[MU] - MARCH STORYTELLING
The world is silent, and the dream-night is absolute. The Storyteller has no commentary to offer you, or warnings to venture, or anything else. There is only the drape of Mu's night and the vision of a campfire, and the means with which you might tell your stories.
In the waking world, Cahypdo still awaits. After tonight, Monsun will once again vanish. What happens until then is all routine...
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.

IC || STORYTELLING
no subject
I've been spending a lot of time on the new island this month, there's a lot to explore. [And truthfully he's not explored all that much, he doesn't want to wander off on his own too far.] Me, Ren, Hollow Knight, Knight, Amaterasu and Hector explored some of the rock pools near the coast, we found a lot of different creatures. We also found an abundance of Caulerpa lentillifera. They look a little like seaweed and also like grapes. [He holds up his notebook, in which he had drawn a very basic sketch of them.] They are safe to eat and go pretty well with fish.
I also met the Roaka, they are a very interesting people and friendly despite the fact we are the first different people they have seen in generations. I've been helping with lots of you after the earthquake, it seems such things are common on Cahypdo.
Keeping Track.
Um for those who were here last story telling I said I was going to collect everyone's names and then compare this time so we could keep track of those who had disappeared.
So the following people have gone missing in the last month. Gladio, Newt, Nezumi, Ann, Mira, Prompto and Barry. Hopefully they will return soon...
It's hard to tell here when people are gone just for a short time and when they are never coming back... But from what I have observed here and where I was before, I think if they are gone two months, miss two story tellings then we can probably assume they won't return...
Damianos has been gone that long... I didn't know him that well so I can't say much but when we met he was very kind to me. We met in Ai'Tuoh. [There are people here for whom the name of that city does not strike pain into them but Shion doesn't elaborate much.] He gave me a headscarf in case white hair was too 'unusual' for their rules...
Ceej... [No. He can't. Tears fill his eyes and his hands clutch tighter at the notebook in his hands. He had something prepared to say but now... How can he find words to explain all that Ceej was to him. How much he misses him, how much he regrets everything that was not said.] Remember his name. Remember them both.
Census Later, when he has calmed down and during a gap in the stories Shion can be found approaching anyone whose name he doesn't yet know, anyone who arrived the last month who he hasn't ran into yet. "Hello... Can I take your name?"
