Cirque Noir

What a welcoming city Amsterdam remains, and Haarlem has a real sense of peace to it.

Just remember to keep some common sense about you. When the cirque was here about 15 years ago a particular group went out and got so high and drunk that three of them tumbled into a canal together.

And that canal water smell never came out of those jeans, no matter how much I washed them.

I'm very excited about the upcoming move, like everyone seems to be. But I would be much happier if it didn't make me feel quite so... nauseated. If anyone has any ginger tea, I would appreciate it?

I cannot believe I even have to say this to a group of fucking adults but in no universe is a food fight acceptable behaviour for the cirque. What a disgusting waste of resources and complete disrespect to the catering team who work hard every day to keep hundreds fed and to the cleaning team who have to then deal with your mess.

I hope every one of you involved has apologised.

Hello, it seems like I've chosen a bit of a solemn time to join you all here?

Even so, I'll introduce myself. My name is Tae Seong-mi, and I've come to you from Korea. I'll be working as a costumer, so I hope to meet nearly everyone! Finding the Cirque Noir here was very exciting, as I had heard rumors about it before but didn't know when it would come close enough for me to actually become a part of. I hope to be friends with everyone, and will be in your care from now.

Ummmm Also, if anyone is available to talk about specific dietary needs or what happens to corpses... please reach out to me.

Thank you very much!

So... what did I miss? And more importantly, did anybody miss me?

It's been a while.

do any of you ever wonder why the letters in the english alphabet are in the order that they're in? i mean like, the letter 'j' was one of the last letters added and yet it's the 10th letter in the alphabet. why is that?

There was this movie called Fear that came out in
1996 - I was way too young when I
first got to watch it. But I
am watching it again now
and I forgot all about
the rollercoaster.

I feel claustrophobic.
Anyone want to go to
an onsen with me?

To all the new people who haven't had their portraits taken message me here. We need to get that shit done.

Went out with Haneul and tried some amazing food. The whole night was great, plus she shared her fish shaped waffle thing filled with red beans, I think it was called...something yaki? It was really good. For a sweet thing, Phineas you may like one.

Still, with all the amazing food I've had while in Japan, I woke up craving ceviche so I think I'm going to go find a fresh market to find some fish, shrimp, and I think I want to grill some octopus. See if I can make my Abuelita proud.

Oh! Phineas, I'll grab you the waffle thing on my travels today! Hey, Niamh, want sugar coated fruit? I'll get you some sugar coated fruit.

Han, I'll put some ceviche and octopus aside for you! You too Ame!

If anyone else is in the mood for Mexican seafood or likes grilled octopus - there will be enough to share until there isn't.

...is it going to be cool if I build a firepit to grill? I'm going to build a firepit.

This has been the wildest introduction to the supernatural.

Um, hello. My name is Aedan. I am new. I don't know anyone here, really, so if I make a mistake or accidentally do something wrong, please let me know! I'm a quick learner. But, um, I'm resident donut boy! I like baking things. So. Feel free to stop by for some donuts!

Any advice for a newbie around these parts?

If anybody is interested, I'm arranging a party bus tour of the best bars and nightclubs in the local area.

Obviously, for a time when we aren't working.
