It's been some time but I believe there was something about the apocalypse, if I recall correctly? I have to confess I've been interested, since we may even have that in common.
[This never gets any less weird to explain. Especially to someone like Kirei, who is weird and kind of unsettling.]
to start off with: I never know where to start with this sort of thing so lmk if you're having a hard time following in our game, the title monaka-chan gave me was "shsl harbinger" and, er that's me! that's what I am: the harbinger of the Fall my presence in the physical world is the final sign of the impending death of human thought * I'm not really human, although I prefer this form over the others I've taken in this era
* just for my world though!! (I think?) (the Fall can't happen anywhere else, but I'm not sure if my presence tips things one way or the other in different worlds)
Is it not? My world has the psychological concept, though I believe the closest to it being a real and nearly tangible thing is the Akashic Records. Which, to my knowledge, is moderately different.
Is that what the Fall is, then? The death of human thought through the destruction of the collective unconscious?
oh, I know about the akashic records! haruka-chan mentioned them so I googled them once we got out of the hotel and I could use the internet again they're similar, sort of, except that the collective unconscious isn't physical and it isn't really a record another term for it is the "sea of souls"
yes, that's exactly what happens
this is where things get a little tricky and particular in my universe, an entity exists outside of the collective unconscious "Nyx" I don't really know how to describe her using language
but the prophecy of the Fall is actually a promise of what will happen when Nyx descends to the surface of the Earth essentially, Nyx & the collective unconscious cannot coexist her descent = the destruction of the collective unconscious
as the harbinger, I am both a herald of the Fall and the physical Avatar of Nyx my presence is like a beacon, which draws her to the surface of the earth
haha, well I'm not really supposed to. have my own will! that part was ... I guess you could say it was an accident? yeah. it was an accident
I don't really want to go into the details but shortly after I was brought into the physical world I was torn apart and the largest piece of me was sealed away in the mind of a child eventually, my fragmented pieces came together again and I was able to break free of it but it was my time with her that allowed me to form a sense of self.
would you like to monologue about it ? dinner isn't for a while now, I'm just winding yarn into balls, I've got the time

Easier to follow than you might think.
It really can't happen anywhere else? [What a tragedy.]
no subject
I guess it could?
but only within the neighboring realities & timelines of my world where the collective unconscious is a universal constant

I'm familiar with the name, if nothing else. The primordial goddess of night, born of chaos.
So you are something resembling a fragment of that. But if that's the case, did you just manifest out of nowhere at some point prior to her descent?
...I only ask because it seems peculiar for an existence such as that to have a harbinger with his own free will.

Regardless, I think I have a reasonable grasp of the matter now.

I'm glad to have helped. I think?? why did you want to know
are apocalypses your hobby or something (゚ペ)?

[Just most things.]
It's a long story, but I could tell it if you're so interested.
