Carnaval de la Lumière

I can't say I mind the latest locale. No zombies, no werewolves, no weird house of mirrors popping up. I like it. I'd like home better, but

So, this journal thing really works? Testing, 1 2 3?

Well, as long as the carnival is experiencing some down time, I'm going to explore. If you need me, go through the journals. Until then, I'm seeing the world!

Merry fucking Christmas, and hapy new year!


Henley, Amy, thanks for the. whatsit. the watch. and tequila! you, lovely ladies, are fucking brilliant.


[ooc: Peter's handwriting is a bit sloppier of a scrawl than usual. Yay for Christmas booze!]

[Under the Christmas tree is a bottle of tequila with a red bow tied around the neck of the bottle. A little card tied onto the bottle with ribbon reads "To: Peter Vincent From: Henley Reeves".]

[Also under the tree is a small box of chocolates with a little card attached that reads "To: Steve Rogers From: Henley Reeves, thank you for the walk the other night."]

Men are generally assholes and I'd rather not be thinking of the king of assholes them right now. It's almost Christmas. Why can't I have visions of sugar plums dancing in my head?

Congrats, you get to headline the show solo tonight. I've got something I need to go do. If the bosses go poking around tell them I'm sick or wasted or something. Got my journal if there's an emergency or something. Back later.

Rayne is ultra creepy at night. Agreed? I'm not used to animal sounds every night.

I sort of broke all the mirrors in the trailer. Sorry.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this....topless? Really....this has to be some drunken wine haze mixed with sleeping pills...it has to be.

Anyone a seamstress here? A snap fell off when I was trying on my gear.

Oh, hi, I'm Faith.

I don't suppose anyone might have some half-decent tea available? The... drinks... I've been able to find are truly quite appalling.

You know those lyrics ‘You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone’? I think I’m starting to really get it. Yes, I’m homesick. It’s only been about a month and I’m already homesick. There are obvious things I miss like people, but also minor little comforts that this time just doesn’t seem to have. Giant gas station smoothies, ice cream... There’s a theme of edibility for a lot of the little things I miss. Not that the food here is bad or anything like that. It’s just not caramel swirl from the local frozen custard place. It’s not home. This time of year back where and when I belong I’d be moved into my dorm and I’d probably be homesick there, too. I guess it’s inescapable.

What do you all miss?

And here I was worried that this endeavor might end up being boring. It appears, perhaps, I was wrong (though it pains me to admit). How delightful.

Hello everyone.

My name is Steve Rogers, and I guess I'm your new dog trainer. I just thought I'd leave a note here and say that if there is anything I can do, or anyone who needs help, please just ask. I'm looking forward to meeting each and every one of you.

I'm under the impression that quite a few of us aren't from the time we know or remember, and I just want you all to know that I know what that's like, I know it can be difficult, but the best thing to do in the situation you find yourself in is band together, be strong, and move forward. Winston Churchill once said "If you're going through hell, keep going" and that's the best advice I think anyone could give at a time like this.

Fucking hell, what is this, the fucking zombie apocalypse or something?

Halloween.

Wow. It's only a couple of days away, and really for the first time, I miss home. See, I love Halloween, and all that comes with it. I love the costumes, the pretend, the kids, the candy, seeing sexy versions of occupations on the ladies, and of course Scary Movies. I am sure there will be little of those things around here. I wouldn't mind wearing a costume. I would LOVE candy too. Man, I miss eating Snickers bars. Maybe if I get time, I will try to scare (ha!) up something to make decorations out of, and brighten up the... truck or whatever. Anyone else looking forward to Halloween? I guess I am just a big kid inside. I hope that never changes.

[A new evening gown, in an elegant style that still allows for freedom of movement. There is a short note with it.]

"If it doesn't fit right, or you'd prefer a different colour or something, let me know and we can go exchange it before we leave town. -P.V."

So, I figured I'd ask since yesterday was pretty rough. Did you get out of Empire City unscathed?

There’s something about being chased out of town by an angry mob that makes you a little introspective. I’m sorry if I was a bitch about you winning my money. You were right. You won it fair and square. It’s easier to say this in a note because I’m not sure if you’d listen were I to say it to your face. This is me apologizing and eating humble pie or whatever. Also, I don’t intend to take the trailer away from you. I’ve been a little crazy with greed as of late.
