[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.

Is there any more loving bond than between a kid and their dog? Mickey's heart swells to see this, reminded of his own pet pup waiting for him back home. He really can't stop smiling.

"... Big guy got a name?"

Chip glances away for a moment, partly uncomfortable but feeling stupid for being so. There's nothing wrong with what they did. Maybe a little reckless, but...it's proof enough that this was a better place for them, isn't it?

"Grant. He's my...my dad." Chip is quiet for a moment, before hastily adding: "Uh, he's, um, a werewolf. That was...my first full moon with him."

[souris_keteer]

... That answers just as many questions as it raises. Apparently this isn't a bond with a kid and their pup, but a kid and their pa.

... Still pretty darn cute, though.

"And you're not one?" Mickey asks curiously. "So you're more of a 'chosen' family!"

[demonpuppy]

"Y-yeah. He...he adopted me, just before I got here." It's still a sore point, but they're trying very hard to not let that wash out onto Mickey. "He didn't know if he'd be allowed to, but the judge said yes."

"He's the greatest, though! He, he's real smart and knows so much about magic and stuff, and he's got this whole shop fulla reagents and supplies and junk! He even lets me play with the garnets and stuff sometimes." It was something of a guilty pleasure to enjoy black conduits like that, but they weren't using them. Just, you know, looking.

Yep, still pretty darn cute. Mickey can't help but chuckle at Chip's gushing.

"He sounds like a really great guy. I hope I get to meet him sometime... I bet if he were here, things would be a whole lot easier." Maybe not entirely true, but why not keep the kid happy? This is fun!
