Five bucks and a condom. Yours?

My id, two credit cards ~~not mine~~, fifty bucks ~~mine now~~, and two ticket stubs to the roller coaster at Coney Island.

Condoms, stick of gum, id, cash, lipstick, hair comb, something unidentifiable, Captain Breacan’s business card, Amphitrite photograph.

*hands him a slip of paper* And here, now you have my number as well.

*wonders if this Amphitrite is hot*

*Takes paper.* And here, you now have my number. *hands him another piece of paper*

*Wonders along with him. Its been so long since he saw her*

Thanks!

..you ok, man?

Call me any time. *grins*

UGH, don't ask me that! I'll go all emo over it; it'll be a frightening experience for you.

That I will do!

Well, if you're sure, then ok.

6 platinum CCs in my name, one business platinum, a handful of business cards - mostly my attorneys just in case, and about a thousand in assorted bills.

Now that's a good wallet, man.

I happen to like it greatly.

Always make sure you know where it is.

Just saying.

Condoms, ID, MetroCard, some business cards (other people’s), $34.65, photographs (other people’s and my own), coffee card from coffee place I only went to once, a straw wrapper, ticket stubs.

I think I need to clean this thing out.

Any more stuff and I'll have to lend you the Hoover.

Just kidding.

*tries to formulate a joke about ‘sucking power’, fails, forgets about it*

Yeah right, man. I need to put more in it than I need to take out of it. Rent time in my Brooklyn broom closet beckons.

Awh man, you live in Brooklyn? I got a two bedroom there.

Hope you make it.

Someone in Brooklyn has TWO BEDROOMS?!

Eh, I always manage. Just need to get off my ass and, uh…start using it. *laughs*

Yep, that would be me, the rat bastard who snagged it out from a couple ~~whom I was blackmailing~~, who decided at the last minute to go elsewhere.

Ass slinging does have its advantages. You set up all right?

Mmmm, I don't blame them. Brooklyn isn't exactly nirvana, no matter how many bedrooms you have.

Set up?

That was my bad, I assumed you meant you were selling your ass. If you are, I was asking do you have a good client list, that sort of thing.

You know what happens when you assume.

You end up being right.

*eyes him warily* Things are okay. But things could be better, I guess. Could they?

Damn straight.

They can always get better. One thing I know well is making solid client lists.

You’re…in the same line of work?

Mmm. I’ve only managed to get maybe three steady clients since I moved here. Everything else is just out of bars or off the street, which is okay but I recently had an incident. So I don’t know, I’m thinking of joining an escort service or something, but that might cause more problems than it solves.

Yes and no. I'm more on the business end of things. I don't have time to be chasing errant workers. Worst I do is take a minimal percentage for a brief period and cut them loose when they are established. Well that and screw with people who stiff them and not in a good way.

So, you’re like a really nice pimp.

…

You understand that is way too good to be true. What’s the catch?

Are you really asking or are you just quoting the Capital One ads?

I'm really asking because I'm nosy like that.

A little money and my work badge. Nerd Herder on call tonight.

Last time I checked? Money.

And that's a great start. Money trumps everything else,

So I've heard.

So, are you doing some kind of survey on the contents of people's wallets, or is this just a general interest kind of thing?

Eh, I'm just a nosy bastard.

I appreciate the honesty.

So, what've you got in your wallet?
