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.

Toki

1. It's fine.

2.
- physical: Probably the most obvious thing is he's blind in his left eye. It will never focus, it's red (mark of a daemon? whatever). He has human bite mark scars on his right hand, overlapping ones indicating it's happened more than once. Moriarty might pick up on the angle making them self-inflicted. Toki's generally kind of twitchy and high-strung, always seems to be on the verge of panic. He's a major stepford smiler and is faking it 99% of the time. "I'm fine" = "I am the furthest thing from fine, help me."
- speech: He has a thick Japanese accent; he only learned French a few months ago and is working on English. Defaults to Japanese whenever possible. When he speaks English, he'll pronounce things incorrectly and use accents on the wrong syllables and so forth, because he learned it solely from textbooks with no spoken or auditory component and hasn't had much cause to use it yet when most of the school speaks French as well.
- tics: He succumbs to 'pressure of speech' constantly. Rapid fire run-on sentences and circumstantial "logic"; he does not think like your average person and his responses to things reflect that. His gestures are kind of flaily if he's trying to explain something.
- magic: I don't know if it's something he would notice, but Toki has two contracts; one with a daemon and one with a fey. If he has a vision around Moriarty, it will probably have something daemony about the magic signature or whatever.
- smells: He probably smells vaguely non-human because both of his powers (precognition and superspeed) come from contracts and are unnatural. He may occasionally smell like Jolyne.

3. His visions mostly manifest as absent seizures because he has temporal lobe epilepsy, though he doesn't know. Mess with that if you want, I guess.

Spider's Thread: Totally fine, if Moriarty wants to listen to relentless nonsensical babble, and occasional screaming.
