I wonder what this is
~Gemini
Gemini its rather obvious
>IA
| > The scrolling text changes, it now reads "4 connected, stream starting at 3!"
| [User "WailingDragon07" has joined]
| > There was one more change to the scrolling text, "5 connected, commencing stream!" — it shows right before the stream's pitch black background fades.
> The background changes to that of a view from atop a tall building, perhaps several stories of height. The camera sits still, showing Glitch City at night.
"Ow.. this is.. heavy!"
> A feminine voice says in a gasping voice. Behind the camera, the sound of an heavy object being dragged through can be heard.
| > The music cuts, ending its track, just as a figure shows on screen. The figure faces away from the camera, as they can be visibly seen setting up a deck of some sort.
"G-give me a moment, everyone! I'm still setting up."
> Only thirty seconds later, the undoubtedly female figure has a digital piano set up. With a few more finishing touches, she puts a stool; sitting on it comfortably — and now she sees the camera directly, with the piano in front of her.
| "Let's test the audio then—"
> Her voice can be heard clearly, despite the camera being about meters away from her; but that wasn't her intention. Her fingers can be seen idle on the keys of the piano.
"—Bagatelle No. 25; A minor."
> She pauses, closing her eyes.
"Für Elise."
> The name is now written in the scrolling text, just as she began playing the opening of the too-familiar piece.
| Your very talented
-WailingDragon07
| > It doesn't seem like she heard the message notification, or she was perhaps not paying too much attention — her eyes are glued to the piano that she effoetlessly plays. Her finger glides through the melodies of the piece.
> Finishing off the song, she takes her hand off from the piano, glancing at an unseen device close to the piano.
"T-thank you, Wailing Dragon! I hope you can hear the music and my voice clearly."
> She smiles at the camera, showing her azure hair.
| Oh oh oh shes good
~Gemini
I should agree to that.
Its nice to have a tune in the background while toiling away at my work
>IA
I still don't know what this is about though
~Gemini
[scientific groan]...please tell me your kidding.
It is as clear as day
>IA
| "So, everyone! Is there any songs you want to request? I'll be accepting the requests after this—"
> She waves at the camera before positioning her hands at the piano again. Once more, her hand relaxes as they play a start of another song.
"A song from a faraway place — Goldenrod City."
> The song title reflects what she said, and then, a playful melody is heard. Her hands have already danced by the upbeat tone.
| We can hear you clearly. It is very relaxing to listen to
-WailingDragon07
| Nope, i am drawing a blank
~Gemini
Alright fine, how about a hint?
This hint of mine is a request
Oh madame songstress can you play moonlight sonata next?
>IA
I do not see how that is a hint
~Gemini
Gemini, please, stop this madness.
I swear your making hotdogs dump turds into my brain.
>IA
I do not see how ground meats can produce fecal matter
~Gemini
Please Stop
>IA
| I also cannot see
~Gemini
Stop
>IA
how a subject would be as visible as a certain point of time
~Gemini
End my suffering.
>IA
Should i call an ambulance?
~Gemini
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>IA

| > After a moment, the song fades. She had finished her second performance of the stream.
"W-woah.. I should dial up the notification volume. I didn't hear the messages coming in at all!"
> She chuckles, trying to excuse herself from missing out.
"Let's, let's see. Thanks, Wailing Dragon, IA, and Gemini! And uhm.. I see IA has requested Moonlight Sonata!"
> She takes a quick rest as she goes through the messages.
| "Hm. Hmh. I have dialed the notification to be a bit louder. I promise it won't disturb the piano."
> She proceeds to close her eyes again, as though imagining something. The instant she opens them, her hands are already locked and ready to play.
"Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia, opus 27. Moonlight Sonata."
> The fantasia-styled melody can be heard as it ramps, endowing the listener in an relaxedly ascertain atmosphere.
| >[User "Garret" has joined.]
Oh. This is nice.
-GG
| XNBC. That name sounds familiar. Are you famous perhaps?
-GG
| > At the end of the song, she gave a small bow to the viewer of the stream — a salute, perhaps, for listening through hee performance.
"I heard the comments this time! Two. So.. let's see."
> She shifts her attention back to the device, seemingly meant to display comments, near her piano.
"Thank you Garret for tuning in! As for the name... I don't think I have any fame—"
> She sheepishly laughed, scratching her cheeks.
"W-well, you may have seen my name elsewhere, perhaps?"
| Possibly.
-GG
| Is it me or does this one stutter a lot?
>IA
Huh, she does
~Gemini
Perhaps it is medical?
>IA
| "It's nothing to worry of, you two."
> She reads the recent comment while her hands playfully taps on the keys on the piano; she had made a soothing melody out of her unconscious and uncoordinated taps.
"Ah, maybe it's stagefright? Let's try to geek it if that's the case!"
> She held out a hand, pausing the melody she made, and a microphone slides into the frame.
"I'll try singing while playing the piano, how does that sound, everyone?"
> She said, cheerfully.
| Sounds good.
-GG
| > With one quick nod, she stands up and adjusts the microphone position to allow her voice to register in a greater clarity.
"Hm.. maybe that will do."
> She goes back sitting, lightly taps a few keys and an opening to a song can be heard.
"Let's listen to something newer, shall we? The Killers, Human."
> So is what's written on the bottom of the screen.
"—I did my best to notice when a call came down the line; up to platform of surrender, I was brought, but I was kind."
| > Her voice rises in pitch, bringing up to a jazz-like note.
"And sometimes I get nervous, when I see an open door—"
> She let her eyes close, as though trying to focus on something else.
"—Close your eyes, clear your heart."
> Her hands and the piano follows still, creating an upbeat tune, trailing close with her voice.
"Cut the cord."
> She opens back her eyes, one of them glowing blue.
"Are we human?"

Play Skrillex! No, Aphex Twin! Do, ummm, "Kladfvgbung Micshk" by Aphex Twin!
| Damn. This is a surprisingly good performance for just a random livestream. Are you sure you're not famous?
-GG
| "Or are we dancer?"
> The piano accompanies the song's lyric, accenting its question with a beautiful note.
"My sign is vital; my hands are cold."
> Her voice connects with the expression of the song, she swiftly breathes as she prepare to heighten her pitch.
"And I'm on my knees.. looking for the answer."
> She shows a gleeful smile at the camera, still with her glowing eye.
"Are we human—"
> Toning down her voice, she let the piano finishes.
"Or are we dancer?"

| > A livestream opens; it shows a comment box on the bottom right, a long and scrolling text on the bottom. The scrolling text reads "Five seconds before the stream starts, Houston!"
> It seems that those joining are able to register their username before the stream begins.
> There is a music playing in the background, those of an avid classical music fan will be able to recognize it as Swan Lake, a piece written by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and the piece is played by a music box.
