26th Draft [Video] On a steel horse I ride

[cuffmeonce]

[The video comes up on Castle pacing in Xanadu. He is dressed exactly a lot like this man. He rakes a hand through his hair and gives the device a doubtful look]

Now what I want to know is where is my gorram ship? Wouldn't turn down knowin' where my mechanic and my first mate are either but I imagine you get me my ship and I'll find them soon enough.

[ooc: sooooooo Castle has changed genres. He is now...a Space Cowboy named Rick Castle. He's looking for Alexis and Beckett. Replies will come from cpttightpants]

[Just...a groan. And a second groan, though-- that one doesn't sound entirely Beckett-like. Much larger, actually.]

Your...what?

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Kate! Where in the blue hell have you been? Seen our boat 'round anywhere?

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, Castle. I've been at the station. With...problems of my own.

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Which station? Look 'round. Ship should be docked there.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

The police station. Halloween's like, over a month off still, Castle. Cut it out.

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Why in the blue hell does everyone think I'm playin' at Halloween? This is the coat I always wear an' since when did the Alliance start lettin' kids dress up like Browncoats?

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

[to someone else:] Yeah, I get that it's a curse!

Okay, Castle. Whatever. You're not gonna find your ship here anyway.

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Well I know I would have left her docked at the docking station. Now if someone's took her than we're gonna have words with that someone and I'm gonna need your back up.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

...And where's the docking station, again?

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

You said you were there! You feelin' alright, Kate? We gotta be tip top. They stole our ship I'm gonna be a might cranky and you know how well that's gonna end.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

No, I'm at my office. At the police precinct. Who the hell would steal your ship, anyway? You can't get anywhere in it here. [Oh God, now she's getting mixed up in it.]

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Infiltrating the law. Good thinking, Kate. Might want to check up on the warrants we got out on us. Helps to know what the Alliance is huntin' us down for this week.

What do you mean we can't get anywhere? 'Course we can. Head out toward the black and just disappear for a while.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

I'm not-- ugh, whatever. Fine, let me know when you find the ship and we'll go to the black.

Whatever that is...

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Knew you'd see thinks my way, Darlin' [Yes he winked at her]

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Whoah...Rick, did you just come back from an early Halloween party?

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

...

[He recognizes you. Shall we cast Huey as someone he did a job for once?]

It's just a coat. Got on sale even. Now you got some merchandise for us to move?

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

[He'll play along for a while.]

Didn't we already come to an agreement that I'd speak to your mechanic when I needed to move something? [And by this, he hopes the mechanic is Alexis just so he can see if Castle will overreact.]

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Now see I got a rule. No one sees my mechanic without me there to make sure everything's on the up an' up.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

I'm always on the up and up.

ilu for playing along

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Now so far you been straight and narrow with us but that don't mean I'm gonna start trustin' you with my mechanic.

it's all good, ya

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

But me and your mechanic get along well.

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Son, have you met my mechanic? Lil' Alexis gets along with everybody.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Which is why I'd rather talk with her than you. At least with her I don't have to worry about being shot at.

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Fine. But I will be watching and I will not hesitate to shoot you if I think you need shootin'.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Geez, calm down. It isn't like I'm going to sweep her off her feet that fast.

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

She's a little more difficult than that. Doesn't mean I'm not awful particular about who tries.

Ken is laughing at you ^^;

[soccershrimp.livejournal.com]

... dude, what?

Well it is amusing

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Beg pardon?

Very much so. Persoanlly, I'm loving it!

[soccershrimp.livejournal.com]

You talk like a cowboy pirate. That's lame.

Re: Very much so. Persoanlly, I'm loving it!

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Cowboy pirate? I been called both but never both at the same time. I'm a business man. Nothin' more.

[soccershrimp.livejournal.com]

You don't sound like a business man.

[cpttightpants.livejournal.com]

Well now I might not sound like any business man you know but that don't mean I'm not one.
