I hardly participated in this because of a few unexpected happenings but it was a very fun event and and an extremely talented job performed by the host with the song interpretations. I loved it and hope you plan on doing more in the future ^^/
Thank you again!

Tacked under each poster for Leilani Leilai's Very First Storytelling Circle is a list of songs as well as a cluster of messily scribbled hearts followed by the words: "THANK YOU FOR COMING EVERYONE! MAY THE SPIRIT OF BARD'DOM GIVE YOU ALL THE GREATEST TALES!"
(( Participants of the event might notice some of the songs have been slightly tweaked since they were originally recited. It's because Leilani fixed the flow of them after the circle was over. Some were sloppier than she liked because she was racing to finish each song before every story ended. (It was fun, but sometimes hard! T_T)
Participants may use the songs Leilani made for you for anything you like! Thank you for coming and humoring my terrible poetry skills. :] ))

The Song of the Unrelenting and the Unceasing
Story originally told by "Mister X" ((Player: Xydane Vale))
Song penned by Bard Leilani Leilai
In a place far away – a town long since gone
Lived two mighty brothers of strength an' brawn.
They protected their home with courage an' peace,
Until wit' a black dragon's roar did their joy suddenly cease!
Fire swallowed up nearby towns an' homes,
Leavin' behind only sadness an' blackened bones.
The Brave Brothers' town up n'fled for th'hills,
As th'siblings faced a battle tha'd give a grown man chills!
Fire clashed with steel, th'brothers strugglin' wit' all their might!
Never b'fore had they fought such a terrifyin' fight!
When th'stars went dark and all th'world was still,
th'townsfolk returned to th'brothers' mighty kill.
Sent off t'Thal's realm, there th'dragon did lay --
Along with the brave, brave brothers who kept th'darkness at bay.
So forget not th'Unrelenting and th'Unceasin' One.
May you fight wit' as much honour when your battles are won.
Good, Old, Loudmouth Whan
Tribal song recited by E'patine Whan.
Original Author Unknown
Good, old, loudmouth Whan - who had more girls than ten. He was a good nunh, but he'd say to them: "You're too big, it's like I'm dipping my sausage in a hallway."
The talk went around, everyone laughed, soon girls left, and he took some new.
The same went with them, and soon all around everyone knew him for a liar.
Yes, that's what happens when you have a loud mouth, and try to plug a winebottle with a toothpick.
[Leilani seems to have scribbled the following message under this song: I'll sing this song once I figure out what a Nunh is and why they dip sausages fer a living!]
Captain Baraenbaen and his Tugboat
A Limsa Lominsan Bar Story recited by Ghalleon Helseth
Song penned by Leilani Leilai
MOST DEFINITELY WRITTEN BY SOME OTHER LALAFELL.
DEFINITELY NOT BY LEILANI LEILAI. MUM DON'T KILL ME.
Ol' Drunk Captain Baraenbaen once had a mighty boat!
Bedded so many ladies on'it, t'was a wonder how it stayed afloat!
His crew tossed him out t'sea, onna rickety little canoe!
Wasn't very long at all, b'fore the Cap'n swore his balls'er blue!
Suddenly water came sweepin' in -- his little ship had a hole!
Poor drunk ole Baraenbaen was frightened t'his very soul!
With th'hole being a certain size, the captain wasn't sure what th' hells t'do.
'Til he undoes his pants, drops'em ...and stuffs his manparts right on through!!
His dangly bit hangs out there, til' a mermaid decides t'spare his life!
She grabs'im by his delicates and tugs'im away from all his strife!
Excerpt of unfinished song: 'The Mage that Aether Forgot'
Cautionary tale from the North, recited by Alvere Renaud
Song excerpt penned by Bard Leilani Leilai
Once there was a magician who studied night and day,
But alas, the aether wouldn't ever work th'poor man's way!
His fire turned t'water -- his water turned ta dust,
In his unlucky hands, magic wouldn't do what it must!
Fury darkened his soul an' he shouted to the skies:
