[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.

...Are you sure that she isn't a Mirage?

[ Mirages basically look like people, right? They didn't find her in a dungeon, but... ]

I don't know if that makes sense or not, but... maybe we've never actually met the real Diamond...

Honestly? I'm not really sure. I don't think she is, because she would've disappeared when we beat her. Right? That's usually what happens.

[ And there wasn't a Shard either. No Labyrinth... ]

But basically everything we know for sure about the Imaginaerium is just what she told us. So maybe Mirages don't always come from Shards?

[ She gives a frustrated little yowl and scrubs at her hair. ]

Aaaah, thinking about this is gonna give me a headache...

Don't worry too hard about it, okay? Right now, we can't do anything about Diamond, so we should focus on the things we can deal with.

[ So she says, but she's going to be worrying about this plenty on her own. Might as well let one of them stay carefree, right? ]

She's still out there though, right? So we've gotta work out something...

[ This is about as close to genuinely forward thinking as Kyouko gets. Praise her, Yuka. ]

If we could get to the Imaginaerium from here somehow then I bet we could find something... but I haven't had any luck. What about you?

Nothing - as far as I can tell, we're completely cut off from both worlds. I think we need to just keep each other safe until one of us can find some more information...

Right! That's easy enough. I've just gotta stick to you like glue and punch out anyone who even thinks about giving you trouble.

[ k--kyouko, no. ]

And we'll just have to keep brainstorming until we figure out what to do about Diamond. I know we'll come up with something if we put our heads together! It's what we're good at.
