*Mina stepped out of her carriage, surveying the Paris Opera. Rumor had it that it was the center of the strange goings-on in France, and M had ordered her to investigate- especially since it was the last known hiding place of Mr. Hyde. Typically, Alan Quartermain had been sidetracked by the discovery of his long lost son James Bond, Captain Nemo wanted to stage a heist at the Louvre, and the Invisible Man had gotten distracted by something shiny.*
Men.

*Aimery walked through the foyer on his way to practice when he noticed the young woman. He smiled warmly as he took a detour to intercept her, drawing out his writing pad as he did so.*
Hello. My name is Aimery. Can I help you?

((Can you see my avi now?))
*Mina was startled at first. The poor boy must have been a mute- how odd that he should reside in a place where such emphasis was placed on vocal ability. She smiled warmly at the child.*
"Perhaps. I have been considering investing money in the Opera, but I would like to find out more about it first."
Remember, stick to M's story.

((Yes, much better. Thank you.))
*Aimery considered her request but then smiled brightly and nodded.*
Would you like to speak to the managers?

"Yes- eventually."
*She examined the boy*
"But first, I would like to ask you some questions- after all, i'm more likely to recieve honest answers from those who reside here on a daily basis. If I'm not taking up too much of your time, that is."

*Aimery looked past her towards the auditorium, but then met her eyes with a generous smile and shook his head.*
What can I help you with?

"Well, for instance, I've heard a great deal of rumors about this place."
*She looked thoughtful*
"Rumors of performances being distrupted and performers being kidnapped by the supernatural. My friends have assured me that this is all gossip, but I am rather open minded when it comes to the occult. How much truth is there to these rumors?"

*Aimery's eyes widened and he pursed his lips, trying to figure out how best to explain it to her.*
I have never seen anything at the Opera, but the rumors seem to persist. Sometimes girls do disappear, but they seem to always come back again. I'm sorry if that's not the answer you were looking for.
*He felt bad not mentioning Faye, but he figured that it would be too hard to explain.*

I wonder if Hyde is behind any of these vanishings. They should certainly be reported.
*Mina waved her fan- it was a bit on the warm side*
"On the contrary- that is fascinating."

*Aimery glanced behind the woman again, somewhat nervous.*
What other sorts of supernatural events are you looking for? If you could be more specific, I might be able to help better.

*Mina wondered why the boy seemed so nervous*
"Oh, I was simply trying to get a feel for the place. What are some of the common rumors?"
|

Post by Aimery on Sept 15, 2007 20:56:08 GMT -5
*Aimery shrugged.*
Most of them are common. Patrons that get what they pay for, eccentric writers and dramatic leads. The rest of us try to keep up. There are some rumors about a ghost that haunts the house. But I've never seen him.

*Mina nodded*
"Thank you, young man. I shouldn't detain you any longer, I suppose."

Thank God she doesn't know about Faye.
*Aimery smiled and nodded.*
Thank you. Good luck in finding what you're looking for.
*He started off to the auditorium.*

Well, that was useless.
*Mina shrugged and decided that if this turned out to be a dead end, at least she might be able to catch a show*
