case file #1: the master criminal

[worldsonly]

Since evidently Moriarty has chosen to resume his profession, I give the police force on this island two days before they are completely out of their depth and he is running the place. When that happens, you'll need me.

As my original website is locked I have rebuilt it on the island servers. You can find it here: www. thescienceofdeduction.co.nm Contact either myself or Dr John Watson at North 301.


[ note: the new moore version of Sherlock's website is basically exactly the same as the real one, only the forum is empty and the Hidden Messages folder has been replaced with one titled "New Moore". it contains a neatly bulleted list of his deductions on, obviously, New Moore, though no definite conclusion or even a theory has been proposed. ]

You really haven't learned much about humility since you've arrived have you?

[worldsonly]

What's the point?

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

Well you were sour for days after that Doctor fellow embarrassed you. Thought that might have humbled you a little.

[worldsonly]

I wasn't embarrassed.

[bakerst-blogger.livejournal.com]

Really? Then what would you have called it?

[reanimated]

Well it's not like the police do much here anyway, mate.

[worldsonly]

Nothing new under the sun, then.

[reanimated]

Exactly. Well we're all waiting patiently for you to figure out the mystery of New Moore, though you've pretty much got fuck all going in your favour.

[worldsonly]

Of course you'd think that. No one ever notices anything useful.

[reanimated]

Or I've been here long enough to know nothing about this place makes sense?

[expositional]

Oh.

[expositional]

Thank you for this.

[expositional]

My name is Shirogane Naoto, I don't believe we've been introduced. I'm a contract investigator currently working with the NMPD.

[expositional]

Though I suppose you already know that.

[worldsonly]

Yes, the teenage private detective. Impressive.

Anything new?

[worldsonly]

Nothing.

[calmyourmind]

That is just... spectacular. You really are a proper genius, then. Splendid.

[And Moriarty and Watson as well, oh this was just too fascinating to ignore. The great Sherlock Holmes, flesh and blood in New Moore. There is not a hint of sarcasm in his voice.]

[worldsonly]

You're easily impressed.

[mindoirsurvivor]

This is Interim Chief Shepard. If you want to help, try filling out a job application. And if nobody new is in charge two days from now, you're going to owe me a drink, hotshot.

[worldsonly]

Boring, I don't want a job. Talk to Lestrade.

You won't notice him until he wants me to play a new round, and I can't give an estimate on that one.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Actually, I like to do my own personnel reviews. And one paid consultant is hard enough to pad into the budget they give me. If you want something from me, you're going to have to do a lot of convincing. And you're going to have to do it yourself.

[worldsonly]

Not interested in money.

You're not quite following me. I am not offering, I'm stating fact. When Moriarty begins his game, you will need me.

[mindoirsurvivor]

You get what you pay for. I don't believe in or trust something for nothing.

And I'm still far from convinced you've got anything to offer me, phantom threat or not. I may be understaffed, but I've got the best working for me. What can you do that they can't?

[moltobene]

...tell me of this Moriarty you speak of, signore. [ Ezio is intrigued. ]
