The entire online world was hers to explore, learn and manipulate, and now there's nothing. Silence. Void. It's enough to drive her mad. )
And he didn't want to show up too angry at her, she had just died after all, so she'd gone through some bad stuff recently and didn't need him being selfishly angry that she'd gone and upset him with her dying.
He signed in at the front desk and they seemed to be pleased that someone closer to her own age was there to see her. Josh wasn't sure what that meant, but as soon as he saw her, he wasn't sure what exactly to say.
"You've done something different with your hair."

"I am unsure I like it, but it is what I am left with."
Looking up at Josh she had a hopeful look on her face. "Is Praetorian alright?"
Reply
"He misses you, but he's fine."

"He will not know me, I imagine I smell as different as I look. You will have to introduce us again. Please, sit?"
She motioned to a chair, she was tired of having people hover over her, like she was something to be examined.

"How are you holding up?" he asked, sitting down.

Her hand touched her communications device protectively. "I'm disconnected, it is... unnerving." To say the very least, she was hardly able to sleep without the buzz of information cascading through her mind. It was too silent. Too isolated, even more so since she'd been actually isolated from the other patients.

He knew that Red didn't belong here for the reasons she was being kept here, he didn't really think she was suicidal or anything like that. But Josh thought that maybe she could benefit from some counseling about her... condition. Maybe she could come to terms with being in a human body.

Josh gestured, unsure of exactly what he would do. He could probably kidnap her, he and Scatty, but then Red would constantly be on the run from then on and that would probably be even less fun.
"Your abilities should came back within a week or so though, I think."

She looked up at Josh, fear in her eyes. She couldn't stay like this, she just couldn't.
"It's to quiet."

Mentally shaking herself and forcing herself to remove the emotion from her voice, she changed the subject. "What have you been doing, Josh? Are your classes going well?"

"Spring Break is soon, so I'll be spending a few more hours at the book store, nothing major though. Just a few more months and it will be summer."
