*Opens the big door of the Opera Populaire and quietly walks inside*
Uh...Hello? I am looking for a job. I was wondering if someone could help me, please?
Oh, what am I thinking? How rude am I, just bursting in here asking for a job?! Oh well. It's not like I have a choice anymore anyway.
*Takes a few more steps into the foyer*
Hello?
*Runs a hand through her darkbrown long curly hair, while her green eyes explore the surroundings*

Dominic knew that, as a mere stagehand, he shouldn't be crossing the foyer where patrons or guests could see him. But he caught sight of a confused-looking young woman and his instincts insisted he be a gentleman and attempt to assist her.
"Excuse me," he called out quietly, his masculine voice echoing slightly. "You look rather lost."

*Lune turned around and saw a very handsome man walking towars her.*
"Well...yes, I am a little lost. I would like to work here... But I don't know to whom I should speak. Can you help me?"

Dominic smiled at her. "You're certainly not the only one. It takes a while to find your way around here." He took her gently by the shoulders and turned her towards a discreet oak door in the corner. "That passage is for staff members, but you can use it. It's quicker to get to the stage that way. I think at least one of the managers is there; you can talk to them about auditioning."
He eyed her for a long moment. "But perhaps I could take you there myself? It's easy to get lost."

*She looked at the door and then at the young man, still holding her by her shoulders. She smiled gently at him, thinking he seemed to be a very nice person.*
"Of course. But...what is your name, sir?"

"Oh, there's no need to call me sir," he replied with a smile. "I'm just a stagehand. I'm Dominic, Dominic Dupont. And you...?"

"My name is Lune Ciel." *Lune looked curious* "How long have you worked here? You seem so young... Is it easy to become a stagehand?"

Dominic laughed. "I'm twenty-three. And I wouldn't know if it's easy to be a stagehand; I've been here all my life. My mother was Annette Dupont - she was once prima ballerina - and she raised me here, with the chorus girls and stagehands acting almost as surrogate parents!"
He glanced at her sideways. "How old are you...? If you don't mind me asking, that is."

"Me? I'm nineteen years old." *Lune smiled gently* "It must have been rather interresting growing up here. This is a fantastic building. And I imagine it is a great playground for a little boy!" *She winked*
"How about your father? Did he work here too?"

"I... didn't actually know my father. My mother refused to speak of him." Dominic's blue-green eyes grew momentarily wistful, but then he smiled quickly at Lune. "It's not as bad as it sounds. It's hard to miss what you haven't got, and besides, I had a good enough childhood as it is. One of my first memories is of tying knots in the ropes above stage. It put the men in a fit when it came time to lower and raise the scenery!" He laughed at the thought.
"And what about your childhood?"

*Lune felt a little akward*
"My childhood...Well, I've only met my father once...a couple of years ago. He's from London. So i've been raised by my mother here in France. She died recently, so that's one of the reasons I'm here. But...Um... really, there isn't so much to tell about it. I guess it was quite ordinary."
*Lune blushed. She didn't think Dominic would believe such a bad lie..but his question took her by surprise and she panicked a bit*

Dominic sensed her hesitation and merely nodded in response, not wanting to make her uneasy.
"Well... anyway... shall I take you to the auditions now?"

*Lune nodded, then smiled, as if she wanted to apologise for her confused answer.*
"Yes, that would be nice. Thank you."

Dominic led her through the passageway and down a set of narrow winding stairs. "Here we go," he said as they reached the backstage area. "If you just go into the wings, there will be someone there to take your name and announce you."

"Okay. Thank you for your help. I'll see you around, Dominic!" *Lune smiled and walked away in the direction that Dominic had pointed out.*
