[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.

I didn't know you could play guitar. [This a charming fact to learn!] Is there anything you can already play?
no subject
Uhhh... breaking glass?
[Because that's about what she sounds like when she tries it now.]
no subject
[He's being a shit, but his smile is fond.]
It can't be that hard, right?
[Music isn't really his thing, to be honest; he enjoys it, but he's already an expert.]
no subject
[Such a vote of confidence, Taako. She huffs in fond exasperation.]
Let's see you do it, then.
no subject
Sure, let's do it! We'll start a band.
[He's not serious about the band thing but if she genuinely wanted someone to learn with her, he... would.
Call out post for Ellie, making him give a shit about her.]
no subject
Jackass. I don't really think I'm cut out for bands, anyway.
[That was Joel's dream once upon a time. She'd feel weird about following in his footsteps that way.]
no subject
[Ellie is totally the type to be a diva, that's definitely true.]
no subject
Definitely too much. And while you're at it, you can fetch my furs and pearls.
[How do u like her best shitty British old-lady accent here Taako because it's amazing.]
no subject
The fox or the mink? I'd hate to bring the wrong coat.
no subject
[What is she even saying? Although, she did find a fur coat in somebody's closet once, long-abandoned and moth-bitten but warm as shit. It was about ten times too big for her, practically a tent, but she used it as a bedroll for a while until she and Joel got attacked in the middle of the night and had to leave it behind in the confusion.]
no subject
[It's less 'Ellie doesn't know her animals' and more 'minks are pretty useless for eating in a post-apocalyptic zombie world so she probably hasn't needed to know about them'.]
no subject
[That's pretty much spot on, but Joel was an outdoorsy sort of dude who - at a certain point in their relationship - had taken to pointing things out as they saw them on their cross-country trek. Animals thrived, in a world without human interference, without much hunting, without the destruction of their habitats. Species' that were nearer to extinction than not came back with a vengeance. Life finds a way.]
no subject
[Ellie might actually be the real loser here. Getting a free coat might not be worth being forced on a shopping trip with Taako.]
no subject
What, we can't just... buy one online?
[Look she's been introduced to internet shopping and has decided it's the Best Thing Ever okay.]
no subject
Absolutely not, where's the fun in that!
[He spent most of his life Too Broke to shop, so now that he can afford it he's going to enjoy it as much as possible.]
no subject
One hour, Taako. One hour. That's it. Got it?
no subject
That's not nearly enough time to compare all the options.
no subject
Well it's what you've got. Gotta make do.
no subject
[what a baby]
no subject
[she's not having any of it, taako. any of it.]
no subject
[Nevermind that it was like literally a minute ago.]
