[Hong Kong's first day at his new job as a banker. Yes, being a barber was interesting, but this is relevant to his interests and much more of the kind of thing he's used to.

In other words: money.

You can find him in his office at the bank, wearing what is probably a horribly expensive suit. Which he's wearing in a rather obvious triad-esque fashion

[wow you must think you look really cool BUT YOU DON'T OKAY]

Y-you-- you are not busy!

[be happy that she hasn't noticed the porn okay

it's bad enough having to drag herself into this horrible American bank, and even worse now that she realizes that it's Hong Kong who she's dealing with. damn it.]

[scentofbauhinia]

[yeah yeah whatevah HE KNOWS HE LOOKS AWESOME

eyes her a moment, oh it's you grandma] If you're here to steal stuff, the guy down the hall has a crystal paperweight thing that should be worth something.

[speaking into the phone again] So there's no way I can have a cake delivered by a stripper? [it's impossible to tell whether he's just saying this because she's there to troll her or not]

[lotuslife]

You-! [A CHOKING SOUND

SHE IS SO SCANDALIZED

slams

a knife into the table.]

[scentofbauhinia]

[still talking into the phone:] Sorry. Can you hold?

[turns to Viet...] ...That was a new desk I think.

What d'you want?

[decadenzas]

[o-oh... oh ow how uncool HK, he just wanted to visit like a nice not!son and grab some lollipops from the front teller line and you are being the rudest not!dad ever.

hope you enjoy being hefted into the air, chair and all. throwing people out windows won't kill them, right...] I wonder how difficult it will be for you to get blood out of that suit.

[scentofbauhinia]

[looks down

blinks

oh it's you not!son]

...Oh. Hey.

[decadenzas]

Don't give me that. [not setting you down yet. at least he doesn't seem as inclined to chuck chair and country out onto the street anymore]

[scentofbauhinia]

[continues to just hang out up here then] ...That filing cabinet is filled with cookies and stuff if that's what you're after.

[hwamei]

[ But. But her money... Well. Whatever. She can do this. Walking up to his desk. ]

That's Maria Ozawa, isn't it? I heard you scream her name. Maria Ozawa, Maria Ozawa-- [ lmao she didn't. But she's going to press the space bar on his laptop to make the video play, all while mouthing, "Maria Ozawaaaa." occasionally to mock him. ]

[scentofbauhinia]

[LMAO Taiwan HANGING UP THE PHONE

and diving forward to try and stop it again] That's clearly not her.

And you shouldn't be watching this stuff.

[hwamei]

I'm older than you! I should be allowed to watch it. And, and I can be sexy [ p-pose ] and erotic [ p-pose ] too, you know! [ back to normal. she doesn't even know what she's trying to prove. :| also she's going to play that video again. even if she's not that into it. because all the cool kids watch porn and she wants to be cool too, okay.

or maybe she just wants to be annoying.

trying to turn on the subtitles so she can read them and be more annoying. ]

[scentofbauhinia]

That's not the point. [yeah he has no idea what she's trying to prove either, but he's going to stare

before trying to pry her hands away from the laptop]

Now what are you doing?

[thatsnotaknife]

[Ignores the dismissal and sits on Hong Kong's desk.] Nah, got lunch later and I only just noticed you were here. [Yup, he's been working here for months.]

[scentofbauhinia]

[oh, had no idea it was you. he finishes the phonecall, after probably ordering more than his own body weight in snacks to be delivered or something and hangs up.]

You work here? [sorry aussie, he just really can't picture you in a place like this. for obvious reasons fff]

[thatsnotaknife]

Have since I got here. [Obvious reasons, yes, until you consider the value of his dollar. He's not that bad at maths, or something like that.]

[scentofbauhinia]

Doesn't seem that bad so far. [spins on his chair a bit

hahaha the abusing of power and large salary certainly helps his opinion]

Kind of boring though.

[glared]

No. Give me my damn money.

[ He has no idea how the hell banks work. A neighbour told him that in order to stay on the drone's good sign, you had to BUY soba noodles, and not just destroy the store and take them. And to buy them, you needed money. And money was apparently at a place called a bank. ]

[scentofbauhinia]

[oh it's grumpy guy. AGAIN.

hangs up after a minute or two.]

...Are you following me? [because you know, you showed up at his last work place, which is kind of odd.

shrugs it off though.] The tellers in the lobby handle cash withdrawals.

Do you even have an account though?

[glared]

Why the hell would I follow you?

... Account...? [ shit damn

you know, normally the Order would handle monetary things. Kanda would just often tell nurses that 'the guy with the hood will pay'

this was stupid. ]

Just give it to me and I can get out of here.

[scentofbauhinia]

You were there at the last place I worked. Grumpy guy that had really bad split ends problems. [hahaha he's blunt, you get used to it

tapping a pen on the desk thoughtfully... or maybe just to be irritating]

Can't just give you money if you haven't deposited anything.
