Cirque Nocturne: Messages

Good morning, everyone. This is a little strange, how to begin. I'm Sirikit. I live with the Wishing Tree. I've been around for a long time, I'm just not very good at socializing. I'm learning. Hello though!

Things have been off this morning. With the tower's long term residents, I mean. The shadow that Marlow saw by the tree came back yesterday. The other spirits ... they're very busy. I don't know what that means, but I'd beg you all to please be cautious. Something has changed. I don't like it at all All the best to each of you.

Most sincerely,
Sirikit

The shadow Marlow mentioned three days ago reappeared by the tree yesterday while I was refreshing the silks. It just stared for a while. I tried to speak with it. It didn't respond. It felt dark and hungry, not at all friendly. I thought I got a good look at it, but I can't remember it now.

The best part about Halloween is getting to combine spooky things with downright adorable things. I've been keeping most of the small edibles light and friendly to even the smallest visitors to the cottage.
