[MU] - I'VE HEARD YOU SCREAM IN YOUR SLEEP
[The night of May 27th, in the familiar avenue of your dreams, you will finally receive some manner of explanation for the catastrophic mishap that has struck the local network of Stones of Farspeech.]
[The Storyteller is, unsurprisingly, harried in their delivery of this news. Perhaps their stress will be evident in the shape they have currently chosen to assume.]
- stories. I need stories to fix this. I'd not realized things had grown so dire. The monthly upkeep was not enough to sustain this ever-growing, ever-changing fabric, and so I'll require your stories. They may be past or present - it does not matter, but the sooner you can offer them, the sooner I can fix this! From as many different people as possible! Variety is critical. One story from ten people will be more helpful by far than twenty from one!
I...I will fix this. I can fix this. I only need your help to do it. The more I can accrue...
[A moment of consideration, and then - ]
Ten. Ten at the minimum. Ten should stabilize this. Twenty-five will ensure it will remain stable for the next three months. Fifty, and it will remain stable for the rest of the year.
Without your aid, I will be unable to make this right.

[If your character wishes to donate, they may comment to the corresponding top-level below. To ensure that no one goes bankrupt, we will impose a five story limit per character - and only two stories can be used to stabilize the network immediately.
If your character wishes to converse with the Storyteller, they may also do so.]
no subject
It is a story worth responding to. And when they do reply, their own tone remains just as level and bland as what Connor would expect from them when speaking...even if they're singing in turn.]
Staring at the blank page before you, open up the dirty window- let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find. Reaching for something in the distance; so close you can almost taste it. Release your inhibitions.
[Is this what you wanted, Connor?]
Feel the rain on your skin. No one else can feel it for you; only you can let it in. No one else can speak the words on your lips. Drench yourself in words unspoken. Live your life with arms wide open.
Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten.
[Is it?]
