Look at me, I'm made of wonderful, wonderful

[This entry is forward-dated slightly to midday tomorrow. The writing is still recognizable as Castle's, but the hand trembles a little.]

Promise ----> Alexis
Nikki ----> Detective Kate Beckett


I'm a mystery writer. Nikki- Kate- wasn't isn't my wife, but she's a homicide detective, and we're partners. I shadow her and help her solve cases because she's the inspiration for my new series of books. I live in a loft apartment with my daugher, Alexis, and my mom, Martha. I'm famous, too. REALLY famous.

Alexis is waiting for me. I [There's a long pause here, and the writing becomes steadier, but slower as he carefully considers each word and phrase.]

I've made a lot of friends here. All of you have helped me through some tough times and been the best friends... and everything else... a guy could ask for. "Thank you" doesn't seem like enough at this point, not nearly. I'm never going to forget any of you.

But my daughter is back home. She needs me. And I'll keep having adventures. Not without saying goodbye in person, not without making arrangements first, but... I'm going home.

THAT OLD LADY I'VE CHANGED BODIES WITH BEFORE IS MY MOTHER.

This means that I HAVE SEEN MY MOTHER NAKED.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH "DO NOT WANT" IN THIS WORLD.

[The writing is a little sloppy, but recognizable as Rick's neat hand still.]

Man, this mechanical arm is so stylin'. Makes it a bit hard to write, though. And this hat makes me look ready to go on safari and have adventures.

I think I will turn this into a short story. Edensphere Mechanical Safari.

RICHARD CASTLE

[[OOC: The following is added later.]] That's my name, don't wear it out.

Don't everyone come clamoring for my autograph, now. I am trying to stay as humble and down-to-earth as I possibly can.

Oh, and nobody go down to the Wilderness with Charger. Stupid cheese-for-brains ditched me.

Sphere, I am disappoint. I expected loads and loads of ball jokes this go round. Do I have to start listing them myself? Don't let me down.

Or are you too busy dodging the things and having swordfights on the pirate ship?

Well, Genius and I are both old ladies now, so at least we're in good company.

He hasn't stopped screaming for, like, 10 minutes.

[Derrick is his mother, Martha Rodgers.]

Attention to all my friends, peers and would-be stalkers:

Yes, I have talked to Promise, and yes, she knows she's my daughter now.

So you can stop talking about me or whatever the heck else it is you're doing.

Now Genius just needs to get his dorky butt back here and I can breathe easy.

If I'm gonna be doing this ninja thing, I need a flashy new codename.

Derrick the Water Beetle? Nah...

Or how about Flash. Yeah. My ninja superhero name shall be FLASH. Genius can be the Water Beetle.

... anyone have any better ideas?

Man-twin, pack up your bags. I, among others, have joined the elite ranks of the Guides and now have the illustrious job of welcoming naked people to this crazy hippie commune.

Which means we now get CUSHY SECTION 4 DIGS. Heat. Air. SPACE in which you can conduct your science and play with your star-friend. Let's get going already and into the lap of luxury.

[Hastily added in.]

Boss. Buddy. Pal. Section 4 only has two bedrooms, I'm afraid. So unless you like couches...
