The capybara cafe is a nice way to spend an evening. Ms. Potato is a very polite eater.

[Hiroki]
I didn't realize that you and Bliss' familiar were one and the same. My apologies.

[Arden]
Can you confirm your availability for tomorrow night when you're awake?

Keeping in mind it'll be a full moon, I'd like to top you up on my blood then, too. Caution never hurt.

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?

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?

I feel so much better about life.
My feelings aren't flooding.
My body doesn't ache.
Hiro is huffy,
but home.

At least we have a beach. You're allowed to collect shellfish there.

What the hell was that?

Hello to everyone reading this! I'm so excited to be joining you all here. I'm Radhika and I met so many of you at the recent party and you all seemed like so much fun that I couldn't resist signing up myself.

I'll be working in [here Radhika has to check the name again] Suadela as a dancer and I am overjoyed that I'll get to dance for a living instead of the boring jobs I could have done in Hyderabad.

Now, where do I get the best drinks? Who throws the best parties? Where do the funnest staff only things happen on site?

OH MY GOD. HAS ANYONE SEEN MY NOTEBOOK? YOU'D KNOW BECAUSE IT SAYS AMELIE'S JOURNAL ON THE FRONT. IT HAS STICKERS EVERYWHERE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT I FIND IT.

I wanted to introduce myself as I'm a new arrival or addition however you want to look at it.

My name is Lan-Xuan, but most call me Lan. I will be joining the Big Top as the newest trickshooter, a position I'm aware was recently made available due to a very unfortunate loss. I am not looking to replace Patric or diminish his memory but rather make the role my own and I look forward to getting to know you all better.

I trust everybody had fun at the party I missed?

Happy Holi!

Isn't it fortuitous that we're in India during this amazing holiday? It's the festival of colours, love, and spring, which are all lovely things that should be celebrated more in my opinion!

There are lots of events happening around town today, so who's up for forgoing sleep and coming to explore and get a bit messy with me?

I am so unfamiliar with the local language of Telugu that the writing looks like wingdings to me but... నా విమానము అంతా మలుగు చేపలతో నిండిపోయింది

What a wonderful city! Kit and I went out to the spice markets on the first night here and the sheer number of smells and sights! I have so many tea ideas.

I had so much fun in the amusement park next door with the little group that went. This slide felt like something that we should have, and I loved the pirate ship ride.

I'm so excited for our first night open tomorrow! The gardens next door close at 9pm, so I feel like we might get even more people than usual who just want to carry on their night.

[OOC: Feel free to say you were part of the afternoon/evening group that went to the NTR gardens, it would have been a casual spur of the moment trip.]

Can I acquire an adventuring party to the Deccan Plateau and explore the hills? Paragliding is involved.

so is it gonna be this hot the whole time we're here?

i think i might die.

So to kind of honour our newest location I will for our time here be making up several different cocktails to serve to all those willing to try something new.

• Indian Vodka Mojito - So as most of you know a traditional mojito is made of white rum, lime juice, sugar, club soda, and mint, but in this variation jal jeera is thrown into the mix. It’s a spice blend of roasted cumin, black pepper, dried mango powder, cayenne, ginger, and mint.
  
  
• Tamarind Ginger Margarita - In this version of the classic margarita, a combination of tamarind concentrate and ginger simple syrup is added to tequila, triple sec, and lime juice.
  
  
• Boozy Mango Lassi - A mango lassi is a great beverage full of complex flavors. The blend of mangoes, yogurt, buttermilk, kaffir lime syrup, and lime juice gives it such an interesting taste. Blend in some rum to the mix and you’ll get the perfect boozy drink to beat the summer heat.
  
  
• Nimbu Pani Mint Julep - Think of the nimbu pani as a crossover between a margarita and a mint julep. It has bourbon, mint leaves, simple sugar, lime, and seltzer water. Besides sugar and water, it also contains black Indian salt, which gives it a touch of saltiness.
  
  
• Indian Gin Cocktail - It’s a blend of lime juice, cinnamon syrup, apple juice, nutmeg, and Jaisalmer – a brand of Indian gin which is flavoured with eleven botanicals, including orange and lemon peel, Darjeeling green tea leaves, and lemongrass.

Any volunteers to be my guinea pigs while I perfect these?

Hello! I hope everyone has had a fantastic day so far! My name is Astrid and I'm new! Well...I've been here a week, so kind of new. I'm so excited to meet you all even if some of you are a little scary.

Anyway! I'm the new costumer and seamstress. I'm in the process of setting up shop, but I'm ready to start taking on projects! I'm really looking forward to creating costumes for the amazing performers here! Everyone is so talented and amazing! I promise to do my best to create the perfect costume for everyone! I make regular clothes too, if anyone needs a new pair of pants or shirt or something.

Even if you don't need any new outfits or costumes, please come by anyway to say hi!!

If anyone wants to do anything - If anyone doesn't want to be alone, we can watch cult classics at my trailer. I haven't even sle

Karolina has asked for there to be a memorial service for Patric, and I am honored to lead such a thing for him. It will be the last time that I am able to announce anything for my trick shooter, and all in the Big Top will feel his loss immeasurably.

Please, come to join us on Sunday night after sun down. We will gather in the stands closest to to my tree and tell our stories of Patric and drink to his memory.

I hope that justice is found and the truth of what happened to him is open to us all, but this night will be only for bidding him farewell.
