[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.

[Everyone keeps saying that. Implying this to be a cruelty when it is simply the way of things. Regardless, they remember his face. He is a friend of Ren’s, and therefore under their protection.]

my kind is not welcome

[They don’t think they have to gesture to indicate the tint of their skin, unique as it is - no one else here looks even remotely as they do, though some certainly stand out in their own way.]

simply are not

[As it turns out, the Drifter's grasp on concepts such as "fantasy racism" is somewhat limited. They've never felt the need to question that the tint of their skin marks them as something to be disliked and feared on principle; they simply are, by default.]

... Well that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

cannot change it
it is and so it is


[Why fight it? They can decry it all they like; call it stupid, call it faulty, call it poor reasoning. It will not change the end result.]

I refuse to believe that--if you don't like being treated like that, you gotta say so, otherwise that kind of thing never stops.

i do not speak louder than they

[The Drifter looks to their speech, hovering in the air just to their left. The written word would never be louder than the shouts and hostile screams of those who want them go. This they have learned with time. No matter how peaceable they make themself and how much they might protest, it will not do away with the sins of those long past.]

[It will not ease the hurts of those that find their appearance unwelcome.]

[... Okay, that's a fair point, but...]

Well even then, giving up is quitter talk. You gotta keep trying anyway.

not giving up

[They can say that much in their own favor; they do not give up. They have never given up once in their life, under any circumstances. Dying and fading fast, and still, they have endured.]