"TWELVE, I'VE PRAYED T'YOU DAILY AN' YOU GIMME ONLY LIES!"
Fed up with his lot, the mage turned from his home -
Planned t'head down south, to travel an' to roam.
But ill luck quickly followed, like a dastardly little hound!
A flock of bad ole' bandits soon had'im gagged an' tightly bound!
"WE'VE FOUND US A MAGE!" The group of bandits did cry!
"Well, is he any good?" Th'mage sputtered: “YES! I DON' WANNA DIE!â€
He was ordered t'turn a man into a dodo, only t'turn their boss into one instead!
The bandits turned their blades towards him, plannin' ta stab him til' he was dead!
“AETHER!†The mage cried. “OH, PLEASE DO AS YOU WILL!â€
And BOOM! A rush of knights poured in, makin' the bandits all go still!
They scattered like th'four winds, scared out of their little wits!
Racin' like all th'world's monsters were snappin' at their tits!
[The words "TO BE CONTINUED!" are scrawled at the very bottom]
Oyster Girl
A Limsan Parable sung by Brynhilde Wulf (And accompanied by traditional highlander dance!)
Original Author Unknown
As I was a-walkin' down a Limsan street,
A pretty little oyster girl I chanced for tae meet,
I lifted up her skirt and boldly did I pee,
Just tae see if she'd got any oysters.
O oysters, O oysters, O oysters" said she,
"They are the finiest oysters that ever you did see.
I sell them three a gil, but its five I'll give to thee
If you bargain for my basket of oysters."
"O landlord, O landlord, O landlord" said I,
"Have you got a little room for th' oyster girl and me,
Where we may sit down an' be merry, merry be
While we bargain for our basket of oysters?"
We hadn't been upstairs for a half a bell or more
When she picked up my purse and down th' stairs she tore
While she left me with her basket full of oysters.
"O landlord, O landlord, O landlord" I cried.
"Did you see th' little oyster girl a-drinkin' by my side?"
She picked all my pockets!" But th' landlord he replied,
"Now, you shouldn't be so fond of your oysters!"
Now all you brisk young lads be advised by me,
If you meet a little oyster girl and you would merry be,
Be sure you pick 'em well an' caution's th' key
Or she'll leave you with her basket full of oysters.
Poem by th'Father of Emelia Iscantel
Donated to Leilani Leilai to recite for the Bardic Arts!
There once was a Hyur, who lived in the woods
Who went to town, to peddle his goods.
The Hyur was tall, and handsome as well,
And when he would smile, his goods would all sell!
But the Hyur was not happy, his smile was fake,
For all alone in the woods, his heart would just ache.
Then one day in town, with the sun in his eyes,
The Hyur saw a girl, whom made his heart rise!
The girl wasn't tall, but she had long flowing hair -
And when she got closer, her skin was quite fair!
The Hyur summoned his courage, and gathered his wit,
And started towards the girl, thinking himself fit!
As he reached the girl, thinking back on his life,
He smiled and said, "Would you please be my wife?"
And now there's a Hyur, who lives in the woods,
With a wife and two daughters, among other goods!

I had a lot of fun at this event even though I didn't participate much or tell a story. It was awesome seeing Leilani turn the stories into a song immediately after. Actually I'm damn impressed. I'm looking forward to another one of these Storytelling Circles, maybe I'll have something to share by then.
RE: Leilani Leilai's Storytelling Circle! - Tiergan - 01-26-2014
I was originally going to wait until the event was over and just send people songs, but I thought people would find it more fun to see the results right away.
So while people were telling their stories, I was frantically typing and praying I'd have something that wasn't a giant mess by the time the story was over. XD
RE: Leilani Leilai's Storytelling Circle! - Xydane - 01-26-2014
What a fun and great event, Tiergan!
And a big thanks for the wonderful song! I have updated and placed it on Xydane's Wiki page!
Hopefully we'll see another event soon!
