Amat Goodbye Notes
Nov. 1st, 2012 11:49 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
All letters are dated to October 30th, being written preemptively for just such an unfortunate occasion. There are other letters dated much earlier for people who have long-since disappeared. Didi. Francois. Rachel. Hershel. But there's not much point to them now, is there?
Note: Meister isn't as eloquently worded in writing as he is when speaking, hence the slight awkwardness in some of his phrasing.
General (to be read over the network)
Hello one and all. I'm afraid the time has come for me to return home, although I wish I could stay. I also wish I could do this in a song instead of a letter. You all deserve one final number from me. I couldn't have asked for a better audience, or better friends. I got to have a life here that I'll never get in Gotham. And even when you did find out about my past, you accepted me anyway. You were still my friends. That means a lot.
Ryan Evans is now in charge of the opera house. I trust him to maintain it and keep everyone entertained. So don't fret, I won't be taking the opera house with me. I hope I get to come back and join everyone again for the next Halloween Masquerade. I wish Kurt, Blaine and the Glee Club the best of luck as well. They're definitely worth watching too, so make sure you do once they're up and running again.
Thank you, all of you, from the bottom of my heart. So long and good night.
Opera House Employees
I'm going to miss you all. Throughout the high notes and the low, I couldn't have asked for more talented people to back me up. I'm happy to have worked with you and I'm proud of what we all did together. Ryan is in charge now, and I want you to listen to him and give him the same respect you gave me.
I hope I get to return to the stage one day, but until then break a leg my friends, and thank you.
Black Canary
[The phantom erasure image of 'Canary' is seen beneath her name.] Dinah, as much as I was hurt by what you did, I didn't hate you. I was hurt that you didn't believe Hershel and I after all we'd been through. And then Rapunzel came along while we were apart. I don't regret being with her but I hated seeing us fall apart all the same. I missed you even though I saw you often enough. I still have feelings for you and I think I always will.
Ryan Evans will be given the opera house, but you and Rapunzel will be in charge of my personal belongings. (Try to get along.) You get Staccato. She gets passed along again to be another memento. For the rest of my things and my money, you and Rapunzel can take what you please. Give most of what remains to the opera house and the shelter for new arrivals. I met Hershel and others at the shelter, but I don't think I paid them back. I don't like giving up things but I do owe them, don't I?
Give some money to the following local businesses: [A list of about four native shops] I secretly robbed them when I had my powers. They didn't even know I did it. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't know when I could. It was a few years ago, they probably don't even remember that it happened. It also happened before you came and before Hershel helped me. If you'll only ever believe one thing I say, it's that that was the only time I used my powers as a villain here.
More important than things here on Atia though, I hope you can find a way to not hate me again when you return to Gotham too. I'll be back to the way I was, and probably thrown in Arkham. I hope Megamind was right - that I'll get my test of character and pass it. Maybe then you can trust me again at least. You're a one of a kind woman and I was glad to have you for a time.
I'll see you soon, dear birdie.
Atia
While I can't say I was happy with everything you did, or especially with having my loved ones plucked from my life, I'm still very grateful for what you did. Thank you for bringing me here and letting me have a better life, a better chance, than the one I have in Gotham. I wish you'd let me stay. I hope you remember the ballad I wrote for you. And that you remember me.
Edel
You've been an excellent friend to me, Edel. I'm so glad to have known you. If I was conductor around here, I'd bring Hershel back for you, or send you to him. I'd do the same for myself too and we could see him together. I will miss you so much my friend. Don't ask me how but I will. I hope I get to see you again one day.
Thank you for everything.
Link
I know things got quiet between us, but you never stopped being like a little brother to me. Although sometimes I looked up to you. My world has a lot of so-called heroes but some do it for their own glory and some are just self-righteous. You feel it in your heart. You're a real hero.
I'm sorry I won't get to try your Bombchu game, but I promise I will if I ever come back. I'd like to play a song with you then too. Thank you Link.
Rapunzel
I hope I get to say this to you before I have to do it through this letter, but I want you to know that I [there's heavy erasing marks under the next few words] care about you so much and I'm sorry I'm gone. You made me so happy Rapunzel, and I hope I made you happy too. I'm glad that curse brought us together. If I come back, I hope I can be with you again. I'll have more to say to you then.
Stay brilliant as always, my sundrop. And thank you for brightening my time here. Even if my mind doesn't remember you, my heart will.
Megamind
I don't think I can say anything to you without saying sorry first. I really am sorry. Really, truly sorry. You know what for. I didn't want to do any of that.
I should be mad at you for some things you've said and done and maybe I am. But more than that I'm sad because of what happened to us. We should have been friends. I'd like to think we were, and still could have been again even if it took some tine. If I come back, can we try again?
Ryan Evans
You've been a great friend and I was always glad to sing with you. I know it's big, but I'm leaving the opera house to you. Mezzanote Capolavori is yours. I trust you to take care of it and put amazing shows on its stage. Izaya will remain the bookkeeper so you don't have to worry about the boring business stuff. Please save a room for me if I ever come back. It's my home.
I hope you and Katniss will be happy.
Thank you.
