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.

[wontplaythesap.livejournal.com]

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

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

...

Really?

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

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

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

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

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

Damn straight. Now pay up or get lost.

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

[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?

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

Staring will cost you ten.

[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?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

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

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[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]

How about anyone that's rich? There are a few people I'd peg as having it. Besides, it's not like they can't go home and grab fifty bucks. I mean, this is a huge discount.

[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.

[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?

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

[Roooolls his eyes.]

Come on, do you really expect any 16-year-old to have $50? And if you're only asking the rich, that's kinda a limited amount of patients.

[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]

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

People will still do it. That's pretty much why the black market exists. Or, the medical part of it, anyways.

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

You don't count, obviously. Like I'd expect a kid to be able to fork over that kind of money without stealing from their parents.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Oh. Would've helped if the sign said that.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Ouch. What a grumpy old man. If I don't get off your lawn, are you gonna beat me to death with that cane?

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

Ran out of room. I figured the medical license part is more important.

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

Damn straight I will.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[narrows her eyes] I hardly think so.
