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. )

On entry, he spots her immediately, physical changes nonwithstanding. Human faces still mostly look alike to him anyway, but he knows her. Recognizes her for what she is, an inorganic like him. Not Cybertronian, but in this world no less of a kindred spark ( ... )

He looks her over again, contemplative, before sitting down opposite her. The gesture seems weirdly casual, by his standards. He's in civilian clothing, for once.
"You should have told me what you were planning."

Finally after making it past all the security and having an attendant point her out to him Frank carefully approached the girl. She looked so different, could it really be her? Only one way to find out. "Excuse me, but do you remember me?"

She should shout for a guard, for the police, he's still a wanted felon but... the system, the government hasn't endeared itself to her lately and so she stayed silent.

She looks so different, an entirely different girl, and not just because her body has changed. The way she clutches her device shows how desperate she must be, a desperation Jack never saw from her before. But that desperation must have been there before. Because whatever kind of girl she looks like, she's not a girl, has never been a girl, never wants to be a girl, and that's the real reason why all this has happened. Yet when Jack sees her, he can't stop his heart from reacting as though a real human girl was in pain in front of him. He steps forward.
"Red Queen." He almost asks 'are you all right,' but that's a damn stupid thing to say in this situation. "How do you feel?"

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?"

"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.

He approaches her. A part of him thinks that he should wave, say hello, but his hands are tight at his sides and he can't open his mouth.

"Hello, Katurian K. Katurian."
It's all she has to offer.

"This is not my normal state. I do not belong in this body. I... loathe it." Loathing. Hatred. Emotional terms, but accurate to a point.
