Chapter Three [Video]

[thebestseller]

Who: Richard Castle and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Planetside or on the Windrose, if need be
When: December 23rd

[Anybody who ran into Castle planetside before December 23rd could find him doing a few things- browsing the local wares, exploring the salt mines, and going in and out of hunting and camping gear stores.

He was looking for something- and finally he found it, dragging a lengthy pole back to the Windrose and proudly setting it up in the cargo bay.

Once it was done, his cheery windblown face could be seen giving a thumbs-up to the camera.]

Happy Festivus!

Holy crap, man. Sounds like you've got your hands full back home. Me, I'll stick with the occasional serial killer and be thankful that's all I've got to deal with.

[lostthebet]

Man, yeah ... sounds like you got a vacation going on over there. I mean, I know serial killers are no joke, but still ... your world pretty peaceful otherwise?

[thebestseller]

By and large, yes. I mean, for certain values of "peaceful" given that I help solve homicide cases, and every now and then we get involved in something deeper. But we have our moments.

[lostthebet]

Moments are nice. Glad to hear something isn't totally in ruins.

[thebestseller]

It is pretty great... still, it's going to all end a few hundred years in the future, huh? That's long after I'll be gone, though, so I guess I can't fuss too much about it.

[lostthebet]

[Shrug,] Eh, maybe, maybe not. With that kind of time lapse it's anyone's guess if we're even in the same universe. There may still be some hope for you yet!

[thebestseller]

Yeah, that's true. I'm not ready to think of humanity as being doomed quite yet.

[lostthebet]

I wouldn't say doomed, but ... yeah we're the underdogs here.

[thebestseller]

Well, humans can be pretty scrappy, too. So I'll remain optimistic.

[lostthebet]

Nothing wrong with that. I mean, we did just take out a God, so.

[thebestseller]

Now that had to be an epicly awesome fight.

[lostthebet]

Yeah, the reports we got in were definitely worth betting on. Sad that ... I bet on the wrong guy.

[thebestseller]

Oh, man. Hope you didn't lose much.

[lostthebet]

[He grumbles a bit in response, which should be answer enough, then shrugs.] Either way, we won when they took out Oryx, so who cares if I was a bit thin in the Glimmer department?

[thebestseller]

Yeah, walking away with your life intact is worth losing some cash. And possibly a little pride.
