Cirque Nocturne: Messages

Balls! In Vienna! Christmas markets! Ice skating! Time to break out all of my cute winter clothes and play tourist. Someone whose German is better than mine, do you want to tag along? Mine's conversational, at best. Issac, can I talk you into being my date for one of these shindigs? And possibly help me carry back all the shiny things I will inevitably buy?

This may not be necessary, but just so I don't get tossed out for being a trespasser during employee only hours, this is Fox. I look like a dude. This dude, specifically. It’s only for the next 24. I've been working on changing my normal shape but it's been difficult and clunky today, and I'd rather not be running around as tiny me, unable to talk to anyone. So for now, I'm this. Very big, sort of lumbery, lots of red hair, kinda of frowny. Please don't give me the boot. TYVM.

Nice location! If I was in better mood I would be even happier about it and the idea of new experiences. Right now I am only interested in going to Spanish Riding School. They have it here. All the best Lippizaner stallions! They do fancy dancing of their own. It is like a horsey ball.

Ah, the New Moon and the Old World – the very best combination for building long-working spells. And for making new friends. If anyone would like to visit a couple of the Vienna Covens with me, feel free... although they're not especially fond of mortals in my experience.

Dear Many Red Riding Billy Goat Gruffs,

I want to take all of you to the balls. So, everyone pick one and I will escort you like the princesses you are... though I'm more of a pauper so... let's just make a splash at these haughty things, yeah?!

Mother's Milk Ball? Yes/Yes?

Can I claim your arm for the Confectioner's Ball?

I keep hearing talk of Balls.... what are they?

Vienna looks beautiful, from what I can see. I'm still not really sure about venturing out on my own. But hey, I haven't killed anyone at the restaurant yet, so that's a plus?

Okay, so I'm seeing a bit of consternation and confusion when it comes to how to pay for the clothing one is supposed to wear to all these balls. I realize that we don't necessarily make money that enables us to expend thousands of dollars for just one outfit. But I also realize that I come from a more... privileged stand point than most of those here and that a combination of my "own" money, alongside a healthy portion I've divested from my father's accounts, could certainly help those here in achieving their ball gown dreams.

But this isn't a charity. I've grown somewhat accustomed to the trading/bartering economy. So come at me with your trades, whether it be for something mundane like art for my trailer or something a bit more arcane.
