pmwww | | Hide your face... (7th Sep 08 at 7:15pm UTC) | | Mariya lands in Opera Populaire, in the Chappel and finds herself in a dress that looks like a slave costume. She sighs. She goes up the stairs and finds a rehearsal going on.
A man comes in, interupting the rehersal. The conductor sighs. "Mr. Leferve! I am rehersing!"
"Madame Giry, Ladies and Gentleman, if I may have your attention please." Mr. Laferve says. "As you know, there have been rumors of my immanent retirement. I can now tell you that they are all true."
Mariya stands with some other girls now, and one gives an "Ah-ha."
"It is my pleasure to introduce to you to two gentleman who now own the Opera Populaire, Mr. Richard Firmin, and Mr.Gilles Andre." | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (7th Sep 08 at 7:28pm UTC) | | "We are deeply honored to introduce our new patron. The Vicomte de Chagny." Mr. Firmin says.
A brown haired man enters then and Mariya whisltes to herself. "He's cute." She mutters.
"My parents and I are honored to support all the arts, expecially the world-renouned Opera Populaire." The Vicomte says.
Some introductions are exchanged, and Mariya makes mental notes of all the names and faces. When the other girls start singing and dancing she joins in, and takes to it fast.
At the end, Carlotta grumbles. "All they care about is dancing!" She shouts. She then goes to Mr. Laferve. "I hope your new patron is excited by dancing girls as your new managers, for I will not be singing!"
She then turns and begins to leave. Mariya sighs, and waches the new managers grovel. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (8th Sep 08 at 10:02pm UTC) | | Eventually, Carlotta agree's to sing a song for them. In the middle of the song, the back drop falls on Carlotta and people scream.
"He's here, the Phantom of the Opera." Meg says.
Mariya 'hmms' "Guess he doesn't like Carlotta's singing." She says to herself.
"Monsier theres no one there, but if there is, perhaps it's a ghost." Joseph says before laughing.
After a brief fight, Carlotta storms off, and Madame Giry comes up to the New managers. "I have a message sir, from the opera ghost."
"Oh dear god in heaven you all obcessed!" Mr. Firmin exlaims.
"He welcomes you to his Opera house.."
"His opera house?" Firmin asks, sounding insulted.
"And commands that you continue to leave Box Five empty for his use. And reminds you that his salary is due." Madame Giry says.
"His salary?" Andre asks in disbelief.
"Oui, Mr. Laferve used to give him 20,000 francs a month." Giry says.
"Twenty thousand francs!" Mr. Firmin says, insulted, taking the note and examining it.
"Prehaps you can afford more, with the Vicompte as your patron?" Giry asks. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (10th Sep 08 at 1:42am UTC) | | | Mariya doesn't pay attention to the following conversation, just wanders off to explore the Opera house. She see's Carlotta leaving and begins to sing 'Think of me' and the lovely sound echo's threw-out the stairwell. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (17th Sep 08 at 12:45am UTC) | | Riana nods.
"Ladies, we're rehersing!" Madame Giry says.
Mariya and RIana turn. "Sorry Madame." Mariya says.
"Who are you, I have not seen you here before." Giry says.
"Hey, we want to know why were here too." RIana says.
"You, the black hair, sing." Madame Giry says.
Mariya sighs and begins singing 'Think of me' again, and her voice sounds so similar to Christine's.
Riana does the same, but her voice is a low alto.
Madame Giry sighs. "Get back to rehersal the both of you." She says.
Mariya nods and drags Riana back to the stage. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (18th Sep 08 at 2:26am UTC) | | After the nights performance, Mariya and Riana are taken to a private room where they can stay. Mariya changes into a nightgown and lies on her bed. Riana lies on her bed and falls asleep right away.
But Mariya, however, can't seem to fall asleep. She hears what seems to be singing, and follows it to Christine's dressing room. She see's Roul trying to get the door open. "What's with the rucus?" She asks.
"Someone's in there with Christine." Roul says.
Mariya takes out a hair pin from her hair and moves Roul. She then continues to pick the lock and opens the door, and looks inside. "There's no one here Roul." She says before turning to him. "Maybe you had a long day and are imagining things."
