Chapter Nine [Video]

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.

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.]

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.

[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 poo emojis.]

Just for a night or two, I think- and I'll have to clean up my mess or pay someone to do it for me.

[Keeping it classy. A writer and an artist.]

Good thing the Atroma gave you the appropriate skill sets. [Joking. Joking...]

Oh, the bots will be SO pleased. I can put the squeegee attachments on and let them go to town.

Your new life of crime balances itself out so well.

And why the vandalism to a world we're just visiting?

Is "I got drunk and carried away by team spirit" an acceptable excuse?

That depends. Are you a teenager in this scenario?

... not so much.

Then we're a little south of acceptable, but since I'm not your mom or your hall monitor I guess we can let it slide.

Well, I'll pinky swear to not do it again, too.

You can't. You're in the slammer.

Not for very much longer, if Wrath and Tenno can successfully bail me out.

Okay, but if that goes sideways and all three of you end up in jail remember to call the intangible girl and teleporting guy on the crew for break outs.

Will do. Man, I really am the almighty janitor of the crew, aren't I?

Can't argue with the augment. But I hear clean up is very important in spy and assassin work where you don't want to get caught.

True. It's important to not leave any evidence at the scene of the crime... otherwise the team will find you.

Team? [It sounds general and yet kind of felt specific.]

I help the police deparment back home, so my concept of a "team" is the people who investigate crimes.

You help the police department..........write more creative police reports? [Come again?]

I help them solve crimes, actually. See, years ago, a killer was going around that was basing their crimes on the ones in my books. I got hauled in as a suspect, and after I got cleared, well, I just couldn't keep my nose out of it and solved the case, so I work as a special consultant.

What do you do? ...Something like profiling?

A bit of everything. I look at the evidence, try and find links, look at crime scenes, interview suspects and witnesses...

What makes you better at it than detectives? [Curious, more than challenging.]
