Cirque Nocturne: Messages

I'm sure I looked very silly dragging a wagon of liquor and books through the streets of Moscow, but it was for a good cause. As much as I enjoyed the liquor that refilled itself during lockup, I bought several cases of Khortytsya vodka. And to celebrate my first successful appearance in the Freakshow, I will be bundled up outside my trailer tonight, sharing my precious vodka with whomever happens to stop by.

( Letter. )

Has anyone gone exploring yet? Is anyone planning to? Moscow seems like a really cool place to look around but I don't wanna do it by myself. I need distractions

[Private to Rose]
Hi. I've been told you're the one to call on for sickness and injury. Do you have anything normal for humans to ease pain?

The fact that the alcohol keeps refilling itself no matter how much I drink is a mark in favour of this place, though I am going somewhat stir-crazy, locked up in here. I've read the books I brought with me and have turned to the internet to entertain myself (kudos to whoever manages the wifi situation here, I can imagine that it can be difficult to set up a decent network, given that we seem to move around by magical means). And while there are technically no limits as to how deep one can go into a Wikipedia black hole, I'm starting to get antsy.

Still, it was probably a good idea to choose to lock myself in right after arrival, lest I become someone's bite-sized snack.

I should introduce myself: I'm Oliver Brown and I'm a chagrined new addition to the Freakshow. I suppose I'm the answer to the age-old annoyance of not being able to reach the remote when you want to change channels, because I can stretch very, very far in any given direction. I'm also very good with numbers and money, so, hey, if any of you pay taxes, come to me to get your returns done.

If anyone has any children's size winter clothes (or comes across any during your hunt and can separate them from their owners before they get drenched with blood), that would be appreciated.

It seems that I need to make an introduction of myself. I'm Blair, the illusionist's assistant with a love for Disney songs that I'm not afraid to admit to. I look forward to talking with and getting to know all of you. Oh and I am also Mr. Booker's ghoul.

My my. It seems I missed quite an eventful tower tour.

I'm Nyah. I signed a new hire contract last night. Just in time for a move, as I hear it. I'll be filling in for Ingrid? Astrid? Asterisk, whatever at Virtue and Vice as a dancer and martini glass contortionist. Sans olive, tragically.

I look forward to meeting each of you.

That party was AMAZING! We should dress up every night! Oh wait....
Hello to allll our lovely new family members that I haven't gotten around to saying hi to!
I tried... I will continue to try... but HI all the same!

Happy Birthday! I got you a present but you have to participate in a scavenger hunt to find it. Since "we aren't allowed to exclaim your birthday to the world"

I feel strangely excited about the party tonight. I really didn't think I would but maybe the few hours of sleep I had this morning made the night before not so bad. I have no idea.

But... I feel almost hopeful. I think the party is going to be fun despite the fact that I'm never not awkward at parties.

I slept okay once I got back to Maddy's trailer. Did you sleep?

Thank for you sitting with me.

Did anyone ask for the mystery cries and screams of fear? I get that it's close to Halloween and we've got to keep up appearances but this is a bit much. Where are they even coming from?

Hi. I'm Emika. Or Emi. I just got here last week and I'm not entirely sure what is going on, but I don't mind the steady job.

I have the worst memory of anyone I've ever met (that I can remember) and yet I can't get a song out of my head. I suppose because it's a rhyme, it makes it easier to remember.


ETA [About five minutes later]: OH! ALSO! I'm Prosper! Prosper Golightly, at your service. I'll be working in the Pool of Tears, making the worry stones and such. I nearly forgot. Well, I suppose I did forget but then I remembered.

I'm supposed to be doing something...
