Dialogue
You hear rumors that eerie music sometimes echoes from the Korolevskiy Theater around midnight, and that people have even seen shadows dancing on the walls...
- (Approach The Korolevskiy Theater)
- (Traveler): (The Korolevskiy Theater sure is lively... It's a real bastion of the arts.)
- Yadova: ...No way! D—Did you say a ghost!?
- (Traveler): (Hmm? What are they talking about over there?)
- Taisiya: It's true, I swear! Everyone's talking about it. The moment it strikes midnight, eerie music echoes from the theater. Someone even saw the ghost's shadow dancing on the wall!
- (If the player has not completed Mistilteinn[verification needed])
-
- (Traveler): (A ghost? In the theater?)
- (If the player has completed Mistilteinn[verification needed])
-
- (Traveler): (A ghost? But hasn't the Ley Line Disorder here already been resolved?)
- Yadova: Y—You're sure someone didn't just make that up to scare people?
- Taisiya: Yes! I heard it last night! The sound was so eerie, I don't even know how to describe it...
- (Traveler): (Curious... I'll come back and take a look in the early hours.)
- (Time passes as day turns to night)
- (The Traveler enters the dark theater as night falls)
- (Traveler): ...
- (Traveler): (I have to say, with all the lights extinguished, the theater really does feel quite eerie... Is it because it's so empty?)
- (Traveler): ...! What was that?
- (A bottle clatters to the floor and rolls away. A meow is heard)
- (Traveler): (It was just the wind... Did someone leave a window open?)
- (A faint melodic tinkling plays from a room nearby)
- (Traveler): ...?
- (Traveler): (Is that really the sound of a piano? Why does it sound so unsettling...?)
- (The Traveler opens the door to the theater's greenroom)
- (Traveler): ...!
- ???: ...Who's there?
- (Traveler): (A voice? Where is it coming from!?)
- Odette: ...(Traveler)?
- (The lights turn on, and the Traveler turns to see Odette in the doorway)
- (Traveler): O—Odette?
- Odette: Yes.
- Odette: What were you expecting? A ghost?
...So you heard about the rumors.- Odette: I have — the eerie music and the dancing ghost.
- Odette: Here. This is the true form of said "ghost."
- (Odette gestures to the swan-shaped sculpture on the desk)
- (Traveler): (What is that? An ornament? A decoration?)
- Odette: It's a music box. It was a birthday gift from my mother when I was little.
- Odette: It used to play beautiful melodies, but its internal mechanisms have deteriorated over time, and now...
- (Traveler): ...
- Odette: It sounds terrible, doesn't it?
- Odette: It'll take some time to fix. But... my daytime schedule tends to be quite packed, and I don't have the right tools at home, so I had to sneak off to my private lounge in the middle of the night...
- (Traveler): (Wait, did she sneak in through that window that was left open...)
Did you just say...
Your private lounge room?- Odette: Yes, this area belongs to me. Doesn't it look the part?
- (Traveler): (It's emptier than I imagined... It seems she really does put all her energy into dancing...)
Sorry...
I shouldn't have barged in...- Odette: It's fine. To be quite honest, neither of us should be here at this time.
- Odette: But I must say, you're pretty brave. Most would've fled the moment they heard the music or saw a "ghost."
So, about your music box...
What can I do to help?- Odette: ..."Always eager to help." That's what they say about you. I guess they were right.
- Odette: I appreciate the offer, but I want to fix it myself.
- Odette: ...
- Odette: ...But if you could help me collect some relevant materials and keep it a secret for me, I'd really appreciate that.
Consider it done.- Odette: Also... It seems the decor in my lounge doesn't match your expectations. If you want to redecorate it to your liking, you're most welcome.
- Odette: Think of it as a reward for keeping my secret?
- (Traveler): (...A reward?)
- Odette: Did you not want one? Vodyanitsa said fans would do anything for a peek behind the scenes.
- Odette: Oh, that said, could you hold off until the music box is fixed? Your redecoration project, I mean.
...Why?- Odette: It scares people away. Makes it much more peaceful around here.
- After that, Odette spends quite some time bringing the music box (mostly) back to working order...
- (After Odette's repair efforts, the music box's swan wings are folded downwards and a ballerina figurine is added on top)
- (The figurine spins in place as the music continues to play)
- (Quest completes)
