Cirque Nocturne: Messages

I’ve noticed many of us plan on attending multiple events this week. Rather than spend earnings on several sets of formal wear with the holidays coming up, who would be interested in pooling dresses or suits and sharing as size constraints allow? I’m sure the dress shops in Vienna are thrilled that they’re being almost singlehandedly kept afloat by Cirque employees, but we’ll have plenty of needier economies to stimulate elsewhere and this dress buying spree is absurd. I’ll arrange a rack in the costuming tent if there’s interest.

Anon questions;

1) Don't make it more complicated. Just tell her you like her. Don’t make her play a game of Clue.
2) No. Glass heels are a horrible idea. Don’t bother the costumers.
3) It’s “Guten abend” to say good night. “Gute nacht,” is for someone you live with, or you're sleeping with. Don’t say this casually, it’s the German equivalent of singing the hook from Lady Marmalade at someone you’ve just met. If you must, make sure the ‘cht’ sound is soft. A hard ‘kht’ means “good naked.” Results vary. Use your imagination.

So...is a red suit appropriate to wear to one of these shindigs? Because that's what I currently have. I suppose I could get a proper black one, but I hate being measured. It takes too long, and I'm terrible at standing still.

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.

I'm covering this once, and only once. I am not a doll whisperer. I can't read their futures. I don't know if they intend to beat you up again tonight. Please stop asking. To start, I'd suggest not hoarding them in your trailer like a pre-teen girl, and not smashing them like an angry pubescent boy. Short of that, let the witches do their work.

As for the anonymous questions left in my dropbox today;

1) You missed the train on bitcoin. I'd recommend looking at investments in VI sex dolls. It'll be a thing, and soon.
2) She's cheating on you with the Goblin. You've been a doormat. She likes someone more assertive.
3) I can't help you with the rash. That's not how this works. Get yourself to the Bandaid Station, stat.

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!

[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.

Has anyone lost their shadow? I'm only half-joking because I've seen it twice now. This strange silhouette just...lurking.

Okay, my pet tiger and I are playing hide-n-pin the tail on the tiger..... WHO ELSE WANTS TO PLAY!

New guy here! I join up and we get castles so... you're welcome.

I'll be taking care of the menagerie. If you all happen to see a tiny green fox-like creature in your rooms, feel free to throw things at it and/or toss it out of a window. He will steal your stuff. He's been warned, but he's incorrigible.
