((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

But Mello didn't think much of most people. Near couldn't really fault him for it; he just tended to be less aggressive about it.
He surveyed the application and the applicant thoughtfully.
"Is that your natural complexion, or is it makeup?

"I'm pretty good at doing people's hair," she said after a moment's pause. "I'm good with kids... I guess that should count. But, as a party trick, the rapid drinking works like a charm."

"So what counts as notable, in your world?" she asked, with only a hint of irritation creeping into her voice. "I might not be a genius or anything, but my skills have been enough for me so far. This is a school, isn't it? I could get more skills." Now she would finally study something that she was interested in, instead of Maths and Physics and stuff. She suspected that would make all the difference.

"What did you say to annoy Mello?"

There was a second of sullen silence. "Who's Mello?"

A raised eyebrow.
"Mello. Black leather, blond, fond of chocolate, rather temperamental. I saw him leaving. How did you irritate him?"

Nemi smirked. "Oh, that guy. No biggie. Tried to take his chocolate and answered his questions honestly, so he insulted me and called me a Squib. It was fun. Friend of yours?"

"If you tried to take his chocolate, you're lucky that's all he did. And you could say he is a friend of mine, yes."
One more shot... "What do you think I should know about you, then?"

Oh, who cared about Blondie and his sugar cravings... Nemi had better things to think about.
"Like, let's see..." she pondered. "I believe that cookies you eat when no one is watching doesn't contain any calories. I plan on becoming a dictator when I grow up. I can't build things from Ikea. I think babies are pointless creatures that are made even more pointless when their parents try to make me hold them. Sometimes I dress up as a blonde so that I can order a mug of the best hot chocolate in town without the old crone behind the counter calling the cops. I become a bit of a klepto when I'm drunk, and the reason I don't want to go outside before dark is so my aura doesn't have to blend with fanatical joggers and old ladies wearing fur. There. Those are all important stuff to know about me. Now you can judge, if you want."

"Thank you ever so for that assessment," she replied dryly. "Have a nice day, now."
