[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: Five
Character Journal:
Number of Offerings: 2
Offering(s): Five explains the relevancy of his brothers Klaus and Ben's arrival to his calculations with very many math words and some equations written in the Chamber of Glyphs for illustration purposes. He peppers this with a lot of asides about how he's had to teach them basic survival and how useless they are, but the amount of time he spends talking about them shows that he's pretty damn relieved they're here.
He's also wondering if there's any statistical relevancy to the amount of formerly dead people around here, which was brought to his attention on the community rock. It's more of a side project, since he doesn't think there's evidence of a strong link between that and his own family's arrival here, but he can't say for sure until he's seen the data. He'll have to catch up with that Kravitz fellow.
