On his debt at teleios

[writeswrongs]

17 years, 5 months??

You've got to be kidding me.

It's not like I've killed anybody. And most of that stuff I did in my wayward... earlier years. Should I really be punished for that?

Don't even try and tell me that you're going easy on me.

... And stop talking with your friends and coming up with more! I'm going to be there until I'm 90 at this rate.

What did you do now?

[writeswrongs]

It's not what I did, it's what I've done my entire life!

:)

[espo]

Well in that case, you are screwed Castle.

[writeswrongs]

She says she's going easy on me. Says she could make extra-marital sex a crime and bury me. Nice mun, huh?

[espo]

Damn man. Let's not try giving mine any ideas. Lucky for me she has no idea what she's doing with me.

[writeswrongs]

Mine thinks you should join Beckett and I in morality prison.

I wouldn't listen to her.

[mr_manners]

Could be worse. Could have over a hundred, and she hasn't even done half your canon yet.

[writeswrongs]

Wow.

Are you a serial killer or something?

[mr_manners]

No.

[there's a beat]

I was a Roman for a while, though.

[writeswrongs]

... How exactly did that work?

Wait, are you immortal? Because I'd imagine that being immortal would cause you to rack up a serious amount of debt.

[mr_manners]

Not.

Well.

It's complicated. But I spent about 2000 years as a plastic robot protecting my wife while she was coming back from the dead.

[Castle, welcome to Rory's life.]

[itswhoyouare]

Wow, Castle. I'll be outta here before you even put a dent in that.

[writeswrongs]

Thanks, Anna.

[themuse]

I don't even wanna hear it.

[writeswrongs]

Yours is less than mine and you've killed people. How is that even possible?

[themuse]

Person, thanks. And probably because outside of work, I don't take every chance I can to amuse myself by breaking the law.

[writeswrongs]

I haven't broken the law in a while. Most of what she's got me on isn't illegal.

Besides, have I done anything that's actually truly bad?

[themuse]

I wouldn't take it personally, Castle. She got me on my shoes. It's not exactly a reflection of our moral standing.

OC's dad basically IS Castle, only as a sci-fi writer

[greymelee]

I wonder if "contributing to the decline of morality by sensationalizing violence and sex through literature" counts.

[writeswrongs]

It might.

Someone should let E.L. James know.

[like_a_gerbil]

I don't think I want my mundane looking at that list and figuring out what my debt would be.

[writeswrongs]

More than 17 years, 5 months, I take it?

[like_a_gerbil]

[Steve looks slightly embarrassed since his mundane keeps laughing over the debt she could total up for him.]

I served in the war. [Pausing, he remembers that reference doesn't work the way it had a few decades ago.] In World War II. I think I'd automatically get a couple of life sentences.

[writeswrongs]

Mmm. They don't really end up giving life sentences. It's only a year per person you've killed.

[like_a_gerbil]

The number would still be pretty high. She thinks just for 'sassing' I'd get a life sentence.

If you didn't - uh - kill someone, how'd you get the seventeen years?
