CMO for SCP [Post r3]

I'LL MAKE THIS PRETTY LATER BUT -

- Mostly sticks to Site 3 (because lmao he gotta fuck with Sherlock), but can often be seen on the site where Mayuri is located due to ███ ████ ████ ██████.

- Has mostly gone back to what he was personality-wise, but still doesn't remember any of the third round.

- Spends a lot of time on the internet, surprisingly enough. He's been seen doing a lot of coding lately.

- ██ a ███████, having █████ ███████████ ████ ███ given ██ ██ ██████ ██ ██████ for ███ ███████ of ███ ██ ████████ ███ ███ ████ ██ the island. However, he ██ █████████ █ ██████ █████, waiting for ███ ██████ ████ ██ ██████.

-Has gotten very chummy with the in-universe staff and generally been pleasant and willing to work with the foundation, hunting down and even neutralizing some SCP's that couldn't be contained.

-Is not allowed to go near any other AI SCP's after what happened to 079, though this does not include the eyephones.

-He has absolutely started to put his fingers in all the pies and set up his web.

- His name on the chat program is '128 Nemesis'.

[Now that Szayel is officially B-class, he's not really allowed to come and go as he pleases like he used to. He was necessary personnel now. But he'd recently gained an interest in a certain subset of the 6350s, the "Heroic Spirits" like Emiya, "Ruler" aka Sherlock, and now Moriarty.

Moriarty, also known as Archer of Shinjuku. He was unique in that he had come here from the witches' game and not through 6350.

... Unfortunately, that accursed clown had gotten his filthy little crack nail into him before he could be properly studied in his pure form. Sullied by Kurotsuchi's poisonous touch, he was useless to Szayel now. Plus, there were some unspoken rules between the two scientists -- they didn't muck around with one another's toys.

So the pink-haired man, flanked by a pair of burly but barely human Arrancar bodyguards, is actually here to investigate Sherlock. And he's tracked down what he believes is his spiritual pressure. But he has his nose in a clipboard and doesn't look up before speaking to who he thinks is Holmes
]

Mr. Sherlock Holmes. I'm here to take some.... [he peers up from his clipboard and sees not the green-eyed dark-haired man in the strange coat, but Mayuri's pet] ...... eh?

[Szayel grimaces as Moriarty yells at him. One of the bodyguards moves behind Moriarty and puts his big meaty hand around his head. If the man weren't a Servant, the pressure could easily crush his skull like a grape. But for crime grandpa, it will just be some painful pressure]

Lower your voice, or I'll take it from you.
perfeccion: (002 and from my hands)

[personal profile] perfeccion 2019-05-29 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[As soon as he stops yelling, the arrancar releases his grip]

Good man. Now, if you had been paying attention -- I was looking for Holmes. But I was using my Reiatsu sense to locate him. His spiritual signature, if you will.

[Szayel sits across from Moriarty, giving him a smile that doesn't reach his eyes and a more cheerful voice] I didn't have any interest in you. After all, Kurotsuchi has already laid claim to you. But the fact that your reiatsu is almost identical to Ruler... now that is fascinating.
perfeccion: (✢ I wanna hold you)

[personal profile] perfeccion 2019-05-29 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Szayel has gotten very good at that same skill thanks to having to work with his hated enemy for so long]

Oh I am sure my dear colleague would beg to differ. And... in a way. It's more like... the very power of your own soul. Or, rather, the pressure it exerts on the spiritual particles around it. A translation of "reiatsu" is, indeed, "spiritual pressure". We Arrancar, as well as Shinigami and Quincy, use this sixth sense of ours to track and detect others. But enough about that... what is this "Saint Graph" you speak of?
perfeccion: (012 talent and imagination)

[personal profile] perfeccion 2019-05-30 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... an interesting proposition. You know, as your superior, I could just order you to tell me what I want to know. But... [He grins, lacing together his gloved fingers] I don't see any harm in it. How about a one to one trade, then? And since I am in charge... I'll start. Explain your "Saint Graphs".
perfeccion: (009 we're making weird science)

[personal profile] perfeccion 2019-05-30 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Szayel gives a shit-eating grin at that] Apologies... I haven't had a chance to 'pull rank' since my promotion, and I simply could not resist.

[As Moriarty speaks, Szayel takes out his favorite purple pen and flips to a blank page on his clipboard, scribbling notes as he goes. This isn't what he traveled to Colorado for, but... well. All information is good information, as far as he's concerned.

He speaks, but it's mostly to himself
]

I see, I see.... so "Saint Graphs" are analogous to... a soul, of sorts. Yet even more persistent and immortal. Or perhaps, more like a master copy, stored safely in another dimension -- this Throne of Heroes. Hmmm... Ah...! Like a shortcut, or an alias, on a computer. Clever, clever... it allows these "Servants" to persist safely and indefinitely... as long as the Throne remains...

[he looks back at Moriarty over his clipboard]

Ah, apologies, I tend to talk aloud when formulating theories. Now, what was your question? About Arrancar?
perfeccion: (005 plastic tubes)

[personal profile] perfeccion 2019-05-31 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Szayel doesn't seem opposed to answering at all. He loves talking about himself, after all. But...]

