Welcome to the Palais Garnier Opera house, located in Paris, France! It is a beautiful, 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera. It is used for Operas and Ballet and is used to hold balls, usually masquerade. It is beautiful, elegant, and amazing.

Most people know this opera house from Gaston Leroux's novel and later the stage production by Andrew Llyod Webber Phantom of the Opera. It has always been rumoured that the Phantom was based off a real person, but many people shot those rumours down. But, believe it or not, it was true. There was a man who was so hideous that he hid underground the Opera house wearing a mask and causing havok amongst the Ballet dancers and singers and actors in the late 1800's. Of course, he was no Phantom(Ghost). He was a real man, just mentally ill, and was mentally abused all his life for his appearance. The reason why no one has seen him since then was because he moved away with one of the singers, whom he fell in love with, and they later gave birth to a child. A son. 

In this roleplay, it is modern day at the Palais Garnier. You live there as a ballet dancer, or you are an actor/actoress who works there, but you don't normally live in the Opera House, unless you choose to stay in the Ballet room. Or you are a person who lives in town who of course has heard of the Opera House. Everyone in France knows about it. In fact, most people in the world know about it. 

A new phantom is here. The many-great grandson of the first Phantom and his wife. He was abused by his mother as a child, and one day she threw a plate at his face, causing the left side of it to be scarred and disfigured. He knows about his many-great grandfather's past and ran away when he was twelve to the Opera House to live just like his many-greats grandfather lived.

All the Ballet dancers share one large open room with many beds in the attic of the opera house. They don't have much privacy and use the bathrooms to change. They each get a twin bed.

Erik was named after the original Phantom of the Opera. He lived with his mother and father up until he was twelve. The story of the Phantom of the Opera had been passed down the family line for years. His parents were abusive and cruel to him. One day, when his mother was drunk and his father was out, she started yelling at him and threw a china plate at him. The first missed, and she threw another. It shattered on his face, and she threw another one. He ran from the house and went to the Opera House, where he often went to get away. He met the Ballet Director, Madame Giry. She fixed up his face and he told her about his relation to the Phantom. Of course she knew the story, and knew the truth behind it. Her great great grandmother had been the Ballet Director during the original Phantom's time. She offered him a place to stay in the same place the Phantom used to stay, underground in the underground lakes. He accepted the offer to hide away from his abusive family. His face never healed and it is now scarred badly. Madame Giry gave Erik the Phantom's mask at his request that her family had kept after the Phantom had left. Erik now lives unknown underneath the Opera House and never removes the mask. The only person who knows about him is Madame Giry. He has an amazing, talented voice. || Antoinette's mother is the head of the ballet department. She is very faithful in her mother, and often listens to her stories about the Phantom. Her mother tries to make them sound not real, but Antoinette believes the stories, and believes that the Phantom has returned. She has spotted him twice walking around the Opera house at night.

Accepted and oh my god, I am literally so in love with the phantom of the opera it's ridiculous.)) Antoinette was walking with her mother on the stage. Rehearsal was about to begin for the actors and ballet dancers. She had her hands clasped in front of her, waiting patiently. // Erik was watching the practice beginning from above. He kept an ear out for anyone who would come up here. He had on his great-great-great grandfather's mask. He ran a hand through his hair, watching with much interest.

Ren waited patiently with the other ballet dancers dressed in costume and pointe shoes wrapped around their ankles. More than anything she loved to ballet dance. Walking on stage, she assumed her position within the dancers standing in a casual sixth position with a low fifth in arm positions waiting to begin. Her mind went through the steps and moves, telling herself that she indeed does remember these moves and not to forget them. Looking to the right, then the left, she observed all the other members compiling onto the stage to rehearse.

---

Daniel was falling dreadfully late. Putting the last piece of his costume on, he bolted for the stage, running through the enterior of the opera house. Literally running onto stage, he took position and waited as though he'd been there the whole time. His chest heaved in and out from his excessive running and he fought the urge to lean over and put his hands on his knees to catch his breath. Now about the singing...he likes to tell people that he doesn't sing, but in actuality he sings just as loud as everyone else. It may not be considered perfect, but its there. His light brown eyes scanned his surroundings at all the actors, actresses, and ballet dancers.

