Cirque Nocturne: Messages

Honestly, I couldn't be happier being out of Moscow. But way to go to the extreme opposite.

Bitsy has started playing with those dolls that are appearing. I think she's collected five, or befriended them.

[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.

This place looks pretty and all, but fuck this cold.

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

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?

I know the sounds are creepy, but remember that the Veil is almost at the thinnest point of the whole year! Weird things are just par for the course, right? London, and the Tower specifically, has a pretty dark history! Sooo... maybe we're just getting echoes of the past?

Screamy echoes, but just echoes.

It's so strange, being home. I sort of miss Michigan. It was pretty cool, and the Aquarium was so lovely, and there was so much green. Not like London. I love it, but at the same time, it feels dreary in comparison.

The Tower is cool, but the spirits here are... sad. The little boy ghosts don't seem to understand why they're still here, when everyone else is gone. Hopefully we can help them move on before we leave. Ghede?

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

I'm so excited! I mean, I don't know how we're pulling it off and I likely don't want to know but we're IN the Tower of London! I know I'm a super big geek but I so, so want to do a guided tour with the Yoemen. It will be kind of funny to sneak out only to go back in. lol!

I'm not sure if I have ever enjoyed Halloween as it is. My family always celebrated Samhain instead but Halloween was good for business.
But Bitsy got her jack-o-lantern, so-

Anyway, I keep seeing some kind of ghost around the island. I don't have the ability to see them normally, so I'm guessing it's an apparition. Anyone else experiencing that?

I guess I shouldn't question the fact that I saw a tiger sneaking around the castle... nor the group of people seemingly trying to sneak up on it.
I thought I had a weird life before.

So how do you think the full moon will work out while all this weird energy of Angkor Wat is around?

[Halle]
So... Want to hang out? Baba Violette and Bitsy are doing their witch thing for the full moon.

Am I just supposed to say hello? How strange.

This holy place seems like such an auspicious beginning to a life with the Cirque; it can only mean that the Gods will smile on us. And from what I am told, some favor from the Divine is needed?

New food! New food! New food!

I feel like I should set a goal. But that sounds like then it'd make food effort and food should never be effort.

Angkor Wat at the beginning of monsoon season. This should be fun. I hope anyone fussy brought an umbrella. It's been a long time, I forgot how green everything is.

( Callum )

So, yeah. I guess that was better than cutting off the head.

Anyone else want a cigarette and a night of drinking?

[Freya + any phoenixes that might be out there]
Hey, so Callum is in a very bad way. He got shot by a bullet coated with silver nitrate, and he's apparently running a fever and feeling like death.

He's not allowed to- I really don't want anything to happen to him. Someone help? Please?

I would like everyone to check in with me, today.
I know last night was very rough for everyone and I hope that any and all injuries are being looked after.
Clean up and Rousties have a lot to do as well, so they need to be looked after first.
All creatures with healing abilities (for others) please report to the Bandaid Station.

Last night the Hunters while attacking all circus employees of supernatural origin also went after the Cauldron at the center. Trying to blind us as it were and stop our travels.

As we still have more nights here, I need to reitterate the dangers of being out around the city. They had been watching us and somehow knew where the weakened points in our defenses were. If a somewhat alive Hunter is found during clean up I would like to speak with him, and I expect all the employees willing to do so kill any and all Hunters they see during the rest of the stay- but, of course, try to do so with as little attention drawn to us as possible and do not go hunting any further than a five mile radius.

If anyone is planning to go to the city tomorrow, I would appreciate an escort. I have a few personal errands to run that shouldn't take more than an hour or two.

Hmm, seems we showed up right when the circus about to move. Maybe it's a bit of that Rroma wind?
