Who: Raoul and Obi-wan, Raoul and Erik
What: M. de Chagny has recently purchased a theatre that's fallen into disrepair. Both Obi-wan and Erik offered to do construction on the building, but first they must see it. Two appointments between Raoul and his potential employees.
When: Monday and Tuesday mornings (backdated)
Where: Raoul's (currently unnamed) theatre
Rating: low, just talking business
Status: in-progress
When he wasn't spending his time getting reacquainted with his childhood girlfriend friend, Raoul spent his time roaming his newly aquired theatre. He didn't have the technical expertise to inspect for renovations himself (that is why he was looking to hire people), but he wanted to know all he ins and outs, the entire layout of the place, before allowing anyone else to get a good look at it. This theatre might just be a side project, part of a much larger plan, to Raoul's brother (Philippe Comte de Chagny), but to Raoul, it meant so much more. All he had to to was find the very employees to help take care of it.
The front of the theatre was in the style of colonnade façade that was more common on the east coast. The exterior was simpler than some theatres in the OC and in desperate need of cleaning, but once restored, it would be beautiful again and imposing in its own right.
But it was through the front doors and into the foyer that the theatre became more impressive. Although occupying a much smaller space, the interior design was modeled to resemble the Palais Garnier (the distinctive Paris Opera house). It was like a little bit of home to Raoul who'd spent many nights in the Opéra with his brother. The similarities even continued to the stage, however on a much more modest scale and a couple tiers shorter.
To bring himself back to the present, Raoul forced himself to focus on the matter at hand. Early morning on Monday and Tuesday, the Vicomte had scheduled appointments to meet with Obi-wan Kenobi and Erik Garnier to discuss potential renovations and employment. He unlocked the doors at 8am sharp on each of these days and sat at a counter near the door to fill out paperwork while waiting for his contractors to arrive.
