-Setsurayuki-

I sprang through the double doors of the large building, exhausting "Sorry I'm late!" through my lips; my long black hair fell in front of my eyes. It was only ten minutes, but it was important to arrive precisely on time at 'Club Majesty', it was the largest casino in the country and the most popular in the world after all, all staff must be punctual. Standing 40 stories high, not only did it provide entertainment, but also provided as a hotel for those rich enough to afford it. It's entrance was structured with marble which opened into a wide, white polished reception room and allowed all of its guests to gaze up into an open canopy of cherry blossoms, its rosy coloured petals spiraled into and around the white knighted fountain that stood in its centre. I could see my reflection upon the marble: My long black hair which fell down to my waist and around my Club Majesty uniform. My long-sleeved white shirt which sat under the black blouse and skirt, as well as the smooth ribbon tied around my neck, which looked a little scruffy due to my late arrival. I do not have a high position within the faculty, therefore my neck ribbon was yellow, it wasn't a nice yellow either; like mustard. But of course, different positions had different coloured ribbons or ties:

Maids and Butlers wore blue.

Cleaners wore green.

Receptionists and room service wore yellow.

Performers wore orange.

Assistant mangers wore purple.

Managers wore red.

I stared down at the black shiny kickers I was wearing, examining them for any dirt, my eyes then trailed up the long socks which stopped above my knees, one of them had fallen however. My hands flustered around the rim and I eventually pulled it back up to it's place.

"Setsu... You're late." Announced a tall young boy who emerged from behind the front desk, sweeping his orange tinted hair from his face; he sighed at my own late arrival. "Yeah, yeah, it's good to see you too, Touyu, thanks for taking my shift on desk whilst I was gone." I said, still trying to catch my breath. "Ah, no problem. " He replied, "Just make sure you leave earlier tomorrow." With this, his hand reached up and flicked my forehead.

"Oi!" I whined and rubbed it, a frown immediately falling onto my face; I then hit his arm softly in retaliation. "I'll punch you next time, this is why you don't have a girlfriend." I snapped, placing a hand upon my swaying hips. A slight smirk appeared on his face before vanishing a second later, his demeanour returning to normal. Touyu turned his head to the side and uttered. "Please don't tell me you believe in those pathetically made up notions of love and feelings and whatnot. Out of everything in this universe, the only thing that'd never betray you is money, right?"

Silence hit the large room, Touyu had a tendency to say things deep and cold.. And awkward. How was I supposed to reply to that? This gave me a chance to study him.

He was wearing his usual black waistcoat and red bow-tie, he was the manager of the hotel and dealt with the buildings advertising. His bow-tie matched his fiery eyes perfectly. Although his hair was always slightly scruffy and fell in front of his left eye, but it was usual for Touyu and it didn't seem to effect his work, as he was always busy doing something and never seemed to mess up. Touyu was the quiet, cool type, for most of the time anyway. He was very caring towards me and sometimes got a little over protective.

"Tie your hair back, Setsu." He mumbled, turning away from me to begin walking towards where his current shift should be. "Oh, right, yeah." I quickly grabbed my hairband from my wrist and tied the charcoal hair into a high ponytail. Swiveling on my heels, I took my place behind the front desk and leaned my head in my hand. "Cash is our best friend.." I sighed, rehearsing the buildings unforgettable, cheesy slogan.

My name is Setsurayuki and I work in the biggest, busiest casino in the world. Yet, I can't remember anything before working here, all I remember is my name and being presented to this place with a job role, I was introduced to Touyu who was kind enough to show me around and I immediately got started, for some reason, I had no instinct to ask questions about how or why I got here. It's been five years since then. I cannot look for my past, but right now, I'm content and a little scared about finding out. Club Majesty is much more than a casino, to those who know. It's a place filled with lies and hate; for those who want to act upon conceited wishes. A place where any wish was possible, no matter how drastic, this wasn't just a hotel, it's for those who are desperate enough to turn to us when they want something done in secret. We would deal with the matter. We are not like the others. We were compared to demons and more or less worshiped. The Casino and hotel were only a facade over what really happens here. Dealerships, adultery, even murder sometimes, it was our job to cover it up, act like it never happened. Of course, the hotel wouldn't get any attention and would probably be shut down if the entire world knew it's truths. It seemed everyone here had a certain role, every member of staff was special, deals would somehow go unnoticed, but of course, we knew why. Although we have normal customers too, only those desperate enough to want something can see the signs that'll have them make a deal here.

"Setsu, can you stop daydreaming?" Touyu's voice echoed against the cold marble walls. I was snapped away from my thoughts and was presented with Touyu tilting his head, sending a glare in my direction.

"Ah, sorry Touyu." I mouthed and waved my hand in his direction, brushing off his remark.

A deep sigh escaped my lips, here began another shift in this building, the story would soon unfold. It won't be long now until another petty customer enters through those doors.
