losing my mind i love him
[His eyes widen - its probably easy to see, now, that they're not all black, almost cloudy, like a stormy sea - and he stares for a long moment. But the shock doesn't last for long, and like a laser he focuses in, moving to walk around the other, looking him up and down.]
If I didn't know it, I'd think a certain power of mine came back. [He murmurs, before reaching out to grab his double's chin and push it upwards, examining like an object at auction.] But the resemblance, yes, is quite uncanny, if you keep up the farce. What a marvelous power you have.
shapeshifts into moriarty refuses to elaborate
It is not particularly useful for combat purposes. Not directly. [And he sounds just a little disappointed at that; he is able to scheme and plan now, but he really is a brawler at heart.] But it seems even the department recognizes that deception and infiltration also play their part in conflict.
[Then again, even the dumbest person could probably tell them apart right now anyway, considering his behaviour.]
great now we have two nerds to deal with
[He lets go of his clone's chin, grinning.]
Now, if you want to impersonate me, which I find a great idea, we'd need to do some training. A disguise can only go as far as you take it. If you don't take it very far, then you'll be in quite a bad spot, dear Sonic.

...
Professor, what are you talking about.
[Even with that flat tone...no, actually, because it's a flat tone it kind of perfectly displays the disbelief here.
Why does he have to work hard to impersonate him? He was just showing off his cool new power.]
no subject
[A little hum.]
If you could be in two places at once...what would you do?
no subject
[If he were in two places at once, he'd tag team Sonic with himself. One Metal could punch him and the other could kick him.
Man that'd be sweet.]
But my answers would be combat oriented. I assume that is not what you mean.
no subject
[Now he's folding his arms, doing a little hmmmmmmmmmm.]
I would agree with you on that. What if I told you that we could combine infiltration and combat, together, with an ability like this?
no subject
[It threw all his enemies off when they thought they were just dealing with Eggman again, so it gave him a lot of leeway to steal all their data as they battled mechs and robots.
Also he did just imply what he implied.]
no subject
[A little >:/ at that.]
But! Anyways. You're on the right track. To pretend to be someone else, and then ambush them...that's quite a powerful tactic if deployed in certain situations. You do a poor job of pretending to be me, though, so...one would need to give you a few tips to at least pass for a moment. Then we could get the drop on anyone we wished.
no subject
Oh.
[Hear that? The's a penny dropping.]
You took issue with my behaviour, not with the facade itself. You should have said so sooner, professor.
If it were necessary, I would have no issues passing myself off as you.
no subject
[Now that makes him raise an eyebrow.]
Pretend to be me, then. Go on.
[also i keep forgetting to link this. TWO OF THEM]
1/2 LMFAO NOOOOOOO
He raises a hand to his face - mostly covering his eyes - as if he's thinking.]
also i cant believe i cornered myself into playing james moriarty lily fgo 2022
[The hand comes down, at which point he gestures at Moriarty with his index finger.]
That look in your eyes...it's doubt, is it? Tsk-tsk.
[In a reversal, now he's the one circling Moriarty.]
You're being a bit too sloppy aren't you? My other self. What purpose would an ability like this serve without an adequate means of imitating the target as well? [He stops, hand to his own chin in thought...then he points again.] 2/10.
[The rise and fall of his chest, those little involuntary movements all humans...no, Moriarty himself might make, the more lively face and voice. It's all there now when it once wasn't. That near emotionless Moriarty he was face to face with just a moment ago is all but gone.]
yeah i can drop, you play him now, thanks for the help <3
[He doesn't even flinch as the other suddenly turns on the act, moving around him. he stands still observes, dark eyes following him...and not a trace of movement in his expression betrays emotion.]
[And when the other stops, he thinks for a moment, before he snaps his fingers and points directly at his double's face.]
.......I'll give....a 8/10 for that. [No perfect scores, here. Not when he exists.] The attitude, accent, movement, all there. Points off for excessive gesturing and poor explanations of points giving. Otherwise, fine.
1/2 no because then how can we keep this cr going
...
Excessive gesturing, huh...
[It's grumbled just a bit. Isn't he one to talk?]
no subject
Given your high standards, I believe an 8 should be sufficient enough to fool anyone else.
[There, a little compliment as a treat since he called you a lesser threat earlier.
Which he still believes btw.]
no subject
[A little flippant gesture. Back to hedgehog basics, he sees.]
Still. I do thank you for such a wonderful demonstration.
