La Nouche-FPC: L'oiseau Rare

 

Day 1
Found L'oiseau Rare, where Franc was last seen. Nice design, quiet place but many patrons.

Day 2
Surveyed the area. Dim lighting. Adequate settings. Stage sturdy and sound. A few VIP boxes for important people. A box for the band. Everything in its place. Good.

Day 3
Returned to survey the room of the star, Lucille. Lock easy to pick. Standard French-style dressing room for standard singers. Heard Lucille is one of a kind. Will find out soon enough. For now, found obscure place to hide in to watch Franc closely

Day 4
Meets Franc with Lucille trying out new disguises. She give him a funny bull-horn wig and laughed at how he look. Franc noticed me. Not sure whether he recognize me or not, but he didn’t alert Lucille to see me. It was a close call

Day 5
Watch Franc’s first day performing. Surprising that Franc can sing. Heard reports say he couldn’t even talk. No matter. He sounds beautiful, and patrons seemed impressed by his performance

Day 6
Listened in to Franc getting to know the band more and practicing their new songs for the next performance. Band doesn’t seem bothered by him not talking. Heard Lucille telling them Franc is a foreigner who doesn’t speak French. Perhaps that explains it

Day 7
Meet face to face with Franc when he is feeding strays. He recognizes me. Smiles at me, like saying thanks. I nodded back at him. We sit together playing with strays in silence. He leans against me. I lean back. We enjoy each other’s silence in comfort

Day 8
Franc has gotten popular, and harder to get reservation at table to observe him. Have to be away for the next week, so will submit these findings by tonight

Second assignment from The Flea Protection Committee : COMPLETE

La Nouche hasn’t spoken in a very, very long while, so she has trouble putting words together in her report, but at least her pictures did her justice
