[ when the feed comes up, you can see kate sitting at a desk. around her are piles of boxes, stacked on the desk she's sitting at as well as the floor and the tables around her. the room looks a little dim, like it hadn't been opened in months and just left to collect dust. kate, herself, has been trying to organize the room in some way- though at this point it looks like she's just messed it up more than ever before.

she's part-way through running her fingers through her hair when the video comes up, catching the tail end of --er good at paperwork before she realizes the bracelet's on and she smiles, sitting up a little straighter. ]

I'm Kate Beckett, for those here who are...well. I guess new wouldn't be the right word. I was here in Asgard before, a few months ago, so there might be some people who remember this, but-

Last time I was in the city I was a part of an organization, called the Forensics Unit. It was started up by Conan Edogawa, to act as a sub-set of the hospital laboratory for investigation into suspicious deaths and accidents in the city. I've got a- [ she makes a scrunched up face, pressing a few buttons on the bracelet before relaxing again. ] More information's attached to this message, but I'm here to ask if there's anyone in the city now who is interested.

[ at this point, a ruggedly handsome face creeps into the corner of the video screen next to kate’s. ] Besides me, she means. Although I’m really all the partner she needs. [ castle raises an eyebrow. it’s not that he doesn’t want more people to join the forensics unit, he just likes making it clear that he’s one kate’s greatest assets.

kate just kind of rolls her eyes at the camera, looking over at him with a vaguely unimpressed, though fairly fond expression until he moves back out of the screen and she turns her attention back to the camera. ]

I'm- I was just a detective back home. NYPD. Conan was more concerned with the actual forensics investigation side of it, but we did some good as a unit. With as big as this city is, and has gotten since I left, having a team that was at least familiar with how to solve cases was useful. There were times we acted as first responders, but that wasn't the original purpose. [ kate pauses a moment here, as if she's trying to remember if there's anything else she should add, before shifting a little in her seat and continuing. ] If anyone here has previous experience with law enforcement, or something similar, let me know.

[ off screen, castle’s voice can be heard again. ] We’ll take crime novelists too. Obviously.

[This would be written, but Itachi doesn't trust his handwriting at the moment. As it is, the voice on the other end is rather tired sounding. He wasn't a combatant, but he might as well have been for all the pain and injuries he insisted on taking upon himself.]

I am a ninja, for what its worth, and I have some skills in that department even if it isn't exactly what you're looking for.

My clan... they used to run the police department in our village.

A...ninja?

[ for all it's worth, kate manages to keep any level of possible judgement, possible disbelief, out of her voice. when she thinks of ninjas she thinks of jackie chan movies, and even then...

but then she has to remind herself of where she is and what she's doing. here, in asgard, it's possible for these things to happen. for people to be things she never thought honestly possible. ]

How did your department work? In your village? [ the question is an honest one. she's just trying to figure out how different things will be. ]

Edited 2014-01-23 00:32 (UTC)

My village revolves around training and housing the ninja of our nation. The task force was specially designed to keep tabs only on other ninja. It was a special sort of unit.

Aside from that, I was a captain in the black ops division. [When he was thirteen. Briefly. Mostly he's been a member of a criminal organization. For reasons.]

I have experience with many things related to forensics even if I was not involved directly with our own department.

[ it's the mention of ninja that keeps throwing her off. the rest of the description, or explanation, makes sense. ]

That's good to hear. Would you want to be involved with the unit here? Chances are it won't have the same responsibilities as the one you're used to.

It would be something worth getting involved with, I think.

Should I not meet the requirements for some of what needs doing, I am a relatively fast learner.

Don't worry about that. Once we get a little more of this set up, there will be a meeting discussing guidelines. Get everyone to the same place before we begin.

A lot of what we do is individual work, but it'll be important to make sure we're all on the same page.

[He nods.] Understandable.

Then consider this a statement of interest and a desire to be included in the aforementioned meeting.

I'll put you down and contact you when we get the details worked out. Do you have another job or anything time-wise to work around?

[This time he shakes his head.]

No. Not at the moment. I've been looking for something appropriate for some time.

Well, I can't promise you any form of payment. Not yet, at least. So if you do find a job let me know your schedule and we'll work around it.

Understandable.

I'm still looking and I'm still interested, so I will be sure to let you know.

Sounds good to me. And I'll send out more information when I have it.

Thank you. It is appreciated.
