Phantom Of The Opera (Mystery Legends)

Look the part

Ok, get the roses, give them to the phsyco, then leave. Shouldn't be hard. Wait. Its too dark to see anything. Is there some kind of switch for the lights, or candles?

Just as Evalina was thinking, she spotted a room behind the conccesion counter.
She quickly bunched the end of her dress, and hopped over.
Cautiously, she made her way to the door, grasping its handle firmly. Thinking it was going to be a chore opening the damn thing, she yanked it wide open; breaking the hinges.

After choking on the dust, she saw that in fact this room was a closet; keeping the once wealthy's jackets, fur coats, scarfs, and other belongings up in racks or bins.

Interesting. So much stuff. Makes me wonder what exactly happened here.

As Evalina scoped the room, her eyes landed on a tin box that was firmly on the wall.

"Oh! A fuse box! Finally. I'll be able to at least see what I am doing...... Ok so this goes here... I place this there...aannndd..you've got to be kidding me! Where is the last piece?!"
While searching, Evalina came accross a newspaper clip showing a chandelier and a young woman next to it.

"Tragedy strikes the Opera populaire when a young woman is crushed by a chandelier; besides the singer's, the opera's jewel. Witnesses say that they saw a unkown figure flee from the site, making the authorities believe that this was no accident.......oh my, poor girl.....wait...opera populair..why didn't i remember before! Mother use to talk about a certain theater where she used to sing at.... Could this be the same place mother was talking about?"

Evalina grabbed a bag that was perfect for collecting items, then placed the news clip into it. She then spotted her missing piece.
***************************
"Ok..... 'and god said let there be light; and there was light'."
The closet soon lit up.... Well, it was light enough to see, not at all in any way the sun, but it was something evalina could work with.

If I'm going to be searching through this artifact, I better be at least better equipped. A nice dress, shoes, and jewelery won't help me.

With that in mind, Evalina took some of the closets goods to better use.

Instead of her beautiful, wavy, choclate hair cascading over her shoulders, it was tied back with a black ribbon. She couldn't do much to her dress, but she did made it shorter and at least movable.

In place of her heels, she wore a servants boots that were still intact. Her jewelry was put in her bag, along with matches she found in a corner.

Just then, a cold wind wafted in the room, causing Evalina to shiver.

She then grabbed a scarf. It was the only thing she could use, seeing as time and the moths destroyed all of the jackets and coats.

With a deep breath, she walked out feeling prepared and ready to win.

Not yet realizing that the pair of black eyes from earlier was watching her every move.
