In These Stones Horizons Sing

You know, Beckett, you can stop blaming this on me. While this is, admittedly, not the first time I've gone to sleep in one city...or country...and woke up in another, I've never picked Wales, and I wouldn't kidnap you. I mean, I'm flattered you think I'm capable of that, but it really isn't my fault. Besides, the crazy nice people who got us settled into our new digs have explained all about the handy rift in space and time. Maybe I can throw something like that into the Nikki Heat books. Hmm... So, if you could please stop shouting at me whenever you see me, that would be great.

And for the record, that shoe hurt. So glad they took your gun. Oh, so glad.

For the rest of you, I'm Richard Castle. It really is a pleasure.

You know...when you think 'big damn rift in space and time', you don't really think Wales. Of course, most people don't think 'big damn rift in space and time' at all. But when you travel through wormholes on a regular basis? Suddenly, it's not such a huge deal.

Of course, ending up in a parallel reality without easy access to said wormholes is sort of annoying. And by sort of, I mean really annoying.

Right. Lt. Col. John Sheppard. USAF.

Elle. Can you check the fridge? Are we out of peanut butter?

So many new players to the game...things are going to get interesting soon.

Captain, the Girl wanted you to know she has business elsewhere. I'll be filling in, in her stead.

i have never understood the point of these infernal contraptions. one can get along just as well without them, by my estimation. for one thing, the letters are all capitalised on the keyboard, but when you type them, they are not. to be fair, it is probably best that way. i would hate for it to appear as if i were shouting at people. no, that would not be a good start at all.

but cardiff is lovely this time of year, even if wales was quite clearly made by them. that's a capital them...but not adam's them. oh this is confusing with the rain and...more rain. nothing wrong with a bit of rain, i always say. i am not entirely sure i believe we were brought here by a rift in time and space...seems a lot of trouble to bring someone from london when they could just as easily take the train, but who am i to question ineffability? right. first order of business, i really do need to set up my shop again.

Well... that made no sense...

Uh yeah so me so not a hero......so whoever sent that girl with a crossbow the other night. Thanks but no thanks.

I don't want to be a Champion or whatever.

Oh and Claude, awesome prank man, well done.

CLAUDE!

This is NOT FUNNY!

Elle, my dad's busy. Will you take me to the park?

This is getting to be just plain ridiculous.

Noah, tell me you're here. Claire? Lyle? Someone I know had better be here or so help me I'll

I'm not supposed to be here.

This whole thing is completely nuts. I'm not even sure anyone can read this. What if it just comes up as a blank page and it's really creepy.

I guess George and Mitchell aren't here then?

I'm not too sure what to think of this place. I mean...portals to other places aren't exactly something I'm not used to...but they usually take you some place scary and not...you know...Wales. Still...I miss LA.

Jackie boy, you've gotta relax. Don't get so anxious, buddy.

Just because I don't answer my phone when I'm in the shower, doesn't mean you have to go panicking. And breaking into my apartment.

The concern is touching. Really.

Lelouch, we should get pizza. I like the Jubilee place.

Please?

People keep commenting on my hair. I don't see the problem...

If it's not raining, it's snowing. Seriously. Is it ever dry here?

And yes, I know, it's pointless to complain about the weather. But considering I'm from California, I think I'm entitled.
