Chapter nine

This is an amazing suit. I mean, I've worn suits before, but this is... dare I say... awesome.

As far as random occurences go, couldn't have asked for anything better than a free suit. Especially since I'm luckier than some of you appear to be.

[have the most WISTFUL SIGH ever, Castle]

Oh, man, I'd give my left arm for a good suit right now... you don't even want to know what I'm stuck in.

Something not as awesome as your usual self, no doubt.

[let's just put it this way: his co-hostess would like it much more]

Yeeeeeah, understatement. We taking bets on how long we're stuck in this stuff? Oh, and speaking of bets, I wonder if this counts for the betting pool.

I'm game. It's not like I have much else to do with the money I get here.

How much we putting on the line, here? And how specific are we gonna be about length?

I'll look into what I have stuffed under my mattress. And I'll say to the day; I don't know if everything starts and ends at midnight, but it's reasonable to assume it does, so to the hour wouldn't really work.

Sounds good. I'll put my money on four days. Enough caisos for whatever they charge for a round of laser tag these days.

... laser tag, you say?

I do, indeed. There's a place in town... If the earthquake didn't level it while I was away.

I've played a game or two in my day. We should go check it out some time.

Oh, totally. I was hoping I'd find a good laser tag partner.... I came back from the Dead Zone and found out the castle sent my last one home, it sucked.

Tsk tsk, how rude of it. I will warn you that I am quite skilled.

Oho, a challenger appears to besmirch the mighty name of Stinson. ... Bring it.

Challenge accepted.

Just name the day, bro. I'm there.

Will this be a one-on-one match, or will we be recruiting teams?

Hmmm. Mano a mano to start with, and then if we need to bring teams into it, we will.

Deal.

You can keep the suits. I'm sick of the crap already.

I'd take a suit over being stuck in a dress any day.

I just want to be out of this thing and that stupid music.

... music?

Yeah, give it about ten seconds and I'm sure the stupid thing will do it again.

[True to her word, there was a pause, movement and then a blaring brass section he would recall from any of his Ian Flemming love fests.]
