WEEK 5 AFTERPARTY(?)
After all of that, maybe their spirits were on the edge of breaking down. Or maybe they just needed time to process what had just happened.
But either way, in the wake of the trial, it was quiet.🗈

There wasn't an after-party this time. Though there probably should be, some time to connect between the remaining pieces, the people who would have arranged it... all needed some time alone. But there is a chance to connect, even if it isn't via a party.

[she continues sipping lightly]
Sooooo... This isn't just a case of your rival finally being defeated? Or is it something else?
no subject
[Moriarty that is blatantly untrue??
Anyway, he sighs.]
...How familiar are you with the stories I and Holmes come from?
Well, perhaps in his case I shouldn't say 'come from.' To this day, the man is still argued about in academia about if he existed or not. ...Unlike myself, of course - someone considered to be a mere literary invention.
[He gives a sharp laugh.]
Me, the grand ruler of an evil organization, just because I'm only in a few tales!
no subject
I've seen the movies, and you're almost always in them. But I haven't read the books. I thought about trying... if only because I ended up liking you and Sherlock.
[another sip]
And the servant stuff confuses me. Sherlock was Ruler... so what are you?
1/2
[He tosses his head back and laughs, apparently happy as ever.]
Truth be told, it's why I was a bit cross yesterday. After all, I did it first - and anyone who wanted to kill Holmes should have at least told me. I would have at least helped them set off a grand trap worthy of taking down the World's Greatest Detective in.
2/3 I lied
[The smile he gets on his face is sharp and cruel, his jovial manner tempered by a dark undercurrent.]
done
Anyway! I am an Archer, though it wouldn't be my natural class. Truth be told, I really shouldn't be a Servant at all - my impact on history wasn't large enough in the same way that Holmes' was.
But I, ah...fixed that little problem.
no subject
I feel like... aside from you being an evil mastermind... You would have been a good teacher for an aspiring masterclass thief.
But you are definitely not a good person.
Anyway, how did you fix that problem?
[tell her more about servants. she never asked holmes, so time to make up for lost time]
no subject
[~evil mastermind from the shadow who never gets his hands dirty oooo~]
Hahah! It's a long and complicated story, but if you want to hear it....I'll gladly tell you!
[He opens his arms with a flourish - with all the ease of a practiced actor, almost.]
Do you know about a little place called Shinjuku?
no subject
Just. Half amused.]
I might have heard of Shinjuku.
By the way, i should mention, I live in Tokyo, in Shibuya.
no subject
Deflates just a little, but keeps going.]
Ah, well...that makes this easier then! See, I managed to fuse myself with another spirit - Der Freischütz, the freeshooter. Have you heard of that tale?
no subject
no subject
A man makes a contract with the devil for seven magical bullets. 6 of those bullets will hit true to whatever he shoots at, but the 7th will be aimed by the devil himself.
He goes off and uses them, happy as can be - but one day, he uses the 7th bullet, which shoots the person he most cares about dead.
...Of course, the original play ended a lot happier. But for the purposes of this story, that's all you need to know.
no subject
Okay. I know a little about magic-aiming guns. So you haven't lost me yet!
So, what did you do?
no subject
[He grins.]
In the world Holmes and I come from, the 72 demonic pillars of hell - the Goetia - are a real presence, you see. Nearly wiped out humanity, in fact - if not for the fact that there was one single human girl and her Servant there to reverse what had happened.
[bc honestly, Female Ritsuka is the best.]
There's a lot about it that I won't go into here, but suffice it to say that the girl and her Servants went back in time 3000 years, and defeated the Goetia, wiping them all out.
...Or, so they thought. In reality, a few demon pillars had managed to sneak away from the destruction, and bided their time.
One such pillar was a demon by the name of Baal, who wanted nothing but the destruction of the hated human girl who had destroyed his entire race.
....And then, he met me.
no subject
[but she sure does sound suspicious of that. are you proving to be a bad person again, moriarty]
no subject
He grins as he continues-]
He wanted revenge, and so did I - so, we came to an agreement. I would fuse with another phantasmal spirit to become a full one - and in return, he would create a singularity - a closed off distortion of a world that doesn't effect the major timeline - of Shinjuku in 1999.
...Then, I had him erase his memory and had him believe he was the 'evil' side of me, and I erased my own memory and woke up in Shinjuku.
no subject
[she just stares at him.]
Why? This doesn't seem logical or calculated at all.
no subject
[He frowns at her, but continues.]
Once my memory was erased, I had no idea who I was - I didn't even remember my own name, only that I was an Archer.
Of course, the reason for that was quite clever in the end. Firstly, I knew that Holmes would come to the singularity to observe. Secondly, I also knew that the Master of Chaldea - the girl I told you about before - would be rayshifted there. And both of them were absolutely vital to my plan.
[He gives a decidedly evil chuckle before continuing.]
So when the Master arrived, I met her and became her ally. And I was entirely genuine - I didn't have any memory of who I was, so I was just running on base logic, beyond the idea that she was somehow important. Over time, she became someone I cared about during the course of our adventures - which I'm not going to get into here, because that would take too long - but suffice to say that I did quite enjoy our time together.
[His smile becomes...a little more fond, like he's talking about a cherished graddaughter, before it snaps back to his more evil looking one.]
Ultimately, though, things went perfectly. The 'me' found other servants and used them to his own advantage, while I gained the trust of everyone on the Master's side, including Holmes.
See, the reason I wiped my own memory was so that he would be unable to pick up that I had an ulterior plan. To him, all he could see that I was completely genuine - though utterly incredulous at the idea that I could have any 'good' inside of me at all.
...Of course, he was correct. I am on the path of Evil, and thus any 'good' is merely an act I show others! Wahahaha!
[Yeah don't laugh like a goddamn saturday morning villain, grandpa.]
1/?
Hm.

[she sets the drink down with a clink]
3/3
Are you sure you're a mathematical genius?
1/2
2/4 i lied
[He shoots her a glare!!]
I knew it wouldn't fail because it was all according to plan! Baal, as 'me' would act accordingly, but I knew I would always fail due to being on the 'wrong' side - the side of evil! And since I was on the side of good, I would be able to prevail with them through 'my' pawns and face 'myself' in combat!
[He huffs, calming down...and grinning again.]
...Of course, Baal quickly regained his memory - as did I. And as he revealed himself and his purpose...I struck.
I struck Holmes through, and then -!
3/4
Pauses for a second.
Realizes what he's about to say, and looks...uncomfortable.]
done
....
I absorbed him in order to win, and achieve victory!
For you see, having Holmes contained inside of me allowed me to be on the side of Good! Therefore, there was no foregone conclusion to my defeat! And, in that moment, the second part of my plan began!
It was Shinjuku in 1999 - the same year a gigantic comet flew by it's skies! Normally it would pass harmlessly by - but I had fired all seven of my bullets! And because I alone wrote a book about asteroids and meteors, my final bullet - the bullet that was destined to hit the one I care for - was the comet itself!
And the person it was destined to hit - the one person who I came to care for after a life of caring for not a single person - was the same girl whom Baal detested!
Throwing away all certainty for this plan - relying on a plan that could have fallen apart at any second - was exactly how I grasped victory!!
not here but i am leaving it
