Sooooooo. Fair ladies, good sirs, ghoulies, ghosties, dead and undead alike. Fellow whatever we think we are? [ eddie get to the point here? ] How many of you play instruments and would want to jam?

I'm in a band back home and missing shred sessions. I just found my guitar back -- [ a pause and then he might sound like he's devastated and talking about a lost love. ] Not my sweetheart but my acoustic.

[ and if you're thinking he's not gonna give you whiplash and then sound eager, excited as fuck at the drop of a hat then you're wrong. ] Anyway, I'm really jonesing to play. Anyone in?

If you're into metal or rock even better but all musicians welcome. The place I'm staying at isn't big but there's abandoned buildings near by and the acoustics are killer. [ and because there's some manners under there? ] And if you're in, I'm Eddie.

Re: un: lottie

[guitarpicks]

hell yeah.

this one and then my pride and joy, the love of my life.

[oomfies]

but WHY do you need two....

[guitarpicks]

why not two?

they have different sounds and a man can have more than one love in his life. [ they're guitars, eddie, calm down. ]

[oomfies]

no hate here??
i just don't know anything about doing music, so..

[guitarpicks]

[ well now he feels bad and has to explain. ] an acoustic and an electric make different sounds. if you want a little more soulful, raw you go for an acoustic. an electric guitar is for rock'n'roll.

i can show you the world of music. or at least of guitars.

[ So that's why everyone loves Wonderwall..

But also what an odd idea to consider — Lottie Person, fashion blogger, learning about guitars. Somewhere she thinks Misty would get a kick out of it and insist they twin it up with 'tiny, CUTER guitars' (ukuleles) to pose with, after the fact.. ]

sure? i mean.. i'm dead so what do i have to lose lol

[guitarpicks]

is playing the guitar uncool in the future?

you've only got a world of cool skill to gain.

[oomfies]

noooo i didn't mean it like that at ALL. ugh sorry i'm just being a lameass

just.. what if i'm not good???

[guitarpicks]

no one's good at first. i sucked hard when i started and now i'm playing metallica. [ he also spent a month practicing alone in his room in the month between the song coming out and his untimely demise so is he a great example? maybe not! ]

we'll start easy, if you want to give it a try.

[oomfies]

okay

[ She types, and then erases. Repeats this process two or three more times before settling on: ]

what kind of easy were u thinking?

[guitarpicks]

you'd be working up to a very beginner friendly version of careless whisper.

don't tell anyone.

[oomfies]

OMGGG NO

you're teaching me george michael??????

[guitarpicks]

first george michael, then you're moving on to actually good music. [ but he has to start her somewhere, okay, and it's easy!!! ]

tell no one!!!

[oomfies]

WTF how dare you

george michael was sexy AND his music is good

(obvi i won't say anything.. your secret's safe w/ me!!!)

[guitarpicks]

good is objective. he was in wham!

thanks.

[oomfies]

but you like careless whisper?!

[guitarpicks]

it's a good song to play on the guitar! pretty easy. [ don't tell anyone but yeeeeep. ]

[oomfies]

my DMs are open if you ever feel like being honest w/ yourself 😌

[guitarpicks]

idk what you mean.

[oomfies]

[ Oh!! Lottie gasps at that, happy to see her rub off on him. His first idk.. They grow up so fast, she's proud!!

But then she pauses. Rereads his text and remembers, ]

wait

did i never tell you what DMs were

[guitarpicks]

dungeon masters. jk jk.

you didn't but i was talking about the being honest part. i'm being honest over here. scout's honor. [ he wasn't a scout. ]

[oomfies]

[guitarpicks]

[oomfies]
