*Erik stirs in his silk-lined coffin for the first time in what seems like years. Something has disturbed his death-like slumber, something potent, like Persian incense wafting from above...*
Christine... *he whispers. She is back; he can feel it.
He is not dead, after all. Not so much as he'd hoped. He felt still, and pain is foremost. As always.*
Has she reconsidered? *he asks himself.* Has she come back... for me?

((If you want, you could invade Chris and Gerik's conversation. That's sure to provide some drama.))

*sweeps in sexily with Christine in his arms and turns to set her on the swan bed*
Wait. This isn't my Home...or my Pad. Where am I?
*strokes Christine's hair fondly in an attempt to hide his embarassment*
I'm sorry, my angel, I seem to have, uh, taken a wrong turn...
*heads back before noticing what appears to be a coffin in a corner of the room, and setting Christine down gently so he can go over and examine it*
*jumps back from the coffin* Good Lord! There's a corpse in here!

*Looks from one phantom to the other*
"There are- two of you??"
I'm not going to faint. I'm going to behave in a calm and reasonable manner. Above all, I'm not going to faint.
*Faints*

Christine!
*catches her clumsily and carries her over to a chair*
Christine...Christine, you need to wake up...
*glances over his shoulder*
Please Christine, the dead guy is creeping me out...

*Flutters her eyes open*
"But how- the living corpse- two of you..."

*Erik's top half rises from the coffin, his terrible head turning slowly to take the scene in.*
Who dares disturb Erik's death? *he grates. He looks from Gerik to Christine, recognizing one and not the other.*
Christine! You have come back to poor, unfortunate Erik! But who is this fool, dressed like a trained monkey? *He lifts himself from the coffin, surprisingly spry for an old, corpsey guy, and sets his feet on the floor. Standing, he is clearly taller than Gerik, but much uglier.* This is Erik's domain, and he does not tolerate stragglers lightly!

*stares at the corpsey guy for a moment before raising himself up to his full height, which is not quite as tall as Erik but still tall enough for him to look menacing to most people (if not to Erik, because...duh)*
Ok, listen up chump: I'm in Erik's "domain" now? *snorts derisively* Well then, just let me know when he gets here, and I'll take it up with him personally. In the meantime, why don't you skidaddle? Erik probably won't be all that happy to have some old dead corpse thingy in his domain either.
*grins smugly at Christine, fully in control of the situation (in his mind)*
