[ Video ]

[ do you know how to cope with being murdered in some haunted house by some creepy omnious voice talking to you? You don't sleep and decide to drown in work. That's obviously what you should do. That's obviously what kaneki is doing.

When Kaneki comes to the screen he is wearing glasses and is surrounded by books and two computer screens, and he looks like he hasn't slept in years (because, let's be honest, he hasn't). He will get right to the point when the video feed starts, offering a small smile and a bow of his head ]

Hello. I wish to bring something to you today. Years ago, an imPort by the name of Kate Bishop started a FAQ, with the idea to give every imPort the information they needed about this world and their situation. It was a good idea, but once she was ported out, this FAQ became out of date and it hasn't been updated in years. I wish to bring it back and follow what Miss Bishop wanted to do. I already have her FAQ, which I'll be adapting and updating but given two years have passed since it was written, I think it's necessary to add what today's imPorts want to know and worry about.

That's why I'm making this post. If you have any question you want to see in this FAQ, go ahead and ask. I'll be adding them to the document. And of course, share the document once it's ready.

Newcomers and even older imPorts. A lot of us still don't know some important details, sadly. [ since usually information is spread all over. ]

I'm glad to hear that. Family is important, after all, and not many have the chance to be here with them. [ he smiles. Her question doesn't change that smile because kaneki is good at hiding things ] I'm well. I enjoy keeping busy like this.

It seems strange to me that anyone would live here for an extended time without seeking out knowledge of this place. It is important to understand the workings of where you live.

Indeed. I consider myself very lucky to have been granted time with my family here. [ and that's strong warmth and pride in her voice, as it nearly always is when she speaks of her children. ]

Yes - I've always found it difficult to remain idle myself, particularly when there are so many things going on.

[ghoulking]

Most people don't see this place as permanent or something they should worry about since most of us don't stay here longer than a year. To many this is just a vacation. [ yeah. It's not really something is pleased with; he has been here for over three years and it has definitively not been a vacation ]

I'm the same, truly. What do you plan on doing, your Highness?

[functusofficio]

That does not seem like a reasonable approach to take.

[ A little severe, but she's still in the early stages of this. ]

I do not know yet, but your answers have been a great help on the road to knowing what it is I should do.

I thank you for that.

[ghoulking]

It's not, but it happens sadly.

[ he nods softly with a smile ] I'm glad I could be of help somehow. Hopefully you'll find your answer soon.

[functusofficio]

Never underestimate the power of conversation and kindness to someone new and uncertain. You have been a welcome voice as I learn how to deal with this new place.

How do you spend your time other than this? What there can be of time left after all that you spend helping others.

[ghoulking]

I'm glad to hear, I hope to continue to help.

And- [ well. ] I run a coffee shop that specializes in japanese cuisine. And I read a lot.

[functusofficio]

I think it likely you will.

[ She has found a resource, Kaneki, she's not letting you go anywhere. ]

You run your own business as well? Those have always seemed like such a full investment in terms of time to me.

[ghoulking]

[ ohhh miss padme ohhh ]

I can juggle, really. Truthfully, I don’t sleep much, so this keeps me occupied during sleepless nights.

[functusofficio]

Because you don't need to, or because things keep you up?

[ghoulking]

I have insomnia. [ it's not really a secret, he supposes ]

[functusofficio]

Have you seen a medical droid --

A doctor about it?

[ghoulking]

Medicine doesn't work on me. I do see a doctor [ psychiatrist ] -and he does help me quite a lot.

other than that, I live normally. It's nothing I worry too much about.

[functusofficio]

That is unfortunate. Lack of sleep is not a pleasant thing.

[ghoulking]

It's not, but I'm used to it, so it fine the way things are. [ so he says ]
