[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.

[ He watches the memory play out, and... well. What a carefree world, a carefree attitude. He is, possibly, only a little bit jealous. ]

It's nice to have a loyal partner, isn't it?
holdmyhand: (just to say hi!)

[personal profile] holdmyhand 2017-12-27 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm! It really is...Kitten grew into one of my most powerful, amazing pokemon partners! He's amazing!

[ she repeats it. Amazing. With a happy grin, she looks up at Akechi!! And!! Woah!! He's pretty tall!! ]

Do you have a partner, too?
raygunner: (wild charms)

this tag got lost ahhh SORRY FRIEND

[personal profile] raygunner 2018-01-05 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
I do, actually. Robin has been at my side for quite some time.

[ which is only partially bullshit, but yanno. ]

I couldn't have gotten as far as I did without him.
holdmyhand: (look!)

NO FAM IT IS ALL GOOD AND WONDERFUL >:C

[personal profile] holdmyhand 2018-01-05 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Robin. That's a...nickname? Is he a nicknamer?? ]

Sounds nice! What kind of pokemon is Robin? Or, uh, is he a pokemon? What do you do together?
raygunner: (dna)

BLESS YOU

[personal profile] raygunner 2018-01-07 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
No, he's certainly not a pokemon. He's called a Persona.

[ ............. ]

We fight monsters together. They're called Shadows, and they're quite dangerous.
holdmyhand: (heyo!)

;w;/

[personal profile] holdmyhand 2018-01-07 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's very sure of it, and it makes Luna more curious!!! ]

Per...sona? Does he look like you? [ she has so many questions!!! ] And that sounds amazing!! I'm sure that they're bad news, but you must be really strong to go against them. [ to go against the odds. To fight in the name of what you believe in. She beams happily. ] There are really dangerous pokemon, too...maybe someday I can show you! Guzma has a Pokedex-- it's like a, um...it's like a pokemon encyclopedia! [ IT IS VERY COOL AND SHE IS VERY IMPRESSED WITH IT!! ] If he lends it to me, I'll show you!

Oh, and I'm Luna! It's nice to meet you!

[ nailed it. ]
raygunner: (cheap and cheerful)

[personal profile] raygunner 2018-01-07 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Far from it, actually. I can show you, if you'd like.

[ He has no problems with that! She seems so earnest... ]

Well, I admit, there are some very formidable Shadows. Really, the worst of them, I've had my fair share of struggles. [ She's a talkative one...!! ] I'd be very curious to see it, then.

I'm Goro Akechi. It's nice to meet you, too, Luna.
holdmyhand: (oops...)

[personal profile] holdmyhand 2018-01-07 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Wh-- really?! [ OH GOD SHE WANTS TO SEE SO BAD ] O-oh, can I?! Is that okay!? Is it going to be... persona-l?!

[ she knows that a small, dumpy skeleton would have enjoyed that one. The joke is somewhat bittersweet, but she grins, anyway. ]

Please! I can show you my team, too!! Nina and Chiffon are really friendly!
raygunner: (doing it to death)

[personal profile] raygunner 2018-01-07 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'd hate to let you down.

[ man this would look so cool if he had his outfit on? He'd be so cool. ]

Come, Robin Hood!

[ and this fucker appears behind him. whoa!!! so impressive ]
holdmyhand: (go on!)

[personal profile] holdmyhand 2018-01-07 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ jesus fucking christ Luna takes a few steps back because holy shit this!!! That is!!! Absolutely not a pokemon!!! Her eyes are sparkling! This is! Holy shit! ]

R-robin Hood...woah! Woah! He looks like a super hero! He's so cool!! [ she beams happily, throwing her small arms into the air!! What a crazy introduction this has turned out to be!! ] Where did he come from?! I didn't see you do anything but call him!!
raygunner: (days of why and how)

[personal profile] raygunner 2018-01-07 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
He is very cool, isn't he?

[ look at him he's PREENING ]

He resides within me--essentially, he's the personification of a part of myself.
holdmyhand: (no way!)

[personal profile] holdmyhand 2018-01-07 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
The personification...

[ some of it brushes past her cheek like a autumn breeze. But hold the ding dang phone. ]

...part of you is a super hero?!

[ THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THAT STATEMENT. ]
raygunner: (i call it art)

[personal profile] raygunner 2018-01-09 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, more accurately... part of me wishes I could be a super hero.

[ ... which is actually pretty honest, and he's surprised at the admission. Akechi clears his throat. ]

Then again, isn't that a wish many people have?
holdmyhand: (just to say hi!)

[personal profile] holdmyhand 2018-01-10 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm.. [ he admits something that feels a little raw, even for Luna. She agrees with him, quiet for a few moments. ]

Then...why don't you be? You'd be an amazing super hero! And Robin could be your sidekick!

[ a thumbs up. Don't worry, Akechi, Luna has it all figured out for you. ] But you need to think of a cool name first...what do you like to do for fun, Mr. Hero?
