This is a popular new treatment? Blackmail?

{If this were "Peanuts," House would be Lucy right about now. However, it's just a case of House needing to pay a bill in preferably non-traceable cash. What? That's totally normal.}

{His whiteboard with that message is pulled up next to his desk, which he's sitting leisurely at. And by leisurely, I mean he's watching soaps on his portable TV.}

{House is a real doctor, I swear.}

[Kyouya stops, looks at the sign, and then looks at the man]

[First thought? "Keep Tamaki from spending all of his money on this person"]

[Business smile time!]

I had been wondering if there were any doctors in this place.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

There are a bunch of fake ones, so watch out for them.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

It would be unwise to accept treatment from a doctor without verifying his credentials. [so he knows someone who would do it]

Fifty dollars? You gotta be kidding. Lucky if I get fifteen a day plus expenses.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Yeah, different times are crazy like that. A hobo in 2008 could make $50 a day.

[wontplaythesap.livejournal.com]

[tips back his hat and shakes his head] Ain't that something.

Howsabout I trade you a very fine bottle of bourbon for a medical answer. [starts to roll up a cigarette] Been thinking about calling up a doctor about a case I'm on.

...

Really?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Damn straight. Now pay up or get lost.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

No way, I have got to see this for myself.

[He plops himself down in a chair and if there wasn't a chair before, there certainly is now.]

Besides, who're you expecting actually walk around with 50 bucks in their pocket around here?

[let's see you tackle this girl's issues, House]

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Staring will cost you ten.

[elegantthestars.livejournal.com]

[and just because, have an amused Companion]

Isn't that the faintest bit unprofessional?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Is it unprofessional if the medical board doesn't know I'm doing it?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

That's a waste of munny. I already know what's wrong with me.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Then you don't need a consult and obviously aren't going to pay me. Get lost. You're scaring away my money with your raver hair.

[Kyouya knows his friend too well. Tamaki eagerly approaches]

How generous of you, offering your services to the people here, for a respectable fee of course!

[reaches into his pockets]

Do you accept yen?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

It'll cost you twice the US amount to account for exchange rate. So...that's about nine thousand yen, right?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

If I were to give you something I believe to be valuable in exchange for such services, how exactly would that help you?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Pawn shops.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[eyes him with stern wariness] Do you have a licence for this sort of thing?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

{Motions to the whiteboard}

I didn't write it on there for no reason.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I could get a free consultation at my local GP's if I wanted.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Then get out. This isn't for you, obviously.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

I can give you fifty demons if you want? Though that might be stretching the definition of valuable.

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

I can't pawn demons. No deal.
