[ Ellever had tried to post something with audio, but anxiety has gotten the best of her. Especially since she doesn't know a lot of people in Beacon, just yet. So Beacon is just going to have to deal with her terrible texting skills unless they respond with audio. Her work emails are beautiful and perfect, like the book nerd she is, but just jotting down a quick something? Sorry. Just sorry. ]

hi everybody! hope you all had an okay new years? can't say i missed the ball drop thing in new york. but i don't think i'm a huge fan of the onion thing the spirits like?

this is elle brandt, if we haven't spoken before. i have kind of a favor to ask of some of you? i'm looking for any musical instruments that we have here in beacon. either instruments you have, if you don't mind me borrowing them for just a little while, or instruments you've seen laying around somewhere (if possible). i found a kazoo in the general store but that's about it.

i won't be borrowing them for very long, hopefully. if they're really important to you, don't feel obligated. we don't have too many good distractions around here. especially if it's from your home.

thanks for taking the time to read this, if you have, i appreciate it.

Every kid at St. Agnes had to learn, even the blind ones. So I should know enough to help, at least I hope so.

( his understanding of piano is a little different, considering he had to learn to play by ear, and memorize the notes. he can't play and read music at the same time, after all. )

I can't help much with other instruments, I'm afraid. The ocarina, maybe. Robin gave all of us one, I've figured it out, more or less.

don't worry, figuring out how to play the other instruments is going to be a good way to pass the time.

[ Ellever needs all the distractions from her mind that she can get. ]

but it would definitely be fun to get some pointers, whenever you have time. i really do appreciate the offer.

Good luck with that. Sounds like a tall order, to teach yourself to play multiple instruments, but we do have our fair share of downtime around here.

( and it's definitely not impossible, considering he taught himself to play the ocarina by ear. it's just easier with someone to teach, and there's probably not a multitude of options for that around Beacon. )

I'm happy to help, when I can.

it's all right, i'll start small. baby shark now, maybe an actual song later. gotta work your way up and twinkle twinkle's kinda old hat.

[ Will she actually terrorize Beacon with Baby Shark? Probably. ]

[catholicisms]

Baby Shark? Haven't heard of that one. And I'm not helpful on lively music, most of what I have memorized are hymns.

[antiwhat]

you're not missing anything. it's like the most annoying song in the world. i don't even know if it qualifies as a song. it's like nine notes and repeats of 'baby shark doo doo doo doo doo doo'.
