DESCRIPTION: Sometimes Reira takes a minute to answer, since she sometimes knocks the volume dial too far, and anyone shouting through it hurts her ears.

✉MAIL BOX LOCATION: Mailbox on Door
DESCRIPTION: It's a rather simple mailbox that was already built into the trailer. Reira checks it every day! (since you're supposed to, apparently)

Yeah... ...Tyki bought me a lot of them, he said, I had to pick seven, but then he got me the Star Bunny when he was buying candy.... [She blinks, apparently confused by it all.] ...He told me I had to pick lots of things...it was hard...

[It's a bit weird that it was hard for a kid to pick 'lots' of candies, but anyway. The child jumps initially when Eruka uses her name- she...didn't expect that after all! But then again, if she knew to come to the trailer....well.

This makes sense.] Ummmm...

[She starts counting in her head, closing her eyes.] ...Over...Four months? [The time sure flies. She thinks that's right, at any rate though.] ....I hope I pick a birthday before it's a whole year... [She mutters, apparently just now realizing that the entire point will be lost if she waits that long.]

[ What kind of weird guy buys a ton of toys for a kid he isn’t even related to all at once? At least doing it one a time makes sense! Then again, the Carnival has a weird way of bringing people together. Eruka certainly knows that much by now... ]

So you’re already a third done with your contract... [ She muses, pinching a stuffed toy absently. ] How’d you end up in a place like this?

[ Tricked, is her guess, or ... some really shallow wish? Would a child this young, who apparently doesn’t even remember her own birthday, understand the weight of a faerie contract? ]

[soft_focus]

Umnnn.... [She has to think about that for a couple of seconds- largely because of how many incredible ways she's been told to not answer this question.

It's become something of a skill, finding a way to answer without breaking those multiple promises in any way.] ...The Ringmaster saved me for someone else's contract....but...

[Here's the tricky bit. Hmm.] ....Since I wasn't where I was before, it meant something really bad would happen... ...so even though it wasn't something she thought needed to be changed, I asked her to change that.

[PERFECT. She's actually proud of herself!]

[amphibiopathic]

[ Ah, yes. The inevitable headache of the Carnival’s timelines. ]

So you asked not to be saved? [ Eruka asks, slowly. ] I didn’t know you could mess with someone else’s wish like that.

[ Actually, that makes her pretty nervous. Gulp. ]

[soft_focus]

Mn-nn. That couldn't be changed, she already saved me.

I just asked her to fix what happened because of me being saved. [Like that, yeah.]

[amphibiopathic]

Well... [ Eruka mulls that over. ] Then, it's good for you that worked out?

[ She's just not going to ask for the details, she decides. Maybe sometimes ignorance is bliss, after all... ]

[soft_focus]

Um-! Yeah! [She beams, nodding. Anyway there's better things to talk about, like....well...]

So...why did you come? We're not supposed to have shows anymore, so I know it can't be that kind of stuff...

[amphibiopathic]

That's what I heard ... [ Eruka really has a sense of timing, doesn't she? But now that she's here anyway... ]

I had a wish I wanted the Ringmaster to grant, that's all. [ If she'd known all the particulars of the situation, would she have accepted? But... ] A-anyway ... it's better for me to be here than back home, for now.

[soft_focus]

Mn! Probably, [Reira agrees.] ...Everyone talks about how dangerous things get, but it seems a lot safer than anywhere else...

[That's her thoughts and she's sticking to 'm. Anyway.] Ummm...

...Do you have lots of things to put away? [She awkwardly continues, shifting her feet.]
