James Moriarty | Fate/Grand Order

1. Arrival - Alternatively, "Dude, where's my name city?"

[The first thing that was surprising, oddly enough, was that he woke up. Not that he had been dead before this - no, it was the act of sleeping itself. Certainly, he could sleep, but a Heroic Spirit didn't need sleep - and in such a dangerous city, not sleeping was the better option.

And he was sure he hadn't fallen asleep when he'd ducked into that unused building! Reasonably sure!

...Then again, given all he knew of himself at the moment was that he was leftover of someone else with no True Name, perhaps he couldn't claim his memory was infallible.

The second thing he noticed was that the strength and power afforded to a Servant was, well, gone - which potentially meant he was currently incarnated in a human body. Getting whisked somewhere else during the chaos that was Shinjuku was...

Hm. Perhaps not all that unexpected, but still.

Well, nothing to it but to gather information! And hope that if anyone else was with him, they were much less volatile than the mages and gangs and homicidal puppets of the city.]


Pardon me, but I happen to have a question to ask you!

[Which is what led Archer to come over and give a very bright smile, almost acting like everyone were on a pleasure cruise instead of being kidnapped.]

Are you missing anything, perhaps?

[Hey, may as well ask (vaguely) if anyone else is in his boat if they're NOT violent now that he has the chance.]

3. Home - Alternatively - "Where the heart is, right?"

[Well, he knew his True Name now - Thanks to the Passenger Manifest and process of elimination, he was James Moriarty. Yet, despite that...something was still missing.

He knew his name now - but though the name conjured up some sort of feeling within him, it still felt as if he was awaiting something for his memory to be unlocked. Perhaps it was to see the 'other' James Moriarty that he knew deep down he was a part of?

...Well, regardless! One had to eat and drink as a human, and the majority of the crew currently seemed to be human - therefore, he would make food.

Which is how the aroma of frying fish and potato might have hit your character if they went near the kitchen - and if they follow it to the source, they'd find one 50-something old man cooking that quintessentially british fast food, fish and chips.]


Shame I couldn't find any newspaper, but I suppose letting them drip clean and placing them on plates will do for now.

[Though he'll quickly seem to notice anyone behind him, giving a wave.]

Ah - I didn't see you there. Fancy a bite?

[And then, without even changing his chippper tone, he adds:]

Or if you're planning to cook yourself, I'd caution you to read the labels carefully. Our captor seems to be quite intent on causing a more deadly form of food poisoning! Wahahahahaha!

[...Is that something to be laughing about??]

6. Death - Alternatively, "I've seen worse."

[Well.

Honestly, he should have suspected someone would eventually take the motive - and, all things considered, the corpse in front of him was a far better sight than some of the deaths one could run into in Shinjuku.

But the rest of the still living crew members might think this is a marked change from how he'd been acting earlier - the laughing, cheerful grandpa staring at a dead body with an almost chilling level of calm and even indifference.]


Such a pity, truly. And a grand mess on top of that.

[Still, it's only when they get the announcement about having to 'investigate' that he shows he's feeling something about the murder.]

...Wait, we're meant to be blasted Detectives?! This is an outrage!

[...Even if it is annoyance, and this is absolutely not the time, James????]
