[ The text surprises her. It's not because she doesn't want to teach someone, but because she doesn't expect it — especially here of all places. It takes her awhile to text back in between feeling flattered that he's coming to her and still getting used to texting. Mary can't help but smile the entire time she does. ]

Good to hear from you. What do you want to learn? I play keyboard, guitar, and some percussion.

[creepface]

Guitar I think I would like to learn that please

[duad]

Sure! I think I can make that happen.

I work nights at the bar, otherwise I'm free so whatever works best for you is fine with me. I've never done this kind of stuff before so sorry if it takes some time to get used to. Once we get the hang of it, it should be fine.

I work nights at the hospital so that works, tell me when and where and I will try to be there unless I'm working

My apartment should be fine. I don't have any roommates and my neighbors are used to hearing me play anyway. 2 in the afternoon sound good?

[ Another text message is sent, it's her address and apartment number. She also has the name and address of the bar she plays at. ]

If you ever wanna stop by my work and ask me something, that's fine too.

Okay I'm sorry for bothering you I will see you then

[creepface]

Ah um what day?

[duad]

Hey you're not bothering me. It will be nice to have someone to teach music to. There aren't many other people here who play so its nice to see someone is interested.

[ Mary has to admit that she's been feeling pretty lonely without other people to play music with. It's been such a huge presence in all of her life that it feels weird not to be involved with jam sessions. No drum sets with Craig, no hashing over compositions with the band, no refining lyrics with Kimber, no rehearsing... she really misses it all. ]

How's tomorrow sound? It's my day off, so we can take time to get down the basics.

[creepface]

Of course I will be there I will see you there I'm glad there's someone else interested too.

[duad]

Great! Is there any kind of music you want to learn in particular? It'll be acoustic, but if you have any ideas of what you want to play eventually that would be awesome.

[creepface]

something rock-like? metal kind of might be a little hard when it's not electrical but some rock can be played with acoustic right?

[duad]

Definitely. My band back home played rock so it'll be a piece of cake. Maybe you can learn one of our songs.

[creepface]

I woudn't mind that
