[He's been offering it to new imPorts as he sees it but Tadashi thinks maybe he should just make an open offer. It's about the time new imPorts start rolling in so hopefully this can help people right out the gate.]

Hey, so I've offered this to a few new imPorts already but here's an official open offer to everyone. If you need something repaired or need anything made to replace something from home, I can probably try my hand at it.

My name's Tadashi and I work with mechanical engineering and programming with a specialty in robotics, so if it's electronic, I can probably make something work. If not, I can point you to people who can.

[Yeah. That.... will probably be okay! There's also something else he's been wondering about:]

Also, quick question: it's been a few months since I've seen it - [Tadashi, it's been seven months] but if anyone's seen my hat around the imPort cities, if you could let me know? It's kind of one of a kind here so it's not hard to miss, it would really mean a lot to me.

[IMG ATTACHED]

Anyway if you see it or need help with something, you can reach me here or on my comm.

edit: if it's something dangerous or with the intent to harm others, I won't make it.

[Because Hazel happened.]

whats the big deal, just buy a new one

[tadeadshi]

I can't just buy a new one, not like that one

[microbrobotics]

so make one. black hat, embroidery, convince a telepath to pull the image out of your head

[tadeadshi]

[HIRO IT'S NOT THE SAME......]

Why do you not want me to have my hat back? Did you take my hat?

[microbrobotics]

im not that mean, come on

[tadeadshi]

I never know, I gotta ask

You know it's not the same though

[microbrobotics]

yeah, yeah, i know ...

[ He has Feelings about that hat, okay. Tadashi without his hat is a Tadashi that's alive. ]

[tadeadshi]

So you understand why I'm asking for help finding it

[microbrobotics]

i get it

dunno how tho

[tadeadshi]

I'm sure someone's had to have seen it around somewhere between then and now

[Yes Tadashi, Mabel sees it every day]

[microbrobotics]

or its just gone

[tadeadshi]

Or it's still with someone and they didn't know it was mine.

[HIRO WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST HIS LAST REMNANT OF HOME]

[microbrobotics]

so maybe they'll come forward

just dont hold your breath

[tadeadshi]

Hiro do you have something against the hat

Are you jealous of it

[microbrobotics]

NO GOD

[tadeadshi]

You sure? Sounding an awful lot like you might be.

[microbrobotics]

ugh just shut up

[tadeadshi]

you remember last time you told me to shut up

[microbrobotics]

..... yeah yeah i remember

youre still a jerk

[tadeadshi]

[He knocks on his side of the wall.]

And this jerk is still happy to have his brother here.

[microbrobotics]

[ A vague thump back. He loves you too, you dumb butt. ]

dont get all mushy on me now

[tadeadshi]

Please like I would ever dream of such a thing.

[He is getting up to come to Hiro's room though.]

[microbrobotics]

good. nerd.

[ Those are footsteps, huh. He flops back on his bed so he's lounging in a reasonable position rather than just being flopped all over everything. Since arriving at Aunt Cass', he's quickly filled his room with junk too. ]

[tadeadshi]

Oh my god.

[He's here and he's in the doorway and he is not even the least bit surprised to see the mess already accumulating.]

It's been maybe two months.

[microbrobotics]

Shut up, it could be worse.

[ Not by much though. He can, at least, clear all his junk off in one swipe. This leaves a corner of the bed clear for Tadashi to sit on - an obvious invitation. ]
