Money, money [Ted]
George never saw a check with so many zeroes on it in her life. Twenty-thousand dollars. Up front. It occurred belatedly to George that she was in a vampire's pocket now and that it might be a very dangerous place to be.

Then again, Karen couldn't have been so bad?

It was the new wardrobe that worried the reaper most. She secretly looked forward to the clothing itself, but if it required a shopping spree and trying clothes on for an audience, that was the torture George wasn't looking forward to.

Until their first meeting, George needed to figure out how to get all those pretty numbers from a useless piece of paper and onto a bank account. With her name on it. Quite a challenge for someone who was dead. What kind of place could you go to and arrange something like that. She subconsciously patted her pocket to make sure the check was still there.

"Fuck fuck fuc--"

BLAM. George turned a corner and walked squarely into someone. He was taller, and a little soft in the middle so at least it didn't hurt too badly. George took a half step back to get a closer look at him. He looked older and friendly, like someone's reassuring Dad. Maybe he would know where to go with a check almost useless to her.

"...Sorry. Uh, you look kinda like you know stuff?" (What she meant to say was old, but she didn't want to offend him so soon. Still, with the way she said stuff her meaning wasn't exactly mysterious.) "Where would someone go if they needed help with money stuff? Like not a bank but maybe accounting stuff?"

Ted still hadn't figured out where he was or what he was doing here. Or what to do with himself, really. Nobody seemed to care about what he was wearing, and he didn't have any money on him to go into one of the shops that he'd passed to do anything about it anyway.

Wandering around had become his new pass time.

That was, until the girl ran face first into him. She started to babble at him almost immediately and he had to take a moment to process what she'd said.

"That's a really weird thing to ask a stranger." Ted thought about it. Maybe it was because he'd spent so much time around criminal elements, but he thought that talking to somebody random about money was a good way to get it stolen.

But he seemed to be just the person she was looking for. "You could look for an accountant." Ted paused. "Or, you know, me."

	"I could look for a guy in a prison uniform? Like in Shawshank Redemption?" George was confused. "I don't know. The City is just kind of weird. It sorta just tends to make the roads shift until you find what you're looking for. I ran into you, so I asked." The reaper shrugged. "Are you new or something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"The uniforms in Shawshank Redemption were blue." Ted said a bit thoughtfully, still pretty confused about things. She was a very blunt girl, and she'd also just said something that had snagged in his brain, but he had to think about it for a second.

"I guess I am. New." Ted looked at her carefully. "You say 'the city' as if it's got upper case letters in it. Is that the name of this place, or some endearing nickname?"

It was all too much. But he had to wonder what Charlie would say about a place like this. People like her.

"So I guess I'm not having a stroke then."

	"Swearing can be an apt response for a surprising number of situations." George took a sip from her paper cup of tea before she realized the reply sounded vaguely prostitute-y again. As a defense mechanism her face went blank. (Reply to this) (Parent)
