                   " may i help you? "

        [ soft spoken words with a charming, velvet voice.           people do not expect ---- ah, but he is not the 'king' now.           he is the professor.]

                    " an unknown variable. "

                                  he was no sleuth, but he could track footprints.                                   -- or at least, he could distinguish human tracks                                     from that of something that couldn't be human.

                         " how ---- "

                                  a stream of half-finished equations fill him.                                                         what is this?                                    he cannot understand.

                                                          START AGAIN ?

                          " ...---------- hello. "

[napxleon-blog]

              " can i help you? "

                      [ what a vacant expression. ]

words from acd; can i tempt anyone with a starter?

[sniperwithasmoke]

Whatever he’d been doing (little more than daydreaming, at this point) was dropped before both syllables of his surname could be uttered. His head snapped over to look at the man across the room, brow quirked in question, though he made no move to cross the space between them. 

He cleared his throat, hands behind his back as he resumed a position of some bastardised form of attention. ” — Prof?”

                             “ stand straighter ; you were in the military.”

         they are calm words, but at the same time, they are not.          his nerves are itching underneath his skin -- all of them scratched.

                   all by one english detective -- his french gold had been intercepted.

                         this will not do, this will not do at all.

                                           " how is it that we have been inconvenience again? "

                “Indeed.”

                                     he knows his own reflection too much to not recognize the calculating gaze. he wonders what mr. holmes is learning -- what the man already knows.

                  erase the board and start again.

                                  " i have many flatterers.                       it is not often that i am in the presence of intelligent company. "

            pleasant, unassuming -- just a little bit witty.

find x if y = john watson

                                    -- can this man figure it out?                                                  he already knows.                                     -- can this man win?

                       what an irrational ( TAU ) thought.

m equals moriarty over holmes moriarty shall rise and holmes shall ----

                                                " tell me, mr. holmes.                         what does london's greatest detective want with me?                                            surely it is not about mathematical equations. "

[dejureintergentes-blog]

        “I am fully aware of your identity.”

                brisk words masked in a serene tone,                 cautious speech as the detective tests the waters.                 god knows how this meeting may turn.

            “Likewise, Professor.                I found your treatise on the Binomial Theorem to be most…                                          …instructive.”

                                        observation(s): intelligent                                                                 confident in his abilities.                                         hypothesis: narcissistic                                         experiment: flattery

                        “ oh? ”

                  find x if y = ( sher + lock ) ( hol + mes )

y  = shol + lockhol + shermes + lockmes

                        conclusion: shol - smokes heavily ;  prefers black shag                                                lockhol - drinks in moderation ; high quality vintages                                                shermes - drug user ; narcotics ( morphine )                                                                                   + stimulants ( cocaine )                                                lockmes - soft of hear ; weak

               x equals beaten if and only if moriarty wins the game.

                            there is a shadow of a smile, " have you actually read it?                                                                               summarize chapter six, if you will. "

             he does not drum his fingers against the wood of his table, but he does stare straight ahead with an impatient air. there is a storm on his features, thinly veiled.

                               " moran. "

     one whispered word should not boom, but it does.

[napxleon-blog]

           " mr. holmes. "

           what a velvet crawl of speech, slow and sure            and steady and confident -- the voice of a            man who knows he cannot be beaten.

                        -- theorem.

           " what a pleasure to finally meet you. "

                        -- proof.

                                 " professor james moriarty, at your service. "

words from acd; night guys. last call for starters and stuff.

[napxleon-blog]

I need more math in my life. And when I'm more awake I'd love to talk math with you. If I don't get a stage management job I'm going to grad school for math after I graduate. But thankyou for your blog. It is a gift because ACD canon and math prof Jim are just perfect.

words from acd; golly gosh, that sounds impressive. i’m not a big math buff myself, nor am i very knowledgeable about the area ( i’m only in high school you see ) so i hope i don’t butcher this math business too badly ;u;

and thank-you, my dear <3 i feel like the mathematical aspect of moriarty is so important and i really want to bring that out.

[napxleon-blog]

I'm really happy this blog exists. Because Jim and math. Two of my favorite things ever... Seriously favorite things.

words from acd; why thank-you! celestial mechanics is really interesting tbh. i’m utterly fascinated by its concept — and the n-body problem!!

THEOREM: 001

     math does not come easy to him because he likes it. math is his life -- he lives in numbers and fractions and functions. decimals rule his world and he cannot help but see the universe as something wholly mathematical and logical.

          “Evening,” she returned.

Though, it seemed that responses like that were somewhat automatic now. Someone said “hello,” and without thinking of if you wanted to reply, you said the same.  She replied even though she was concentrating on reading something - a file of somesort, that of which she kept close to her.

That, and a briefcase.

          But she looked up, reasoning that it had been a considerable amount of time since she had checked, and it couldn’t hurt—                              ”Do you have the time?”

[napxleon-blog]

               ” i do, what is it? ”

                      [ he does not smile, but there is a shift in his features that gives him a less serious expression. something more open and perhaps even warm.

                               people at the university thought him a somewhat distant man, but one whom was ultimately good --

                       the briefcase does not escape his notice. ]

UNKNOWN VARIABLE: x - not a student.

           " your majesty. "

                       bow your head, be respectful.                        follow the simple y = x line ;                       do not raise suspicions.                       his empire had yet to reach norway.

[napxleon-blog]

               " ah -- hello there. "

               [ it is fortunate that for today, f of x  equals the professor.                    if he had been his other --- function, then who knows what might have been?

                           oh, but that makes him laugh.                 he is much too careful to expose himself.                               the probability of that is much too low to be significant. ]
