[ That's right. It has been one week - less than one week - and Edgeworth is already bored and restless on vacation. So here he is. ]

A few items of business.

Wills. The risk of unexpected disappearance due to Porter malfunction is significant. Please be advised that, in the absence of kin or a legally recognized will, any possessions accrued in this world by a disappeared imPort will revert to the government.

I would recommend that all imPorts visit an attorney to write a will with them so that their possessions and funds either go to a friend or stay in the imPort community. I am willing to do this work pro bono; I have little doubt that other members of our legal community here would be willing to do so as well.

Please spread this offer to new imPorts when they arrive.

My thanks to April Ludgate for bringing this vital issue to my attention.

Employment. There are two primary difficulties facing imPorts if they choose not to register. The first is finding employment. I have been accruing a list of imPort-friendly businesses who are willing to hire unregistered individuals, and I am currently working on setting up a service that will help new imPorts find job placements. The first step is finding someone who will work as a career counselor and manager of this service; please contact me if you wish to apply for this job.

Fund. The second difficulty is, of course, finding money. It is difficult to sustain ourselves, being as we are refugees, if we do not have support from the government; those who reject government support are often at a loss.

To counteract this, I've set up a legally registered fund. This fund will make interest-free loans to any imPort in need of support.

The current endowment is $26,000. This is a paltry sum, as you can see. It is desperately in need of donations. All donations will be completely tax-deductible. One-time donations are appreciated, but continuing donations are even more so; I myself am donating 10% of every paycheck to this fund. It need not be so much; every bit helps.

Phoenix Wright is the other individual working with the fund. Contact him or myself if you have any questions.

Thank you very much for your time and attention.

I know. Yet the budget cannot be large. Our funds are very limited.

It doesn't have to be large, just existent. It's a good idea, but not a good idea that can happen for free. If it isn't, I could be more interested.

A point well taken. A question, though, if I may. What skills could you offer that would merit payment?

Everything.

Please forgive me for being blunt, but that's not very helpful.

Sorry. It was kind of a joke. I have extensive training in business and counseling, and a lot more beyond that.

Understood. Thank you. What work experience have you had?

I have prior experience as a substitute teacher and an emergency consultant. The second one involved some career counseling.

[ if telling ninas to pursue a new line of work counts. but you can't help ninjas. ]

I see. And what wages did you previously earn?

[ minimum... ]

I would think it would be better to determine what would be most reasonably paid for the work completed and the resources available. Wages on different worlds mean completely different things.

[ Wryly: ]

I must say, your interview technique is unorthodox. Correcting my choice of question.

I didn't realize this was an actual interview, since the position wasn't paid before we started talking. Personally, I would prefer to conduct it a little less publicly.

You want to be employed, and I'm your potential employer. Of course it is an interview: all interactions, till you are hired, are part of the interview.

Fair enough. But if that is the case, I think I'd be more comfortable without being asked to share personal information over a public network.

Fair enough. Do you know how to set up a private line?

Easily. But even that may not be foolproof.

The information isn't terribly sensitive now, but when it is...

Do not worry, sir; I'm not going to be asking for your social security number of a semi-private network. I just want to get a feel for what sort of compensation you feel is appropriate for such work.

Enough to get out of government housing, at least. My last job wasn't much, $12 an hour. It covered the necessities, and I guess I didn't do much beyond that. But saving for a rainy day isn't as practical here.

That's a bit more than the business could afford at the moment, unfortunately.

And I'm not saving up to retire here, so it's probably a bit more than I'd need. Which goes into my earlier statement about wages on different worlds.

What can you afford?

$9/hr, 20 hrs/week.

It isn't really much, is it? But I guess it's a start.

Is that coming out of your own pocket?

[ A hesitation, and then he admits: ]

For now, yes.

Well, hopefully we'll be able to get some kind of sponsorship going forward. In the meantime, it would at least give whoever gets the job the resources to pick up a second one.

Indeed.

Are you still interested?
