Now this was straight bullshit.
He'd taken a leave of absence to take care of his baby, and a week god damn later, some psyco nut woman, who's been tearin' up the city decided it was time to tear up the opera house.
HIS opera house.
So here he was patching up god damn holes, in the god damn roof, when he should be home with his son.
And Diana.
((Really I kinda want to get him to interact with anyone who either happens to visit the opera a lot, or someone who works there. I want to revive the old place. And if were gonna do that, were gonna need Ballet rats, stupid people, and lots of sexy stagehands.))

((LOL...well, here's...something interesting))
Michelle probably spent far more time on rooftops than even some vigilante superheroes--but, it was a medium she was used to, and while heights didn't bother her, why not enjoy being way up above the ground? Besides, the acrobatics required to travel by rooftop kept her in shape.
She landed neatly on a leading edge of the roof, pausing when she saw that someone else was up here, and working on a large amount of damage. To her eyes, it looked like a fight had taken place, although in a world like this one it could have come from just about anything. Still...
"What happened here?"

((Wee!!))
"Some crazy bitch attacked the opera with plants!" He yelled, before realizing, one, he was on the roof, and two... he was on the roof.
"I er- heh, yeaa... how'd you get up here?"

"Attacked with plants?"
She wasn't sure if he meant that literally or in some figurative fashion, though it could be either thanks to this world.
"I climbed up." She answered his question, not at all taking into account that that might sound strange.

He'd seen enough weird things in Paris to just accept her answer as to how she got up there as true. "Yea, with plants, damn woman was fightin these two costumed fellers, I heard em up here, but I wasn't about to innerfere. Seemed just too crazy for words, there was all these vines and flowers shootin stuff, it was something out of a sci-fi book."

Guys fighting something weird on a rooftop...
...sounded like back home, really.
"I bet it was interesting to see. A Herculean effort, performed for no eyes other than the ones of these statues."
She glanced about, taking in one other detail.
"You're the only one working on the damage?"

"I'm the only one that will, most guys don't come up here for one reason or another, actually most of the guys won't go anywhere backstage. Bull shit phantom story, if it were true, he better be damn happy I'm keepin his opera house in tact. Anyway, I'm Jesse."

"Sounds like they blame it on some Phantom to cover up their laziness." She said, shaking her head.
"I'm Michelle."

One corner of her mouth twitched in a smile.
"I'm sure they can afford it. This place seems well-maintained."

"They also could afford better help, so it's not only you. A bit monumental a task for one man. Not that you don't get the job done."

"Well thank ya" he chuckled "what they need here are like ninjas or something, people who ain't afraid a nothin. These fellas they got workin here, go running at the first sign of a gol' damn shadow." He shook his head "Or some fellas that just really needin the work, you know what I mean? A man who needs ta feed his family'll do anything to do so."
((He's more southern when he's mad, lol.))

"Why doesn't that happen? Surely, you could bring it up to the management? That can't be too busy to listen."
From what she'd heard, the opera had been very slow in it's operation lately, so that managers would really have no excuse not to listen to their staff. They had the time.
