[MU] - MAY STORYTELLING
In the wake of what has occurred on Ziziphus, the Storyteller has not appeared for this night's sharing of tales. The campfire is ever-present, but a morose air hangs over the flames nonetheless.
There will be no voting this time around either. It seems the Storyteller is due for a break - and so are the rest of you.
It is time, once more, for you to tell a story. The setting will be familiar for oldcomers, and newcomers will recognize it from the introduction they received in their dreams. This too is a dream, and the ink-black dark is illuminated only by the bonfire surrounded by log seats. And seated around the fire are your fellow islanders, many of whom doubtless know the drill by now.
One by one, you will each have the opportunity to share your stories, as stories possess a certain undeniable power. Newcomers can tell whatever tale they wish, but for those who have been in LifeAftr for at least one Storytelling, only stories of their time in LifeAftr will count down the road. The story need not be long, or conventional, or even verbal; as long as the Storyteller knows it has been told, it will qualify. Those of the nonverbal persuasion have, as of a request issued by Ren (catpiper), an alternative means of telling their stories if they so choose, in the form of the Chamber of Glyphs.
If you prefer to keep your mouth shut, that's always an option, though you're more liable to benefit if you do. Perhaps you'd rather not relive any of your history, varied and variegated as it must be. Or maybe you're something of a compulsive un-truther, prone to embellishments and long, fanciful tangents. As long as the core of the story is true to its spirit, you are free to spin your tale however you like.
So choose well.

Taako
Character Name: Taako
Character Journal:
Number of Offerings: 2
Offering(s):
1. Taako tells the thrilling saga of Ren on Tour, aka Ren's birthday extravaganza. There are some detours, like how it's even possible to make fantasy German chocolate cake under these dire circumstances, and how he didn't have to Levitate anyone into the ocean at all, not a single time. It's a pretty impressive list of accomplishments all around, in Taako's opinion and kinda to his surprise. Everyone done good. People literally worked together to make a good thing happen. What the fuck even is that.
2. You know those really unfortunate coworkers who tell you a dream they had and it's not even interesting because it's just real life stuff but kinda Off in a typical dream way? Taako is that guy. What are you even supposed to say in response to the relating of this dream? Nothing, all you can do is suffer, which is exactly what he wants. This is, of course, the closest he's getting to talking about the whole Bliss thing publically.
