I've been in a coma for about four days.
I…I'm aware it could have been much longer, given how long it's been since we last talked.
I hope you're alright.

[The walk from the door of her cabin to the door of the engine room is very short, but lately she's started to feel terribly agoraphobic on the walk between those rooms, as if the world might suddenly open up completely and leave her stranded in a huge, inescapable void.
If that's unpleasant then the walk up to the library is a nightmare, but her insomnia isn't going away and God knows she needs something to fill the hours. Still, she walks the programming and linguistics sections in a bit of a daze, eyeing the shelves and reading spines without taking much in.]

[ Nothing to say, just-- moving along. ]

Date: 2013-02-10 01:00 pm (UTC)Megamind -
[But really, what could she even say? All she can do is turn back again.]

Date: 2013-02-10 08:18 pm (UTC)[ But by the time he's turned-- she's already turning back. ]
[ Muttering;] Must not be very important... [ he returns to his path, door nearly in reach. ]
[ He wants to hide and not come out until it stops hurting. ]

Date: 2013-02-10 09:27 pm (UTC)Do - do you think I have any idea what to say?

Date: 2013-02-11 01:15 am (UTC)After all, I'm just an inmate -- my redemption is most important, right?
[ His lips curl, teeth flashing in a sneer he directs mostly at himself. ]
Bad guys don't get the girl.
[ He turned the knob, and pushed through, not particularly caring ton hear her denial. ]

...I didn't realize you kept to yourself quite so much.

Date: 2013-02-10 12:19 pm (UTC)I'm a private person. My friends know that.
[Sounds kind of weak even to her, but never mind.]
[Private]
Date: 2013-02-11 08:14 pm (UTC)Private enough that a four day absence wasn't noted. [He's private to, but he still does that whole interacting thing.]

Date: 2013-02-10 05:49 am (UTC)Miss Sato. Looking for anything in particular?
[He notes that she looks worn around the edges, distant and almost ill, but doesn't consider it his business to comment that perhaps she'd be better served by the infirmary than the library.]

I've run into a few problems on a VR environment I'm building. Some issues with object interaction. I'm hoping a fresh perspective might knock something loose. [She nods at the bookshelf.]

Date: 2013-02-10 06:09 am (UTC)It has become more unusual to see Tosh, though, and as soon as he notices her, he blocks her entirely, not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable. She looks a little worn out, but that's more or less par for the course around here, really. He probably doesn't look great himself..] Hello.
[Spam]
Date: 2013-02-10 01:24 pm (UTC)It's strangely liberating to have so little concern for herself, and when she smiles it's genuine for all the wrong reasons.]
Charles, good afternoon. How are you?
[Spam]
Date: 2013-02-12 02:48 am (UTC)I'm alright. Getting over a cold, but otherwise I can't complain. How about you?
[Spam]
Date: 2013-02-12 03:49 pm (UTC)I'm amazed anyone's even able to get colds here. Then again, God knows what the microbial makeup of the CES is like.

The instant he notices her presence the program creeps over to shadow her.]
...Toshiko.

Date: 2013-02-11 10:49 am (UTC)Rinzler, hi. How are you?
[spam]
Date: 2013-02-14 01:29 am (UTC)Studying. Analyzing. (And, perhaps, trying to find the words to say.
Creator, she's his User, where did he even find the gall to confront her about something?]I--function.
You are not--well. You did not say--this.

Date: 2013-02-14 01:38 am (UTC)Because I'm managing fine, and it's nobody's business. Who's been talking to you?

Date: 2013-02-12 05:18 am (UTC)Hey yo, listen, Toshiko, um... your ex told me what was up. I just wanna say, if you ever wanna talk to someone... you know. Door's open and everything.

Date: 2013-02-12 03:54 pm (UTC)I'm not gonna tell you you've gotta quit, or just do this, or that, or whatever. That's just stupid. I don't even know dick about morphine, like, God knows why it even got brought up with me, so there's that.
And also I get it, why you did what you did -- why you cut him off.
So yeah, if you ever just want to... whatever. You can. That's all. [And now he will hang up, if she has nothing else to say.]

Date: 2013-02-12 07:01 pm (UTC)[But it's a different kind of 'thank you', not perfunctory but 'thank you for understanding'.]
