[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.]

[Kate had tried. She had really tried to totally ignore the egg. She had ignored it when she'd woken up to find it had appeared on Castle's bed stand. She ignored it when he started poking it excitedly. She ignored it when she came into the room and found it sitting nestled between her pillow and some blankets. She ignored it so much, and with so much of her heart and soul, she was almost sure at some point she would blink and it would simply vanish.

Instead, it hatched.]

Hey. Hey! No, off the bed! Off the bed! What, you want to chew up the other pillow too? How about my shoes? You want one of those, too!

[It takes a moment for Kate to realize her journal is open. Mainly because the small direwolf puppy that hatched is now chewing on the corner, droplets of drool hitting the paper and she swats him to get him away.]

Castle! I swear... [She is going to strangle him. But since her journal is already open, she might as well take some advantage of it.] Does anyone have any... I don't know, dog food?

[Scrawled across the page in all caps, neatly, is the one word that sums up Kate Beckett's last few hours.]

SERIOUSLY?

I know we've all had a rough time of it lately, and I was hoping to get something planned to bring everyone together, where we can be support each other and maybe lighten the mood a little?

I don't mind planning it, but I wanted to get some ideas from you. Is there any event in particular you'd like to see?

[Kate's handwriting is neat and precise, with very little femininity to it. Right now, she's all business.]

Mark mentioned safety plans the other day, and I know we've discussed it before. I think we should establish some safe zones for evacuation, just in case. This voice thing is giving me the creeps, and it's been a while since something catastrophic happened. I think we're due.

So we need safe areas and people in charge of getting others to those areas. Any volunteers?

[Kate's wounded and cradling her left arm to her chest as best she can. She is ducking down in a alcove off the main tunnel, trying to stay out of sight for a moment to catch her breath. She's faced death before, she's been shot before, but she's never experienced such absolute terror. She's being hunted, and in between the pain and trying to survive, she has to deal with these...visions. Horrible visions of the people she loves, dead and dying. Finally, it becomes too much, and she risks pulling out her journal, desperate for any kind of human contact that isn't trying to murder her. When she speaks, it's a frantic whisper.]

There aren't many of us left. Do not attempt rescue. The evil here will take all of us eventually, you shouldn't sacrifice yourselves. Just stay safe.

[Filtered to Castle]

I need to say goodbye.

[Kate has long since given up on the blood stain over her heart. She had panicked at first, but once she couldn't find a wound, she gave up, putting on a shirt and walking to the mirror.

That's when she notices it. Black letters spelling LIAR perfectly across her lips, almost like grotesque stitching. She tries scrubbing, then lipstick, then concealer and lipstick. The black letters don't even fade. With a sigh, she reaches for her journal.]

I think I'm going to lay low for a few days, and hope this blood and freaky word phenomena passes quickly.

[Remembering what Rise had said about the Four Seasons Room, Kate decided it was time to check out the beach. She'd tracked it down while exploring the castle. She hadn't gotten around to exploring the surrounding village yet, but it was on her to-do list. For now, though, she could use some sun and relaxation.

She slipped into her swimsuit, pulled on a cover-up, then packed a few things in a beach bag and headed to the beach. She spread out her towel and laid down, closing her eyes with a smile. Yep, this could definitely become one of her favorite spots in the castle.]

[ooc: open for action!]

[A throat clearing is heard, Kate's still not entirely sure how this journal's supposed to work]

Is there some kind of law enforcement organization here? I'm a cop back home, and I was curious if there's any need for that service.

No one else seems surprised to be here, but it's all new to me. After perusing this journal thing (which is a lot like facebook stalking, by the way), I figured I'd see if someone could catch me up?

I'm Kate Beckett, and I'm not really a castle fan.
