*goes from frightening to annoyed*
I think Christine deserves the right to decide for herself who she does and does not wish to see, and she told me up in the foyer not ten minutes ago that she wanted to see me again. I don't know who you are or why you're here in my cellars, but she came down here with me, and the mere sight of you caused her to pass out. I think it's pretty clear which one of us she wants.

*Erik's eyes seem to fill with tears.*
These? These are not your cellars. I built them! I know every inch of this opera house. You are a mere frog. Or toad. Take your pick, Erik can imitate either. But no one tells Erik who Christine wants!
*He drops Gerik and turns to Christine, as if he's forgotten the other man. He falls at her feet and begins crawling about in a most undignified fashion, grasping at her hem.*
Christine, forgive your poor Erik! He did not mean to frighten you! Tell me why you're here.
((Just struck me that my Erik ain't very sue-worthy. Hmm. Should I sex him up a bit?))

((Leuroux!Erik's sweet, but the whole situation is freaking Christie. She's on the verge of running screaming into te streets.))
"I-I'm here because..."
*Christine gulped and her eyes darted between Erik and Gerik*
"My sister died. I left Raoul. He-"
*She pointed to Gerik*
"-took me here and now I..."
Okay, I'm losing it. No big deal.

((Maybe he could gradually get sexed up over time? I dunno, you're doing such a good job of playing him in-character right now. Do you want him to become involved with Sues, or do you want to keep him devoted only to Christine?))
*stares back and forth between Erik and Christine, waiting for Christine to finish her sentence and considering running back up to the foyer like a scared bunny*
...wait. Why am I so scared? This guy tried to scare me by telling me he could sound like a frog. Ha. Hahaha. HAHAHAHAHA. I bet my singing totally pwns his.

((Aww, thanks! I guess we can have one cannon character actually being... cannon. I guess Gerik fulfills the "OMG SO SEXI" thing. I dunno about other sues--it's kind of the point of them being here, though, right? To try their hand at getting teh pahntom? WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?))
Why so frightened, Christine? Don't you know I love you? I have died for you, and you have returned! Why shrink from Erik now?
*He reaches for her blindly.*
Why do you act as if you don't recognize your Erik?

*Christine softened at Erik's pleadings*
"One of you is the creature of my dreams, the other of my nightmares. And yet, you both seem familiar to me. Perhaps I am mad, but I don't think anyone in this room can cast the first stone when it comes to mental health."

If I am mad, it is my love for you that has made me so. That and, humanity's inhumanity. And also, probably, my difficult upbringing with parents who hated and emotionally tortured me.
I think there is also lead in these pipes.
But Christine! I am confused by your words. I cannot be your creature of dreams, for you to shrink from me so. But could this clueless parrot possibly be?

((About Erik's earlier question- it's fun having two guys hopelessly devoted to me, but if you fall in love with someone else, I won't stand in your way. Unlike some people I could mention.))
"I don't know anything anymore. It's as if you were from two different versions of my story. I suppose anything is possible."

((I just realized how weird it is for you guys to by vying for my attention. Didn't you use to just kidnapp me and try to kill any other potential lovers?))

((True. But I don't feel able to *kill* anyone, and it's not like we'd believe him failing that hard.
But yes. Yes, I did.))
*Erik stares at Christine for a long, burning moment, than back at the cowering cockatoo who seemed about to wet himself.*
I hope you are not suggesting, dear Christine, that this imbecile is of any relation to me.

((Dude, I just had a vision of Erik and Gerik both failing and going out to some bar and crying into their beers together.))
*is shockingly in agreeance with Erik*
Seriously, Christine. Look at us. How could that be similar to me?
*swishes his cape sexily*

*Is gettinig very frustrated*
"You both claim to be the Opera Ghost, don't you? For god's sake, what am I supposed to do?"
*Fights back the urge to faint again*

*Erik peered curiously at Christine.* "Do you not remember, Christine? The months you studied with me, the flowers I gave you? Do you not remember turning the scorpion?" *He was beginning to wonder if something wasn't dreadfully wrong with the poor girl.*
((And no, I don't know how to resolve this!))
