She'd lost nearly everyone, sure, but she wasn't alone. They were still with her, just maybe not in the way they were before. Even if they weren't, she believed they were, which was enough. She wasn't blind to how others might see her. She couldn't not be aware of it. But she didn't mind. There was a connection she had. An undeniable, genuine connection. To ghosts, to aliens, to the fantastic, to the unexplainable. To her, it was the most glorious, fascinating thing she could pursue. There was no hesitation in her actions even now, as she built a microphone of sorts that was meant to move through frequencies, move through dimensions, move through time itself to speak to ghosts, wherever and whoever they might be. It was hard to say whether or not her inventions actually worked. The woman's optimism would suggest they did, but the actual results pointed otherwise.

In any case, the blonde feline was outside once again. It seemed she had recovered from her unexpected arrival when she'd been seeking some kind of alien and now she was ready to come out again. She held the machine to her lips. "Hello! Hello? Is anyone here? Oh, come on! I know you're here! I felt you! I just know it!" She called the words as she wandered around, not seeming to move in any particular direction. "Honestly, you don't have to be shy! I promise I'm not trying to scoop you up or suck you up or whatever else people here try to do! I'm here to help! That's what I do! My specialty, actually! Discover and assistance! That's what I like to think, anyway. I mean, you can make your own assumptions but I would really like to get to know you!" She tried to sound as friendly as possible and hoped the ghosts might respond to it. She supposed it made sense they wouldn't want to come out. After all, she imagined having others trying to exorcise you so often would be quite frustrating and possibly taint the view of mortals. Still, Althea was mercilessly persistent.
