The End

[foundationmods]

After a long trial and a tearful rebirth, it was time to move on to the next journey. But where would they all go? And how would they be able to say 'goodbye' after seven weeks of bonding?

Those answers would not come easily. However, the Pieces did not need to make those decisions alone...🗈

Rest is needed, but it isn't quite time for that yet. No, there are places to go and people to see.

Given that most of the Pieces did want to return to the Foundation, the Witch of Dimensions opted to stop there first and drop them all off. The stragglers can be handled later, when he has rested and regained more of his energy.

But where did he decide to put them? After all, the Foundation knows they have gone missing. To return them right to where he took them from would only put them in danger. So instead, he opts to take them to the people best qualified to offer help with multi-dimensional dealings.

[...whoops!] I feel like I'm about to get kidnapped again!

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Come now! Do I really look like a kidnapper to you?

[TIME TO LAY ON THE EVIL CHARISMA.]

I am very interested in hearing about this ability of yours, though. Is it just numbers, or math equations as well?

[justonezero]

Do you want me to give you the honest answer, or...? [You have a villain's face, Moriarty.] Just numbers, but I have to put them through a formula to convert them into something I can understand.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Be careful with that one, he is a self-proclaimed villain after all.

[justonezero]

Yeah, I was watching! He's even got a villain's face! [Okay welp we've just said that out loud now.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

SELF-PROCLAIMED?!

[HE WILL END YOU HOLMES but -]

Leaving aside the annoying detective, I would be interested in seeing your formula if you would be willing to show me!

[justonezero]

Hm? Oh, sure. [He'll bring up a hologram screen and type out an extensive and complicated formula.] I made a calculator app to convert it for me, but I still have to put the numbers in. I'm okay at converting simple ones though, like people's measurements and stuff!

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Moriarty's eyes literally light up like a child's does on christmas morning, stepping closer and pulling out a pen and paper from....somewhere???]

Fascinating! ...Though I'm a little surprised you need a calculator app to convert this at all.

[He quickly starts writing down that formula, and then just....basically starts constructing a shorthand version of it, somehow. It'll absolutely make sense to Yoshi, too - it's the math equivalent of an abbreviation, and he's actually refining it as he goes along.

After a moment, he hands the paper over to Yoshi, tapping at the new equation he's made.]

I believe you'd find this is much quicker and efficient.

1/2

[justonezero]

2/2

[justonezero]

That's so much simpler! That'll cut down processing times by a ton!

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[He laughs, giving a sharp grin.]

I should hope so! I'd be ashamed if it lead to anything else!

...If I have a little time to understand your ability in full, I may be able to make this even easier to compute.

[justonezero]

Could you? That might actually be really helpful! Actually... processing all this data is supposed to burn out my brain because it's too much to handle. It'll probably kill me early... So basically, if you have any tips to avoid that, I'm all ears! [...Though even as he says that, he's totally going to try out that new formula on Moriarty. NEW TOY.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Too much to handle? That's odd - even the original equation would be easy to handle for most, I believe. Then again, I don't see things in numbers like you do, so perhaps my perception of the matter is a little lacking.

[Yoshi will see numbers that are close to Archer's, though it's a little different since he's not a Counter Guardian.

...However, the really weird thing is that numbers seem to love him, and more than that, they're willingly letting themselves be absorbed by him.]

[justonezero]

Something about how taking in so much information will overwhelm my brain eventually. [But enough about that, the numbers!] Whoaaaa. It's like the numbers don't mind getting absorbed into you!

[hatesdeerstalkers]

I suppose I can understand that -

[And then Yoshi says that and everything else goes out the window.]

'Don't mind being absorbed'? Could you elaborate on that?

[justonezero]

The numbers around you just kind of get absorbed into you. Never seen that before!

[oceanicbutterfly]

You look exactly like a kidnapper.

[no mercy]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Quiet, you!

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Giggling.]

[linearcrash]

[ Popping up behind Yoshi. Crossing his arms and just going to watch. Nu-uh. Nine kidnapped him first. ]
