[The Pokegear snaps on, and Dick, in a nice waiter's shirt, slumps down against a wall and sighs.]

So this is, uh, ridiculously embarrassing.

[His hair's slicked back, too, and he's loosening a little bow tie with his other hand. Tugging at it with a little more force than strictly necessary.]

Exactly, um. Does anyone have any tips for how to... like, not go broke? How do people keep track of money? How do you not run out?

I plead lack of maturity, lack of understanding of the value of a... whatever the unit of currency is here, I don't even know.

And yeah, okay, if you all want a good laugh at my expense, my foster father is a billionaire, both through inheritance and being the CEO of a worldwide corporation. Go ahead, I've heard all the rich kid jokes and I don't really care, I'd just be grateful, in return, for a little--

[There's a voice yelling in the distance, something about not being paid to take breaks; Dick jumps up and shuts off the feed immediately. He does have a work ethic, okay, he was a circus performer until he was nine, but that money was all put in the bank.]

There are a lot of different ways to be independent, I don't think you should take it too hard.

That's really thoughtful and kind of you.

Yeah, but this is, arguably, one of the most crucial. It's certainly the only one hurting me.

It's good karma, if nothing else... pretty much we all have to help each other here, right?

[unended]

Considering the situation, if you're handling everything else well I think that's already pretty good. And now you're learning how to manage this as well.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be helpful to other people who arrive here as well. [ and there never seem to be a shortage of people arriving. ] If there's anything else I might be able to help with, let me know.

I'll keep that mind. The compliment and the offer, although I'm afraid I'll use the compliment first.
