(moriarty has two "modes" which is basically just him as a more sociable grad student sort and then his mastermind LARPsona! i'll mark the different "modes" as indicated)

1. SUBSTORY - ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US (nerd mode)

[Hey...are you here checking out this internet cafe with all of its issues, too? Well, someone is already here, dark blue eye makeup and all, putting his hands on his hips as he continues on with some kind of argument with the owner.]

Look. All I want to do is like, put a virus on there. I'm no programmer, but it shouldn't be too hard. If those guys want to steal it, then they'll pay the price. ["I don't want anyone to put viruses on my computers!"] Look, don't you get it? They won't come back if they know that its not worth it, w-what- [And now the owner is just throwing their hands up and walking away.] Come back here! It's totally a good idea! Mathematically sound, in fact! Ugh!

[Don't mind him, he's just going to move to slump in a seat with his head in his hands going UGHHHHHHHHHH]

2. SUBSTORY - BOUNTY HUNTIN' (crime mode)

[Moriarty is playing nice. Of course, he'll be a diligent little worker for the Enma. Sometimes, one has to do exactly what they're told before they can get anywhere - he doesn't have a hold in this world like he did when he was alive, or in that dream of a Singularity, so play nice he must, for the information, at least.]

[Which is what he's doing now, scouring the streets for anyone suspicious, or interesting - even if he recognizes a face or two, that isn't stopping him from walking up, dark eyes narrowed as he says in his most authoritative voice.]

You, there. Tell me what you're doing in these parts.

[And if you're a fellow Enma, he'll simply sniff, unimpressed.]

Are you making any headway in this investigation? One would hope you're not slacking off.

[Mean!]

3. GENERAL - COSMOPOLITAN CALLED THEY WANT THEIR ADVICE BACK (crime or nerd mode, you choose!)

[When he has downtime, a certain someone can be seen browsing through some magazines at a local stall in the Tamamo district - he's bored, obviously. There's a lot to keep his mind on, true, and he is meaning to find out more information, but he, out of curiosity, has picked up what is obviously a trashy romance magazine, complete with 100+ NEW SEX TIPS and IS YOUR BOYFRIEND CHEATING ON YOU? TAKE OUR QUIZ TO FIND OUT stickers emblazoned on the cover.]

[Curiosity killed the catboy, however, and he's making random disgruntled noises as he flips through it, finally stopping at a page - he squints down at it.]

"Cook dinner topless, put a little tomato sauce on your chest, and ask him to lick it off?" [He looks APPALLED.] What kind of nonsense advice is this? Who wrote this?

[And then another flip of the pages, another noise of disgust.]

"Use a ruler to gauge how much his di-" [A look of >:O] That's NOT how you use a ruler!

4. WILDCARD + CLOSED PROMPTS

[holds everyone's hands please please please IF YOU WANT CLOSED PROMPTS PLEASE HIT ME UP VIA DM OR crystal#4450 on discord! I'm also vampirize@plurk! Or just throw a random prompt at this nerd, I'll roll with it!!]

Comments

[divisors]

Yeah, I'm really hyped. There's a lot of stuff I can put my mind to.

[animal crossing flower emote. this is so different than the guy being cool as a cucumber at his restaurant earlier]

...What brings you here, though, Nero?

[perfectdistance]

[This is... fine? Maybe? It's a little strange, but it's not off putting.]

I heard somebody I recognized 's all.

[divisors]

Oh? Who?

[ACTUALLY LOOKING AROUND?]

[perfectdistance]

[oh.

Okay.]

You.

[divisors]

Me?

[:O]

Oh, me!

[He stops, as if he realized something.]

Uh. Well... [And now he almost looks flustered.] Guess I'm...recognizable.......

[perfectdistance]

[Pfft, he doesn't manage to hold back his laugh.]

Yeah. It's not a bad thing.

[divisors]

D-Don't laugh!

[STOPPPPPP]

I didn't mean for you to catch me like this!

[perfectdistance]

Yeah? It's too late to turn back now.

[divisors]

[SMACKS HIM (LIGHTLY) IN THE SHOULDER]

[perfectdistance]

[ hehehe. He is not at all discouraged. ]

[divisors]

I'm going to take back everything nice I said about your cooking.

[YOU SAID NOTHING GOOD ABOUT HIS COOKING]

[perfectdistance]

When did you say something good?

[divisors]

I said it was fine!

[THAT'S NOT SOMETHING GOOD]

[perfectdistance]

You should work on your compliments if you want it to hurt when you retract 'em.

[divisors]

[Dryly:]

How about I just not compliment you at all.

[perfectdistance]

[Shrugs! His restaurant is a quiet place anyway, he won't be offended.]

[divisors]

Tch.

[He puffs his cheeks a little and gets back to working on the code.]

This stuff is harder than it looks...

[perfectdistance]

[Childish actions get childish treatment.]

It already looks like a huge pain.

[divisors]

How do programmers even survive like this? They should move over to mathematics. Much more understandable.

[A few more taps, and a concluding huff.]

Okay. But I think I got this one done.

[perfectdistance]

It's not mathematics? There's equal signs all over the place.

[spoken like a man who's never coded anything in his life.]

[divisors]

No, idiot. Of course, its a component of it, but programming is basically like writing out instructions in a language that tells the computer to do what you want. Computers use numbers but they use a whole lot of other things to be told what to do.

[perfectdistance]

[He is so tiny and so rude. Haha.

Anyway this sounds a lot like when Faust tries to explain the fundamentals of magic to him, so he immediately stops listening. This has nothing to do with him.]

Better hurry up. Looks like the owner's coming back.

[divisors]

Haha.

[Now he's smiling again, slapping down a finger...and the screen turns black, with a message that says:

DONATE $500 TO PROFESSORM.COM IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR YOU WILL LOSE ACCESS TO THIS COMPUTER PERMANENTLY
GOOD LUCK
:)]

[And now he's standing up, reaching over to tug Nero by the sleeve.]

Let's go, let's go! Ahaha-!

[HE'S HAVING A GREAT TIME]

[perfectdistance]

[Does he even have a website?

He'll get up and start heading out with Moriarty. This is far from the crimes he usually gets up to, and technically Nero didn't do anything...

But it was fun.]

[divisors]

[who's to say.jpg]

[But he definitely has a skip in his step as he walks very quickly away with Nero, glancing back over his shoulder before leaning in to talk quietly to the wizard.]

That should work well. Sometimes you have to scare people a little.
