((Yeesh, all of a sudden, everybody posted! Shadow Chaser, please read the rules about joining the RP!
Waaauugghh!! crying Come back to the Haunted Music Box!!!))
Midnight approached and slowly the customers trickled out, returning to their own times and places. Christoph tended the bar, filling empty glasses, making light conversation, being a friend to all his customers. From time to time, he would glance to the door, seeming to expect someone to enter. He was concerned about the young people who'd left the bar soon after playing such a beautiful song together. One of his limitations included not being allowed to help anyone outside of the bar. As long as they stayed in the Haunted Music Box, he could keep them safe. Once they set foot outside of it, they were on their own. It was one of the reasons Christoph treated his customers so well and insisted that all of his employees did, too. Most had a tragic story, and many were not loved anywhere else but there. Christoph cared about them, but could only show that compassion in the bar. Part of the price of being the owner of the Haunted Music Box.

Christoph buffed the bar top and glanced at the door again. Still nobody came through. The man in the half mask from earlier sat down at the bar. "A glass of wine, please. Whatever is your best." Christoph smiled and bowed, pulling out a bottle with a faded label. He poured out the wine with his usual flair for the dramatic, and presented it with a flourish. The masked man accepted it quietly and sipped it, listening to the current player on the stage. They played a mournful trumpet solo, reaching up to the highest notes with ease. Christoph glanced yet again at the door. The masked man noticed this and asked in French, "Waiting for someone?" Christoph sighed and smiled sadly. "I don't expect anyone, but yes, I am, Erik. Remember those young people who performed before you? I feel as if something terrible has happened to them." His French was equally perfect, as all the languages he spoke were. Erik nodded and sipped at his wine. "Young people usually do get themselves in trouble." Christoph glanced irritably at Erik. "You're not helping. Did you hear how talented they were? As the self-proclaimed Angel of Music, even you must see that." Erik didn't respond to this except to sip again from his wine. Christoph turned away and went to refill the cup of another customer.
