Chapter Seventeen [Action/Written, forward-dated slightly to tomorrow]
Written, filtered to Kate Beckett
Kate? I haven't been able to find you since things went all Leave It To Beaver-ville on us. Are you okay?
Action, forward-dated to December 23rd
[Well, hadn't that been a blast from the past? But now that things were back to normal in Paradisa, Castle couldn't find Kate. It shouldn't have been that difficult, considering that they lived together, and yet there was no response from her. She hadn't gone home, since her name was still there...
And then he finally understood when he found a mockup of a Nikki Heat book on his nightstand. She'd become fiction. It was one of those losses that sometimes happened, but Castle wished it didn't have to happen NOW.
In a fit of very un-holidaylike grumpiness, Castle had wished up an unadorned metal pole and gone to the lobby, spending some time setting it up and hanging a sign next to it reading "HAPPY FESTIVUS!"]
Written, December 23rd
Paradisa, I am disappoint. We got sent back in time to the 50's and not any of the other nice suggestions everyone else provided? Unless something happens in the next week or so, I guess the betting pool for this month is a bust.
[A pause and some pen taps before he continues:]
Kate Beckett's gone missing. Not missing as in gone-home, but I think she's having one of those temporary losses that's turned her into an inanimate object. The place could have picked a better time to do it, but oh well. It's a Festivus miracle. I'll be silently airing my grievances into a pint of my own beer.
[Open to either action or written responses. Also, for those who are wondering what the heck Castle is on, here is an explanation. A FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US]

Dictated forever
...What's Festivus?
Forever
Festivus is... the anti-Christmas, if you will. It started off as a joke on a TV show, but turned into a thing people actually celebrate.
no subject
Oh. Well that sounds much more agreeable. Nothing to compare to Hosgwatch, mind you, but it has to be better than Christmas.
no subject
Normally I'm a huge fan of Christmas, but... this is the first one I'll have spent without my daughter. And since Kate's AWOL, that dampens my Christmas spirit a bit. So screw it- it's Festivus for the rest of us.

Booze is always an acceptable way to spend one's time. Except for hangovers, but I try to hold myself back.
