[MU] - MAY 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.
Io still awaits, in your waking days. After tonight, Cahypdo will vanish. What happens until then is all routine - and no one has any idea what might be coming.
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: What better way to start off this storytelling than essentially screaming about the horrible abomination in the woods? What the heck is it? Why is it there?! WHY DID NOBODY INFORM HIM IT LIVED THERE?! WHY WAS THERE A WEIRD CONSTRUCT GUY JUST CHILLING WITH IT?!?!?!?
Faust does eventually regain his composure, and admits that perhaps he allowed himself to get a bit too rattled by the strange creature. Anybody affected by its terrifying presence is more than welcome to confide in him. Speaking of which...
Story 2: The good doctor speaks in earnest, profusely thanking everybody who helped support him and the clinic during its renovations - and announces that yes, the Ensō Clinic and Infirmary is in fact open for business! Whilst they are still somewhat lacking in medicines or proper equipment, Faust and his newfound colleagues are more than prepared for any kind of emergencies the isles may throw at them!
(At least, he hopes they are.)
Story 3: After the trauma conga line that was Cahypdo, it's beyond relieving to have an island that's genuinely interested in everyone's wellbeing! The baths, the tea, the campsites...it's a break Faust believes everybody's earned, and caps the story off demanding everyone spend mandatory vacation time on Io. Doctors orders!
