A/N: Thanks to any who have fallowed my story thus foar. As for my other story, I will get new chapters up as soon as I can put the peaces together as it wore so please bare with me till then. As always I own northern.
The next day after launtch I wen't strate to my computer as always and as always there was a letter waiteing for me.
Mademoiselle,
That is very kind of you to say. However I must warn you that I do not have time for pity, and so if that is all you feel towards me, then I will tell you that you can stop wasting your time on me. I grew used to being an outsider a long time ago, to the point where it usually does not bother me. Usually.
So, you are a stagehand of sorts? I trust you are a far better one than most around here. But yes, I do see how the theater might draw you to itself, as it did to me. It is okay that you have not yet performed. Every role, whether on or off the stage, is vital to each performance, provided it is done well. And so I would say to you to keep working on what you do best, and you can only get even better at it.
Good day.
O.G.
Apparently he forgot that I said that there were no theaters here and so it would be ofely hard to be a stage hand when there as no stage to work on or around. But then with everything elce that is posibly going one how was he gonna remember a tetae like the lack of a theater. A for pity, why on earth would I do that? He sertinly didn't seem like the tipe to me who needed it. The only time I felt bad for him at all was only in serten seens and even that, anny romel person wold feel like that if a pirson they cared about went thougth stuff like those few seens. So as always I wrote back.
Sir,
I think you misunderstand stand me. If you really think my interest is one of pity, then your mistaken. Lord nose you don't need it. I just, I don't know. But are interesting at the vary least. Exactly why I honestly can't say. Maybe part of is do to the fat that the one version of your story I see most often has at least a couple songs that I'd at least like to think could be surviving works of yours. Well Okay the one would have to be seeing as the person who sings it dose so while preforming as you. But the other isn't sung by him, so it may or may not be you's, but as I said. I'd like to think it is. This isn't to say that it's the only reason, It's just part of it. As for the theater, sadly as I had already pointed out, we don't have one were I live. If we did then I surreality would be there to help out.

The rest of the week went pretty much as fallows. Sleep though the morening, eath lunch, read then reply to letter fallowed by the rest of the days computer activitys, eat dinner, mor computer then sleep. I repeated tis proses for the next 6 days with only a change to the sceduel on sunday and wednesday, in wich I actuly did leave the house for a while. At any rate the leterds went as fallows.
Saterday:
Mademoiselle,
You mean to say that...my music...has survived into your time and place? If that is true, then you have indeed given me new hope. I can at least compose my music knowing that it is not for nothing, and that the world will hear it. Thank you.
Your friend,
O.G.
Sir,
I can't exactly say how much of it has survived seeing as they only used 2 that I know of. Assuming that is, that Masquerade is yours. personally, given that the tune is actually herd a Little in a music box that, I think would most likely be a replica by this pointnt. But then the song did, so who knows. At any rate there is also the full lyrical version that is in one seen. I would think that it would be a high possibility that it would be yours. But only you would know that for sure. Nun the less it is one of my favorites from the performance. Mind you I still hold it in the kind of regard that few if any may have then. The only other one is Music of the Night. Which as I said is sung by the person in your role, so it's kind of a given I'd thing But certainly vary pretty. The way the man sings it, makes it really pretty to so I'm sure that's appreciated. Unfortunately I currently know of no other works. If there are any more that survived. But who knows, it's certainly a possibility. The only thing I know for sure is that if there are any others, and given the chance to. I certainly would listen to them.
Sincerely,
Shannon.
Sunday:
Mademoiselle Shannon,
Those two songs which you mentioned are the closest to my heart. My music box has been a comfort to me ever since childhood. Yes, I did in fact write that song. It was the first one I wrote, and I gave a copy of it to Monsieur Reyer, as it was he who taught me how to write music. I am deeply honored that it has survived long enough for you to be touched by it.
As for Music of the Night, yes, that is also my song. I am anxious to hear this man who portrays me, to see if he does it justice. But if it is how you have described it, then I approve. I am thankful that you are able to hear the beauty in that song of darkness. That is exactly how I meant it to be.
I must go now, as more songs are waiting to be written. Perhaps they,too, will survive long enough for you to hear them. I very much hope so.
Your Friend,
O.G.
Sir,
Sorry about the being a day late, yesterday was kinda wone of those days when my mind was dstracted for some reason. As for doing the role and song justis, I think he does. As far as the song is concerned, there have been times when I actually came close to falling asleep listening to it. That's actually a good thing when it comes to this song though. As for the portrayal, if he didn't do it justis I don't think I would get as emotionally involved as I do when watching it. I wish you could see the portrayal and here the song, but as of right now I know of no way for it to happin. As for your other music, If they do survive I hope I do get to hear them some day. It truly is a shame though, that those with true talint aren't appreciated in there own time.
Sincerely,
Shannon
Monday:
"Mademoiselle,
Unfortunately, that seems to be the normal thing for artists and composers to not have their work appreciated until after their death. Yes, it is a shame, but that just seems to be how it is.
As for what you described to me regarding your reaction to that song, yes, that is the reaction I was hoping for. It has always lulled me to sleep after one of my countless nightmares.
~O.G."
Sir,
I really wish I could help with them, but even if I were there I don't think there would but much I could do or say that would help.
Sincerely,
Shannon
Tuseday:
"Mademoiselle,
As they say, it is the thought that counts, and I thank you. What you can do is seek out artists who are still alive where and when you are from and support them in any way possible. Show them that they are appreciated. I am sure they will be as grateful as I would be in their position.
Sincerely,
O.G."
Sir,
I certainly will when given the chance to. All though, about 3 or 4 years ago there had bin a displayed in our library from local artists. If I could have, I would have bought something then. All though, where I would have put it is another matter. Still, I would have told them that I liked there work if they had bin there when I was. On a different note, I wonder if they started working on the stuff for the opera yet? Never actually seen a hole opera before. I saw a ballet once and that was a lot of fun to watch though.
Sincerely,
Shannon
Wednesday:
Mademoiselle Shannon,
Oh yes, they have most certainly started working on the sets and costumes for the opera. It seems my unwritten instructions were enough to spark interest in them without me having to resort to my usual measures of getting things done.
I am very sorry to hear that you have never had the privilege of seeing an opera. If only there was a way for you to get here the same way your messages do. I would certainly see that you get the best seat possible. A ballet is fairly close, however it lacks the singing that an opera has. I certainly hope that you do get the opportunity to see an opera someday. You will not be sorry that you did.
Your friend,
O.G.
Sir,
Yes, it certainly seamed to. All though, every time I see that seen I can't help but grin, all though it might be a bit more of a smirk of sorts but still. Just watching there expressions, the best way I can think to describe it is like when watching an arrogant person finely has there ego deflated. Is it the grated comparison? maybe not, but it's the best I can think of. As for me being there, If there were a way to get there I would definitely would take it.
Sincerely,
Shannon
Therday:
Mademoiselle Shannon,
Ha! That is a perfect comparison! Those managers had to learn who's opera house this really is. They kept tearing up my notes. I had to do something. I'm glad to see that someone finally agrees with me!
If you would like, I could attempt to enclose a copy of my opera with a later note. I would just need time to copy it over. It is the best I can do...
Your friend,
O.G.
How sweet, That would be nice but were would I be able to play the music form the opera, who would praform it for that matter? This aside, there was a biger problume, I new what was comming and that the chances of that copy being mad was slim. but should I tell him, could I. I new if I did it could afect the corse of history more so then our curent letters may have. But still I wanted to try and change it so bad. But the question wasn't realy could I, but reather should I change it?
