Chapter Four [Video]

Who: Richard Castle and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Windrose if you want
When: January 10th, morning

[Video broadcast]

So, folks, I woke up to find that my fleet of cleaning droids suddenly doubled. All of them need names- I only have Cameron, Robocop and Leopardon so far. Got any suggestions? I'm a big sci-fi fan so I'd love to name all of them after famous robots, but I'll take anything.

[And on the Windrose, Castle could be found following his new troops, a big, goofy smile on his face.]

Don't work yourselves too hard now, hmm?

Dirtslayer -- still appropriate.

[thebestseller]

That's definitely going on the list. DIRTSLAYER, DESTROYER OF DUST.

[tallasaking]

A truly fierce name for a small vacuum.

[thebestseller]

I am nothing if not over the top.

[tallasaking]

Over the top or just enjoying your own cleverness? I mean no offense, I often enjoy my own.

[thebestseller]

A little bit of both.

[tallasaking]

Then I am pleased to point it out.

[thebestseller]

Which is good, because usually the person bringing up my cleverness does so while rolling her eyes. A lot.

[tallasaking]

You know, I know many of the same people. Do you think it is some sort of disease? Where their eyes may get stuck that way?

[thebestseller]

Man, I hope not. Can you imagine having to walk around staring at the ceiling all day?

[tallasaking]

Gracious no. The ceiling is such a boring place to have one's eyes locked. I would much prefer a beautiful woman or a good book.

[thebestseller]

Me, too. I get to have both in my life every day, thankfully.

[tallasaking]

Then you are truly blessed, my friend. I only have the books.

[thebestseller]

I surely am. I was planning my wedding back home, in point of fact.

[tallasaking]

[Oh weddings ... well he's going to be happy that someone is going to have one that is not going to end in bloodshed.]

Oh, that sounds very nice. Who is the lucky woman?

[thebestseller]

Her name's Kate- she's a police detective. We've been working together for years and fell in love somewhere along the way.

[tallasaking]

Now that, my friend, sounds like something out of a book.

[thebestseller]

I AM an author, so it fits.

[tallasaking]

Now here is the true question - does she love you for your looks, or does she love you for your wit?

[thebestseller]

Is "both" an acceptable answer?

[tallasaking]

Yes it is, and enough for me to feel the sharp knife of jealousy!

[thebestseller]

It can cut quite hard.

[tallasaking]

[And now, you get a laugh.]

My friend, I like you. I owe you a glass of something decent once we reach our next destination.

[thebestseller]

Me, too. I'll accept your offer- I haven't had some good beer or scotch in a long time.

[tallasaking]

Well then I shall gladly get one you or the other.
