*Christine Daae slowly entered through the Opera door and nervously pulled her shawl a little tighter. She had brought no bags, as she had no intention of staying. She knew all too well she would probably not be welcome here. In fact, the only reason she was even here was to try to see Erik in the hope that maybe, just maybe, he might be willing to take her back. Oh, she knew she was undeserving of him, and he had every right to turn her away, but if he still loved her, perhaps he would take her...
Ever since she had left the Opera, she had been terribly miserable. Raoul had been rather helpful in adding to her misery, and at first she had thought that he was the extent of her problem. But after she had finally left, she realized that it wasn't Raoul at all, but rather Erik. She had found that she couldn't live without him, and by now was fully grateful that Raoul had made her leave while she could. And now, here she was, so close to seeing Erik again. She sighed in a mixture of anticipation and dread. Oh, if only he would take her back again!*

*Arielle walked silently down the sweeping staircase into the foyer. She had been re-reading a book of poetry her father had given her, but a yearning for a midnight snack had forced her to sneak down to grab something from the kitchen. Deciding that descending through the foyer was much more fun than going on a more direct route, she had begun her descent when she saw the petite brunette slip in the front door. Running silently down the last few steps, she walked up to the side of the girl.*
Well, butter my bosom and call me a muffin!Hello, who are you? *she whispered melodically* I may still be new here, but people sneaking in during the middle of the night certainly deserve to be talked to! But perhaps she's just shy, and doesn't want a rush of people greeting her. *Another glance at the girl's pretty face made Arielle wonder why the girl looked so familiar* I just can't quite put my finger on it...*she thought to herself as she smiled sweetly*

*Carlotta strode into the foyer from the direction of her dressing room.* "Bloody managers never in their office..." *she stopped cold in her tracks.* "YOU!" *she shrieked.* "That's eet! I geeve up! Eet ees feeneeshed! Dey bring back de leetle Daae garl and now--no, ma! I am going to my villa. If you ever need me back, forget it because bye bye I'm really leaving!" *She burst into angry tears and stormed out the front doors to her waiting carriage which bore her off down the street.*

*Anneke walked along the halls of the opera, deep in thought.* If I were a crayon, what colour would I be? *The slim volume of a novel that she held in her hands was ignored, although her fingertips ran across the worn cover absently. She hummed a tune as she turned onto the grand staircase that curved gently into the main foyer. She had taken to wandering like this late at night when she could not sleep. Anneke stopped on the landing in the centre where the two upper flights of stairs came together to form the great centre staircase. Hearing a voice, she looked up to see two figures standing before her and the retreating back of La Carlotta as she burst out the front doors. Distracted by the imperious diva's exit, she did not immediately register the two other girls before her. After a moment, she looked at them both with an vague smile on her face. Her brows contracted for a moment, as though she was puzzled.* "Christine..." *she breathed a moment before her face paled to a ghastly tone and she crumpled to the floor, insensible.*

((I thought of pulling a Gone With the Wind on this one, but she's on the landing in the middle. So no.))

*Christine was about to answer Arielle when Carlotta whipped through, followed by another girl who promptly fainted on the staircase. Perhaps she shouldn't have come after all; she was causing far too much trouble already!*
"I- I'm sorry..." *she said, though it was doubtless anyone would be able to hear.*

*Alandra walked to the Foyer in a hurry*
What on earth is going on
*She saw a girl laying on the staircase and saw Arielle talking to someone who looked rather familiar because everybody knows how Christine looks like although they have never really met or anything like that*
"Good God".
*Alandra hurried over to the girl and tried to wake her up*
"Mademoiselle, come one wake up".

*Arielle gasped as she saw the other other girl fall down the staircase soon after the woman she supposed was La Carlotta stormed through the foyer* What...? Who is...? Why...? Oh, forget it. *She thought, rushing over to join Alandra and help the poor girl on the stairs wake up, quite forgetting about 'the leetle Daae garl' she had been talking to* ...Wake...up? Wake up! Oh, Alandra, what do we DO?!?!? *Arielle cried, her voice beginning to have a note of hysteria in it* I've never liked messes like this! I wonder why that Daae girl made this girl faint...?

*Alandra stood up and looked around, trying to think up something*
What do you do when somebody faints.....you trow water on them! of course
*Alandra looked and spotted a bucket of water, as if it had magically appeared. Quickly she got it and threw it over the girl*

*Arielle gives Alandra a standing ovation applauds her good thinking* I applaud your good thinking, Alandra! *Her hands drop to her sides as she turns her gaze once again to the girl on the stairs*
