[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.

[This seems like a nice memory.]

[Frisk doesn't really grasp the full scale of what's going on -- whose memory is this, exactly? -- but they've never been one to fret the smaller details. What they see is a pair of teenagers, seemingly friends, having a nice conversation. The only thing they're a little disappointed about is the fact that Yuka stopped trying to dance so soon. You totally had it in the bag, dude. Invite your new friend!!]

[They glance over to the present Yuka, arching an eyebrow softly. Why is she so flustered... ? Oh, they get it. This must be her memory. Then, she must know what's coming next. In that case... they want spoilers. Frisk leans in conspiratorially.]


Are they gonna smooch?

No, they're not!

[ Yuka stands bolt upright fast enough to almost jump out of her own skin. This... This could be construed as just Kyouko's memory, right? Let's go with that. Yeah. ]

Or at least... I guess eventually they will? But not in this memory.
souldeterminant: (hope that you fall in love)

[Frisk glances to her again, humor creasing the edges of their eyes. They raise a finger and wag it at her sagely.]

You don't have to be embarrassed. Smooching is natural.

[They, being like 12, totally know this.]
shineinside: (Y: WHY)

[personal profile] shineinside 2017-12-25 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
O-Of course it is, I just mean... [What DOES she mean?]

It's just kind of a personal memory. I don't want to spy on who Kyouko is or isn't kissing...

Kyouko? [They echo the name, looking back towards the pair, and point towards the shorter girl.] Is that her? She's pretty.
shineinside: (Y: This is what I actually look like)

[personal profile] shineinside 2017-12-28 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuka blushes as if she isn't trying to keep up plausible deniability about every part of this memory.]

Yeah, she is... and she's incredibly strong and kind, too. Compared to her, there's nothing all that special about me...
souldeterminant: (until somehow you can find)

[personal profile] souldeterminant 2018-01-14 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[They note that blush with a raise of an eyebrow. Ahh, they get it.]

So... you want to smooch her?

[Love triangles. Tragic.]
shineinside: (Y: WHY)

[personal profile] shineinside 2018-01-14 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Wh--

[You thought you had seen Yuka in panic mode before, BUT THAT WAS NOTHING]

I, I didn't say anything about that! She's just an important person to me... [Lord, where is this cover story even going? It was pretty obvious from that reaction that they were right on the money. Is she really going to have to make up a love triangle between herself, herself and Kyouko in order to escape this conversation intact?]

[Bingo. Never fear, dear Yuka, Frisk lives for this stuff. They nod sagely.]

It's OK. You just have to smooch her before he does. [Frisk pauses contemplatively.] Or do it at the same time. Maybe she wants to smooch both of you.

[This is mortifying, but maybe it's also her way out???]

I'll... I'll do my best?
