✿ Gokiburi-chan

Her name means cockroach, literally. Why does she introduce herself this way? Well... let's start from the beginning.

Before and Beyond Time Itself

This thing is a cosmic detritivore that floats at the very edges of the multiverse. It subsists upon hopeless, bloodstained, tragic, dead, empty timelines. This is the end of the primordial foodchain, where the scraps of stories long forgotten are recycled into pure ethereal energy. Most of its kind will swallow a meal whole, never bothering to inspect the contents, much less explore the worlds within.

This one, though? It likes to trespass— insofar as a barely-thinking creature "likes" anything. More aptly, it just finds itself drawn into these empty stories, meandering through the wreckage, invisible anything still clinging to life. Playing with its food, perhaps. What else is there to do? It's dark out there, at the brink of reality... and very cold... but it's not lonely. "Lonely" implies having company to miss, and this thing has never had any— until now.

Enter: UNDERTALE

Unlike the stale and lifeless timelines on the edges of the multiverse, the world of UNDERTALE is anything but dead. It is a hub of constant activity, ever-evolving and off-shooting in endless permutations. Something like this has no use touching it, going near it, or even knowing about it! And yet... the more it looked, the louder the echo became... that electrical chorus, the fiery vibration, a deep shudder radiating out from within.

It wondered, can I eat that?

It decided to ask The Judge... and have a little nibble on the timeline along the way.

That "little nibble" manifested in-universe as a genocide run. This thing found itself in the role of the 7th fallen human, standing before The Judge on the precipice of the end of the world.

BEFORE IT SPEAKS, IT LEARNS TO SCREAM
