Nineteenth Draft [Video || Action at the police station] I've got the world on a string

[cuffmeonce]

Good day isn't it? Beautiful day. [Castle is carrying a fancy espresso machine in a box under his arm and he's whistling as he walks along toward the Police Station. It's Sunday but that doesn't stop Kate (and likely many of the other cops) from being in the office.]

Book will be out in a few days. I'm not cursed and Alexis is happy right now. The curse that most of the City seems to be under doesn't seem dangerous. One of those days I can't complain about.

[He walks into the police station and he'll begin setting up the coffee machine in the break room, still whistling.]

[ooc: He's in the break room at the police station. Feel free to stop him and say hi]

[Her eyes are the only thing that moves as she watches Castle stroll by with the prissy coffee dispenser. She sighs, and there's a long minute before she turns on her heel and follows him.]

Castle.

"Beckett!" Castle responds cheerily. It doesn't take him long to set up the machine then he gets some coffee beans out of the box and sets them up in the grinder attached to the machine.

"You need some coffee. My special blend."

It's not but he likes to pretend.

Dad, now I have the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood theme song in my head. Cause that's what you remind me of right now.

...I like it!

Good. I'm glad you like it. It's a good day. I don't see any reason not to be happy.

[liveontoday.livejournal.com]

Things do seem to be looking up.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Indeed they do. I'm happy it's not just for me.

I don't think we've met. I'm Rick Castle.

[liveontoday.livejournal.com]

We haven't. I'm afraid I'm a little shy so I don't use my device as much as I ought to.

It's very nice to meet you! I'm Saya.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

That's understandable. Sometimes it's difficult to get out there and meet people.

Pleasure to meet you as well, Saya. Have you been here in the City long?

[liveontoday.livejournal.com]

Actually, I've almost been here a year. The time really has passed quickly though!

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

That doesn't surprise me. This place stays so busy that it's easy to let time slip away.

[liveontoday.livejournal.com]

With the curses, it definitely does! At least most of them aren't very long lasting.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Indeed. There are a few in particular that make me glad of that.

Hammerhead shark. :|

Not dangerous, I suppose, but it isn't exactly convenient.

lolol nice

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

I would imagine not. You're alright though?

How could I do anything but? >D

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm alright.

You seem especially happy today.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it.

I am. It's a good day. For once I don't have any reason not to be happy.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful to hear, then! I hope that you get many more upcoming.

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

Thank you. So do I and hopefully my good fortune today will be catching.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

One can only hope.
