[Have the sounds of an agitated AI storage united coming through the journal as the text appears.] Nononono. Not this again. You have got to be fucking kidding me. Castle...

I do not like this. Let me out of here. Why?

(OOC note: The noises would be roughly similar to the ones being made by the Epsilon AI unit in the very beginning of this episode.)

[That text stands out on blank pages, and given that his journal suddenly found itself on his lap, it wasn't something Rookie could easily miss. That and the strange noise proved to pique his interest as well.]

... Something wrong?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

It's Washington, Rookie,

I'm currently in an AI storage unit.

[helljumper]

-- What?

[Okay, yeah, that was definitely something that caught him off guard.]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Loss made me an AI.

[helljumper]

... Wasn't that something the castle did to you before?

[And more importantly.]

Are you okay?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Of course it did.

... I've been better. A lot better. But I'm not too bad off this time.

[helljumper]

Suppose things do get easier if you've experienced them already.

But is there anything I can do to help?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Not much at the moment...

Just wish York wasn't a toy right now.

[helljumper]

I'm sure he'll be back to normal soon.

Castle has a funny way of timing things, though.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I know.

I hate this.

[helljumper]

[Fff, that gets a sympathetic look down at those words. More so at the fact that Rookie couldn't really think of anything to say or do that could help the freelancer, but then again there really wasn't a lot of things that could be done with castle stuff.]

You at least have someone looking after you?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Yes.

[helljumper]

[Ok, good. He just wanted to make sure considering... well, York's a toy and Kat was no longer here.]

All right. [Faint smile.] Glad to hear it.

You need anything though, don't hesitate to ask.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Will do.
