GND 276 - Liz ejects Jack (to go harass Gibbs, Hector or his 'at least four ex-girlfriends') and teaches Skeep the Goblin to make a G&T. Christine & Sarah discuss possible wedding plans & Erik's relationship with Mag. Meanwhile Raoul skypes with Arsène.
Pika's text:
Good luck figuring your thing out, Daaé-De Chagny. At least Raoul has the "filthy rich" part of the 50SoG fantasy covered.
Can't recall if I established this outside of some comment discussion, but in case it needs clarification: at this point, besides wanting to finish her doctorate first, Christine is super leery that Raoul and her getting married is a step towards "Love Never Dies" characterization and will trigger that whole mess "happening"/having happened, in-comic.
But Vegas is an original-musical-friendly town, and! Paris is FINALLY showing a French-language version of POTO on stage (huzzah for finally recognizing the merits of that bit of their own pop culture), so maybe the main story and its canon happy/bittersweet/sane ending is getting, in RL, a boost and more "weight" to counter the LND threat on the meta-awareness plane.
(I am so sorry. Deadlines and general busyness and new book release and forgetting how much of a commitment a weekly post is! Also I hit a bit of narrative dry patch in this sequence - originally I was going to play around with Captain Jack Sparrow a little, then I kinda realized that between disappointing sequels and Johnny Depp's latest acting-up, I was not having fun with the character. :/ Next part, won't be next week, but hopefully closer-posted.)
