[So. Someone thought she needed a guitar, and she's got a pretty damn sneaking suspicion who.

And that he wouldn't appreciate a call-out. Instead, Ellie just pans the video over an acoustic guitar and a stack of books she'd found on her doorstep a few hours ago. What's visible of her bedroom looks pretty... normal, all things considered. She's put up a poster. Her bed's made (with neat, military hospital corners) and there's some laundry scattered on the floor. She's sort of right on the median line of 'neat' versus 'teenager messy'. Some days, neat wins. Other days... well.

Other days, her laundry goes straight on the floor.]

Hi.

[Great opener, Ellie.]

Um... so. My name's Ellie. I'm looking for some song recs, easy stuff. We're talking, like... 'a five year old with two left hands could probably play this one blindfolded'. That kind.

I don't care about the type or-- genre or whatever, or when it's from. Just as long as I can find it here.

[There's a slight pause. Then,]

Also, if anybody knows how to transfer music from a cassette tape onto something like... an iPod, that'd be great. Thanks.

No experience with the guitar, but I know people who learned with Youtube.

I might be able to help with transferring music to an iPod.

[pundemic]

whats a youtube?

and yeah? what's ur suggestion?

[bringbackgold]

Um. It's a video website.

I DJ so I have the equipment to do it. I've done it many times.

[pundemic]

right. silly me.

[She hates when she fucks that up. Nothing says 'I'm a normal teen from a normal time' like not knowing what the hell facebook is, or 'youtube' apparently. She sort of grimaces to herself and is altogether more eager to focus on that next thing he says. Maybe she can scrape her ignorance under the proverbial rug.]

cool do u think u could teach me?

[bringbackgold]

[ He doesn't really think anything of it. He's heard some interesting stuff since he's gotten here. ]

I can show you.

[pundemic]

id appreciate it.

wanna meet up?

[bringbackgold]

Not a problem.

We can. My equipment is at a nightclub. We can meet before it opens for the night, though.

[pundemic]

[lmao her idea of a 'nightclub' is definitely... a club you beat people with at night?? Give her a second while she parses that word out until she's divined its actual meaning. Then,]

uh. sure. where?

[She's wary of an ambush because she's always wary, but knowing that she can just yell for Clark if she feels off is helpful, and goes a long way towards putting her at ease.]

[bringbackgold]

It's called Element. You can come any time before 7PM.

[pundemic]

what, do u just hang out there all day??

[do you have no life, dude?]

[bringbackgold]

Some days.

I was hoping you'd let me know when you were available so we could find a time.
