Strange Angel

. . .

Here...? Over the...devices?

[Please say no]

From:

[He's tempted to say yes. Just because. But he's not that much of a bastard.]

Where are you?

From:

The library.

[Oh thank the gods.]

From:

[Instead of answering on the comm, Erik goes to the library. Entering carefully and making sure he isn't seen.]

Sing.

From:

[She is quietly regarding her comm in confusion, waiting for a response that doesn't come. Instead, there is a disembodied voice in the room with her, and its one that doesn't leave roon for dalliance. She scrambles to her feet and snatches whatever piece of sheet music that was sitting on the piano, and starts to sing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIeCthPXJiw&sns=em).]

From:

[Erik listens, impressed. A lot of talent. A lot of potential. For that, she deserves a reward.

His steps are quiet and stops just shy of the piano. Turn around, Anna. Your angel is waaaiting.]

From:

[She lets her voice trail off with the last few notes, vibrato echoing quietly through the library.

Anna turns when she hears his steps, setting the music down slowly.]

Ah...hello, Erik.

*...you are so being watched now, creepy sack boy :/*

From:

[He's spying that keycard on the piano. He's spying it and thinking maybe he wants it. But to get it, he'll have to distract his target. And what better way to do that than with hypnotizing vocals? So he steps closer to her, reaches for her hand with his gloved one and sings a portion of Music of the Night.]

From:

[Stalker being stalked? :o. Also fffft, Erik's not worried. He's been a closet stalker since before you were born boi >:|]

From:

ntjstapwn

*There will be a show down this time >B|*

From:

[....

He's singing to her. Someone...is singing to her. She numbly lets him take her hand, eyes wide with shock. Noone..had ever done this before. Distracted? Oh, definitely.]

From:

[lol u mad?]

From:

ntjstapwn

*Well, he will be when he finds out Erik is actually stalking/has taken Anna's keycard.

...though Mun thinks it'd be awesome if Erik followed Anna to Marco's room at some point, since Marco's so secretive about where it is :3*

From:

[Good. Gooood. So maybe this means she'll let him guide her, turn her around until she is standing in front of him with her back to the piano and his arm wrapping around her waist. No super mega groping action, but it's pretty damn close. With his free hand, he blindly feels behind him until he finds what he searching for and secures it.]

From:

[He probably will. Since Erik basically follows Anna everywhere. It won't make a difference to him though, since his heart still belongs to Christine ]

From:

[That is exactly what that means, and soon enough she will find her back pressed right up him. She has no idea that he is jacking her card. In fact shes even going along with him.]

From:

[Raoul isn't terribly good at keeping his word when said word doesn't suit him, like the one about leaving the Phantom alone if left alone in return. Habit sees him listening in (or reading in, as it were) on Erik's broadcast and making his way to the library as well.

He moves slowly and quietly, moving behind the farthest bookshelves to a spot where he can see and hear. When he gets to that spot... suddenly, it's just like the night of Don Juan Triumphant. That voice is just as hypnotic as before, but Raoul knows the danger of being ensnared by it and resists being charmed. He has to, for he sees Erik with his hands on Anna just as he did with Christine... though, chance would have it, he's at just the wrong angle to see him swiping the key card.]

Up to your old tricks again, Phantom?

From:

[He has his prize and he was just about to let her go anyway, before his nosy arch-nemesis had to show up. GDIT, Raoul, we had a deal. Get out. He knows he won't be able to keep his hold on Anna with Raoul's voice there to distract her. So he holds her long enough to whisper something to her. Something he's almost sure she won't fully understand because she's still caught under his spell. He hopes anyway.]

Your chains are now mine.

From:

[Anna is very much distracted by Erik, but the arrival of a new voice starts to pull her out of her reverie. She thinks maybe she catches something Erik says that would probably alarm her on a normal basis, but it's sort of fuzzy and garbled. She shakes her head with a mild frown as she tries to focus on the newcomer.]

...

Raoul?

From:

ntjstapwn

*~~give him time, maybe he'll move on if she doesn't come back to the ship~~ good >B<*

From:

[Raoul takes the vague response as a "Please come and help me!" and moves quickly towards the piano.]

Get away from her, Phantom!

From:

[Erik obeys which should be completely suspect, though instead of leaving, he steps in front of Anna, a protective arm in front of her.]

What business do you have here, Vicomte?

From:

[~~NEVAR HIS HEART WILL ALWAYS BE CHRISTINE'S FOREVER. okay maybe he will.~~ Yeah good B|]

From:

[Anna's still a little out of it from what just happened, so she's pushed back with little resistance.]

It...it is fine.

[She's very well aware of the animosity here.]

From:

[There's no rope as far as he can see, so Raoul doesn't hesitate to confront Erik face to face and giving him an excellent view of those black eyes. What do you think, Erik?]

Keeping you from pulling another woman into your grasp.

[Sorry, Anna, you're going to have to be much more obtrusive to get between Raoul and his rival.]

From:

This does not concern you, boy.

[Animosity? What animosity. This is allllll love here.

Also, Raoul those eyes. You'd fit right in the circus.]

From:

He is...not pulling me anywhere.

[She steps out from behind Erik's back, finally coherent enough to frown at both of them.]

He is my teacher.

From:

[Pshaw. Raoul's too pretty for the circus. Unlike Erik.]

That's what Christine said before she learned the truth of what he is.

[His voice totally did not catch on the name Christine. It's all in your mind.]

From:

[How about I fix your face so you're not pretty anymore B|]

The boy is delusional.

[His eyes are fixed firmly on Raoul.]

From:

[...She looks from one to the other, then carefully steps between them.]

Perhaps...it is best this meeting is adjourned?

[Bad boys. Go back to your rooms.]

From:

[You're not his mom, Anna B|]

It would be for the better.

[Raoul doesn't move an inch.]

From:

[Erik doesn't budge either.]

Then be on your way, Vicomte.

From:

[...Well. That didn't work. Stuck in the middle much, Anna? She has no idea what to say, ffff.]

From:

After you.

[Forget them, Anna. They are going to stand here forever and die together.]

From:

I insist.

From:

...

[Yeeeeah this will be Anna edging away. Totally awkward situation right here.]

Ah...have a good evening, both of you.
