hopefully bringing back an old muse!

[takes_careofher]

So, you've decided to, ah, "pick me up again", is it?

[ sigh ]

... I don't suppose I have any say in this, do I?

Comments

[writeswrongs]

Doesn't seem to be the way it works, unfortunately.

[takes_careofher]

Yes, I'm, uh, I'm beginning to see that.

[ Wait, what? OK, just staring forever now.

So, so unsure:]

... Captain?

[writeswrongs]

[Yeah he's throwing you off, isn't he?]

No. But I know who you think I am. Incredibly handsome man if I do say so myself.

[takes_careofher]

... Right.

[ Yeah, Simon doesn't agree with you there.

And now suspicious face is a go! ]

Well, if you're not the captain, then who are you?

[writeswrongs]

My name is Richard Castle and I'm a mystery novelist. Not as cool as having a career as a space cowboy, but I do like to play one in my spare time.

[takes_careofher]

I-- I see.

[ He kind of just stares for a moment, because seriously whoa. Before he remembers his manners and extends a hand. ]

I, um-- It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Castle. Ah-- apologies for the, um, for the confusion.

[shiniest]

Aw, it ain't so bad, really. Depends on what they got planned, but just playin' around's usually fine.

[takes_careofher]

Kaylee?

[ Smiling forever now. He's just so, so happy to see her ok. ]

Well, mine-- she just seems to be, um, keen on playing around. For the moment, at least.

[shiniest]

[Grins. Oh god the grins. She is always happy to see him, so it works out.]

Well, might be you'll wind up in any manner of odd places, but fun odd. Usually. It's nice t'stretch a little, y'know.

[takes_careofher]

[ He probably looks like a creeper - that's how wide his grin is right now. But he doesn't care because Kyalee. ]

Yes, well, I suppose. Um, do you-- are you in any games at the moment, Kaylee?

[shiniest]

[Sheepish shrugs.]

Ye-ah, that city with everyone havin' superpowers? S'okay.

have two Kaylees

[hot4engines]

Not sure I see the problem here ♥

/gathers up all the Kaylees <3

[takes_careofher]

[ Grins because Kaylee. ]

Well, it's certainly... ah, nice to know that you're here, Kaylee.

[hot4engines]

I'm glad to see you around, too.

[takes_careofher]

Um, how have you been?

[hot4engines]

My mun's had me in the same place for a while. Called New Moore. Ain't none of the crew here.

brand new shiny muse, be gentle with me

[lil_albatross]

And this picking up is problematic?

River <333 /gives you all the love

[takes_careofher]

I'm not quite... sure. It depends.

<333

[lil_albatross]

On what variables? It could be enjoyable.

[takes_careofher]

If she sends me to a game. There are certain games that really... aren't. Enjoyable.

[lil_albatross]

Yes. My mundane intends to send me to a not entirely unenjoyable game, although I'm not sure I trust her just yet.

[zoe_alleyne]

Reckon you're smart 'nuff to know the places to avoid. Just don't go gettin you an that sister of yours in too much trouble. After a piece on this crew you start to be family, and we don't much like it when bad comes to our family.

[takes_careofher]

[ A little smile at that. ]

I'll be sure to look out for River and myself.

[zoe_alleyne]

Captain'd never say it, but it's true an we all know it. We take care of our own, just like you take care of River.

[takes_careofher]

Oh, um, Zoe, that's--

[ Wow, ok. Look who's suddenly all emotional. ]

Thank you.
