GND 166 - Over the phone, Christine tells Sarah to ask Sherlock Holmes if Raoul's friend Arsène Lupin is to be trusted. Meanwhile, Sarah informs her that Agnes Nitt is going to cover for her classes, and that Skeep the Goblin, having seen Satine's movie, is eager to go to Paris as well.
Pika's text:
Because the wild music and visual extravaganza and frenetic editing of that Baz Luhrmann movie (stuff like this> [link] ) is NOT something you want to show impressionable and gender-confused Goblins.
... You can probably assume Erik was lurking around that gala evening. Don't strain your eyes, I didn't draw him in the crowd, and he was still hiding from Chris and Raoul at that point. but I daresay he was hidden nearby listening.
Agnes Nitt, aka Perdita X. Dream, is a character from Terry Pratchett's Maskerade, which is a glorious send-up of 'Phantom', and she is an exceptional singer who gets somewhat shafted during her stay at the Opera house...
And you can share in Sarah's oggling by googling a fine young French actor named Romain Duris. The 2004 movie version of Arsène mentioned here was a hot mess - the casting and costumes and set design were superb, the plot was meandering and terrible and couldn't make its mind up about whether it was showing a naive and just-starting-out Lupin, being manipulated by the Countess of Cagliostro (and this being a French movie, his initiation involves lots of sex with her...), or the suave hypercompetent gentleman thief he is traditionally depicted as. I do not recc'. But Romain Duris is a lovely young man. See if you can find 'Heartbreaker'/L'Arnacoeur.
And yes, ~AsheRhyder has already establised Nu!Holmes and Watson live in the Building.... which is why Arsène has never come visit over there.
