[MU] - NOVEMBER STORYTELLING
After the chaos of last month's Storytelling, it's probably nice to have a little routine involved. Compared to the bombast and terror of October, tonight is downright peaceable.
Maati still awaits. But for now, you can rest and relax and trade tales of your exploits.
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.

Character Name: Ignis Scientia
Character Journal:
Number of Offerings: Two
Offering(s):
Story One: Last month was fun for pretty much no one and waking up with such vivid reminders of things he'd rather not have shoved in his face (ha) every day didn't help make it any better for Ignis. What did help was actually letting himself relax and have fun. In this case, that took the form of the not so blind trying to teach the very much blind how to braid without it becoming a complete mess.
Honestly, he and CT are probably lucky Gladio likes them so much.
Story Two: Continuing the trend of doing fun things, Ignis jumped right into offering to cook something for Aster's birthday when Shion asked. The discussion quickly turned to talk of magic, though, because Ignis knew that the way Eos' magic works is quite different from how he's discovered it working on the worlds of others he's talked to while being here. He's found Shion's very good at putting information of this type together, so if he can find some kind of pattern that includes even oddball Eos, they might really be onto something!
Public/Private: Both are public this time.
