[MU] - DECEMBER STORYTELLING / MEMORY SHARE

[lifeaftr_mods]

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.

[ Ah... her attempt is enough to drag a smile out of Mira, at least. It's quiet and small, but very much there. ]

... You're right about that. [ And her smile grows a little more. Fonder, too. ] This place... as terrible as it can be, I don't regret coming here. Because I've met you... and so many others I care about.

[maku]

Uh--

[ goodness, look at that red face. even if she finds it a little harder to go so aggressively tsun with Mira as she does with basically everyone else on the island, there's no real way for her to cover up when she's flustered. ]

I guess... I mean, everyone still needs me at home. And this place is kind of a pain to deal with but I don't. Hate being here. So long as there's people like you here.

[ and then for good measure, one more; ] ... I guess. [ NAILED IT ]

[ Oh.... did she embarrass Karin? Definitely seems so... and though she tries to downplay it, there's no mistaking that sincerity.

... she's kind of embarrassed, though, too, gosh. ]

Well... thank you. That means a lot, coming from you. [ Because she's important to Mira... though she doesn't say it. She smiles, though. ] ... And thank you. For talking me through... the memory.

[maku]

[ just look at that face. she's DEFINITELY embarrassed. ]

I-- yeah. [ smooth!! ] S'not something you've gotta thank me for. It's kinda crappy we're getting personal stuff like this shoved in everyone's faces in the first place.

[ you just know that if she runs into the person responsible, karin will be first in line to fight them ]
