[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.

[The first response that Ignis gives Laurent is a snort of repressed laughter. Brighter, yes, if one goes by only the very strictest of measures. The Dawn returned, the Starscourge gone for good, Ardyn allowed to leave the life he was so tired of.

Brighter. Not that he ever sees it. Not that Ignis wants to see it without Noctis at his side.]


Tell me, Laurent. Have you ever won a victory only to realize you have lost everything that means anything to you in the process?

[Darkness. Darkness he can and has grown used to, but not having Noctis in his life after giving everything to raising him? That is what Ignis truly fears.]

Yes. That's the nature of kingship.

[now this is laurent being aggressive. has poor Ignis been upset by him? because all those have been batting around with claws sheathed. his claws are out, giving up everything for a victory is the entire shtick of a magi, take fucking notes.]

Is this the first time the universe isn't bending over for you, is that's why? Something happen to Noctis?

[Is Ignis upset? Actually, no, he's not upset. Already, he has a feeling he knows exactly where Laurent hopes to steer this conversation, and he has no interest in wandering down that path. Because of that, he simply shuts down, becoming cold and detached in his responses.]

If you're asking that question, I suspect you already know the answer. Or at least, you believe you know the answer. If you wish to lecture me about how foolish my views are, do it and be done. We both have better things to do than spend this night dancing around the fire with each other.

[He stands and circles around to where Ignis is sitting, so that when he speaks it is suddenly and uncomfortably much closer. Damen doesn't need to hear this, because he knows Laurent too well and will try to make him stand down. Neither do the kids around the circle, whose presence severely limits his vocabulary.]

Like propositioning Ardyn? How could I forget your favourite storytelling pasttime.

[he looks and sounds like he might as well be talking about the weather.]

You say you belong wholly to Noctis but you offer your attentions to anyone, like a whore on the street. Are you all sweet to Ardyn so he'll have mercy on your dear prince? I suppose that kind of incentive is worth how much you're throwing yourself at him.
