[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.

Character Name: Alexei Dinoia
Character Journal:
Number of Offerings: 3
Offering(s): Storytelling is still very much not Alexei's thing! Who the hell would've guessed. But he actually does seem to be doing slightly better today? Still awkward and overly formal in phrasing, but it's obvious that the things he's talking about aren't bothering him in the way that his previous stories have.
1. He spoke to Ignis about the forges, and was commissioned to make a set of throwing knives for him. It's been a while since he was able to make anything, and he's actually very pleased about doing so - he'll talk a bit about Dein Nomos here as well, which was something he forged himself and is rather pleased with in terms of outcome, though he won't elaborate on why. Basically, he's a fucking nerd and he wants to talk about swords so goddamn, he's going to talk about swords. This will eventually dovetail into actually going to see the forges for himself, and making something there, just to see what his capabilities are with what he's got; Yeager came to talk to him there, and they discussed their world and what's been happening there. He won't go into details regarding specifically what incidents they talked about, but it's clear that the discussion went surprisingly well. He's a little hung up on how...well it went, actually... Though he'll shake it off eventually.
2. He's been trying to figure out synthesis, though he isn't entirely sure he can do that here; even if he can't, he finds it worthwhile to see what sorts of things the archepelago has to offer in terms of materials and the like, and he's been enjoying seeing what sort of things exist in that regard.
3. He spent time with Asgore at the Denny, and they showed each other magic over tea. It was just sort of a generally pleasant time, which is something that Alexei isn't exactly used to and it's likely obvious in the way that he recounts it. What the hell are friends. Are he and Asgore friends, he doesn't know. He's still trying to work that out.
