A/N: I am very sorry about this. But I've just gotten these weird urges to write random blabber this week. It's probably an idea done before but I know that if I don't write it, my muse shall wither. So voila!

I'm not sure if this is a one-shot or not, so some feedback would be pleasant. If there are none – a one shot it is!

Thanks a lot!

DISCLAIMERS: Anything you recognise is not mine. The 'Phantom Phone' - I saw this in a backstage video with Ramin, I believe...it may not have been him. BUT! Let's continue...

E –

I m bcmig infuratd by ths devic Nadr – wy is it so dffcult t tpe?

N –

Erik, I believe you could use your autocorrect to make your job much easier. Would you like me to pay you a visit to show you how it is done?

E –

No need, I seemed to have found my way. It is my gloves that hindered the sensitivity of this screen. Now that I have removed them, my thumbs are rather adaptable.

N –

That's a pleasure to hear. I purchased this for you to make sure you are in contact at all times.

E –

And now I shall. Perhaps I shall send my notes through 'text messaging' from now on.

N –

But you can't. You do not have their numbers.

E –

But you do.

N –

I shall not give them to you! If you want numbers, you must ask for them!

E –

You're clever, Persian. But your aptitude lacks proficiency as there is no need for me to take them as I already have them.

N –

You stole the numbers off my phone yesterday, didn't you! The nerve.

E –

I copied them. I could not steal them. They are still there – are they not?

N –

But my phone possesses a password to access!

E –

Even my cat could have deciphered such a predictable key.

N –

I cannot believe it.

E – [13:09]

Change it if you wish. I have all that I require. Are you visiting tonight?

[13:10] – Fine, be childish Nadir. I shall see you shortly.

N -

You do not know I am visiting. Not after such a breach of privacy!

E-

You will.

N –

I will not.

E –

If you wish to lie to yourself…I shall see you shortly.

E –

Nadir, I seemed to have lost my muse.

N –

Why so? Has little Miss Daaé tiptoed off on a field trip?

E –

No, she is right here.

N –

You're watching her right now?

E –

Yes. But I see no flourish in my musical urges. I don't believe this is normal. What I feel is this undeniable push in my stomach – quite alien actually.

N –

That sounds rather concerning, Erik. Do you hold any other symptoms?

E –

No, but I have become rather delusional. I seemed to be attracted to the overweight woman feeding the cast. When I watch her, I feel rather uplifted.

N –

Erik, for God's sake man. You are hungry.

E –

Ah, that would explain things.

N –

You forgot to eat once more? Did I not lecture you on such an unhealthy lifestyle?

E –

Music is food.

N –

It is not! It does not fill you and give you the nutritional needs you require! Erik, please do save this text in case of future 'symptom scares.'

E –

Hunger is rather discomfiting. Perhaps I should gratify it in the kitchens.

N –

Please do. I am coming over.

E –

Why? There is no need. I can find the Kitchens myself.

N –

You always say that and you never eat.

E –

A fair conclusion. I shall see you then.

E –

I am about to send my very first text to someone other than yourself. I must say, it is rousing me more than it should.

N –

Good, I supposed that is good to hear. Who are you planning to harass?

E –

I am 'text messaging' – not harassing.

N –

Apologies. Who is it? Please, do not tell me it's that boy.

E –

What boy?

N –

The new patron of the opera. The boy you told me has the perfect neck radius for your lasso.

E –

No, I am not messaging the Vicomte.

N –

Oh good, I am pleased to hear that.

E –

At least, not in that name.

N – [16:24]

What is that supposed to mean?

[16:26] – Erik?

Sent to: Le Fop

[16:27]

E –

Bonjour, is this the Vicomte De Chagny by any chance?

LF –

Why? Who is asking?

E –

Ah, so it is you.

LF –

Who is this? How did you acquire my number?

E –

Questions, questions. Now listen, le fop. I believe we have a little predicament we must solve together.

LF –

Le fop?

E –

Calm yourself, little toddler. A fop is a dandy. In fact, locate a reflective surface and you will find a perfect example right there before your very eyes.

LF –

You fiend.

E –

FIEND? FIEND? I am no fiend, brother. YOU are the fiend. How does purchasing the Opera Populaire bestow you the chance to STEAL my greatest creation? She is mine, you foolish boy. You have nothing against what I have.

LF –

I have no idea what you ARE TALKING ABOUT! But I tell you – real men do not solve predicaments in text form.

E –

Real men do not have mediocre voices and diluted, weak-willed, tasteless personalities either.

LF –

Who ARE YOU!

E –

Guess.

LF –

You are the OPERA GHOST AREN'T YOU! Come to frighten me.

E –

I'm genuinely shocked you actually resolved such an elementary sum, Vicomte. From what I have observed, your intellectual prowess stretches as far as your musical talent.

LF –

I do not accept such preposterous untruths from a man hiding in shadows! STOP messaging me now!

E –

I believe I shall, Vicomte. I seemed to have found some flecks on my shoulder that require brushing off.

LF –

I will find you, ghost.

E – [16:45]

Until you do, I shall stare at my ceiling. Au Revoir, sweet, monotonous prince. I shall wait for the day you come and rescue me from my slumber.

[16:48] – But of course, knowing your scholarly doings – I probably shall have a lengthy wait in my hands. If, at all.

[16:50] – Stay away from her Raoul De Chagny. Consider yourself warned.

N –

You are worrying me by not answering my messages.

E –

Calm yourself, dear. I have just finished a conversation.

N –

Erik, I am serious. Please do not use this phone to hassle others. It is meant to be for your safety and communication.

E –

I understand. And I did not HASSLE him, I simply told him to stay away.

N –

You threatened the theatre's patron.

E-

Yes. I have the conversation here if you wish to read it. It's rather interesting. I could just imagine his boyish eyes widening as I humiliated him.

N –

Erik.

E –

It is not my fault that degrading him gives me pleasure.

N –

What? That's not right Erik. No.

E –

It is correct. I have the right to find pleasure in things– it's like those quirks in your lips give you pleasure.

N –

You mean when I smile?

E –

Yes, that is the one.

N –

Excuse me, Erik? Are you wearing your gloves again?

E-

Apologies, Nadir. The cat seems to have taken a liking to the glowing screen and attacked it while I was sidetracked.

N –

Oh, alright. And – it is late, please get some sleep.

Sent to Nadir Khan

[03:32]

E –

Nadir, I have just woken from a short sleep and I have received a worrying message.

[03:34] - Persian. Wake yourself.

N –

Erik, it is rather early in the morning. Could it not wait?

E –

No.

N –

Okay, so what is this worrying message?

E –

It says that I do not have much 'credit' left. What is this credit? And why am I deficient? Should I be concerned? I am disconcerted.

N –

Oh. Credit is the texts, Erik. Please do not text anymore – I want you to use it in case of emergencies in the next few hours. You probably have wasted a lot now, so no more alright?

E –

Alright.

N –

Erik! Please!

E –

Apologies.

N –

ERIK!

[03:37] – Sleep well, Erik.

A/N: So yes! Please R/R if you can. I enjoyed that so I may continue it. Thanks a lot and sorry for the randomness.
