"Shall we apply inside to see the place?" *Lizzie grinned and nodded at her uncle.* "A trip to the Continent was just what was needed! What are men to operas and ghosts?" "Lizzie! You do not believe in those silly stories?" *Lizzie only smiled archly at her aunt. As a twitchy little man by the name Lloyd-Webber led her aunt and uncle off for an historical tour of the opera house, Lizzie bored quickly and wandered off to explore on her own. She made a slow circuit of the empty foyer, gasping inwardly at the grandeur.*

*Arielle sighed as she walked out on her way back to Starbucks. She loved the chatter and the warmth of the place. She paused when she saw a girl in the foyer, then smiled. She loved meeting new people.* Hello! I'm Arielle, what's your name?

*Lizzie turned to the friendly girl with a smile.* "Oh, hello! I am Elizabeth Bennet. I am very pleased to meet you Miss Arielle." *Lizzie looked at Arielle with sparkling dark eyes, wondering what kind of girl this girl would turn out to be.*

*Arielle beamed* It's lovely to meet you, Elizabeth! Are you here to look around, or were you interested in auditioning for a job as a dancer or a singer here?

*Elizabeth laughed, the sound rich and lovely, like golden bells.* "Heavens! No...I am no great dancer nor singer. I can never take the trouble of practicing in order to acheive anything that would be other than a punishment for an audience. I am visiting Paris with my aunt and uncle."

*Arielle giggled as well* Visiting Paris with family- how fun! You'll certainly find plenty to do here- there's everything and everyone you could ever care to meet! Green girls and Persians and pirates and ghosts and manliness-es and artists and patrons... it gets rather crazy, but it's fun!

Lord Cheltenham strolled through the foyer, admiring the elegant carvings and decor. He was on his way to the stables to take a ride through the Bois de Boulogne, when he suddenly caught sight of two very attractive young ladies that seemed vaguely familiar.
"Good day," he said as he approached them, touching his hat politely.

Evey, having finally found some appropriate clothes ((hellooooo stage!wishing gown)), came back down the Grand Staircase, holding her skirts awkwardly.

*Arielle smiled* Hello, Lord Cheltenham! I believe we met at Starbucks earlier. It's lovely to see you! And Evey! Hi! *She waved at everybody* This is Miss Elizabeth Bennet! She's visiting Paris.

Evey smiled, and held a hand out to Elizabeth, "Evey Hammond" Bennet...why does that name sound so framiliar...

*Eliza curtsied to the two newcomers.* "I am very pleased to make your acquaintances, Lord Cheltenham, Miss Hammond," *she said brightly, nodding to each in turn.*

*Buffy tottered out to the foyer after Evey, not used to the binding corset. She was happy that whole no pain, no gain thing was largely a thing of the past. Unfortunately, the past she was living in now. Hopefully Giles would come up with something, soon.*
"Hi," *she piped up.* "I'm Buffy Summers." *The name Elizabeth Bennett niggled at her like an answer on an English test. Oh well. She knew there was no such thing as an Elizabeth Bennett demon. And thank goodness everyone spoke English. Now, if only she could get a decent latte...*

Evey smiled back at Lizzie ((I'm NOT typing out elizabeth...too long and I'm lazy)), there was no way she was going to try a curtsey, the last thing she needed to do was fall flat on her face.

Ramsey was surprised at the amount of females who had showed up, but suddenly he had an idea. "Ladies," he said with a winning smile, "I was just about to go riding in the Bois de Boulogne. Perhaps you would all like to join me?"

Evey turned and smiled at Ramsey. "Sure, I haven't been riding since I was a little girl"
