So We Can Take the World Back From the Heart-Attacked
The night of the 21st, the sun begins to dim. It dips in the horizon, sinks to nestle itself in the center of Chol like a star falling in slow motion, where it begins to smolder quietly - massive, smoking, and hot, like a massive egg. The night grows colder, the sky reduced to an inky black. The surface of the surrounding water is still but for the occasional ripple, the odd, strangely subdued wave, with not even the hollow lights of distant stars to glint off its reflective waves.
The Jormun gather around the sunken, dying sun with their scaled hands on their weapons, their expressions grim. They fan out across the island of Chol with arms in hand. Their fortifications have settled around the island's center in a dense ball of bristling weapons. They have been preparing for this. They are ready to fight.
Are you?
No more preparation. No more running.
From here on out, it is fight or die.

One Maniac At a Time, We Will Take It Back
As the Storyteller has promised, there is sanctuary in their temple on Ensō, which will keep out the worst of the creatures. It will not, however, protect characters from the cold and dark, and so they will have to keep themselves warm some other way.
The Jormun fight fiercely, but they do not fight alone. Aside from the help that the willing of your number have offered, you may glimpse the Storyteller battling alongside the rest in a flurry of strange, shifting animal shapes: a heavy-antlered reindeer, a shrieking owl with outstretched talons, a slavering grizzly bear with the Storyteller's signature tome strapped across a broad, furry back, to name but a few. Those creatures that the Storyteller defeats will burst into a flurry of paper and dark, spattering ink, rather than being felled in the conventional manner. How odd.
As this is an event with a high risk of death, the Storyteller will impose death penalties for one week only. However, deaths succumbed during the event will count towards the character's total.

Then I'll Raise You Like a Phoenix
Come the sunrise on the 28th, the sun will launch itself into the air with a victorious shriek, its wings trailing plumes of fire behind it. The phoenix takes flight, reborn from the ashes.
Munin will greet the survivors with a mixture of solemnity and relief, thanking them profusely for their help. There is not much more that her people can offer you, at this point - they must grieve their dead, and she must return to the sea to prove that she has cemented her worth as a leader in the eyes of the other Jormun - but that does not mean that your stories will part forever.

Well. 'Fine' in a sense.
"Noct!" he greeted the other with a quick whirl of his head. "It's Iggy! He's okay."
As if he needed to let him know that Ignis was there, but he was the boy who pointed to Noctis to let a blind man know he was there. He only pulled away from Ignis just enough to turn and look at Noctis, leaving one hand on his back as he did so.
The rolling of the plushie caught the corner of his eye and he reached down to grab it really fast for him.
"Ah... Hey, isn't this...?"
Not that he hadn't seen that there was some sort of plush there, but he hadn't paid close attention to it on account of the fact that his friend was not only back, but was crying. But, maybe he could help Ignis out with this.
"Isn't this the limited edition white mage chocobo plushie that you could only get if you were at the midnight release of Chocobo Dungeon XV: Revenge of the Moogles?"
Though he didn't press it back into Ignis' hands, he held it in front of him, ready for the taking.
no subject
He took a few more steps closer to Ignis, so that he could place a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Are you sure you're okay? Do need something? Food, water?"
no subject
He reaches out, and after a moment, finds where Prompto is holding the plush in front of him and curls his fingers around it, gently pulling it back toward himself, "Ah, yes. It is. The Storyteller brought it here for me as part of my first request."
Conveniently, he doesn't specify why he would have asked for such a thing considering they are in a survival situation and there are so many more things he could have asked for, but it's obvious from the careful way he holds it to himself once it's back in his arms and how well taken care of it is, he values it a great deal.
And it's also a great comfort to him.
no subject
"Ah man, I'm so jelly right now. I always wanted one as a kid." He wasn't going to judge Ignis for his plush. Especially since he really had wanted one. A chocobo in a cute outfit - what's not to like? But despite the lighter tone, his hand never left Ignis' back.
He wondered if Noctis would let things go so easily. Prompto wasn't trying to ignore the problem - he just wanted to get Ignis to a better place. Then they could talk things over.
"Are you all right to stand?" No force either way. If Ignis needed more time, that was fine. If he was ready to get up, Prompto was ready to move and help him. "Camp Solheim will be safer than here. But, we can wait a little bit if you need." His tone stayed soft throughout.
no subject
"We can take our time getting to the camp," Noctis reassured. "Besides, I'll be leaving once I get there." He had Lunafreya to look for.
