[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: Faust
Character Journal:
Number of Offerings: 3
Offering(s):
Story 1: Faust has been exploring the new isles with some newfound acquaintances! In particular, he had a nail-biting encounter with some particularly unfriendly wildlife, and had to retreat with his unconscious companion in tow! Come to think of it, he should probably talk to them more about this...
Story 2: The island celebrates the Lunar New Year! Of all the pleasant surprises this place has brought Faust thus far, this one definitely takes the cake! Unfortunately, his recollection of this story is hampered by the fact he may have gotten the slightest bit drunk, but he's too overjoyed to care.
(...what do you mean it wasn't Chinese New Year?)
Story 3: First the massive ink fight, now the Denny, and soon probably even the new library that's opened up: Who is this bizarre defiance of all conventional laws of medical science?! Skeletons cannot walk without muscles! Eyeballs cannot function without a brain!! WHY IS HE WEARING A WIG?!
One paranoid rant later, it's clear the good doctor is unsettled by the resident skeleton for reasons of debatable validity. And he seems to think he might be a threat? It's not exactly clear.
Public/Private: Public
