[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: Kravitz
Character Journal:
Number of Offerings: 3
Offering(s):
1. Kravitz starts by detailing his encounter with the newest god, noting it's rather strange that he's been unable to get some clear answers out of them about the nature of the island, other than there are "limits" that they'll discover. He suspects that has something to do with the symbols that have appeared on most of them, and warns everyone to stay cautious.
2. And speaking of doing things with Gods, he mentions that he's the one who set up the stones of farspeech for Harv and Anbaki, and encourages everyone to give them a call if necessary or to offer their assistance. He goes into some details about how it's important to keep their communication lines open, and to keep these gods friendly, giving the subtle cue for no one to piss them off.
3. Finally, he talks about his rescue of Legion at the top of the month, and about the chalk on the walls coming to life. He's a little clipped on his description of this, but he seems plenty worried about the ordeal, and what may come in the future.
Public/Private: Public!
