*sighs and looks over the papers* All right, first things first, what's your real name? First and last.:

*looks at him, shifting Mellie in his lap* I know that you meant first and last. *sighs some and looks at Mellie* Nathan McDoyal. And this is Mellie, as you know. *looks up at him a moment*

*scribbles it down on the paper* Next.. um, do you have a nickname? And if you do, how'd you get it?:

*leans up a bit, watching him a little* Yeah, I do. Smudge. *rolls his eyes slightly and smiles a bit* I tend to get dirty a little. I don't mean to. Just happens. *shrugs* But I clean up. I'm not a dirty guy.

*nods a bit* When's your birthday and how old are you and all?:

It's July 28th. Turned eighteen last time it rolled by. *quickly* A responsible eighteen year old. *does not want him to think he is not responsible with Mellie*

*smirks a little* Next is looks so.. tell me what you look like, all right? *rolls his eyes* Humor me...:

*stops himself from saying something* *runs a hand through his hair* *rubs the young child's back as she starts fussing* Brown hair, kind of dark. *shrugs* Greenish eyes you could say. I think I'm around 5'9. Haven't measured myself.. *trails off a little, thinking some* Strong, of course.. *nods a little, lying* *looks at Mellie a moment*

Hmm.. *writes down some of that then looks back up* What kind of person are you? What's your personality like and all that?:

I think I'm a nice person. *looks at him* As long as you treat me and the person I love the same. *leans back in the chair a little* I'm responsible. I care a lot about my friends. I'm just myself. *shrugs* *use to lie a lot more to make himself look good, but doesn't feel the need to since he's with Charity* Don't talk bad about anyone, well, try not to anyway. Sometimes I can't help it. Some of us are the same way. *looks at him a moment* But overall I'm a great wonderful guy. *smiles*

*raises an eyebrow then grins* If you say so. *teasing, of course* Okay, so do you have any friends around here?:

Of course I do. *laughs slightly* Mellie here. *bounces Mellie lightly in his lap* Charity's my friend. *smiles at the thought of her* And Tiptoe helps me out a lot, so I'd consider her a friend. Frog...Frog's another story. When he isn't out pulling pranks, he's a great guy. All the girls are nice for the most part. Rabble... *laughs a bit* She's...Well no words can describe her.

*nods some and taps the pen on the paper* And, uh, you got anyone special in your life right now? *grins* You know what I mean.:

*grins* In fact I do. Charity Adams. *sits back and thinks* She's wonderful. My life. I love her more than anything ever. We're getting married one day. *grins slightly at that* *asked her to marry him on Valentine's Day of 1905* *smiles* *would do anything for her* *forgives her easily*

So, you got any family? *scratches his head with the end of the pen* Mother, father.. sisters or brothers? Anything like that?:

Of course. My mother. *nods some* *doesn't consider his stepfather apart of his family* No brothers or sisters. I wish though. *smiles a bit* And I suppose Mellie's part of my family. *is trying to get custody of her*

*sighs, looking at the next question* Now you don't gotta say, but it'd be nice if you at least gave me something to write down... how'd you come to live at this fine place? *small smile*:

I needed a place to stay. I had been living in the basement of this store and in parks after leaving my house. *shrugs a little* I saw this place and thought I'd give it a try. *smiles* I love it here and I'm glad I found it.

*nods and scans over the application* I think that's it... anything else you wanna add?:

*is glad it's over, but says nothing about it* *smiles* Just...don't say things about Charity or Mellie and we'll be fine. *shrugs and glances at Mellie* *sighs a little* Excuse me.. *gets up and walks out*
