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.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

And not raging out anymore?

private voice

[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?

Castle Family Filter

[cuffmeonce.livejournal.com]

I'll bring dinner up for you.

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

[morsmordre-met.livejournal.com]

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

private voice

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Okay, great. Love being updated so well. We need to beef this force up again, apparently.

Do you need any additional detail over there or will Aya and Umi be okay looking after you?

[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?

Castle Family Filter

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

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.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

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

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

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

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Magic? [God she's so sick of magic.] Is that...?

[morsmordre-met.livejournal.com]

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

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

I can't assure you I've got good answers, but shoot. And keep in mind I'm short on time.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Umi has a friend that made the... potion I guess, that's helping him stay in control.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

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.

[morsmordre-met.livejournal.com]

You're most accommodating, my thanks. Well, to keep matters brief and not further exhaust your possibilities during the festivities: would it be at all possible to access the oldest criminal records available with the force?

I imagine a number of these... conflicts were generated by they who, like myself, found themselves foreign to this City. And that knowing them will prove greatly beneficial to my efforts of finding a way out.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. So we're talking quick fix and not a cure, then. Great.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, any reports filed that aren't open investigations at the moment are open to the public, actually. We can have a request put in for you in order to receive them, it's a simple process but again, I can't guarantee speed.

Give me a couple days and if you don't have something, let me know and I'll see what I can expedite for you.

Police Filter

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

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

[morsmordre-met.livejournal.com]

Thank you - thank you endlessly. You've made yourself perfectly useful.

That'll be to Tom Riddle. If you've need of further details, do let me know.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

No, it's not...

Re: Police Filter

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

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]

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.

I should've called you and told you. That was my doing, I guess. I just got back here in time for my birthday and it's been a little hectic since then. I'm sorry.

Aya can handle me just fine. He's got access to sedatives in case he needs them.
