[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.

[ Maybe barrelling through the Jukai like she does so often kind of does the novelty in for her. ]
What'd they build it for? Just for fun?
no subject
[The Batter can't think of any other reason for a roller coaster to exist beyond some mindless fun.]
Yes, although it was closed down until my Puppeteer opened it again.
[So technically the Batter supposes it was breaking and entering since it was on lock-down? Ah whatever.]
no subject
[ She draws that thoughtful little hum out like a piece of gum. This Storytelling session has been informative in one way for sure - she's learned that other people's worlds are weird as all hell. ]
So the Puppeteer's like, your boss or something?
[ they must be, if they can pull strings like that. ]
no subject
[So basically their 'name' is exactly what it means and all that implies. Sure, the Batter could give the other names they went by but there were far too many to count.
Not all of them made sense, either. But that's just the way it was.]
no subject
[ It's hard to tell if she's sassing him or if that's genuinely what she's choosing to take away from this. Oh well. ]
Wonder why they were so hung up on the roller coaster. Maybe they just don't have them, back wherever they are.
no subject
Perhaps. They seemed to like those things.
[And smacking him into walls and bookshelves because they couldn't figure out a puzzle, but you know. This Is Fine.]
no subject
[ now she's just being nosy but hey, this IS the storytelling session ]
no subject
No. I could not speak with them like you and I are right now.
[Only a one-way communication.]
no subject
[ More like the Shinju-sama. Not that he'd know what that is. ]
I guess you already had the best word for it, huh? 'Puppeteer'. Sounds a little creepy, though. I wouldn't wanna be a puppet.
no subject
It's fine.
[It worked out in the end. Everything ended the way it was meant to.]
