Creepy Dollie Seen Carrying a Smaller Creepy Dollie

Staff insist this is perfectly normal. Staff also refuse to define “normal.”

A new photograph from inside the mansion appears to show Creepy Dollie holding a miniature version of herself in one gloved hand. The smaller figure has the same smile, the same crown, and, according to one nervous witness, the same habit of watching people leave the room.

Trip reportedly looked at the photograph, paused for several seconds, and asked whether the little one would need her own snacks. No official response has been issued. The miniature Dollie is believed to remain somewhere inside the mansion.

Solstice’s Studio Lights Stayed On Late

A notebook, a warm microphone, and one unfinished arrangement were visible. Nobody heard the final take, which naturally means everybody has an opinion about it.

Staff Decline to Explain the Extra Throne

Delivery records show nothing. The room count has not changed. Nevertheless, there is now one more throne than anyone remembers ordering. Creepy Dollie smiled when asked.
