Guess who just found out about the 'apocalypse'?

[notsogrimreaper]

Mun?

N-No... you're lying... I didn't feel anything! I haven't felt Nyx in a long time!

Please, this can't be true!

[Ryoji, it's just a silly superstition, you're taking it too seriously-]

T-That's it... I'll just have to handle it like I did last time. Someone out there's got to be willing to kill me!

[Ryoji, stop-

And the worried teen hops out of the mun's headspace and into the world again. Anyone care to grant his wish?]

((ooc: Because some people were worried-NO I DO NOT THINK THE WORLD IS GOING TO END, RYOJI IS JUST A DERP. XD))

The world's not ending next month. It's some prediction by some ancient calendar that doesn't account for leap years. Things are going to hell in a handbasket now, but that's life. If the world were going to end, it'd have done so a while back.

[notsogrimreaper]

L-Last time the Fall happened, things started going really wrong in the month leading up to it...

[unfeelen]

U kn0w the calendar end5 @ the end 0f every year, r1ght?

The Mayan5 w0uld b relea51ng a new 0ne 1f they weren't all dead.

[doingthemistything]

The question is, how "really wrong" are we talking?

[notsogrimreaper]

Strange illnesses... a lot of people joined up with a cult to worship Nyx. It wasn't necessarily bad, but there was a lot of unrest.

[notsogrimreaper]

But why did this one end early? I-It said it was the end...

Dead? M-Maybe I killed them too...

[Have fun dealing with a paranoid Ryoji.]

[doingthemistything]

Well, no strange illnesses or cults that my mun and I have heard about. I think we're all right. False alarm and whatnot.

[carsharkkonishi]

Ryoji.....that's a silly prophecy.

[notsogrimreaper]

But isn't there a lot of unrest in the world now? You said yourself that things are falling apart.

[unfeelen]

Early? 1t'5 been ar0und 4 th0u5and5 0f year5.

Funny, u d0n't l00k l1ke a c0nqu15tad0r.

Rhyme-chan...

Oh my god, Rhyme, you have to hurry! Find something to kill me! I don't want you to have to die again!

[doingthemistything]

That's life. Things fall apart all the time. People just work through those hard times and bounce back.

You're supposed to be Death itself, aren't you? You should know that mankind is pretty resilient.

[carsharkkonishi]

It's not going to happen, it's just a hyped up story. Don't worry.

[notsogrimreaper]

...I know. I know more than anyone.

But I've seen my closest friend go beyond the breaking point. I don't want anyone else to suffer like he did.

[notsogrimreaper]

Still... It's ending before the new year. Why couldn't they write in ten more days?

...I-I'm not a conquistador! I'm just... really, really bad.

[notsogrimreaper]

...A-Are you sure, Rhyme? I really don't want to hurt you.

[unfeelen]

Typ1cally, all 0f them end b4 a new 0ne 5tart5.

...?

> H0w 50?

[doingthemistything]

Well, it's still not going to happen. There's a big to-do over it, but it's all a big joke. Maybe the thing was supposed to happen already but got prevented?

[Hint, hint.]

[notsogrimreaper]

I...I'm the Thirteenth Arcana. I'm not supposed to exist... but now that I do, me merely being here, talking to all of you, curses every one of you.

[Ryoji just loves avoiding the one syllable word that would so easily describe what he is.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Are you sure? I... I don't want someone else sacrificing themselves to prevent this.

[unfeelen]

The what?

[notsogrimreaper]

...Death.

[doingthemistything]

Completely positive. His sacrifice will not be in vain.

[Kirino doesn't know a name, but he at least knows who he's talking about...]

[That's enough to almost make him break down again.]

H-How do you know about...
