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.

Does anyone have any miracle fixes for bruises? Or anything to help, at all. I had 26 dolls in my trailer last night. I look like a children's fingerprinting project and I had nightmares about the farm. Feeling shaky

If it turns out there is a horrible consequence to harming these dolls, a curse perhaps, I am screwed. And yet, that would not surprise me. It seems that anything is possible in this circus.

I have not introduced myself. My name is Violeta Ízar de Lafuente, I am a performer for the Dancing Swords. My partner and I joined the last night in London, but I am afraid I got a little caught up in...the nightmare festivities.

Thailand, though, is beautiful. I look forward to seeing all that it has to offer. Tomorrow, I will go to the floating market.

Without naming names, please let me remind everyone to never download attachments sent to you from unknown users, no matter what the email says. Please also do not click on strange ads on websites or allow websites permission to run code if you don't trust the source.

Internet gremlins have a habit of becoming real, actual gremlins in our network and then instead of getting rid of it with a malware remover tool I have to spend like 3 hours chanting an exorcism. So next time you're tempted by the thought of a Nigerian prince sharing $20 million with you, please think of my vocal chords and just say no.

...Also, whoever left the doll at my workstation, thank you but no thank you.

I don't know what everyone's so concerned about. I like him, he's shiny and seems to have life sorted. I'm calling him George.

I'll take dolls that no one wants!

Hi. I'm Oighear.

[Four-legged, Fox paced in her trailer for several minutes, mentally rehearsing ways in which she might introduce herself. How did a human say “Surprise! I’ve been here, watching all of you do ridiculous things when you thought no one was looking for six months,” in a way that minimized strangeness? Deciding to wing it, she leapt up onto her bed. Landing as a human, she crossed her legs, bent over her battered keyboard and wiggled her fingers anxiously over the keys. “Just do it already,” she chastised herself.]

Hi Cirque. I’m Fox. I’m new kinda. I joined back in Prague. Fun fact: residents in Prague drink more beer per capita than any other country in the world, but Germans get all the pomp. It’s cheaper than water on most menus.

So let’s see. I’ve been taking care of the light tunnel for a while, but I like it here so I’ve signed to stay longer. Most of you are cool. With the exception of this last week. Then a lot of you were creepy. Anyway. I’m the new Fire Sculptor. Oh! I have a gold pocket watch with a fancy monogram I’m betting is important to someone. I’m not sure how I got it. If you can prove it’s yours I’ll drop it off. Otherwise it’s mine. It’s really pretty, stuff like that shouldn’t be falling from pockets.

I am called Eric. I come from the ocean, very deep. I am to swim in the lagoon, which is very much too warm and too bright and too shallow. Can someone tell me where I find the food before it is cooked?

...

I guess I should write more.

The internet says that this is good "ice-breaker". It is called two truths and a lie. Choose the lie right, you win.

1. I name myself Eric after the silly prince in the Little Mermaid.
2. Humans love my singing. Brings all the boys to the yard.
3. Blackfish is my favourite movie. RIP Tilikum.

Your turn.
