Shoutout to Magic for taking "Watson equivalent who was a former assassin of some kind" and ascending it to "Watson equivalent who is still an active assassin, not even on the side, like being a detective's assistant is their side job"

Proft: "He's covered his tracks well. He's definitely our culprit, but with all the physical evidence destroyed we'll never be able to prove it to the courts." Etrata: "...So like, does that mean I'm fine to... you know..." Proft: *sighs* "...Just please tell me you're being paid by someone else to do it." Etrata: "Oh they gave me the contract like halfway through the investigation. I was just waiting to see if we could get him in custody first."

Niv-Mizzet: With our success in creating our own artificial omenpaths, I believe we are ready to move to the next stage in the Omenpath Project – sending a Ravnican through one of them.

Proft: That's very ahead of schedule! Should we look for volunteers?

Niv-Mizzet, arriving at the test chamber: I have already procured one.

Proft:

Proft: That's Rakdos.

Niv-Mizzet: Correct.

Proft: He's even still sleeping.

Niv-Mizzet: A representative from the Rakdos assisted us with moving him to the test chamber.

Proft: Are you sure having a Parun as the first test subject is a good idea?

Niv-Mizzet: What's the worst that could happen? That the omenpath is unstable and we finally find a way to kill him for good? That he ends up somewhere else where he isn't my problem?

Proft:

Proft: I can't change your mind on this, can I?

Niv-Mizzet: No.

Rakdos: *snork mi mi mi*

i am a staunch platonic proft/etrata enjoyer. i need the autistic detective to hang out with his hardened assassin bestie as they both learn to open up and realize how deeply and fiercely they care about each other.

Underrated character concept: recovering cop.

As in, this character suffered from the terrible affliction known as is-cop, but they are thankfully recovering from it. Often, they continue to fill the role cops are supposed to fill, i.e. solving crimes and bringing people to justice, but in a less coppy way and with the added understanding that cops don't actually do that.

This is often related to the character archetype of Assigned Cop At Birth

I'm calling it: Arquist Proft is the killer.

He is so eager to explain the symbolism of the murder scene, but doesn't even mention any of the discrepancies. Like the fact everyone heard a scream but Zegana had clearly been dead much longer, if the killer had the time to pose her like that. He also just totally brushes past the fact that the black iris symbolizes the Simic Combine in this instance. Like...how? What is the connection? Were you worried that no one else would get it?

Plus, if his invisible ink card is any indication, he's a massive egotist.

Badly need Alquist Proft to be Jace in Disguise and this is discovered by Kaya who finds out there is a fictional detective character from Vrynn with the same name

“You need to start telling me things. You can’t hold them back just because you want to look clever when you reveal them.”

Etrata knows she’s in a murder mystery story lmao. Can’t let Proft be a BBC Sherlock

Me: Ooo what kind of juicy secrets will we learn from the Murders at Karlov Manor epilogue?

Niv Mizzet: I want to make Ravnica a multiversal trade hub.

Alquist Proft: I'm gonna help!

Me: .......so is that a 'yes' or a 'no' on Jace being the mysterious figure who intruded on Proft's mind palace?

Niv Mizzet: Omenpath bureaucracy.
