[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 wanna-- ow!! [ he pinches her nose tightly and she scrunches up her face, pulling on his hands!! Rude!! Rude!! ]

Guz-ba!! Led go!! An' whaddya mead don'd ead nothin'?! [ 8C YOU'RE THE WORST KIND OF HUMAN!! She sucks in some air through her mouth and then grins a little, through scrunched eyes. He wants to train...and that makes her even more excited, despite her protests. ]

Ogay! Led's go!! [ RIGHT NOW!! LET'S GO RIGHT NOW!!! ]
yallstupid: (Wat)

Yeah, you heard me! [Struggle as she may, Guzma keeps a firm hold on her nose, though he does loosen when she moves - he's not trying to break her nose or anything, after all. Her nasally voice makes him snicker quietly, one side of his mouth curling up in a snide little smirk. You could like a Patrat, Luna...]

Jeez, you really are stupid... This is a dream, kid. When we get up, and when y'all get back from that there new island, then we can train together.
holdmyhand: (show me!)

D'en 'm gonna wake ub! [ she huffs, glaring him down!!! Let go of her nose, you giant friend-shaped monster!!! ] Me 'n Chiffo'd 'n Deeda are gonna kig' yer budd!!

[ all part of training! She takes in a giant huff of air in the loss of not being able to breathe through her nose. >:C ]
yallstupid: (Until we meet again.)

[Excuse you, what? You're gonna do what now? Guzma snorts, then begins to laugh as he does indeed release poor Luna's nose and cross his arms over his chest, straightening up to bellow a howl of laughter.]

Kid, you really are dreaming!! I could wipe the floor with you any day'a the week, and not just cuz I'm way stronger'n you remember! You wanna beat down? Then hurry up and wake up, but y'all better not rouse me, otherwise I'll get on you twice as hard, brat.
holdmyhand: (don't give up.)

[personal profile] holdmyhand 2018-01-15 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she stumbles back when he releases her, holding her poor nose and glaring at him with that look in her eye. Even if he were the Alolan Champion, she'd never rest until he was beat!!

...is this, maybe, the feeling he gets when he's ready to beat down, and never give up?

She smiles at him as he laughs rudely at her. Well...probably not the same feeling. But maybe it's close. ]

Mm! But I'm not gonna lose! You're gonna have to bring everything you have, because we've been ready for a really awesome battle since we got here!
yallstupid: Gift! Ask to use, please! (uwu)

[personal profile] yallstupid 2018-01-22 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Won't be fair, since I'm way tougher'n you already...but if y'try real hard, tiny, maybe you can gimme a good 'nuff battle. I'll even wait up for you to catch up.

[It's...bizarre, having to say that. He means it jokingly in this regard, yes, but it's not quite a far cry from the truth. He is stronger - his pokemon are at a much higher level than Luna, and he's gained more knowledge and experience during the span of time between his and her differing timelines. He won't accept a victory until they fight fair, on equal ground.

It wouldn't feel right if he did.]
holdmyhand: (i will carry it along.)

[personal profile] holdmyhand 2018-01-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
You won't have to wait very long. I'll meet you there!

[ she laughs, but she's very serious. If it's a fight he wants, he'll have the best fight that she can provide. And even if he's stronger and faster, she can still come up with strategies to use the environment, or perhaps just slow him down. Give him a reason to feel cocky and then rush him at the finish line...

...she looks excited, certainly. ]
