[Castle appears on the locket network looking concerned. It's been 24 hours since he followed faeries to the place, 24 hours since his car went off the road into an embankment and he had… died? Maybe. It's his assumption, based on the faeries, which makes this some kind of afterlife. It isn't what he was expecting, but he's pretty pleased with it. Who knew heaven was one epic renaissance festival?

One problem remains though, and that's the location of Kate. Of course, if this is the afterlife, she's not here. As far as he knows, she's alive and well, possibly mourning his death on what was supposed to be their wedding day. He feels guilty, but hopes that he made the right choice in coming here.

He's spent the day searching the castle and asking whoever he comes across whether they've seen a woman matching Kate's description. No luck so far. Castle is finally taking the advice of some and asking over the locket network.]

Hi there. My name's Richard Castle and I'm new to your land. It's awesome, by the way. I've got no complaints, really, except… I'm looking for someone and wondering if she managed to find her way here too. Her name is Kate Beckett. She's in her thirties, tall, thin, long brown hair, really beautiful. [He smiles in a way that makes it obvious he's describing his lover.] But also really stern. Like… probably waving around a badge and barking that she's NYPD and what the hell is going on. [That's Kate in a nutshell.] Anyway, if anyone knows of her or her whereabouts, please let me know. If she's here, I'd like to find her.

[Despite the odds, there's still a little glimmer of hope in him. He and Kate have a very odd connection and a tendency to find each other, even when it seems unlikely. She could be here, though Castle doubts that Kate would actually acknowledge faeries existing, let alone follow them to another world. But, he could still hope.]

Thanks.

It's possible. [A slightly embarrassed look follows that.] I'm not really a huge fan of reading. Kind of a huge part of why I worked so hard to get into Juilliard in the first place but I wouldn't be surprised if maybe some of my other friends have. If you can go around asking that and get a positive response in your world? That's awesome. That's fame.

[A beat.] If worse comes to worse, while you're waiting for her here you can start a new series.

[People in his world definitely know him. He's not a rock star or anything, but he's maybe Patterson level. Granted, a lot of is fame is more infamy for the crazy stuff he did in his thirties, but critics have acknowledged that he can write a good story.]

It's an option. Nikki Heat wakes up in Middle Earth.

Exactly. And when it gets popular here, then we can make a movie adaption. Sounds like a perfect plan. You'd be surprised how many people here don't know anything about pop culture. It's about time they started bringing in more artists.

Can they even make movies here?

[So far he hasn't encountered electricity.]

Probably only at the Station, actually. Seems to be the only place electronics work, but I didn't think to look for a camera the last time I was there.

Ah, yeah, I've heard of this Station. I'm planning a visit soon.

[Because 21st century technology, he misses it.]

It's not completely up to date but it's pretty close. Just remember it takes a few days to get out there so be prepared. Otherwise? I bet you could get a lot of work done out there if you really wanted to.
