[After...party?] I would give anything, but for the grace of God I'm here and still aware
[So that... certainly happened. Christine ran along with everyone else to escape the suffocating smoke, slamming the doors behind them in the hope it would slow the flames down. She tries not to see sticky beer-stained carpet as she runs, tries to hear the voices of her newfound friends, rather than the screams of teenagers, but it's certainly difficult.
She only stops to hastily throw open the door to Steven's room and let out Lion with them, but otherwise retreats into the gardens before... letting herself watch the opera house in silence.
Thankfully, it doesn't end with as much damage as the last fire Christine experienced. In time, she can stop shaking and unfold the note still clenched in her hand. And then she looks back at the opera house with... a different kind of fear on her face.
A fear so deep that when Mephisto and Anne finally start suggesting the possibility of returning inside, she's up on her feet in an instant.]
Meeting in the woman's first floor washroom. Give me ten minutes and I'll be there.
[Before anyone can argue with her, she runs off, hoping she sounded firm enough for them to follow her request.
She and Lion move to Stephen's room first to acquire whatever notes might still be there, but she's returns to the bathroom soon enough, all the papers now collected in her binder.]
Okay. We're probably freaked out. God knows I still am. And I want to encourage you to leave when you need to, take a break if this all gets to be too much. But I think... I think I speak for everyone- [Finally, finally she can speak for everyone. Her voice is strong enough now.] - when I say this.
[Her knuckles go white around her binder and her eyes spark back to life.]
We are not letting that fucking Wizard win anymore. So let's talk time loops.

Can you ask him when he can meet this lady next? Maybe we can find out what those presents were from her before we get to the Phantom's lair again.
no subject
[ She taps her chin. ]
Last weekend he said he was thinking of walking into traffic to get her to show up... I don't know what he did this time but...
[ Tilting her head a little. ]
I'll try asking but I really worry about him, you know?
[ time to get another text out though ]
no subject
[Her confusion over what gifts she could have meant is vastly overshadowed by their texting friend's willingness to put himself in danger!]
The Phantom did say he didn't control what came out of the merch booth, though... maybe something in there was a gift? Probably the stuff from our worlds?
no subject
Like my swords, you think?
no subject
[Hell yeah, ladies with swords. Christine is a little bewildered (shouldn't those just be stage props?) but beams.]
I mean, I'd say those are a bit more useful than my binder and gel pens.
