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.

#gavelslam APPROVED
An island covered cats doesn't sound bad though and Chara's easy acceptance of the potential new world order is nyace. There's a brief moment where she looks to ESP kitty and pets his head with her chalk covered fingers. If they take over, she's got an in with one of the cat congressmen.]
What happened to the mean kingdom? Did they say 'I'm sorry'? Were they happy too?
no subject
Not quite. The incident happened so long ago that there was no one left who remembered the kingdom. With...effort, however, the two kingdoms finally learned to co-exist.
[They've never seen far enough ahead to know just how badly that had gone, but the ever-present skeptic in Chara doubts the monsters survived for all too long.]
no subject
This is a good ending. Though why effort was needed for them to coexist, she'll never quite understand. Unsolvable differences that require something beyond words was a problem Shin had tried to fix too, with disastrous results. She's glad they didn't follow down the same path. Thank you fictional prophecy angel, wherever you are.]
And they could do this again-
[She holds out her grubby, chalk covered fingers for them to take, if they want to.]
So it was 'happily ever after'. That kind of thing.
no subject
Kind of, I guess. As close as it could have been.
[And no one deserved it.]
no subject
Do you want to sit by ESP kitty? The prophecy says he's very warm.
[The good boy begins to purr when Ren says his name, brushing against her leg, and looking up at them with his adorable anime cat eyes. Look at him! He's so good?? They should rest with him Immediately.]
no subject
But that doesn't stop their eyes from straying to the temple's entrance. It's good, to have a place of respite in the midst of all the fighting. Better still, that Ren can stay out of things until the world is- not safe, not really, but light, at least. Warm.
That can't happen if people like Chara hide, too.]
I'll have to take your word on it, for now. But later, if you like? When I come back.
no subject
It's still disappointing-there's no way she could stop them, can't imagine telling them to stay behind when they want to go out there and help, but-]
You promise?
[Because in the caves, she had forgotten to make some people promise and without those magic words to guide them, they didn't get out.]
I'll wait for you-I'll find a warm place for you to sleep and good food, so you have to come back very soon.
no subject
Still it's-- it's just a promise. No matter what he had thought of them, they weren't- hard, to make. Even if they proved impossible to keep.]
I promise. [They're fairly sure they can keep this one for twelve hours, at least.] And when I return, I'm counting on you to show me your best hiding place yet.
no subject
Okay, I'll find one. For you and your sibling-no one will find you there.
[She didn't forget her own promise-one made when they first met and now seems as good a time as any to figure out where to put two sleepy peanuts.]
I'll be waiting.