Well... I'm afraid I must first ask you another question -- simply to clarify, of course. What, if anything, has Kurotsuchi -- or, indeed, anyone -- told you about the world we come from? Because to understand Arrancar, there's quite a lot of other ah... "worldbuilding"? that must be elucidated.
perfeccion: (020 is it real?)

[personal profile] perfeccion 2019-05-31 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
That's probably for the best. Well then.

[Szayel cracks his knuckles and TAKES OUT A FRESH PIECE OF PAPER ARE YOU READY FOR DIAGRAMS MORIARTY.

because there's fucking diagrams as he explains souls, Hollows, Shinigami, the various planes of existence, etc. And about Aizen!! And the hogyoku! jesus christ he talks forever!!
]

Now then. Now I can answer your actual question; what is an Arrancar? From the Spanish "to tear off", an Arrancar is a Hollow that has removed part of their mask and become a Shinigami hybrid. Becoming an Arrancar arrests the cycle of degradation I mentioned earlier and puts an end to the relentless hunger. But it is very dangerous -- prior to Lord Aizen's introduction of the hogyoku, a mere 5% of Hollows that attempted to remove their masks survived the process. With that powerful item, though the process had a success rate of almost 100%. Each Arrancar bears an estigma, remnants of our mask. [Szayel taps his "glasses"] ... Ah, it is also possible for Shinigami to become Hollow hybrids, but it is much rarer.
perfeccion: (030 we're makin weird science)

[personal profile] perfeccion 2019-05-31 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Souls are indeed one of my areas of expertise! [along with traps, poisons, diseases, parasites...] I am attempting to find common threads between the people and worlds brought together by 6350.

Ah, but now it's my turn... why might your reiatsu -- your Saint graph -- feel so similar to Holmes? Unfortunately, my sample size of Heroic Spirits is rather small... you, Holmes, and "Archer" Shirou Emiya. But I can assure you that Emiya's spiritual signature is not one I could confuse for anyone else -- not even his red-headed alternate self. I didn't mistake you for your rival because you look the same, you know.

[interesting. So even among the fictional, some were more fictional than others...]

I don't read many novels, no. I prefer the theatre.

[Szayel leans in, fingers laced into a rest for his chin.]

Bravo! Bravo. Fascinating. So fascinating. In the end, their fates are left up to interpretation... The predator, and the prey. The cat, and the mouse. Ah, but which role is which...? The truth is both parts are played by both actors, isn't it? [Szayel leans back in his chair] ... Still. You are separate beings, even if you are from the same "story". Kurotsuchi is my Holmes, in a way, but our souls are not at all similar -- except that they are of the same 'universe'. Mm. [he taps his pen against his clipboard] I need more data...
perfeccion: (019 my creation)

[personal profile] perfeccion 2019-05-31 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Szayel's grin falters a bit to something a bit more grim]

Well. That's how it goes for us, isn't it? The "heroes" prosper... and the "villains" inevitably fail. For all his machinations and godlike power, even Lord Aizen was toppled, by a boy. [he claps his hands together] And yet here you are -- a Heroic Spirit yourself. I suppose your Throne recognizes exceptionalness, not alignment.

crime grandpa!!

[And then he just puts in a string of numbers that describes a yellow winged, venomous fish, although its venom is too weak to kill humans by some BSable amount.]

a fish with yellow scales and wings! its bite is venomous to humans, so beware of its mouth!

[He's misinterpreting the strength of the venom, it would only cause some mild sickness in the worst case scenario. But it seems he's trying to get Moriarty to check his work.]

[personal profile] justonezero 2019-05-29 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, a lot of people on the internet call you that!

also, it's an SCP i was studying. i'm trying out your shortcut to see if i can do it in my head!

[personal profile] justonezero 2019-05-29 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
aww. ok!

wait, which part did i get wrong?

[personal profile] justonezero 2019-05-29 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Please hold while he runs the numbers again.]

ohhhh. i thought that was enough to kill!

hmm, so if i use this, i have to either know my poisons or still recalculate like i did before

anyway, thanks! is it okay if i just call you moriarty, or is there something else we should use now that you're an official foundation member?

kinda forgot to ask when you first joined the chat and everything

[personal profile] justonezero 2019-05-29 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
is prof ok? too informal?

looks like you're really settled in already! are you a thaumiel now like archer?

[personal profile] justonezero 2019-05-29 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
what's a phantasmal?

i tried reading the wiki but there was a lot

i totally could've binged it while i was living the shut-in life, but i don't have enough time to go through that much lore anymore!

[personal profile] justonezero 2019-06-03 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
And that's why i never finished reading!

...wait, why don't you need one here again?

[personal profile] justonezero 2019-06-05 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
wow, that's super convenient!

mana?

[ So.

He got a message from Sakura about something and now he actually has to ask Moriarty the most important question that he's had to ask him all day when he does spot him: ]


Um. . . excuse me, but I was wondering if you liked lasagna.

Well, I was wondering if you could try some. My friend asked me to have you try out a recipe that she gave me and see how it is. . . if that's alright?

[ Syaoran's a pretty good chef and followed instructions straight to the letter so it should be good. ]
