Chapter Nine [Video]

[thebestseller]

Who: Richard Castle and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A
When: August 21st

Windrose crew, please don't worry too much, but I have been tossed in the pokey, so I won't be coming home tonight. Jeez, it's like the other factions don't have any sense of humor at all...

[Castle shifts uncomfortably.]

Really, no appreciation for fine artwork, these people. And they take this team business way, way, way too seriously.

Vision, please take care of the bots, and remember me fondly if I rot away in prison.

Castle, what happened?!

[Excellent, the pink pony now knows you've been incarcerated, Castle.]

Video

[thebestseller]

Oh, it's nothing serious, my dear. I just got... carried away and did a little vandalism after one of my Moxie teammates dared me to.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[... Suspicious eyebrow.]

Castle, what did you do...?

[mistyday]

You got another thing coming if you think we're just gonna sit and let you rot in jail!

[thebestseller]

[Castle gives a false dramatic swoon.]

My ever loyal crew wants to rescue me from my single night in space jail?

video

[mistyday]

Well... yeah. Unless you want to stay stuck there?

[revengeofthemordsith]

Quite impressive to be arrested for art.

[thebestseller]

Drawn with soap crayons, no less. All it'd take is a little elbow grease and some water to get it off.

Re: [ video ]

[revengeofthemordsith]

What kind of art? Was it provocative?

[angelherding]

[a mock gasp] You rebel.

You drew dicks on something, didn't you.

[asking the real questions here]

[thebestseller]

No, no, of course not.

... maybe I did. And some poop emojis.

[angelherding]

I'm so proud of you.

[unbearablynaive]

[Oh, Castle.]

I'll see to it they get their full ration of electricity. It is a civilized jail, I hope?

[thebestseller]

You're a pal.

Oh yeah, it's pretty nice as far as holding cells go. ... though they are careful to keep the teams separate.

[unbearablynaive]

Very good. I think you'd find that if it were otherwise, we'd be there in moments.

[The crew takes threats very seriously. Especially threats to Castle. Someone's got to write were-cuttlefish romance.]

[pain_train]

Like hell you are.

I'm gonna call Tenno and then we're coming to get your ass.

Video

[thebestseller]

It makes me feel all tingly inside to know you all care so much. I await your rescue with bated breath.

Video

[pain_train]

Can you give me a rough estimate of how many guards are at that facility?

[video]

[ecclesiophobic]

Whose wife did you sleep with?

[Who told him he was funny?]

[video]

[thebestseller]

C'mon, you know I'm much more mature than that.

I drew dicks and poop emojis instead.

[ecclesiophobic]

[Has he ever heard Kurt laugh? Because he's hearing it now, and comes amazingly natural for someone who doesn't do a lot of it. The man has a face made for smiles and laughter.]

Vandalism, for shame! How long are you in for and how are they treating you?

[video]

[passingthrough]

You...what?

Do you want a hand getting out? [Breaking people out of prison really is the Windrose way. It also doesn't help that prison is a very weighted concept for her. Her last one was a lot like the fleet—abductions across the multiverse. That place was practically ideal if not for, you know, frequent disappearances and the wardens toying with them. Compared to the forced labor prisons back home like the one she was liberating a prisoner from in one of her last missions... Well, she'd rather not think of that place or what happened there. She'll do her best to keep herself on point for Castle.]

[video]

[thebestseller]

Myself and some Moxie brethren got drunk and engaged in some crude vandalism.

I think Wrath is planning something with Tenno, so I'll be okay. Personally I think I deserve a night or two to cool my heels for letting myself get carried away, but I won't say no if someone wants to spring me.

[video]

[passingthrough]

[Were you drawing penises on buildings?]

How long are they planning to hold you? I mean, if one of us doesn't break you out first?

[And thus does Wrath (and Tenno) show up to the jail to pick up Castle. She is loaded for bear and in full body armor. And she's almost disappointed when the duty officer just shoves a sign out book across the counter at her and quotes a number of credits that Castle better be planning to pay them back.]
