asgardeventide | Chapter 5 ✒ Video

[Hello there, Asgard. Enjoy a message from everyone's favorite mystery writer and wannabe cop. He's currently sitting in his room, his brow furrowed in thought.]

I have a question.

[He pauses, trying to determine the most delicate way to ask this.]

What if we don't want to fight in this supposed war that is coming our way?

[This place isn't that bad. He's met some really great people that he likes. But to be honest? He cares about Beckett and Alexis. They're the only ones that he wants or needs to protect, and would be willing to give his life for. What the hell does he care about the gods and their stupid war with each other? None of this is worth any of their lives.]

What are they going to do? Pull us out of the halls and drop us into a battlefield?

[Maybe he shouldn't have said that out loud because that's probably exactly what they'd do. Castle sure as hell didn't sign up for this. And wouldn't the gods want people who were actually interested in fighting?

He wonders if a deal could be struck. What would be the price for sending he, Beckett and Alexis back home?]

Doesn't mean I have to play by their rules or kill who they want me to kill. My daughter is here now.

[She was priority number one.]

No, of course not, as long as they don't manage to force you. You never know what will happen.

But I guess you'll first of all want to keep your daughter safe.

[He nods. This guy at least seems to be understanding.]

I can't let anything happen to her. Or to Beckett, but..

[He nods, as well.]

I have those people too. But?

[But he can't control what Beckett does and she's going to want to come out with guns blazing.]

Beckett's very stubborn.

Ah, one of those people. I know those too.

[There's a smile on his face now.]

She's a cop and she takes her job very seriously. Of course, she's a damn good officer, I just wish she wouldn't put herself into danger so often.

Ah, but what's life without a little danger?

I'd normally agree with you, though my 'danger' usually consists of joining the mile high club. Although within the last four years I've had enough gun-type danger to last a lifetime.

[The price of being a cop's de facto partner.]

Only the last four years?

You humans' perception of time is so funny.

[Blink.]

That statement implies that you're not human.

I'm not. I'm a Time Lord.

... A do what now?

A Time Lord.

.... You're gonna have to explain exactly what that is, because I've never heard of a person being a species called "Time Lord" and not "human".

[ Do people ever always ask him what a Time Lord is back home?

Not that he mentions it all that often, but... Still. ]

I travel through it, and fiddle with it sometimes. To an extent. Not always on purpose.

And before you say I look human, you look Time Lord.

[Castle laughs at that because it's such a clever response.]

A Time Lord is not Father Time, I take it?

[ Well, he is clever. ]

No, we're not.

So you don't... control time. You just.. travel through it?

I can control it, bend it, but it's not wise to do it too much. Might break something. Better to make sure others don't.

Ah yeah. Butterfly effect and all that.

Something like that.

I've also heard that time travel is dangerous because people will go crazy if they see another version of themselves.

Actually, I've sort of done that here already and I didn't go crazy.

Something like that can happen.

Sort of?

There was another guy here with my face, though he wasn't me. Just looked exactly how I looked about 10 years ago.. which isn't much different from how I look today, mind you.

[Thinner. Less wrinkles.]
