[MU] - DECEMBER STORYTELLING / MEMORY SHARE

Something is wrong.

This may not very well be obvious, at first. The Storyteller is not present to put forth yet another diatribe, informative or apologetic, and the backdrop of guttering flame and sandy campfire is as present as ever...albeit briefly.



Those who tell their stories will start to notice something...odd taking place. Indeed, no matter how they intend to begin their tale, the land of Mu will immediately start to warp to accommodate it, or something utterly unlike it, until storytellers and listeners alike may find themselves in an exact recreation of a seemingly random memory, in the most stark and painstaking of detail. There is no altering the memory, nor is there any preventing it once it's begun to play - you will simply have to witness memories that are not your own this go around.

Furthermore, stories that take place in worlds other than LifeAftr will be, frankly, inevitable. Those memories, too, will be recreated, to be relived by the teller and lived by the listener.



It is time, once more, for you to tell a story...with a slight twist! This is, in fact, our first player plot, as provided by Dragon! The initial setting will be familiar for oldcomers, and newcomers will recognize it from the introduction they received in their dreams.

Yet for this Storytelling only, people can imagine whatever stories they wish, from both their homes and their time on LifeAftr, as long as they don't mind the fact that others will be reliving those stories in the form of an impromptu memory share.

Even those who prefer not to voice their stories aloud are not safe this time around. If the memory is recalled in essence, Mu will shift to accommodate it in full.

There is, however, a benefit to this: those who venture memories to be relived will receive both a befuddled apology from the Storyteller, who will assert that this was most definitely not meant to happen (they're the Storyteller, not the Rememberer!), as well as a tired promise that the relived memories will be worth two offerings each, as if in compensation.

Not that it counts for much, probably.

You should keep your coat! We'll all need to keep warm in that case, and I've already got some blankets and stuff for emergencies. [Came with the pack. Maybe she'll get ask the Storyteller for a bed to go with it... she muses, because this thread takes place before she got her futon.]

Ah, well... As long as you're warm... Heh.

[He wasn't that great at talking to girls beyond offering them things or trying to be of some sort of service, so the life quietly sputtered out of his words as they came to an awkward end.

It was only the thoughts of the cold that brought to mind what he suddenly blurted out.]


I have a snowmobile, too!

[There was certainly an awkward tension in the air a moment ago, but "I have a snowmobile" is a pretty good sentence for dispelling it.]

What, really? How did you end up with a snowmobile?!

[Yeees, she was impressed!]

I had it when I came here! It, uh, doesn't work or anything. I plan on repairing it when I get the chance. I could maybe mod it to run on the sand!

[His speech sped up as he excitedly explained it to her.]

That's amazing! If you could get it working like that, it could be really useful on the other island!

I'll give you a ride when I get it working!

[Which wasn't likely anytime soon.]

I could maybe get it to float, too!

[Just piling on the promises of things he couldn't accomplish yet.]
shineinside: (Y: WHY)

[personal profile] shineinside 2018-01-03 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[OK maybe you've overstepped your limits on this one.]

Wait, what kind of snowmobile is this? Are you an inventor?!

Ah, uh, just a regular one, I think. I'd never been in snow like that before... I think I could figure it out if I just had the parts, though!

[It was probably a bit much even back home.]
