[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 slowly opens his hand as he fights back his anger, then holds it out, beckoning her to come closer.]
As long as there is still time to change things, then there is no reason to give up hope. I'm certain you figure out a way. Fate only wins if we allow it to.
[Astrals know, Ignis isn't about to let fate win on his side. He won't let them take Noctis. He won't.]
Now, what were you about to say before you cut yourself off? You know you can talk to me about anything, right?
no subject
... I know you can, [ she replies, quietly. He's always been there, steady and willing to listen. It reminds her of her dad, almost. ] Back home, I... proposed a mission. It failed. I have to wonder if it failed because... I wanted it to, on some level. To prove I wasn't the one to do what they wanted me to do.
no subject
Why fail to prove anything to them? You shouldn't belittle yourself just to escape a fate you didn't choose. Instead, do things on your own terms and in your own way. Succeed if only to show them whose way is the right one.
no subject
... I've been a bit foolish, haven't I? [ Because he's right. ] I think... I may be a bit scared.
no subject
I can hardly blame you for being afraid. I would be more concerned were you not, because it would mean you weren't truly acknowledging how serious the situation was.
no subject
I know I should not be... I have so many others by my side. The women I travel and fight with are so strong, it feels as if I'm dishonoring them by being frightened.
