[B]onum cacao theobroma laetificat cor hominis

Alright, so it has become abundantly clear that we all checked the world of reason at the door. I had my moment, a clever associate was kind enough to point me in the direction of some good chocolate, and now I feel like I can sit down and think this all over with much more clarity.

So, there are some familiar faces around here. Some of these familiar faces are ones that I previously knew to be dead, and some of these familiar faces are my own, now... Brands, mass kidnapping and unusual setting aside, that is very bizarre. But if each one of us continues to one-by-one discover these phenomena and subsequently reel over them, it will not help us to get out of this place any more quickly.

So, this place is called Nihil, we were brought here by the Ringmaster, and we have some local residents with us on the network. First there's Theo, who owns this house and, despite not having been asked for permission to allow it first, is willing to let us all live here for the time being. Then there's Cosette, the Ringmaster's daughter, and Eleanor. We should each have a room key (which, in all likelihood, most of us have put to use already), a red ticket on our person somewhere, and a brand on the inside of one wrist. I've been discussing the significance of each of these clues with some associates, and if you have some insight on the matter or theories of your own, you may feel free to voice them in comments.

EDIT: To help further this process along, I have a sun brand. So far we have also confirmed the presence of moons and stars. Are there any other symbols out there?

There's a murderer in room 222. He says that he has killed four people, and he was definitely in some sort of custody before arriving here- he wasn't clear on whether it was a high-security psychiatric institute or a prison.

Have you come up with any additional theories since the last time we spoke? Things have become a lot more complicated than necessary, since there now appears to be two of me and two of you... but I suppose you still think that this is a nightmare?

Thanks for the chocolate offer, but L told me that there's some chocolate in the kitchen downstairs. Fourth cabinet from the right, third shelf from the bottom. I took just under half of what was in there for myself and left the rest for you- though I'd appreciate it if you left something for L, too. He's a sweet-craving undead genius zombie suffering from bradycardia, after all.
