[Anyone in the Opera House can hear the melody drifting through the hallways, but she's set the network device near the piano, recording on purpose.

After the nocturne is finished, there's a pause, and a small sigh.]

I made it through the tough part.

[A scrape of the piano bench and a few steps, as she gets up and walks to the computer.]I hope

A beautiful performance, miss. What is it called?

[mizrahigirl]

Thank you. It's Chopin's Nocturne Op.9 No.2.

[beast_unbound]

Such old music, centuries upon centuries. You must have practiced a long time to learn to play it, or you have impressive musical talent. Perhaps both, as you seem so young.

[mizrahigirl]

It's really old for me as well, but it's pretty easy to find for me as well.

Mm, well, I did practice a lot, but I like to play, so it comes along okay.

[charmedillusion]

That's very kind of you to check in on everyone. How are you feeling, sweetie?

[mizrahigirl]

I'm okay.

Everyone else has had a really hard time, and I...just panicked a little when I couldn't go out, I guess.

[charmedillusion]

And even in the midst of all the stress, you still play as beautifully as ever.

[mizrahigirl]

Piano is calming, for me.

And I wanted to play something soothing.

[metastable]

A wonderful piece. I look forward to hearing more of your work.

Do you have your own piano, or is there a music area available to public use?

[mizrahigirl]

Ah, thank you.

Mm, I have my own, but I think there's pianos for people to use in the Opera House too.

[metastable]

How long have you been playing?

[mizrahigirl]

A long time. I think I started...I guess around ten years ago.
