[ private to Alexis | unhackable ]
Hey Alexis, your dad didn't come into work today. I checked the Hall as I passed, and he's there. I'm on my way to your apartment, okay? Bringing a couple pints of Very Cherry with extra chocolate sauce.

[ flagged to friends of Richard Castle | public ]
Richard Castle has left the City. Yes, I checked. If anyone needs me I'll be available via the network.


[ooc: breaking hiatus briefly to announce Castle's start of a canon bump ^^ I suck at this staying away thing.]

It sounds like it's really difficult for you. I'm assuming you didn't choose the work?

If you don't mind my asking: do you-- have you done your work here at all? I'm apologize if I'm being too forward, please stop me if you feel uncomfortable answering. I'm unfortunately sorely inexperienced with anything beyond the scope of hard facts. Maybe a downfall of being a detective...

No, I was born, engineered really, to have this gift.

And no, I haven't taken any lives here... I learned quite early that this world doesn't see my gift the way mine does.

I kind of assumed as much. I've felt that way before, but I guess you mean in a much different way.

But you know for a fact that your ability works in the City?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Yes... apparently I used it once, inappropriately, on another person. I stopped before she was killed, but I caused her a great deal of pain. I don't remember it though, but there are network posts on it.

I'm sorry to hear that. Would you mind if I tracked it down? I don't want to invade your privacy, but if I know more, maybe I could help. With so many brilliant people in the City, there's got to be some kind of safegaurd for you. So you don't have to stay so isolated.

I hope it won't be long, I'm making progress already.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

I'll look into it, but no promises. I'd hate to get your hopes up, when I might not deliver. But I'll do my best.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, if there's one thing I've learned in my life it's that hope is often hollow.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

I hate to say I know how you feel, but I understand that sentiment.

Listen, Mara, if you ever want to talk or grab coffee or something... I'd be happy for the company.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Perhaps... when I'm more sure of myself. For your sake.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Of course. I should get back to the office, but I'll check in on you again later if you wouldn't mind.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Of course, Detective.
