Chapter Eleven

[thebestseller]

Ohohohoho, very funny, Paradisa. Nice way to have a delayed reaction to my conversation with Barney, too. I can live with the outfit, but expecting me to sing about how my life is a mystery is right out.

[Temp loss time for Castle again. This time he is dressed as Rocky Horror- i.e. gold underwear and gold boots.]

Action

[Meg rounds the corner and stops dead in her tracks when she sees Rocky's stunt double, and promptly bursts out laughing.]

Wow. Woe is you, huh?

Action

[Castle is... getting a little embarrassed, truthfully, but he takes the time to strike a pose anyway.]

The Sword of Damocles appears to be hanging over my head.

Action

[Meg is incredibly amused and mentally thanks Castle Wonderfuck for this entertaining surprise. She fleetingly wonders to herself if the full cast is wandering around somewhere and if she can get them to do the time warp.]

So, any special occasion or are you just dressed up with no place to go?

Oh, I just felt like it. ... actually, it's the castle's doing. It happens sometimes- the residents call them temporary losses. I had a cardboard cutout of myself following me around once.

Interesting. You know what's funny? I've heard how something is always taken from you when you get here, but I haven't noticed anything... missing yet. I'm sure I'll have the pleasure of finding out eventually, though. I'm Meg, by the way. Should I call you Rocky, or...?

Castle is fine, actually. Yeah, when I first got here, Paradisa was like, yo, we heard you like castles so here's a Castle in your castle.

[Because he's never going to get tired of that joke, nope. He then scratches his head.]

It's hard to figure out what you lost sometimes. Me, I can't drink coffee. Well, I can, but every time I try it tastes so unbelievably bad I can't stomach it.

[She laughs, grateful that someone else around here is making references.]

That's awful, but at least it's just coffee and not booze. That would be a travesty.
