case #003 ☕ [dicated]/[action]
[If anyone walks into the kitchen, they will spot an unfamiliar teenager rifling through the kitchen cabinets. A coffee craft sits next to the sink filled with water, and the young brunette manages to knock a bag of coffee out of one of the cabinets, powdering it all across the counter.]
Oh crap.
[Her journal is open on the counter next to her, recording every frustrated grunt and mumble. Although residents of the castle might not recognize her, Kate Beckett is no stranger to the castle at all - even though she remembers it as a confused seventeen year old and not as a grown adult.]
Ugh, is there anyone around here that knows how to work the freaking coffee machine? I cannot do today without some caffeine.
[As it happens, even as a teenager, Kate still can't make a decent cup of coffee. She also happens to be experiencing her first temporary loss.]

Uh... No?

[So the castle had regressed her. Actually, it made sense that Kate didn't know anything about being a cop, but Alexis was confused as to how Kate knew her. It didn't follow - but when had the castle ever made sense?]
Well. Let me see if I can help you with the coffee maker.
action;
[ All Kate wanted was some coffee. The castle was bad enough without dealing with caffeine withdrawal. ]
action;
So, how old are you? [She asked over her shoulder.]

[It dawned on Alexis then that if this Kate wasn't even 18 yet, then her mother was still alive. She turned to look at her, as if expecting to see an entirely different person.]

action;
Yeah I'm lucky, I know...
[She managed to get the machine working again and stood back while the coffee percolated.]
So.. what kinds of things did you like to do in NYC?
action;
[ Kate offered Alexis a smile. ]
I like to go out with my friends... Go to movies, shows, book signings... I went to New York Comic Con last year, that was fun, too. That probably sounds lame, huh?
action;
Oh, I did that too a few years ago. I wore a fuzzy bikini top and my dad flipped. And he's the one who's all worried about accuracy in costuming.
action;
You dress up? Shut the front door, that is awesome. I've been meaning to do that, but I haven't found anything I'd want to wear yet.
action;
It was really just that one year I went. Dad was going to be there because he and.... the.. detective that he works with were investigating a case there.
action;
action;
Investigating a case. I think an actor got killed at the con. Or, they traced a murder suspect to the con. It involved Nebula 9, I think.
action;
[ She paused for a moment, frowning. She looked around and lowered her voice. ]
Wait. You said I'm a detective. And I'm supposed to be marrying your dad. So am I the detective he works with? [ She didn't really believe it - she did think the castle was playing with Alexis' memory - but that didn't mean she wasn't curious. ]
Re: action;
Yeah.. that's how you two met. I mean, not on that particular case, but someone was doing copycats of murders from my dad's books and he came in to consult. After that he kind of.. never left.
action;
[ Well, that was new. Kate had no idea, which is clear from the look on her face. ]
Okay, let's assume that this is true - which, I don't think it is but - if it is true... I was going to school to be a lawyer. Why would I end up being a cop instead? I've never really been interested in being a cop.

[Having this time with a teenage version of Kate is interesting. She wonders if this is her true personality, underneath all of the angst and heartache the Kate she knows suffers from. Admittedly, more of her personality was coming through lately thanks to her relationship with Alexis's father.]
