[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: Héctor
Character Journal:
Number of Offerings: 3
Offering(s):
- He starts off describing a newcomer who, as of yet, has not spoken, signed, or written a single word at him. The purpose of this 'story' is mostly just to wonder out loud if anyone else knows anything about them. They might have looked creepy, but so do half the other people on this island, c'mon guys.
- Hey, Tory, what do you think of a card tournament? Mostly this is just him bringing up the idea again. Who's for it?! (Also, he is going to order some stuff. Yay. Please enjoy him passive aggressively implying that wearing a suit on a tropical island is stupid.)
- A runthrough of all the nothing he did on this very good island. Seriously, an island where nothing terrible happened? Life is good?? Will they have to pay for it later??
