"I assure you, the so-called hero, Ladybug and her tagalong sidekick try with disgusting regularity, heedless of those who might be hurt in its destruction. But on the other hand, it does seem as though this place has a liking for Parisians. With Bending, I am certain that the Palais Garnier can be rebuilt for you, my new friend."

[A musical laugh, that somehow manages to come from behind you, Paps. No small feat given it came from a device....or did it?]

Do you often befriend voices, Monsieur? Careful, that leads to madness.

Or perhaps, madness has already lead you to it.

[A very matter-of-fact tone this time, as the voice continues, rather blandly. Someone is wholly unimpressed with talks of ladybirds or other insects, heroic or otherwise.]

I built it once. I will build it again. It is my Opera, after all.

"Good. It would be a nice change to have some proper culture here." [Yeah, totally not responding to the rest, but filing away the info.]

[operaghosted]

[Erik was vaguely amused.]

A fan of the arts? I am surprised you have not taken measures to create something yourself, Monsieur. Building an Opera or a museum an academy dedicated to the arts...

Ah, but, I would guess you are something of an aristo. You would likely rather hand money over to someone else.

A pity that skill of the titled class is wholly useless here.

[Mm. Yes. He is calling you rich and useless.]

"You say it like talent is a choice, monsieur. I am one who can lend aid, yes. I can help in all manner of ways, though not in all. I rather lack in talent for the arts, for all I have the appreciation. I also have appreciation for the arts that are accessible for those who also lack the funds. You are a man of charity, one presumes?"

[Tag. Sucker.]

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[operaghosted]

[Erik quite smoothly twists Paps words to use them for his own means.]

Many owe their very lives to my charitable nature. The managers at the Opera pay me a salary to thank me for my generosity.

[Blackmail is a wonderful thing.]

Of course, here, it would seem that all one would have is talent. I imagine those with limited creativity are at the mercy of those more gifted.

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[papaillon]

"And what shall you do with those now at your mercy?" [Egging on a fellow villain, oh yes.]

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[operaghosted]

Perhaps you are accustomed to spilling your innermost thoughts to voices, Monsieur, but, I feel that would be poor practice.

[There are few people Erik trusts. You, are not one of them, Paps, sorry.]

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[papaillon]

"And yet you were the one to broadcast to the network, my good sir."

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[operaghosted]

You've heard what I wanted you to hear. It is hardly my fault if you jump to conclusions.

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[papaillon]

"I had been under the impression that an artist was meant to shape how we think and react, at least... those with skill."

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[operaghosted]

If you are so weak-minded that the influence of my words sways you...

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[papaillon]

"Oh, your at is only enough to sway the weak minded?"

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[operaghosted]

They are the easiest, admittedly.

But, you have neither heard nor seen any of my art.

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[papaillon]

"I rather suspect I never will."

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[operaghosted]

Likely not, Monsieur. You do not seem to be capable of appreciating much beyond a Punch and Judy show.

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[papaillon]

"Well that matches as you don't seem to be capable of anything at all beyond that."

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[operaghosted]

In order to dupe someone into rising to bait, Monsieur, you must first be certain you are above them.

I'll clear up the misunderstanding now. You are not.

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[papaillon]

[Cue evil laugh.]

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[operaghosted]

Fascinating and skillful rebuttal, Monsieur.

Re: (Audio)(anon.)(locked)

[papaillon]

[With a grin, he cut the connection. He got all he needed from this. A measure of the new man.]
