User:Tirerim/sandbox/Template:LivingStory

A Living Story adds a real-time delay to an effect or occurrence in Fallen London. The Living Story will be activated by a regular storylet. Then, after the delay, the Living Story will trigger and appear in the player's Messages tab. The first Living Story that every player encounters is Time, the Healer.
