[Once the sky phone clicks on all of Lindblum could be heard for its owner is currently roaming along the city streets. The Marquis gained a few greetings from locals today as he made his way through the theater district. Taking a moment to greet them with a hearty ‘hello’, Ondore finally speaks.]
Greetings to all friends and comrades alike, I do hope the days look upon you kindly now that Winter’s chill has faded into memory.
Lindblum is just a sea of gossip today. I’ve heard all sorts of wild rumors thanks to some of the friends I keep, and many say that my latest endeavor has been well received by the public. The stars must be aligned in my favor, for there has been little criticism regarding my novel.
Although, one thing seems quite off about all this good reception…
[Taking a brief pause, Marquis Ondore organizes his thoughts.]
It would seem that Sir Lesales novel is causing me some unnecessary grief as of late. I wonder if that ardent was the one who started such a rumor for there is nothing in my novel that is similar to his other than location. Perhaps this is just a form of friendly jostling amongst friends and rivals.
No matter, I am merely thankful for whatever praise I can gain; I think my days as a novelist has just begun. With that said, perhaps I should take a note from the past and research some of Lord Avon's works. He is referred to fondly as the 'Bard of Avon' because of his most famous works, "I Want to be Your Canary" & "Wishing upon a Star". Many of the playwrights right here in Lindblum continuously praise Lord Avon by making slight references to his fabled plays within their performances.
'Tis widely known that even the famous actor, Lowell Bridges is an avid fan of Lord Avon's work. Just about everyone in the theater district is fond of this man, yet I have not read any of his plays.
I'll be sure to keep an eye out on the upcoming auctions in hopes of finding a second edition copy of Lord Avon's famous works, but until then I'll tend to my writing.

Date: 2010-03-27 01:55 am (UTC)It's been quite some time since we've last spoke, Miss Rinoa. I am grateful to know you are well.
You do make a valid point, plays are not meant to be read. I'll certainly have to keep my eyes open for the next grand performance featuring the amazing Lowell. Lord Avon's works are a staple of Gaian culture, nearly everyone here in Lindblum alone knows of him.
I feel as if the best way to know the Gaians better, is to read about their culture through whimsical text. However, I don't mind cheating and watching a few plays instead of reading.

Would it be too bold of me to ask whether you like it or not? I’ve been rather meticulous in how this novel begins and ends. I’ve even had some stern words with the publishers regarding the cover of the book. They wanted something flashy, but I chose for something quite simple.

Date: 2010-03-27 06:00 pm (UTC)While I am not the kind a man to believe in rumors, there has been much talk amongst the talent here revolving Lowell Bridges' role as the leading man in this production.
If true, this shall a spectacle of a lifetime.

Date: 2010-03-28 06:20 am (UTC)Lowell Bridges... never heard. Have you?

Date: 2010-03-28 07:01 pm (UTC)You've never heard of this young actor? I take it you aren't from Lindblum since most of the townspeople are quite fond of his performances. He's rather famous around these parts, but it would seem that a few thespians aren't very fond of him.

I'll make sure to take my leave of Lindblum by tomorrow evening.

Date: 2010-03-28 01:52 am (UTC)I take it you aren't very fond of Bridges, but that can be forgiven if you are another fan of Lord Avon's works.

Date: 2010-03-28 10:07 am (UTC)I wouldn't be where I am today without Lord Avon. His works are the nerve-centre of Tantalus' operations. 'I Want To Be Your Canary' is always our most popular show.

Date: 2010-03-28 06:57 pm (UTC)Tantalus? Is that a theater group?
