[The little vampire seems to be in a particularly foul mood this day. Who better to take it out on than random strangers who have no reason to care about her or her whims? ]

This world can be a rather difficult one for one unaccustomed to the concept of 'affection'.

[She says it like its a foreign concept to her entirely.]

I understand it, of course. I have not lived as long as I have without learning of a concept so commonplace. It, however, has never been a part of my life. And now, because of this, a lady such as myself lives like some sort of commoner in this world. I cannot say I approve of this at all. Remilia Scarlet should not be forced to live in an APARTMENT. It is like a cruel joke.

[Or perhaps she merely overestimates her own worth. Getting her to admit that would be very much an impossibility, though.]

I have been here for some time and never thought to ask. Is there really no better way? Must I go around letting others invade my personal space merely to acquire the wealth I am used to? How frustrating.

[Why is she complaining about it now? Everyone has to let off a little steam now and then.]

You could also get a job.

[ Says the faintly scruffy looking man who seems to be broadcasting his response from a workshop. ]

But something tells me that any sort of actual labor would be beneath a lady of your stature?

[ He smiles, but it's quite pointed and full of judgement. ]

[remilia_scarlet]

I am not afraid of work.

[Her eyes narrow, and her arms cross over her modest chest.]

As I stated, I will not allow another to dictate what I do with my time. To be beholden to the whims of someone lesser is something I will not tolerate. If I can find a task where I can work on my own schedule, perhaps it would be tolerable.

[The judgemental look, of course, did not pass her by. It is the sort of expression her own face would wear fairly frequently, after all. But she seems content to not bring it up, at least for the moment.]

[ambitionburns]

Ah. Self-employment seems to be your best bet, then.

[ His expression... softens somewhat, but he still gives off the air of someone too smugly full of himself.]

It is a pain in the arse to have to march to the whims of someone with no proper grasp of what you excel at.

[ He then gives his head a curious tilt. ]

What would you say you excel at?

[remilia_scarlet]

It has, in all honesty, been many decades since I even had to give that any thought. In my home world, I had long since paid my dues, crawled my way to the top and was able to live in the lap of luxury.

[She does not seem overly bothered by the air Nero gives off. If anything, the confidence makes it easier for her to take him seriously.]

Many of the talents I used to reach the top are of little use here. There is little call for subterfuge in a city where people are so garishly open about everything. It would be much easier if could simply conquer it, but I promised someone I would not try.

[Also, she'd certainly fail. But mostly the promise.]

[ambitionburns]

[ The talk of 'decades' has his eyebrows give a noticeable lift. She doesn't look like the sort to have been around that long... so that implies certain things about what she might actually be. He ought to be cautious. ]

Subterfuge, eh? I've heard tell there's interesting work to be had down on the third and fourth levels, if you know where to ask about...

[ Talk of conquering sets him to laughing, though. ]

Trying to conquer the place would cut into your leisure time, I imagine. I can't say it would be worth the bother.

[remilia_scarlet]

[If her camera was panned back a little further, her inhuman nature would be more obvious, but with it focused on her face, the only hint may be the occasional flash of fangs when her mouth was open.]

Ah. I do not often venture that far down. And I do not know where to ask. I imagine I could find out if I truly cared to.

[She does sound mildly interested, the annoyance in her voice earlier seems to have faded.]

Yes, the problem with conquest is people will always try and overthrow you. I have always found it more useful to have willing subjects. Still, the last time I tried it, it served as an amusing distraction at least. But you are not incorrect, it probably would not be worth my time.
