your sister... Sorry. Even if you know she's well, it must be hard to be away from her.

I don't plan on skipping school, don't worry. I just enjoy brewing coffee, and I've a little training in it. It's kinda relaxing to work in a coffee shop, even if it's only part-time.

[ Though she didn't know the girl as well as Kaneki, the few times they had interacted, she hadn't found any reason to dislike her and so ]

I'm sorry, Kaneki. Even if things are fine with her back there, it's still strange to be without ones sibling...

[ Story of her life. ]

( voice )

[ghoulking]

It's not the first time she's ported out. [ last time Kaneki really didn't behave this well. ]

I will see her again. [ he knows Krull won't be as lucky as Kaneki is ]

( voice )

[thirdprogenitor]

So confident about that.

[ She finds it... not amusing but perhaps curious with that given she can't say the same for herself with her own sibling situation. ]

I hope you do get to see her again then.

[audio]

[allforyuu]

That is a shame. She was a nice girl.

[audio]

[ghoulking]

She still is.

I'm sure she would be sad about leaving without saying goodbye.

[audio]

[allforyuu]

That would be like her.

...Do you think she'll return?

private

[dirtyredneck]

You want me to put her things into storage at the house?

private

[ghoulking]

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that. I just don't know when because she might show up again. The porter does that a lot.

private

[dirtyredneck]

Once it hits a week and you ain't seen her, the odds of her coming back any time soon drop to almost zero. Guy who was into dates did some math on it and figured that out. We can wait and see, if ya want.

[itssacrifice]

I'm sorry to hear about Hinami, Kaneki. I didn't get the chance to really know her but she seemed sweet and gave me by far the best waitress service I've ever had.

I'll willing to lend a hand around the cafe for awhile until you figure out something permanent. My job requires early mornings but my afternoons are free. Maybe this way you'll have to share some of your secrets with me after all. [He chuckles.]

...What are you planning to hack?

audio;

[ghoulking]

[ he makes a small pleased sound ] She really was. I wish she could do that back home, since it made her so happy.

And- actually, yeah, I would appreciate it. I cook in the morning and setting up the coffee shop to open while I have to do the cooking gets difficult. It can be your part time for a bit. [ of course Kaneki will pay him for his work

as for that last question, it leaves Kaneki to smile to himself a bit. "The government" he almost wants to say. ] I just think it's an important skill to have here, like a lot of others. Do you know how to hack?

audio;

[itssacrifice]

Lucky for you I'm a fast learner so just tell me what needs to be done and I'll do it. How soon do you need me to come in and at what time? [He's not concerned about the money. His job as a weather man covers what expenses he has just fine. But he won't turn the pay check away either. If anything the extra money could come in handy some time.]

Uh huh. [He has a feeling he knows exactly what Kaneki is up too, but he's not going to deter him. He doesn't have an ounce of trust in this government.] Can't say that I do. But if I run across someone who can I'll point them in your direction. If you don't have anyone already offering their services. Just be careful.

audio;

[dejerate]

Eh? Hinami was ported back home? Ah, I'm sorry, Kaneki. If you need help, maybe I could see if Mika and I could come over sometime? I mean, I kind of owe you anyway, helping me with homework and all.

audio;

[ghoulking]

It's alright. She is fine. [ he will miss her terribly, but... yeah, she's okay and that's all it matters ]

You don't have to feel like you owe me, it's my pleasure to help. Though, I'm not sure Mikaela-san would be happy with that, as well. [ Mika doesn't seem to like Kaneki that much, possibly because of Krul. Ken picked on that. ]

audio;

[dejerate]

I guess that's the important thing. If you know she's okay at least, back home. Not like there's yet a lot we can do about it from here.

[Without control of the Porter themselves. Yuu's still got that aim somewhere in the back of his mind. Even if it might seem impossible, or extremely difficult at least.]

Huh? Why wouldn't he be happy? He and Krul go there a lot, right?

i don't know quickbooks ok so if your ~~ tech tutor ~~ needs to teach you that shit so you can pay your new employees and help them contribute to this society then you are better off taking classes at the freaking community college

same goes for programming your gps or whatever

[ghoulking]

I want useful computer skills. not skills for my job.

Like making sure a private conversation doesn't leak out to the entire network at some point in the future. [ like hacking the government too ]

[nastygram]

dude you are getting so dark side on me these days and i fucking love it

i'm not going to say encryptions are easy but u can start there if you want

[tacticianing]

[Kidou clicks on audio after a long moment. Even then, he has to pause before he says what little he can, and hope he sounds far more neutral than he feels.]

... I appreciate your telling us that.

[She deserves a good life. He has no idea how one is possible, given what he knows.]

audio

[ghoulking]

[ a "good life" will be difficult. But she IS alright, and that's what it matters ]

Hm, it's no problem.


[ there is a pause ]

.......... she has a boyfriend back home. [ YEAH, KIDOU. DID YOU KNOW THAT? DID YOU????? ]

Audio

[disentombs]

That is quite the unusual schedule for a cafe. Any particular reason?

I'd be interested in helping out, though I must say, I haven't been to your shop before. Would you mind if I stopped by maybe later?

[Also Gansey's an insomniac so the hours aren't an issue.]

Audio

[ghoulking]

It is, yes. I have some clients who can only come later at night. [ vampires. ]

You can drop by whenever you'd like. We can talk for a bit and see what you we can figure out. [ and before he forgets ] I'm Kaneki, by the way.
