Twenty-Third Draft [Video] Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board

[cuffmeonce]

[Castle is standing in the kitchen. There is Italian Opera music turned up much too loudly and it is pouring out the open windows of the rented beach house. He is meticulously layering noodles, sauce, cheese and meat for lasagna. He is also singing. Badly. Not real Italian or real Opera. Just making up his own words and uttering noises that

This is his plotty "You have a daughter?" face.

So this place has a beach does it? Anything else I need to know about this place?

mwhahahaha

[cuffmeonce]

It does. A number of things I'm sure. Have you looked at the guide?

There's a fucking guide to this place? What kind of morose and bored bastard actually took the time to make one? And why the fuck didn't they give 'em out?

[trolloboros]

Hate to say it but I didn't even know there was a guide.

Re: 2/2

[cuffmeonce]

There are five of them

[trolloboros]

[Takes the time to download them all. Information gathering and all that for potential plots and all that...]

It's almost like they decided to update it like an encyclopedia.

[cuffmeonce]

Something like that. They've got good information though.

[trolloboros]

Thanks for the guides, hopefully they'll help me learn what I need to about this place.

[cuffmeonce]

You're welcome. If you've got any other questions let me know. I've been here for a little while. I'm Rick Castle.

[trolloboros]

[Aaaannddd potential pawn/info mule #1 is found.]

Hazama. Nice to meet you, Rick....Mr.Castle. I can call you Rick can't I?

[cuffmeonce]

Sure. Nice to meet you, Hazama. Just arrive?

[trolloboros]

Quite suddenly might I add. Is there anyway I can actually leave this place anytime soon?

[cuffmeonce]

Not that I've heard anyone has found out. You're stuck here until the City decides to send you home.

However no one at home will know you're missing and time won't actually progress forward.

[trolloboros]

[Holds off on cursing after that little tidbit of information at the end.]

You absolutely sure about that?

[cuffmeonce]

That I can verify. I was sent home once for a few months in my world. A week or so here.

[trolloboros]

Interesting...almost as if some form of temporal mechanics is at play.
