[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.

[Big Smile!!!]

Why, of course I do, Muffet! I'll always think you're a good person, no matter what! We're pals! I'll always believe in you, and I'll always trust you.

[...okay, this is actually a surprisingly effective tactic, in that she would now rather stick her hand in a blender than disappoint him. It would probably be less painful.]

I think that kind of thing is how we all manage to be good in the end- we support each other as best we can, and try to help each other figure out what the right choice is when we have trouble finding the way.

But if you're looking for good people, dearie, I think all you might really need is a mirror.

[precious cinnamon roll is a powerful effect.]

Heh heh! I try my best... and that's all we should ever really ask of anyone.
prettypurpleparlor: A subtle web (I'm sure you're very welcome)

Quite right. Just know that your efforts are appreciated, should you ever doubt that fact.

Heh heh! You got me, and I got you. No doubt about that.
prettypurpleparlor: Bidding you good morning now (Dear friend)

I think we can call this wrapped, unless you want to add more?

After all, that's what friends are for.
