"Yeah - if someone is buying it as a collectors item it might matter whether it's the first one of something you've given out?"

"Yeah, that makes sense. I'll see if the leaf guy is willing to pay in advance, I have no problem sticking a leaf in the mail for him if so." Typety type.

Sure - can leaf guy get a letter of authenticity with the date signed by her along with the leaf?

...sure. Would he like it notarized while she's at it.

Sounds great.

She was kind of joking but sure. She'll write up the letter in advance and ask Lucien where to find a notary, he seems like he'd know.

"I can't tell whether to feel offended or seen."

"Well, seen if you do know where to find a notary and optionally offended if you don't, surely."

"I only know how to find a notary because I helped Lia setup her merch store. For fun. And also my mom found one for a joke a while back."

"A notarized joke?"

"I was very stressed about getting my schedule for my dungeon work as perfect as possible and was overdoing it and my parents helped get me to calm down and then on my first day of work presented me with a notarized copy of the schedule."

"That's cute."

"Mm."

"Sorry if I offended you by thinking you'd know where a notary was for the wrong reasons or something."

"Oh, no, it's fine."

"Why did you think he knew where a notary was? Aside from everything about him."

"Oh, there wasn't anything else, it was just everything about him."

"Gotcha."

How far can she get in setting up a bank account from here, does she have to physically go to a bank - will this be easier once she's registered as an "esper" -

She does have to visit a bank and esper registration should come first but Lucien is happy to help her figure out how to do all these steps, it's honestly pretty fun.

"You're very helpful, thank you." Fortunately her name isn't taken in this universe. Lorica has a bank account sufficient to receive a 10k wire soon enough.

"No problem, figuring out identification dependencies was neat and worked out better than I expected. I made a flow chart about it."

"Can I see?"

She can! Here it is on his tablet. He is all excited about it and spent a while on the format to get it to accurately communicate how you can go about getting new ID based on other ID and accounts and such.
