At their approach, Moriarty inclines his head towards one of the seating areas around the station, where there are much less people wandering around at the moment. Though they are speaking english, it's not as if there can't be polyglots in attendance.
Once they've made their way there, it may as well be time to get down to brass tacks.]
I was wondering when we'd cross paths - the moment I caught wind of the murders in this city, I was certain you wouldn't be far behind. It seems I must always be shadowed by you if I am summoned!
[Huff huff grumble grumble]
...Still, I've no doubt you've noticed how odd this Tokyo is.
I have noticed other humans here - true humans, not the nearly faceless ones - but they seem to be unaware anything is even wrong. You are correct in that it feels almost like the simulator in Chaldea.
[He looks over at the comment the fairy gave, quirking an eyebrow.]
Ah? Well, it's not as if I ever claimed to be a detective! I'll leave such detestable work to people much more suited to it, after all!
[Like, you know, his present company.
Though his shitlord grin fades as he hears the terms the fairy uses.]
The Netherworld...is it?
[Realms of the dead were commonly known about, but it also having the name of the hidden sephirot of knowledge gives him pause. It's also a far cry from the Reverse Side of the World, or the Inner Sea of Stars at the center of the planet, where all Fairies come from.
They may be quite far off from 'normality', but clearly this world still had enough human order to call servants, so how...?]
...At the very least, it is good to know you're being followed by a relatively harmless being.
Hmpf - I had to see how this place handled such a crime.
[If there's attempts to cover up or if there's a guided intelligence among the faceless humans, what to look out for if Ritsuka ended up here to keep her from becoming a statistic]
Right-ho! Those rude angels don't want us with hee-mans. And because I don't want to hurt them doesn't mean I'm harmless. I'm Jack Frost - and I'm a N-ice one, but there's some really Hee-vil demons in Da'at
[Oh Moriarty, you're not the only one who is suffering, he is letting Jack Frost speak.
Oh you're definitely not demons if you don't know. There was a biiiiig war between God and the Angels, and the rest of us demons. Lots of people on both sides died, including the old world - all the humans that were left got brought here.

It seemed like as so far we're the only ones from Chaldea here - this is an odd place, it feels much like a simulation running on low settings.
Summon? I had thought you seem weird for a hee-man.

[He looks over at the comment the fairy gave, quirking an eyebrow.]
Oh? That is something you can tell, then?
no subject
It's almost as if they're conditioned to see this place as normal - and you may notice that no one is paying our friend any mind.
You're right! I didn't even think about you not giving me a cold shoulder, Mr. Holmes.
no subject
[He won't comment on the 'demon' thing, since that's clearly just what Phantasmals are called here.]
Including demons coming to murder humans - though I suspect the victims aren't 'true' humans.
[Or maybe they are? It's just the feeling he gets.
...Though good lord, how dim IS this fairy?]
However, I presume 'not being allowed in' means that there is somewhere else you demons are supposed to be?
no subject
Yeah, but I'm not here to hurt hee-mans, I just want to have fun! Normally we are in Da'at.
Da'at...?
Heep! Also call the Netherworld.

Wait, he can't even shoot back at holmes because he caught something very interesting to his british (and catholic raised) ears.]
Angels? Could you elaborate a bit?
[The Heavenly Host of all things is involved in this? Perhaps it might also be pretenders, but...]
