Chapter Twelve [Video]

[thebestseller]

Who: Richard Castle and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Windrose, if desired
When: February 11th

[When Castle flicks on the video, he's projecting a veneer of calm... very badly, because one can hear an edge of panic in his voice.]

Ha, ha, ha! I don't mean to alarm anybody, but I bought myself one of those spiffy augment upgrades. I picked fire, because who doesn't want to be red hot, am I right? But, enhh... [He holds up his left palm, which has a small but persistent flame on the center.] I can't seem to turn it off. Does anybody here have experience with fire powers? And should it really be this powerful when I've only bought the first level...?

Oh, I just bet your editor loves you, am I right?

[thebestseller]

She's patient with me. That's all I could ask for.

[universal_charm]

It's really all any of us can ask for in life, isn't it?

[thebestseller]

Especially those of us who can be, hmm, a little trying to deal with at times.

I think somewhere far off I just heard Bones sigh, a little bit.

[Castle laughed.]

And my fiance. And my mom. ... and my daughter.

[universal_charm]

Lord help us if they ever get together, right?

[thebestseller]

That would be quite the deadly combination.
