[A bored-looking Castle is seated at the desk at Hoarders, reading a book entitled "Seahorses: A Complete Pet Owner's Manual".]

I have learned so much about seahorses these past few days. Quite fascinating, really.

Do well on your finals, they said! It'll better prepare you for college, they said! We can always have fun over summer break, they said!!

Meanwhile it's practically freaking July already and I can't remember the last time I was somewhere that wasn't home or the stockroom at Juanes. It's... a good thing I have the next couple of days off, actually, I think I'm starting to confuse the two...

Still! It'd be pretty sweet if something was actually happening tonight. Y'know, something... fun?

Anybody have plans like that? Fun plans..... plans I might not know about........




U--...uhhh.... you know what? Nevermind, forget I asked...

 For a practical joke, I daresay this is all rather impressive-- certainly above the level of detail I'd expect from most of the glittering, brilliant minds of Asgard.

[ a haughty pause. ]

The humor is wearing thin quick, though. 

Stiles. Stop whatever the hell you're doing. We need to talk. Now.

Mr. Achenleck was it? Thanks, for letting me work at the bar. I promise that I won't be a problem.
