30th arrest (video/text); nobody said it was easy, it's such a shame for us to part

[thiswallinside]

off network | private A notepad. That's what I have to remember the kid by, a damn notepad. I don't really even care about the workload doubling up again, gives me less time to think about everything else. If he was going back to something, maybe that would be okay. Maybe it'd be less ... depressing. Because now he's just gone. And I have to stay here with people who make everything okay. Not sure I want to be okay. Not after being here for a year. Nobody should be okay with that. Gotta check up on Myrnin today. Damn, we need more help.

Be careful with all the snow back, everyone. The holidays are to spend time with friends and family, but party responsibly. Don't spend it in an overnight visit with your neighborhood cops. We like you, just not that much.

Everyone have a good holiday? Cause from what I'm seeing, we still have an officer in the hospital and no idea what the hell is wrong with him.

I'm still waiting on reports from Forensics. Anything from Intel would be nice; talk to his neighbors, friends, family? If Pendleton were still here, I'd probably actually have some results and you wouldn't have to deal with me directly. I don't see something on my desk by the end of today, I'm coming up there myself and trust me when I say you really don't want that.

I'm assuming some external force affecting him; curse, deity bullshit, whatever. Still, let's keep things simple as far as the public's concerned and keep him under control. If someone else pops up with the same tendencies, then we start asking people to be careful.

Unless everyone's tired of doing their jobs? Because hell, I can just cut all these paychecks and funnel it into robots that'll actually do work.


castle family filter;
Gonna be back to the old schedule, guys. With Justin gone... [ nope, don't mull it over ] anyway. Alexis, he left you something for Christmas; I'm sorry I didn't get it sooner, between the holidays and a mess at the offices, I just... Well, anyway, I can give it to you when I get home tonight. Might be late, so if you're asleep, I'll leave it on the living room table for you.


[ooc: To Alexis, from Justin (via Veda): There will also be another package inside of Beckett's that says "To Alexis" on it. No, Justin didn't intend to deliver it in person. Girls are terrifying. There will be a book in there--The Complete Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge--with a note on the inside cover:

"Henceforth I shall know
That Nature ne'er deserts the wise and pure;
No plot so narrow, be but Nature there,
No waste so vacant, but may well employ
Each faculty of sense, and keep the heart
Awake to Love and Beauty! and sometimes
'Tis well to be bereft of promis'd good,
That we may lift the soul, and contemplate
With lively joy the joys we cannot share."]

... I'm back at the apartment with Aya and Umi.

And not raging out anymore?

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Not at the moment, but it's... kinda come and go. One of Umi's friends made this potion thing that helps. It's not a permanent solution, though. At least that's what he tells me. I have to be careful. Anger or frustration makes me snap again...

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Do you have any leads, Kate?

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Still sifting through the info we've got, building a timeline. It's building up solidly, though. I'm heading this one personally, Mara.

How are you feeling?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I'm not the one who's holding onto his sanity through willpower and magic.

I'll bring dinner up for you.

I'm also offering to fill in for Justin. For a little while.

You don't have to do that, really. I'm just going to be staring at this board all night anyway. But you could bring Alexis' present home for her, maybe.

Re: Castle Family Filter

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

I know I don't have to. I'll be up there in a little while and once we're done I'll bring the present home.

Don't suppose you might happen to embody the letter and law here, might you?

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Something like that. Chief Beckett - is there a problem?

[morsmordre-met.livejournal.com]

Only in that I've a number of inquiries with the local authorities. Care to indulge a student?

I'm working on it. My guess? Virus. We had something sort of like this in my world.

I'm figuring you don't want me to shoot him in the head so it's gonna take time.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well work faster. I want to know exactly, Winchester, not your guesses.

Fine. When the hospital bitches because I cut him with a silver knife you're bailin' my ass out.

[And he's off to the hospital to run 'tests' which yes do include slicing him with a silver knife]

I'm still all for doing whatever's possible to figure out what happened. But at least Ken's stable. For now.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Good to know. Anything unusual happen since?

You've lost Justin? Damn. Hope he comes back soon.

Let me know if there's anything I can help with, as always. I'll watch for similar aggressive behavior when I wander tonight.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. It wasn't long last time, but. Yeah.

I will. Thanks, Gabriel.

How much do you like the general population, then?

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Oh, so much. If I could just take you all home with me and feed you and burp you, then. Then I might feel purposeful. If wishes were horses, I guess.

Um......so Piglet attacked Sam....and that rock star bloke. D'you reckon that's related? Cos he did attack them. I think. Though I wasn't there, an' I don't really see 'ow Piglet could attack folk, but they seem t' think 'e did, so I dunno.

We won't know without more details, so. Go get me some and we'll see, Chris. You know. Police work.

Need some help at work? I could be a part-timer. Plus I'm very dependable with paperwork.

I'll wait up for you and keep some dinner warm.

I don't know...I'm not a very nice boss at the moment, Alexis...

It's okay, your dad said he was bringing something by, don't worry about me.
