at once short of life, and long of sorrow.
[You are dead.
Well, obviously. You remember how you died. It was...not fun, to say the least. But hey, at least you're off that ship, right?
Except...you don't know exactly where you are now. It seems like a house, but if it is, it's...a work in progress. Most of the rooms are empty, and your steps echo up through the marble columns and down faint mosaics on the tiled floor. The few windows you find have a green light gleaming through them; you can't really see anything beyond the eerie light.
It feels like you're in a temple of some kind. The columns and mosaics seem to indicate it is something like that-it's certainly reminiscent of something out of an ancient culture, perhaps even one you're familiar with. For some reason, though, it's clear someone-or something-lives here. One of the rooms to the south is stuffed with pizza boxes. Another, larger room has a makeshift futon in one of the corners. There are imprints of multiple footsteps all through the dusty floors as you look around, many of them leading to a small alcove to the west. And-
and there's a giant van. Just. hanging out there. Completely out of place with the seemingly ancient decor. And inside, there is the sound of light snoring.
Ok then. You're apparently not alone in death, after all.]

There's an extra hum of power in his fingers, and what he opens isn't quite a portal...but something related. There is an incredible weight to it. It will need precise and careful control.]
no subject
Ah. He was the man who had written about asteroids, after all - and this power was connected to spacetime. Therefore, other phenomena connected to space could be expected. A Portal was essentially a wormhole, so therefore...
...No, could that be it, with this weight?
Instantly - keeping the other emotions in mind - he brings that weight under his control, eyes piercing down on what he's just opened. He knows precision, planning, control - all of these were bywords he lived by, and a difference in his own power will not make him falter or lose control of what is his.
James Moriarty once dared to write of an Asteroid destroying the planet. If he is correct, the power currently trying to awaken is something orders of magnitude more destructive, yet he will still dare to bring such an uncontrollable force under his control with the power afforded to him by Yamato.
He will accept nothing less.]

(Disclaimer: this is not setting-destroying, we are operating on video game rules)
Well it is that Moriarty is a man of such discipline. To tame the beast, as it were, would require nothing less. Unyielding will and exact control are a must when dealing with a force like this.]
no subject
'The roots outgrew attempts to cut them down', hm? Well. Even assuming this does not hold the same total destructive power of a true black hole, this alone should be able to keep the roots from regenerating too quickly - enough to allow other powers to overwhelm them.
Still, he needs to know more. With exacting movements, he tests its movement capability - how quickly it can go, how far he can have it go from him without beginning to lose control - as well as testing if it can get any larger or smaller, and if he can make more than one at a time.]
