Greetings, Asgard.
[Listen up. Castle is actually on the network for something serious this time around.]
For those of you whom I haven't met yet, I'm Richard Castle - consulting detective and murder mystery writer. In fact, my books are available here in the library if you'd like to check them out, which I obviously highly encourage.
[Just because it's serious doesn't mean that he can't throw in a little bit of promotion.]
Anyway, as a writer, one of the things I've always wanted to accomplish, beyond entertaining people, is to help people through the art of writing. Recently I was approached with an opportunity to do such a thing.
Alison Argent [because he believes in giving the young lady credit] had the idea of starting a type of therapy group here where people would be able to journal about their experiences in Asgard, either as narratives or fictional stories. I know that many of us have been through a lot here in Asgard. It isn't always the... safest place to be.
[His eyes cloud for a moment as he thinks not so much of what he's been through but what Kate has been through. She's sacrificed so much of herself for this place, more even than what he feels is necessary, because that's the type of person that she is. Castle knows that a lot of the people here have a similar hero complex.]
Writing can be a very effective form of therapy. Are there people here that would be interested in a group like this? You can message me anonymously or privately if that makes you feel more comfortable. I'm also looking for someone with a background in psychology or medicine to help me run the group. I do want it to be legit, you know. [A smile. He had someone, a very nice young psychologist named Dr. Bloom, but she seems to have unfortunately disappeared from the directory.]
Alternatively, if you're looking for writing but not necessarily the therapy part, I'll be offering classes in creative writing at Severus Snape's school as soon as... the building gets sorted out. [Because yeah, lots of charred wood in there right now.]
And if you're unsure of what kind of teacher I would make, seriously, go check out the books.

People who wish to communicate with others, perhaps?

[Castle's pretty good at badgering.]
no subject
I guess it's okay then. [So reluctant. He sounds like that answer was pulled out of him against his will.]
no subject
Thank you. Without the written word we wouldn't be able to pass anything on through history, at least not as accurately.
no subject
Yes, we can. Just put it in a movie. Besides, history's stupid. And boring.
no subject
[Castle's kind of glad that Alexis never went through the 'everything is stupid and boring' phase.]

And, what? There are no action books where people fight and shit blows up?

Where do you think movies come from, son? Someone has to write them.

So why exactly did you feel the need to message me if writing and/or books are stupid?

Some people, who do like to write, might find it helpful.
You, obviously, would not.

[Par for the course when one is rich and famous.]
A type of therapy that's good for people is sharing their experiences with others, mostly so they can find out that they're not alone. Writing is just a way of facilitating that.

But if you don't like writing there are other forms of therapy.
