[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.

[For what it's worth, she's not looking, at least not to see his embarrassment. Instead she's listening what he's saying. Considering.]

... I'm a replica.

[It's... it's something she feels he should know. Trusting him, so he can trust her, and also because the other knew it too. Also she's not entirely thinking clearly at the moment.

At least her earlier reaction to his memory might make more sense now.]
bloodyashes: (Maybe he's born with it -)

[He's smart enough to at least not say that he kind of got that impression from her first memory.

Instead he's quiet for a moment. Thinking. Turning over... What's already been a hell of a night in his head.]


...Unless you're planning on stealing someone's life and name and living as them, I don't think it matters. That's what really - that's where the problem is.

[And Izunia Lucis Caelum proved that you don't need replicas or clones or anything to do that, didn't he?]

[She laughs in reply, a choked, wet sort of thing.]

N-no, no... I... I have my things, my life. That's all I want. That's all I ever wanted.

[It just took her a while to develop a lot of those things of her own, and to discover what was and wasn't hers.]
bloodyashes: ([F] That's because...)

Then I think I can handle it.

[Not 'I think it'll be okay,' because he doesn't know if it'll be okay, really. But if it isn't, he's pretty sure that it'll be the kind of okay that's not -

Not her fault, and therefore his job to manage.]