Lisithia:

Oh the time! Quick as a whick, Lisithia entered the ballet room, tip-toeing her way up to Ren, who she quietly stood by, biting her lip anxiously. She realized she was slightly late, but her mind was completely distracted with something else. The evening that waited for her was what was on her mind. Quickly trying to forget about, but obviously not, Lisithia tried to find her spot and how to begin and what they'd be rehearsing today. She hoped she hadn't forgot any of the moves in which they had practiced before. To mess things up would just be terrible and a bad reputation for her upcoming night. Why, oh why, had the thought been lingering on her mind for so long? She hadn't been able to concentrate for two days straight! And now, knowing that it was tonight, made her completely jittery on the inside, that she just wanted to burst!

Will post for Vincent later. MUST. GO. NOW.

Siba: The whole movie makes me cry due to its perfectness. No joke, when the chandelier comes up and the overture starts playing I cry because it's just so perfect. I watch it at least once a week on Netflix but it's not the 2004 movie it's performed on stage at Royal Albert Hall. And I do indeed cry at the ending. I love the Phantom so much it's kind of ridiculous and probably very unhealthy

Valentine: Thank you! And I suggest watching it, because it's possibly the best thing ever created by man kind 


Antoinette danced with the other Ballet Dancers in their perfect routine. She kept her eyes closed as she practiced, humming along to the music. She moved her body in ways and shapes that most normal people could not do. But of course she could. Her and the rest of the girls. They were ballerinas. She opened her eyes once and looked at her mother, who was watching them practice. Occasionally she would call out to a girl or two to help them with their dancing.


Erik watched, interested in the dancing. He was leaning against the railing in the loft. He hid in the shadows, still making sure no one was coming. The drunken fools that controlled the area up here were usually never here unless the nights of performing and the occasional practice.

Ren began the dance routine, floating around on her toes. She let her strong legs perform their duties in keeping straight, and her feet perform their duties in being pointed at all times. Arms were being strong and fingers to the tip elegantly pointed. Her neck was kept elongated and her posture up straight. All her limbs and even her torso had been worked through years of strenuous practice to be the best ballerina she could possibly be. Her face showed so much emotion for the dance as she perfectly executed it. At last when it was finished, she kept the last position until it was okay to break free and go on with her business.

---

Daniel watched the ballet dancers twirl all about. He couldn't ever dance very well, so all this twirling and intricate dancing was a wonder to him. Simply, he was an actor and a quiet singer. Dancing, he wished he could do, but it wasn't his thing. His gorgeous eyes watched as the ballerinas finished up their routine, then shifted to looking at some of the lovely dancers who had just performed. Being infact a boy he thought they all looked rather esquisite and beautiful. He wasn't one to say girls were "hot" or "sexy". They were beautiful, gorgeous, and pretty. Dan liked the fact he got to stay in the Ballet Room (for the time being), but he wasn't a creeper. God no. He'd give them their privacy when they needed it, considering the majority of the dancers were girls.

Antoinette finished and waited patiently, her hands clasped in front of her patiently. Madame Giry nodded and walked in front of the girls. "Good job, ladies." She said in her thick French accent. Antoinette nodded her head. "Break time. You all need to be back at three. Everyone. The dancers, actors, actresses. Opening night is tomorrow." Madame said. // Erik hurried through a back door and escaped back to his underground room, using a small boat to row himself. He jumped onto land and looked around. He took off his mask and set it down.

Ren stood in third position waiting patiently for further instructions. She smiled kindly to herself and tiptoed off the stage. "Antoinette!" she called quietly, lightly running over to her. "What are you planning on doing between now and three?" she asked curiously, putting her arms and hands in a low fifth position. Ren had been dancing for so long that now even her normal standing stance was in one of the six foot positions and her arms in one of the five arm positions. She couldn't help it.

Bellona wandered over towards Ren and Antoinette. She flashed the girls a smiled and wiggled her fingers as she came to stand beside them. " Hello Ren,  Hello Antoinette." she chirped her greeting. Her eyes flicked between them, hoping she wasn't intruding on a private conversation.

The 25th anniversary at Royal Albert Hall is on Netflix, but I do not think the actual movie in on there. It can get kind of confusing on stage.)) Antoinette smiled and shrugged. "I'm not sure. Why? Do you have something planned?" She asked curiously. She looked at Ren. It got dreadfully boring doing nothing all day in the Opera House, and she was yearning to finally go out and do something fun. She bounced on her heels and looked at Bellona and smiled. "Hello, Bellona."
