Myrtle burst through the cubicle door. "I'm SO sorry to interrupt your important boyfriend talk!!!! How INSENSITIVE you are talking about having friends and boyfriends when I have neither.'' Myrtle began to sob dramatically as she hovered before the girls.

Dramatically at that.

Oops? But hey, she got her out of the stall, which was actually the purpose here, so totally NOT insensitive at all. "Myrtle! Hi, No, no, we were just talking to get you out from hiding........." Sky quickly said. Boyfriend talk with Olivia can wait; she had some corrections to manage. Now how to say this without hurting the SENSITIVE and TOUCHY ghost's feelings? Because throwing a question back at her was probably not the best idea.

"I can be your friend, but friends don't keep friends waiting who are saying HELLO...I visited you a couple years ago, but sadly wasn't able to be by here last year, you remember, don't you?" And she was pleasant then, she hoped at least. But she was also in here with two guys, and looking for information, so perhaps that wasn't the best example? Then again, Hermione Granger a century ago often visited with two guys, so maybe it was okay.

Vi had almost forgotten the purpose of her visit to the second floor bathroom when she had been talking with Skylar about helping out Vivian. Then all of a sudden the quiet, calm atmosphere of the bathroom had been interrupted and Myrtle had appeared. So this was Myrtle? Olivia blinked. She had never seen her before. She had had stories, of course but never had officially met her. But instead of introducing herself to the ghost straightaway, she paused, realizing that this was perhaps not the best time for such a thing. "Boyfriend? Oh no.. I don't..." Sure, she was dating someone but boyfriend? Erm... Erm.. Vi felt extremely awkward. Not yet....

And then the ghost began sobbing. Olivia felt REALLY REALLY REALLY awkward now. Vi reached her hand out towards the ghost but then paused. She didn't know what she should do to help in such a situation. It wasn't like she could exactly reach out and comfort the ghost..... She looked to Skylar for insight and then followed Skylar's lead with addressing the ghost and making sure not to bring up the boyfriend stuff. Planning for Vivian could wait. In the meantime, maybe they could help Myrtle out.

"I'm sorry... We didn't mean to be rude to you... We both heard you crying out in here and we wanted to see if you were alright which is why we came in here," she said with a nod. "No one should be alone." It was an awful fate and it had been something that had scared her when she was a small child. Being alone for the rest of her life and only knowing people on an acquaintance level and not truly knowing anyone.... That was terrifying. "I'd like to be your friend too, Myrtle." She offered the ghost a smile at that point.
