Cirque Nocturne: In-Character

I know this comment is rather off brand for me, but I hate these roses. I'm giving them a wide berth and trying to otherwise completely ignore them. They shouldn't be here and they know it. Before I decided to try ignoring them, I thought I'd try magic on them. Did not work, did nothing but give me a very gross feeling inside. (So I went shopping to make myself feel better and bought another new dress. I need more places to wear nice things.)

The flower of the week is not roses, despite their presence. My flower of the week is a variation on Camellia japonica (The Eighteen Scholars) which you'll soon see blooming in my act if you come watch. They usually only bloom in the humidity of Taiwan, but everyone knows growing conditions are not a problem for my flowers.

There's supposed to be a storm coming on Thursday and I am very much looking forward to getting out in that. It's been so dry recently.
