[When the video appears Kate seems to be frowning, taking a brief moment to realize it's on before she blinks and straightens.]

I'm Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD. I was wondering if anyone had any information as to what this place is. The woman I met earlier was very unhelpful and this letter is absolutely ridiculous. Do you think this is a game? Kidnapping a cop will get you-

[She stops herself, breathing through her nose for a moment before straightening again. Kate smiles , a bit pained but no longer looking like she's about to rip off someone's head.]

The letter called this place Asgard. From Norse mythology, right? Or the Thor comics? And the woman said something about how my room is in the Heimdall House. I wasn't big on the Thor comics, but he's the guy who guards the rainbow road, right?

Oh, and if you see-

[She stops herself again, this time her lips pressing into a thin line. No. She didn't very much care if Castle was here, besides, he'd probably contact her if he saw this anyway. Or so she hoped.]

The letter also mentioned bringing life, color, back to this city, right? [She looks around, frowning slightly.] It looks colorful enough to me. Anyway, if you have any information as to what the hell is going on, that'd be great. Thanks.

[And the video cuts out.]

It's not normally like this. I don't know what's going on, but it's normally a lot more grey.

What do you mean, grey? Colorless?

What's changed?

[democratize]

Basically. Some of the color was coming back, then we had a weird fog--then the fog cleared and this happened. Something's probably about to happen in the next week, by the look of it.

[extraordinarymuse]

Something? What kind of something?

[democratize]

Don't know. Last time there were ice pixies, and the time before that, a dragon. Do you know how to fight?

[extraordinarymuse]

[Ice pixies and dragons. Great. This is just...wow.]

I like to think so, why?

[democratize]

That's good. A lot of people here are kids, or don't know how.

[extraordinarymuse]

[Frown.]

Why do they need to fight?

[democratize]

They shouldn't have to, but when something's attacking the city, someone's got to take care of them.

[extraordinarymuse]

The dragon and the ice faeries. They'll actually attack people?
