First Local Bank

[salmoneus.livejournal.com]

It hasn't been busy at the bank, but it's been steady. A slow stream of customers, most with simple requests, have kept Salmoneus too busy to think about his freshly pierced ear. It's slowed down, though, and he now sits at his desk looking at the blue stone. He wonders if he should get some new robes to go with his new adornment, and what Gabrielle would say if she knew.

After leaving Aziraphales Shop

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia noticed the bank was open, she had not seen Mr. Salmoneus since the zombie attack and wondered how he was doing. She walked into the bank and looked around. "Hello Mr. Salmoneus?"

Putting the mirror down, Salmoneus waves at Maia. "Hello! How are you today?"

"I am just fine Mr. Salmoneus. How are you? I've been meaning to check up on you since the zombie attack. As well as wanting to thank you, you were very brave that night."

He didn't remember being brave. All he did was grab a stick.

"Thank you for saying so, but I really didn't do anything. You were the one who led us to Mr. Phale's shop, so I guess I should thank you."

Salmoneus turned his head to show her the piercing. "What do you think? I just got it this morning."

Maia looks at his ear. "I like it." She said grinning "Very macho. And you were brave I mean hell you left the shop with Red. I mean after I got us there I passed out." Maia smiled again "wow I do like your piercing. What made you decide to get it?"

He shrugs. "Don't know, really. Could be the facing Callisto and poking her with a plastic sword. Red suggested it a while back, and I just woke up this morning and decided to do it." Picking up the mirror again Salmoneus looks at himself in it. "I like it."

He looks back at Maia. "And what can I do to help you today?"

"Well I wanted to link my account back home into a checking and savings account here actually."

((OOC: thats fine Maia is subtexting naughty things with Grissom))

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon. I'd like to open an account.

[salmoneus.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely!" Getting up from his desk, Salmoneus moves to the counter. "Would that be business or personal, savings or checking?"

There's a slight paleness to the features of his customer, and he wonders if perhaps the man has been ill. "Would you care for seltzer? It's good for what ails you." He offers him a fresh bottle of Lord Seltzer's Magic Elixir.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"Personal. Checking, please. I'm going to tranfer funds in from a numbered Swiss account that I've had since they've had numbered Swiss accounts from another bank. Will that be acceptable?"

Methos regards the elixir. "Well, I suppose it isn't going to kill me, is it? I'll take one."

[salmoneus.livejournal.com]

At the mention of the transfer, Salmoneus's smile faltered just a little. He hadn't yet gotten the hang of the modern banking. The contuper -- conpute-- thing -- just didn't want to work for him. He'd have to call Hades for another crash course.

Not that he was going to admit that to a customer.

"Not a problem. Personal checking it is. And since I've been alive for a millenia before those banks even opened, I understand exactly what you want." With a quick reach below the desk, the banker handed over the proper forms. "If you would fill these out, and I'll need two forms of identification. How much will you be transferring, Mr...?"

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

"Pierson. Adam Pierson." Methos does a quick mental calculation of how much is in his Swiss Bank Account, and scrawls the amount on the forms. Then he stops and stares at the banker. "You look very familiar. Has your family been in banking awhile?"

[salmoneus.livejournal.com]

"Mr. Pierson, it's nice to meet you. Please call me Salmoneus." He thinks about how to answer the man's question. "I'm the only one in my direct line, but I do have two cousins in the business in Athens. Or did, before one of them tried to cheat a warlord, and he was ended up with a second mouth." Miming a knife across the throat he grimaced. "It wasn't pretty."

After chatting with Aziraphale, Aayla notices that the lights inside the bank were on. She decides to stop in, hoping the banker was there.

[salmoneus.livejournal.com]

Salmoneus had just had a vaguely unsettling discussion over the flone phone with Hades. He was in distress, partly because he'd had trouble arranging the fund transfer for Mr. Pierson, but mostly because he'd had the phone on the wrong side and banged into his new and wonderful, but now very painful, ear piercing.

He looks up at the opening of the door and smiles at the (blue?!) woman, trying to hide the pain.

"Good afternoon! Welcome to the First Local Bank! How can I help you?"

[azurejedi.livejournal.com]

She walks up to the counter and nods politely to the man behind it. "Good afternoon to you, sir. I'd like to get some republic credits exchanged into local currency, please."

[salmoneus.livejournal.com]

"Republic?" This was enought to jar his memory and take his mind off the pain in his ear. "Excuse me, but are you Aayla? You left me a message regarding Old Republic Credits?"

[azurejedi.livejournal.com]

A corner of her lips curls up into a smile, impressed at his memory. "Yes, sir. My appologies for not coming by sooner."

[salmoneus.livejournal.com]

"No problem! I do indeed take Old Republic credits, and the exchange rate, as you can see posted," Salmoneus points to the Rate List on the wall, "is two to one. How much were you looking at exchanging?"

Tossing a small bag from hand to hand, Callisto enters the bank.

[salmoneus.livejournal.com]

Salmoneus looks up and pales.

"Um. Hi." He stands. "Are you here to take your revenge?Can I help you, Callisto?"

Just remember, you faced her before, you can do it again. I just wish Xe-Di- D'anna had left me that plastic sword!

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"I would like to open an account." Callisto replies, rolling the bag around in her hands.

[salmoneus.livejournal.com]

"You're kidding me.Of course. Will this be a savings account or a checking account?" He wonders if this is going to be a trick somehow, and how fast he can get into the vault and to safety.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Savings." She continues playing with the bag, from which faint clinking noises can be heard. "Also, I'm interesed in a some kind of safe deposit box, since I'd prefer to keep some hard currency amongst other thing close to hand."

[salmoneus.livejournal.com]

Beginning to feel like Callisto is being sincere, Salmoneus begins to pull out the forms. "The safety deposit box is $28 for six months and you may not keep body parts in it. You'll need to fill out some paperwork." He lays a pen down next to the forms. "I'll also need to see two forms of identification."
