[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.

Yes... I suppose it would.

[Tataru is used to seeing the plights of others that are far worse off than herself, so she's able to take it more in stride. But still... some of the other worlds out there truly were awful.]

All we can do is be there for those who need us, I think.

Yeah... that's right. [She reminds herself that as much as she thinks of herself as depending on Kyouko for strength, Kyouko's probably relying on her, too. So, she should try to be strong.]

In a way, it makes it a little easier, being reminded that I'm not the only one who has painful memories. People who have been through something similar can have a sort of a connection, you know?

Yes. Having people who can understand your thoughts... it's rather underrated how much of a comfort that can be.

[She's not always been the best person to share experiences and hardships with people, but from her time at the Forgotten Knight, she's seen what people can do for each other. Even the act of sharing stories, of finding out one isn't alone...

It made a difference.]
