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.

Jeez. I can see why this planet isn't agreeing with you in that case- though I'd hope the three factions here would learn to work together if there was... THAT kind of threat.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh, it's fine. It's a little pricey not joining anybody, but I've got LOTS of credits we couldn't use last month, and I've been getting some part-time jobs too. And lots of people are still friendly if you're friendly back.

But yeah, it'd be nice if they could all just get along. I wouldn't wish windigos on anyone, though.

I'm sure the audience loves you, too- you could just smile and say "pretty please" and get whatever you want.

I hear you. Just the sound of nasty winter spirits is making my skin crawl.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Hahaha no, I'm not THAT popular, silly! But yeah, maybe we can find a way to make them work together a little more.

[Pretty please, she doesn't want some stranger telling them that eventually the system froze over.]

[thebestseller]

Really, you don't think so? You might have SOME swaying power.

I hope so. Because this tension is going to explode at some point, and explode badly.

[spontaneouscombustion]

No kidding. SO! I think you've learned YOUR friendship lesson about unwanted graffiti! How much is the bail?

[thebestseller]

I have indeed. It's not too steep- and I think my shipmates are staging a rescue attempt, anyway.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Awwww that's really sweet of them! And it sounds like fun too!

[A rescue attempt that includes paying bail, right?]

[thebestseller]

Well- we'll see what they mean by "rescue". Wrath said she's in Team Moxie, too, so maybe she'll be able to talk me out of it.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Ooh, yeah, and Wrath's SUPER nice, I bet she can talk you out of it!

[Haha, Pinkie hasn't learned about Wrath's scrappier side yet.]

[thebestseller]

[Yep. TALK.]

Or at least come up with bail money.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[All the diplomacy ever.]

Well, let me know if you need anything else, Castle. Hope everything stay okey-dokey-lokey in the pokey~!

[thebestseller]

Thanks, my dear. I'll text you once I'm out and tell you how it went.
