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.

[Oh, Castle.]

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

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.

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.]

I'm touched- I honestly am. Misty offered to come and get me out, too.

I must say, Kitty would be the more obvious choice for a jailbreak, but I concede the point. Perhaps we'll have a "get out of jail" cake for you in the morning?

I'd take the cake. Honestly, I just don't want you guys to get in trouble over little old me.

[That depends entirely on his Security officers and how discreet they can be about it.]

I wouldn't worry overmuch on our account.

I'm sure you all are quite experienced at this sort of thing, yes.

[He just smiles.]

Now, if it were for something more serious, you can imagine you'd already be out.

[thebestseller]

You all like me... you really like me...

[unbearablynaive]

Of course we like you.

[Heaven help anyone who actually hurts Castle.]

[thebestseller]

It truly warms my heart.

[He smiles and shakes his head.]

We'll see you soon.

[And he'd better cut the feed now so he can have plausible deniability, since he's about 95% sure his Security officers are going to break Castle out.]
