Reika tried to keep her cool, and hardened her poker face, but someone could tell she was irritated. This was not going as she had hoped. They were not taking her advice seriously. Leo was turning on her, Lucia was distracted, Vincent was angry, and Rachel was unconvinced. Before anyone else could speak, Reika continued in a firm, assertive voice.

[color=6ecff6]"In order for the infestation to be clear, one must start a controlled burn. Even if the roaches are not caught in the flame, they were scurry from their holes and out into the daylight."[/color] She clenched her fists on the table.

[color=6ecff6]"And personally speaking, if we are too start burning down any part of the structure, I prefer we start with the most rotten supports. Perhaps my words are hard to hear, but in my father's day I always found the faquades and double-talk of manners and respect to be a waste of everyone's time, and an insult to everyone's intelligence. We all have much to gain from this vacuum, I'm just the only one being honest about it. I want Alice gone because I find her insufferable. It also helps to smoke out this traitor."[/color] 

[color=6ecff6]"Two birds, one stone."[/color] She said smugly, switching to English. Leaning back in her chair, her lengthy monologue coming to an end, she eyed Vincent. She subtly flattened her palm at him, signalling for him to cool it. Reika preferred to not have him caught up in her game of politics. If the others hated her, so be it, but Vincent? He represents what the Crogiolo syndicate used to represent. Honor, loyalty, and community. Something the others didn't seem to get. The woman in blue's eye twitched, and she took another sip of her tea.
