Who: Tadashi Hamada & everyone!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide.
Action: Probably somewhere on the Bishop!
When: Today.

[ the video is brief, but tadashi's smile seems earnest and cheerful. ]

Hey, guys. Just a quick check-in: is everyone good with money? We've had a lot of new faces show up recently, and I feel like it could be tough spending your couple of days here broke on a space station this size. So, uh - welcome, I guess!

[ whoops. he's not trying to be awkward, just friendly. :') ]

I'm Tadashi, on the Bishop, and if you think you need help, let me know and I'll see what I can do, alright?

Are you...offering people in the fleet money?

[He is WORRIED about you, you pure cinnamon bun. ]

[ oh. tadashi's just going to crack up slightly here. ]

Yeah. Why? Do you wanna chip in? Every little bit helps.

[save_the_souls]

Ah, that's alright. I have to save my fund to pay people at the blood drive.

[Oh Tadashi]

Just be careful, okay? You might summon moochers.

[ishere]

If it happens then it happens.

[ dismissive. ]

It's not like I've got that much to mooch.

[There's a pause. From the expression on Allen's face, he clearly does not understand this logic. In fact he thinks it's insane. Maybe this guy has never been without money before, or something.]

[But Tadashi is a grown man and it's not like him and Ino have joint finances so...he might as well just let the guy make this terrible mistake. Right? There's proteins, and Hiro is more savvy- so he won't starve]

Well, as long as my Master isn't here, I guess it'll be fine....

[And seeing the other comments]

Toph definitely doesn't need the money.

[ he's watching allen's face, as if he's trying to really dig in and understand exactly what that expression means. the stakes here are incredibly low in his eyes; it's not like he's got anything better to do with what he's making, right? ]

I'll keep that in mind. Friend of yours?

Crewmate. She had a pile of money buried in a mound of dirt.

[Plus all her con-artistry, but he's not gonna sell out Toph that easily]

[ tadashi looks briefly very baffled. ]

Dirt? On... the ship?

Video

[save_the_souls]

She's an Earthbender- she can control earth.

So she likes to have lots of dirt around. [SHRUGS; this is totally normal to Allen]

Video

[ishere]

Oh.

[ said as if this makes perfect sense, though it's clear by his expression that he's still occasionally confounded by that sort of thing. ]

Enough dirt to hide money in?

Video

[save_the_souls]

Apparently!
