[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.

[ Possibly, she's expecting him to receive her warmly... but instead, it just makes him mad. ]

Really? And why do you say that?

[ His voice is calm, quiet. Dangerously so, because his hands are shaking a little. ]

[ Yuka freezes at that response. She wasn't sure what to expect, but even then, this feels like an extreme reaction. So, she pauses to choose her words carefully. ]

...Because... I also tried to change the world. And I was willing to go to lengths that most people wouldn't understand in order to do it.

"Tried to change the world"...

[ Is that what she thinks. Akechi watches her carefully. ]

I suppose he told you that's what I tried to do. In reality, it's quite wrong.

[ Normally he wouldn't divulge anything like this. It's reckless and stupid and his image would be tanked. But with these memories, it's been done already. So why not continue on? ]

The only goal I had in mind was to see a single person suffer.
shineinside: (Y: I'll do this myself)

To see someone... suffer...?

[ Even after seeing that memory, she thought she had the right idea. Was she mistaken from the start? ]

So that was all... what, for revenge?
raygunner: (hum for your buzz)

[personal profile] raygunner 2017-12-24 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, you're absolutely correct.

[ He smiles, but it looks... wrong. ]

Don't be mistaken, though. Kurusu wasn't the one I truly wanted to see crash and burn.
shineinside: (Y: If you say so)

[personal profile] shineinside 2017-12-24 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...Who was it?

[ She isn't sure if that question has an answer that would make her trust him more, but Kurusu definitely would have been her first guess. ]

Do you really want to know? The truth might shock you.
shineinside: (Y: I'll do this myself)

[ What could be so shocking that it would be disturbing even if they're from different worlds...? ]

...If you feel like you've already revealed too much, I won't pry further, but otherwise, go ahead.
