GENERAL PERMISSIONS

Moriarty is from the grandaddy of all Detective stories - and while he's not the detective himself, he's known in both book canon and FGO canon to be Sherlock's intellectual equal. In canon, he even manages to tell who Salter (Artoria Alter) is before she tells him her name by using a deductive process remarkably similar to Sherlock's, so he's definitely got the same perceptiveness.

So! What I'm asking here is -

1. Do you want Moriarty to pick up things like tics, personality, how they hold themselves, the words they say, predicting what they're thinking via body language, etc. If you don't, it won't come up during tags! Not commenting to this is the same as opting out in my eyes, so!

2. If you're okay with it, then I'll need you to give me details about them. How's their normal body language? Is there anything strange about them magically or not that he could notice? Do they have any tics or nervous habits he'd pick up on? Anything on their bodies or visible markings or smells he'd notice and potentially be able to deduce from?

3. Anything else you want to add that I didn't mention but Moriarty would notice? Tell me here!


STANDARD PERMISSIONS

Injury (any kind, including torture): Yep, though it won't stick around permanently.
Death: /LAUGHS IN IMMORTALITY, aka yeah! Though ask me first, since I am trying to have it be on the dl for Moriarty for a bit.
Romance: That's a nah, chief. I play Moriarty as uninterested in romance.
Mind-reading: I'd like a heads up first, but sure!

Generally, I'm pretty chill! Honestly, just contact me if you wanna do something.

As for what characters will notice from Moriarty:

- Constantly 'on' with magic, if they have good senses. It'd feel like a spell of some sort is continually running.

- Those with good hearing or if they ever hug him will notice the lack of heartbeat.

- Has almost no reaction to most kinds of pain.

- His Butterfly spell is too advanced for the time period he says he's been alive, seeming more like something a mage family would work on over time or have bequeathed to them.


THREAD PERMISSIONS

From Moriarty's app:

End of the Spider's Thread: A thin, easily dispelled magic 'thread' that he can stick to walls, objects, and people which allow him to know where people are within his 'web' / if they disturb it or enter it (within a 20 ft radius), and also allows him to listen into their conversations. Of course, though it's easily dispelled, it's nearly invisible to magic senses and physical ones - and those with keen senses will often only feel as if they've walked into a spider web when it attaches.

In essence, I'm asking if you would be willing to have your character be bugged / have Moriarty be able to eavesdrop on conversations and know where they are if they're on campus / nearby him. I can also have him not catch all of conversations, if you'd like!

Not responding to this will be treated as the same as opting out, so no worries.

Okay, so I'm not switching accounts!

All three characters (Ky, Sherlock, Ryoga): Feel free to web them, they'll all notice the web-like feeling for different reasons, with Sherlock quickly dispel it, Ky trying to investigate and Ryoga just "?" over it.

As for Deductive reasoning:

Sherlock Look, I don't think we need to hash it out given who this is, though there's an air of self-discipline that wasn't there the last time they met.

Ky Ky has the air of someone with a strict discipline even when he's being a long-haired hippie - with the heightened awareness of his surroundings that suggest a military background and having been in war. As mentioned in the TDM, he has some scarring and calluses on his hands from sword play, he's not used to his current short hair (which grows much faster than normal), and wears a gold crucifix that is somewhat crude-looking, suggesting it's quite old. He has a habit of touching the crucifix when he's uneasy or unsure, or messing with his hair to busy those hands, but otherwise his body language is open and unguarded in most respects, but seeing him spar/move around in full plate would reveal he is perhaps stronger than he lets on.
-He has the constant faint smell of Petrichor and Ozone, like an area that got struck by lightning on top of the normal scents of an active person that keeps themselves clean.

Ryoga Ryoga's sense of direction is fucking terrible, so he's constantly looking around before he goes anywhere. He has elongated incisors (basically which would've turned into tusks if he could turn into a proper boar), and moves with a feral, animal-like smoothness. He has an almost defensive body language when speaking with older people, as if expecting the worst, and touches/grabs things with extreme delicacy in fear of breaking them due to his redonkulous strength. When he's agitated, he runs his foot against the ground like a boar pawing the earth. Especially seem to try to avoid getting wet.
-Ryoga would smell earthy, somewhat animal-like.
