[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.

[Good job, Ren.

She thinks so too. It had been under rubble, towards the back of some forgotten trashcan. The compliment from her mouse friend is nice to hear. The memory itself doesn't bother her-in a post apocalyptic world, this is about as happy as it gets and she treasures the day she found this little flower.

It's my favorite treasure.

I can see why.

[He turns to her with a big smile.]

It looks really nice on you, too.
catpiper: (don't go getting murdered out there)

[Every interaction with Mickey puts a smile on her face and this time is no exception. She plays with the ends of the fake petals and says-]

It would look nice on you too.

[This dumb flower means the world to her. Keep complimenting it!!]

Do you want a pretty flower too?

Uh... well, where I'm from, guys don't wear flowers...

[... no okay he can't do it he can't bring himself to even risk upsetting her.]

... But this isn't there, this is here, so, why not!
catpiper: (rather not gamble on an afterlife)

[Where she comes from everyone is dead and the living better wear some heckin flowers.

And since there are no other flowers on her person in this dreamworld, she plucks the barrette from her hair and, if he allows, pins it right to his hat. This is temporary until she can find him his own real flower. But it'll give him an idea of how nice he looks with one.

There.

[Mickey stops, surprised-]

Huh - What?

[And then he holds up his hands.]

W-wait a minute, Ren! That's yours, I couldn't possibly take it! You found it, you earned it!
catpiper: (compulsed to start screaming again)

[personal profile] catpiper 2017-12-30 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's right. She found it, earned it and she fluffs out the "leaves" on the barrette.]

You can borrow it until we wake up.

[Despite how pretty it looks on him, she's not willing to give up her special treasure forever. It's easier to visualize the kind of flower that would look nice on him by doing this though.]

Then we can find a special flower for you.

[personal profile] souris_keteer 2017-12-31 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, well, in that case, that's much better. He couldn't live with himself if she'd given away her most important treasure.]

... All right then. The moment we wake up, it's all yours again.

Thank you, Ren. It's a real honor.
