[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.

no subject
No offense to our dear reporter 'friend,' but I don't think him intelligent enough to be a bad guy. No, he was just a man with an obsession, and we men who were looking for things he could supply if we fed that obsession for him.
[To be brutally honest, Dino was just that. Too honest, at least to a person like Ignis who had learned to read between the lines.
By the Six, though, he certainly wouldn't have minded if Dino had been a little more thorough when it came to detailing the dangers of the quests he was sending them on!]
no subject
[Prompto wasn't one who usually judged based on intelligence. Dino had never seemed to be lacking to him, but who knew what Ignis saw that he didn't.]
He's at least got some talent.
[How much more was there to say about Dino? Not much. They were clearly avoiding the subject, and that was how much Ignis had dealt with on his own before he saw them. Pursing his lips, he reached out to place a hand on top of one of Ignis'. Even during Altissia the man had been rather insistent on persisting, with or without help. Sometimes, he felt like he just needed to do something despite Ignis swearing he was fine.]
no subject
He jumps just slightly, when Prompto's hand covers his, having been content to just let the silence stand unchallenged. When the blonde's hand remains, though, he turns his own so he can give it a gentle squeeze.]
I-It's all right, Prompto. I did what was needed at the time.
[Right, and that shaking voice says he did exactly what was needed and nothing more. When did actually dealing with his own emotions ever fall into that category?
Never.]
no subject
[At the time they had all been falling apart. It was easy to lean on Ignis. Noctis might have been the most vocal, but Prompto had shut down, unable to give reassurances or be much of any help. They'd all lost their home. Including him. Including Iggy.
He squeezed Ignis' hand back before scooting in closer, so that their bodies were touching. He slipped on hand behind Iggy's back, the way he'd sort of gotten used to since Altissia but he wasn't trying to lead him anywhere, an brought his other hand over to firmly grip his hand.
Ignis hadn't been a stranger in a long time. Being Noct's best friend, Iggy just sort of came with the territory. It was when they started traveling that he had his first chance to really connect, though. Ignis had become a lot more than the kid with the top grades in the school. He was also quietly emotional.]
