I can help with...with groceries and such. I found work at the University.

Thank you for letting me stay, I know I'm not great company.

Not anymore.

I finally finished building a sensor that I think should be able to pick up the re- the - the residual energy from the portal. So the next time someone arrives, I'll get a reading.

Hopefully it will help us to understand how the portal works, so that it can be reversed.

Has anyone seen any remains or leftovers from the carnival since since it disappeared? I'm going to guess no.

Happy New Year and Auld Lang Syne and all that.

This is the first year I've not spent New Years with Simmons since before I went to the Academy.

I don't think I like it.

Happy New Year!

It wasn't the best Christmas, but it wasn't bad either. I ordered Chinese takeout, and then went to go see Into The Woods. It was amazing! I was so happy I went and then I got the best Christmas gift, my gold star necklace. Just wish I hadn't spent Christmas alone.

I'll pass on the next carnival.

Can someone explain to me why we haven't burned that place to the fucking ground yet?

Wormhole, huh? The wonders of the universe never cease to amaze me. They even gave me a job at a flower shop.

Spending time in jail really got me thinking....I will NOT be going back to that carnival again. I've learned my lesson and will not get sucked into an addiction of playing games. So I need distractions for after work. Anybody that wants to do anything with me besides going to that carnival let me know. I don't want to be tempted again.

I'm not sure if this is an odd question, but I know there are magicians here... are there any seers? I know the two don't always or even often go together but I've something of a professional question.

I always knew there was a reason why I never liked carnivals.

Murderous clowns? Super strong kids smacking people around? Give me regular criminals any day of the week.

I'm trying to shut down the carnival but apparently the wormhole has more authority here than the federal government.

So with Christmas coming up, I thought that I'd see what everyone was doing.

Thus far our plan is to have a traditional UK Christmas. Which means if anyone wants to join us at the pub for Christmas Eve we'll be there most of the night. If anyone is interested, let me know. We'll probably be at Bar Fly as it's our new local.

So I've invited one of my colleagues from work to spend Christmas Day with us. I'm sorry. I know I didn't ask first, but I didn't think that anyone would mind, and no one should be alone on Christmas. It's always been my mum's philosophy, and I believe she's right. Her name is Jo Wilson. We work together at the hospital. She's really nice.

Also, if no one else minds, I've taken a few days before Christmas off and I'd like to cook. So... any objections? Anyone else we want to invite? Believe me, these recipes make enough for a small army. Between Leo and my dad we had to feed one too!

I want my brother. I want to go home. If you really must go to the carnival, it might pay to bring a good supply of food. And possibly a chainsaw.

Summer

Thank you. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't turned up.

So, that carnival.

What's the verdict? Is it the time of everyone's lives?

What the hell just happened?

I can already hear the carnival food calling my name. Only good thing about carnival's even though not really sure if I trust this one, but I mean it's food. How much damage can be done with that? Probably a stupid question to ask.

Well this is definitely not my circus. I'd hoped... Still. I don't suppose anyone's seen a boy with very red hair, looks about 20, possibly with a cat. Or a book. Or a book and a cat. Answers to Widget, probably wearing black or white. The odds are against it, I know, but if anyone does run into him, could you tell him Poppet's looking for him?

A hologram just wished me Merry Christmas. What in the hell?
