[ for those who know him, this post by amadeus is lacking in its usual energy and jubilance, instead weighed down by measured thoughtfulness. it's also a long time coming: he has been mysteriously missing from the theater scene for some months now. ]

When the Teatro Regio Ducale in Milan was destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt the Teatro alla Scala in 1778 and gracefully inaugurated with an opera by none other than Antonio Salieri himself. —L'Europa riconosciuta, in case you wondered.

It feels wrong to celebrate the legalizing of theater without him here, when he was so integral to its passing. He was my partner in all things, including the year-long endeavor it took to get here.

... Still, we have the rest of the Council to thank, and all of you who lent a hand in the past. Thank you, truly. It meant a great deal to us old art fogies.

Forgive me for asking what might be a question with an obvious answer but... are you truly talking about a theatre here? In this city?

[Iskandar has been away a lot and even when he was in Aefenglom he has been busy with some rather absorbing personal matters. AND YET. If there's a theatre in this city how, in name of all the gods, is it that he had missed it?!]

Oh no, Salieri's gone? I'm sorry Amaedeus. What terrible timing too.

I've spent quite a lot of time loitering in La Scala. I'll look forward to seeing legal theatre here.

[Enkidu listens to his voice. It sounds a little different and they have no idea what an opera is.]

He is gone as well?

[Enkidu's voice sounds soft and very tired.]

I am glad the theatre remains.

[Wasn't it legal before, then?]

[thejoyrider]

I am sure he would have been happy to hear this.

I hope that we can tell him someday.

[Marie is taking it well but guess what, she is still sad about Salieri’s absence]
