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.

So I heard it's Genius' birthday soon.

And it'll be my birthday, too! How about that?

Mr. Grift, would you mind terribly if a bunch of partygoers descended on your place sometime around 7 on Sunday? I'll bring the cake and they'll bring the cheer.

[[OOC: There's a smear of what looks suspiciously like maple syrup at the top of the page. Hmm. Also, Derrick is not affected by Mad Libs.]]

Here's a bit of free and sage advice, Sphere.

If someone offers to give you an Awful Waffle, DON'T TAKE IT.

It's not a food.

Let us leave it at that and never speak of it again.

Man, these little phone things are great. I now know what my next childrens' book is going to be- "Bernard Guesses Your Weight In Pigs". Or perhaps "Bernard And The Clacks", once I figure out what in the hell a clack is.

...OK, so the concept needs work, but the point is I can't wait to see what other pearls of wisdom and inspiration this has to offer.

Oh, yes, and I look very very fetching in those nice robes you get in the Wilderness. I'm a Ravenclaw!

... place seems kinda familiar, though. Not TOO familiar, just vaguely.

[[OOC: It has been established in Castle canon that Harry Potter is indeed a real series of fiction books, so yeah. XD]]

Tsk, tsk. Man-twin, I am disappoint. You still haven't gotten rid of your kitty ears OR your unicorn.

I tried to rent one for you, by the way, but they ran out. [Added in later.] And by one I mean "a unicorn", of course.

Coming soon- the touching tale of a pink sea monster and the one-eyed banana puppet that becomes her best friend and confidante.

The sequel to "Our Friend Nannerpus"... "My Friend Bernard".

You know what sucks? Making books. Jeez. There has GOT to be an easier way to do this, especially if I'm going to be writing longer stories.

But worry not for now. My hard work has finally paid off.

ATTENTION EDENSPHERE!

I am proud to announce the completion of my first masterwork, a story about a friendly banana puppet we all know and love, entitled "Our Friend Nannerpus"! Authored by me, Derrick, and illustrations provided by a lovely person who wishes to remain anonymous. There are limited quantities available... very limited... as in... they're not for sale right now, just to be borrowed. I don't seem to be able to catch the guy who runs the bookstore, so please stop by my place in Section 3 if you're interested.

AND YOU SHOULD BE.

Play nice, everyone~ we'll all get a chance to read it eventually.

[[OOC: And there you go! "Our Friend Nannerpus" is a short childrens' story about Nannerpus and his pancake-giving generosity, and I don't feel like coming up with the whole thing so- ah, feel free to make shit up? XD There will be 5 copies floating around (there were 6, but he saved the first copy for his man-twin, awwww) all put together and hand-written by Derrick, with illustrations done by an NPC.

ALSO, HAVE A FREELY-GANKABLE COMMEMORATIVE ICON]]
