[MU] - JUNE STORYTELLING
Once a month, the texture of your dreams draws you together in a communal space where your stories may be shared with one another - or with the Storyteller alone, if you so choose.
Now, it's worth noting that the current physical...shenanigans at play in the waking world may creep into Mu as well. You may arrive here capable of vocalization, but looking rather unlike yourself. You may still be in someone else's body entirely. Or you might be restored to normal, just for one night. The call is yours!
Just remember that the types of stories you can tell are dependent on how long you've been here, and that's not likely to change, even despite extenuating circumstances.
What's more is that you've run out of voting options, dear islanders. The last island available this round will be the one that lost out on everyone's favor: the one represented by crimson flames, a crowd of people, and the coils of some great thing far above their heads.
All you can do now is wait for it to appear.
Once you get rid of that pesky Clown Box, that is.
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.
