[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.

.... Oh, did I make you curious? You know what they say about the cat...

[ He absolutely believes Akira'll try for it, the troublemaker. Always pushing buttons, always seeing through someone... it's uncanny. ]

I'm sure you'd like to try and see, but you'd really be wasting your time.

That satisfaction brought it back?

[ He'd hate for you to misconstrue the meaning behind such a well known phrase, after all.

And it is tempting. Seeing these nature reactions is ... satisfying. Like a reminder there is someone under all those layers of betrayal and being betrayed, and manufactured personality for the sake of people who loved the paper-thin outer layer of a person and cared little for the bruises and scars underneath.

...

Akira tilts his head, just enough to speak into Akechi's ear. Close enough for his breath to tickle his ear, at least. Just to see if he can get an immediate reaction. ]


I'll be the judge of that.

[ ....

Akechi puts a hand on Akira's chest and nudges him back. ]


What a troublesome person you are, [ he says, but if Akira looks very closely, he'll see the faintest flush on Akechi's cheeks. And he's very aware of that; he hates it because Akira somehow knows just how to get under his skin. ]

[ Victory. Ish.

Akira lets himself be pushed back, taking a step with the push of Akechi's hand so he doesn't stumble. He absolutely does not miss that flush to Akechi's cheeks, and it feels like a win even if it wasn't quite the reaction he'd hoped for. It's a starting point, at least. ]


You look a little flushed. You might want to find some shade somewhere and cool off.