Roul sighs. "Maybe your right." He says before leaving. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (20th Sep 08 at 2:29pm UTC) | | When Roul leaves, she goes into the room and begins looking around, and goes to the mirror, which she pulls away to reveal a passageway. She follows it, and stops when she comes to a...lake? She hears singing and lifts up her skirt and follows the voices when she comes to an archway. She see's a man, holding a hand over half of his face. Christine, on the floor, looks horrified and hands him the mask. The man takes it and puts it over the half of his face which he was covering.
"Come we must return, those two fools who run my Theatre will be missing you." He says.
The phantom? Mariya asks in her mind.
The Phantom looks over to her then and she gasps, and runs as fast as she can. Once back in Christine's room she goes to her room. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (22nd Sep 08 at 10:34pm UTC) | | Riana was dressing when Mariya returned. "Are you alright?" She asks.
Mariya nods and dresses herself. She then goes out to the Stairway to see Carlotta, Mr. Firimin, Mr. Andre, and Roul talking.
"Gentlemen, I have now sent you several notes of the most amiable nature...I shall give you on last chance…" Firmin reads from a note. "Christine Daee shall take Carlotta's role tonight, and Carlotta will play the Pageboy. Mariya shall be Christine's understudy...."
"Me?" Mariya asks, coming into veiw.
"I shall watch the performance from my normal seat in Box Five, which will be kept empty for me. Should these commands be ignored, a disaster beyond your imagination will occur. I remain, gentleman, your obedient servant, O.G." Firmin says, before sighing.
"He's a lunatic if he thinks we'll obey these orders." Andre says.
Carlotta begins flipping out, and begins storming off before the Managers start sucking up to her, she calms and begins to get ready. Mariya keeps calm, watching all of this. Her, the understudy for Christine? She shrugged and went backsatge, Riana following. Mariya looks around, hoping to catch a glipse of the Phantom. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (22nd Sep 08 at 11:31pm UTC) | | Mariya see's nothing, and sighs. She then goes back and prepares her search elsewhere.
That night Carlotta is spraying something into her throat, and singing notes. Mariya watches from backstage as Joesph Bouquet, the man in charge of the backdrops and stuff walk on the brige between the two sides.
The show begins, and in mid-song, the Phantoms voice can be heard. "Did I not instruct Box five to remain empty?"
"It's him..." Christine murmurs.
"Your part is silent little toad." Carlotta says. She then goes over to the side stage, where a woman sprays something in her mouth. She then returns to the stage and begins singing again, but before she can sing-laugh, her voice croaks."
The audience gasps and Carlotta runs off. The curtains shut, and the Managers run down and announce Chrisitne will be playing the countess. Til she was ready the Act 3 ballet will be performed. They drag Christine off and the curtains open again.
Meanwhile, Bouquet is looking around, thinking he saw something in the rafters. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Hide your face... (22nd Sep 08 at 11:48pm UTC) | | | A movement in the rafters suddenly draws the attention to the other side of the rafters where a strange white creature is, blocking that end of the walkway. While one's reaction would be to run, the other end of the rafter is also blocked off but by a strange black-cloaked figure. "I'm sorry," he calmly says as he walks toward Bouquet, "but I'm afraid this is your final act." | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (22nd Sep 08 at 11:53pm UTC) | | | Bouquet lets out a cry and leans against the rope, but looses his balance and falls over, faling to the floor, and dieing. All the crowd gasps, and scream. The managers try to calm them, and Mariya looks up to the rafters, expecting the Phantom. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Hide your face... (22nd Sep 08 at 11:57pm UTC) | | | The figure watches as Bouquet falls, and once he hits the ground, he leaps down from the rafters, landing next to the body. A dark portal appears and engulfs both him and the body, and as it disappears, several Dusks drop down from the rafters to attack anyone still on the stage. | |

Meanwhile Chrisinte runs up the stairs, leading to the roof, Roul following. | |

Mr. Firimin approches her. "Where is Chrisitne?" He asks.
"I was just looking for her." Mariya answers. "I'll let you know if I find her."
Mariya then walks passed him, and searches again. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Hide your face... (23rd Sep 08 at 12:24am UTC) | | | It is a part of the shirt that Bouquet was wearing! The figure must have been here earlier. A closer inspection of this area reveals that there was some sort of struggle. Maybe this is where the figure disposed of Bouquet's body? Maybe he turned Bouquet into a Nobody? | |
