WEEK 6 - LOBELIA

[foundationmods]

Six weeks.

They had been here for that long, and still...the game was continuing.
Yet, it felt like they were finally about to reach the end of it...
Just a little longer. 🗈

Still, things were just the same as they had been the past few weeks.

The goats and servants were still around, and so too were the witches.
Yet, it felt like this week would be the week they would finally get all the pieces to the puzzle.
But...could they solve it?

Only time would tell.

I only remind humans of what they're capable of.

[And in that moment, the last little bit of the cheerful, silly old man evaporates.

There's only the man who was once London's greatest criminal Mastermind glaring down at the demon with those sharp blue eyes of his.]

What they're capable of is greater than even you can incite - as an Evil who has faced down both the Greatest Detective and a pure force of good, I can tell you this easily and with absolute certainty.

You, on the other hand, are a mere fraud traipsing around in a corpse that doesn't belong to you. You shouldn't even dare to speak to me as one who 'gives knowledge'.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[That smile widens, almost too wide for the man's lips, a predatory gleam glinting in those eyes]

Is... that so? James Moriarty? Then show me your Evil.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[For a long moment, there seems to be a genuine struggle going on in Moriarty's mind as he faces this demon in his rival's body. His hand clenches and unclenches, the chain of his coffin appearing and vanishing as he weighs the pros and cons.

...and then, ultimately, he lets it go.]

...I refuse. Evil is not some trick to be called on command. It is something that goes deeper - something that must be planned and plotted with absolute certainty...!

Then again, a mere demon like yourself wouldn't be able to comprehend it - not like Sherlock Holmes, the man who's body you're wearing like a cheap suit! How dare you demand such a thing from me, as if we are one and the same!

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Another laugh echoes, but this time there seems to be no mirth to it, as he straightens himself up]

So you noticed? Pity, I want to k̷͉̲̹̽͘n̶̦̗̒͆͗̿ȯ̸̦͎͓̹̾w̶̖̭̺̤̻͗͌͋̽̓́ what you are capable of.

[With that, Caarcinolaas turns, seeming to vanish in thin air, laughter echoing as a door opens by itself]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

...Of course I would notice. I am James Moriarty.

[Though, he knows his will won't last long. Sooner or later, the demon will push him to a point where he'll retaliate.

...He'll just have to make plans to make sure that they can do it safely, is all.

Though as Caarcinolaas leaves, there's a minor tension in his body language that's all too easy to read.

It would have been horribly fun to let loose, just this once.]

[byanyother_name]

That creature is going to be a problem, I think.

[Kurama's tone is icy and rich with distaste. He respected Holmes, too.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

OF course it will - but I will handle it if it tries anything during the week, believe me.

[byanyother_name]

I do. I can only imagine his very existence is an affront to you on several levels.

I realize you're unlikely to need any help, but should it be convenient to have some, you know where to find me.
