[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis touched down outside the front entrance to Thoncir General Hospital. He then set Viviana down carefully, and walked inside.[/glow]
"Hello, is there something you'd like help with?" the receptionist asked.
[glow=orange,1,600]"Yes, we think my wife may be pregnant. We'd like to see an ultrasound technician, please."[/glow]
The receptionist looked at Visignis, slightly surprised. "Sir, even if the ultrasound technician were still here, you'd need to make an appointment."
[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis shrugged. "Okay," he said, smiling at the technician. "What's an ultrasound cost, usually? 200 coins, 250 maybe?" He turned to look at Viviana, and smiled. "Yeah, let's call it 250," he said.
He then turned back to the recpetionist, and pulled a sack of coins from his pocket. He placed 5 1,000-coin pieces on the counter. "That should cover ours, plus reimburse all the people ahead of us on the appointment list, in exchange for allowing us to go before them, of course."[/glow]
The receptionist could only stare in mild shock at Visignis' gesture. She immediately picked up a phone and frantically punched a few numbers. "Hey, Fred? It's Gina. Hey, Toshi already left, right?" A short pause. "Well some tall guy just dropped 5,000 coins on the table to get his wife an ultrasound tonight." Another pause. "Yeah, that's what I thought. So you wanna call him, tell him to get here right away? Okay, thanks Fred, you're a dear. Bye."
Gina then took one of the pieces before her. "There's a technician on the way," she told Visignis. "Now I'm gonna charge you the going rate - which is 220 coins, by the way - for the ultrasound. As far as your...generous tip," Gina continued, "the technician is also an expectant father. If you give the difference to him instead of the hospital," Gina said as she gave Visignis his change, "we can have you out of here in an hour."
[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis smiled as he took the remaining coins. He then flipped a 100-coin piece to Gina. "That's your finder's fee," he told her. "Before you try to give it back, split it with your friend Fred if you think it's too rich."
He then took a seat, and held Viviana's hand as he waited.[/glow]
