Well if you're looking to earn more chips here and there, maybe I'll consider it. I'm saving up some of my money for this concert idea I had in mind, we're actually going to have clean and safe food provided by Topaz and her team.

( once the taquito was swooped off the plate, reira took the other one and began to nibble away at it with a rather happy expression on her face. despite feeling under the weather, she seemed genuinely happy and at peace.

it seemed the dangerous wolf, who scolded her for telling her that she could relax around her, was now leaving reira feeling comfortable enough to do that. in fact enough to outright invite her to this event— )

Will you consider coming to the mini concert? I'm hoping to have everything ready by the time the batch of new arrivals comes to the resort. Hiyori-kun and I suspect it'll be sometime in September.

( she'd been working on this for a long time— people who agreed to help her had been working away as well, but she'd been recruiting new people as some of them ended up vanishing by the time she had it all organized. it seemed time wasn't on her side but she seemed eager to push through with this idea. )

We wanted to offer new arrivals who might be scared and worried something nice to enjoy...free of worries regarding the resort and all...

(her half-hearted scolding aside, she did notice reira was more relaxed. at ease. texas has always been that way, with not wanting to admit things to herself. stubborn, trying to take everything on alone while reminding herself that it's better she did. another contradiction, but she always cared more than she let on. the words weren't scathing, but almost sad about something she accepted at that moment where they were more focused on pleasure than rational thinking. mixed with alcohol and other things while she chomps into her own taquito.

she might never think herself deserving of it. anything good would always fade away from her hands. it's always taken, or it always feels too good to be true. she can long for something sweet and gentle, but she finds herself undeserving of anything near it after the years of blood spilled under dirty water and unclean rain on the streets of the old country.

her half-hearted words were only something she ignored in the end. she's here, and she's only reminding herself that it's another contradiction in her life. the wolf recognizes that name, hiyori? topaz was new, but hiyori....she knew him, she knew his boyfriend, jun, too.)

I can do that. Jun might ask me to because of Hiyori, too.

(she was why they had those matching necklaces, when she went around finding gifts for everyone over the holiday's. a sun and moon pair, something sweet for their romance. weiss even at the time was given a bottle necklace made up of snowflakes within it.

maybe this year she might go around delivering more gifts, who knows. it'll depend on what happens, if she keeps losing people she cared about or not. regardless, reira seemed like she had her heart in this event. it wouldn't be as nice if texas didn't also give her all for the sake of a safer time at the concert.)

I won't tell them anything unless they ask me, at least so they don't have to be distressed until after for any new arrivals.

Ah you know Jun? I haven't met him yet but Hiyori-kun raves quite a bit about him! I'm so happy that the people I like...well like each other!

( it's a bit silly for her to compartmentalize her relationships like this, but when she mentioned one name to someone she knew and liked, their responses were always positive. surely that meant she had a good choice in picking confidants right? well she could only hope that was true because truthfully she was also the kind of woman who was deathly afraid of people leaving her.

so while texas beat her to the punch, if she hadn't offered such kindness to her, reira was sure she'd find a way to keep her coming back. especially after such a magnetizing encounter together. )

Ah well it's alright. I'm sure word is getting around anyways given I've been recruiting quite a bit of people to help out. Nami-chan told me a good 'hack' to get the staff to organize the stage and space for us, so we're good there. I also finally managed to get a small entourage from the staff, so I'll order them around for the menial stuff.

( she almost seemed to sparkle at those words— surprisingly she'd been a terrible queen. not using her advantage and privilege to the fullest until others showed her to do it. )

[swordpour]

I do, yes. He was one of the first people I met with a few others when I arrived.

(hilda, ragna, weiss, shouko....she could remember their names clearly. not to mention reed who was from her own world, they all left. never to be seen again as the resort took them far away. turning them to marble statues, she still didn't know where hilda, ragna, and weiss were last at. she didn't even know yet where lappland's could be, but she hadn't been looking too hard for now. texas thinks it's better to ask later if she really gets agitated attempting to find them by herself.

but she's getting ahead of herself, this kindness she displayed was her own decision. giving her something while expecting little else in return. the reminders might never fade of that cutesy songstress she once knew, how she only wanted what was best for the wolf and gave her some manner of peace. the only difference is, reira isn't sora. the two of them are not the same in how they act and do things. it still didn't stop her from this soft spot, not even her own curiosity.)

Be careful, then. Sometimes they can get overzealous, with or without being ordered around. I've seen it a bit with someone I used to know who was a queen rank.

(poor weiss. though they both spoke little about their pasts, texas felt comfortable with her. the same way she did with ragna. just enough to inch toward the truth, but a pity how that went, with them leaving as she was on the cusp of admitting she hadn't told them the full story about herself.

never mind that she's choosing to ignore that her tone isn't as sharp or as distant as she would normally be. aak might ask again if she's fine, since she rarely speaks candidly like this.)

going to wrap this up here ♥

[dilettante]

It's been quite some time since then huh?

( she leaned back in her seat as she polished off the last bits of her food before taking a napkin to wipe away at her hands. reira almost sounded wistful with her tone of voice— really she hadn't been here that long and yet she could sense how heavy those words were. she could only imagine how many people have come and gone in texas' life in the past year but she couldn't quite bring herself to ask.

things were fine like this, resting peacefully and having small conversation over her little project and the little things about this resort. it almost made reira wonder— when did things become so normal? when did she stop waking up the next day thinking she was in her world and just accepting she was waking up in her suite?

it almost made her feel guilty that she'd become to comfortable living here, but even then there was always something new to learn and discover such as that little warning about the staff. they'd mostly praised and fawn over her, sexualizing her a bit when she ran out in the sexy costumes she was given. it made sense, she'll make a note to be careful.

for now though she scooped up the chips and some of the salsa texas prepared, munching away at it before smiling at the other. )

I'll make sure to be careful about that. I haven't really asked them for too much but I am hoping they don't do anything too troublesome to ruin the concert. I suppose we'll see when the day comes....

For now though—

( she chewed on some more of the chips before making a soft moaning sound. )

Your salsa is incredible ah~! I really should get your recipe sometime.
