[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: Beauregard
Character Journal:
Number of Offerings: 3
Offering(s):
1. First, she starts with a badly told but incredibly enthusiastic story about her incredible ascent to the spire on Maati. While she does let everyone know there wasn't anything of note up there, her point here is looking as impressive as possible, and semi-subtly letting them know that if people need shit climbed, they should consider hiring the Mighty Nein for cool climbing tasks.
2. And of course, this leads into the second story, about what else they found on the island. While Yasha touched on this and Nott full ass called her out, Beau makes it very clear this was not her fault, and makes it sound a lot more like they got some good hits in before figuring out they couldn't take this thing. It decidedly leaves out the part about how she got punched so hard she doesn't actually know how they retreated because she was full ass unconscious.
3. Finally, and almost hastily like she forgot about it, she brings up what she and the Drifter encountered earlier this month at the storytellers temple. She mentions that while she hasn't seen some of the other islands this place may have visited, she kind of wants more deets on that big lava-fire-hell-world, and wants to put it out there that something's likely up.
