The Rose & The Nightingale - directed by Eliza

Right, now the member of the month, once R&N has been opened a month and is up and running, is decided by various things. The first thing: Activity. A member must be active with the site, meaning they come on at least once or twice every other day to check posts and reply to the people they're posting with. Two: they're involved with what's going on with the site. That means anything out of character or in character. If there's a change going on, they're giving feedback on it, or if we've started a poll for opinions on something, they've voted and replied, etc., etc. Over all just being involved. Thirdly: They're kind and respectful to the other players in OOC, the one that can be viewed by everyone. That includes the Cbox, the game board, and anything in the OOC categories. They're also willing to help members or guests that have questions if the admins aren't online to do it themselves
Ah, Paris. Life in Victorian France is enjoyable. Quiet and calm with only the occasional disaster (if you could even call it that!) to disturb your peace. A beautiful city with wonderful smells, music, and people. Any stranger on the street would tell you there's no place he'd rather be than Paris, France.

Paris is home to many wonderful attractions, big and small. One of the most well known is the Palais Garnier: The Paris Opera House.

Many flock to the Opera in search of fame, hoping to become known to all of France, to have their name and picture on the signs and boards, to be the stars of famous operas and attract people from all over the country to the shows.

On the outside, the Opera House seems quiet and calm. But the inside is quite different. Chatter is always abuzz, gossip floating in the air like a thick cloud of smog. Rumors fly through the Opera House like a well-bred race horse: at top speed.

The most current rumor happens to be that of the Opera's infamous Ghost haunting the halls and corridors. The current managers, Monsieurs Poligny and Debienne have retired and left the Opera in the hands of two new managers, Andre and Firmin. The story of their expeditions with the infamous Phantom of the Opera have only just begun.

What will you be to Victorian Paris? A shopkeeper? A wealthy spouse? Law enforcement, or simply your every day civillian?

Or will you be one of those who dreams of the stage? A ballerina, perhaps, or maybe you search for something more, something along the lines of diva.

Whatever you wish to be, it can happen here.

Welcome to Paris, France: the home of The Paris Opera House and its Phantom.
