Nemi Montoya, Lise Myhre's "Nemi" comic

((While Nemi does know an awful lot of fandoms and refer to them from time to time, she is actually of the firm conviction that it’s, in fact, all real, and would never “out” a character as fictional. She is prone to fangirling. Fair warning to muns of attractive males. XD

Feel free to visit Nemi's journal, for shameless canon pimping!))

The sorting room in this place has the densest assortment of the freaks of nature that end up in this school. I figure that's because everyone, well, almost everyone, starts here. But, I don't think I've seen anyone hug the application yet. I stand in the shadows of a column and nibble on my chocolate bar while watching her.

[frioggrusom]

...Draco?

No. Just some other blond guy. With a sort of... badboy style that... was really not bad at all. Also, he had chocolate. Nemi soon found herself standing next to him. Of course, she could try and fake not being interested, but that wasn't one of her strengths at all. She preferred the more direct approach.

So, she tried the Jedi mind trick, and made a sweeping gesture with her hand in front of his face.. "You want to give the nice lady in black that chocolate bar..." she murmured in her most mysterious voice, and her eyes widened to try and hypnotize him into doing what she wanted.

It was clearly worth a try.

[mello_n_choco]

"Fat chance." What, is she insane? I hardly ever share with people I like. "And, hypnotism takes a little more work than that and you still couldn't convince someone to do something that, at some level, they aren't willing to do anyway." I almost refrain myself from rolling my eyes and then just go with it. She aimed for my chocolate after all.

[frioggrusom]

Aw, bummer. Why didn't the Jedi mind trick ever work?

"Don't you want to give me chocolate on any level at all?" sighed Nemi sadly. Damn. Blond guys were usually so easy to talk into things.

Note to self: Look into hypnotism.

[mello_n_choco]

"No. No part of me at all wants to give you chocolate." I think about adding that I hardly share with the person I'm sleeping with, but decide to leave that off. Too many potential questions.

[frioggrusom]

Nemi pouted. "Damn." That summed up the situation pretty sufficiently, she thought.

Okay, it had been worth a shot. Maybe she could persuade someone else to bring her tasty sweet things.

She looked at him for a moment. "...Now what?"

[mello_n_choco]

Could this conversation get any stupider? Probably. "Why did you hug the application?" I'm sure I don't want to know.

[frioggrusom]

Hmff. Nemi looked just as unimpressed with him as he was with her. So he was pretty, but she had no patience for stupid people.

"Because I'm happy to be here," she replied, as if he was an idiot. "Of course. It was an expression of my happiness at being here instead of at home, where I would have needed to go to work tomorrow and spend yet another day being a mindless drone working retail and trying to smile when blonde ditzes that think pink camouflage is the height of fashion desperately need my help to pick out yet another outfit consisting entirely of pastels. You got all that or do you want me to say it again, extra slowly just for you?"

No. Patience. At all.

[mello_n_choco]

I'm not going to laugh. "Pink pastel is so last year. They need to start wearing black leather." I think I manage to say it with a straight face. Just to be sure, I take a bite of chocolate. Really, retail goon and a 'goth,' on top of it. Lord help me.

[frioggrusom]

"Pink pastel isn't any year at all," said Nemi irritably. "I can agree with the black leather, though. It would make my job a tiny bit more fun."

[mello_n_choco]

The answer is simple. "So, get another job." I take another bite of chocolate, really to emphasize she can't have any.

[frioggrusom]

"Yeaaaah... Not that easy when you lack an education for anything. I probably will have another job in a month or so." Nemi shrugged. "That's usually what happens." When she got fired for being two hours late, or enough customers complained about her being unhelpful, or hitting them over the head when they were being stupid. Which, in Nemi's world, people often were.

I raise an eyebrow. "Well, then, I suppose the solution is a little more complicated, then. First, get an education, then get a better job." I smirk, my lips twisting into a nasty grin. "But, then, now that you're at a school, the first part should be easy, even for you."

I wave, tossing the empty chocolate wrapper at her. "See ya never."

"Wow. Never heard that one before. It's almost as if you had a brain." Nemi yawned. "Bye bye, Blondie."

She waved him off, and wondered idly how much magic she would have to learn before she could pull someone's underwear over their head. This guy deserved it.
