Joshua's eyes scanned the cafeteria for the nth time. He was unlike other guards. He was leaning on the wall with one foot on it and his hands in his pockets. No one really cared how he did he job; he just had to do the basics. He had been here for two and a half years already, so he was by no means new. He knew every nook and cranny of this place like the back of his hands, burning in his memory the patients and what rooms they were in, and those patients who had died and the rooms that are now vacant. It was tiring doing all of this but it was a force of habit by now on his part.

However, what he did not know was what was going in the basement. He had escorted many to the elevator, mostly patients, but he was never allowed to go down. Even in all the years he had served this hospital, he still wasn't allowed. What made matters worse were the patients that he escorted don't go back up and he assumed them to be dead, considering that their names were removed from the roster. The fact that Ichi never wanted to approach the elevator made him uneasy but never showed it. Whatever happening down there was the doctor's business, and theirs alone. If they told him to go, he would. He just hoped he wouldn't end up as one of the 'missing' people.

Ichi barked once and Joshua placed a hand on the dog's head before rubbing it. He turned his head back to the entrance hallway to the cafeteria and his eyes landed on Elizabeth. She had said something along the lines of someone not having respect. But he paid her no mind. As long as there was no disturbance, he wouldn't have to say anything. However, when she would pass by, he would give her a nod and a small, [color=0054a6]"Greetings."[/color] It was the usual routine with him. Greet the patients as they passed by. Some might be out of their mind, but most were sane and you just had to get used to things around here.
