These people live off of stories, rather than food or drink. To continue living, they simply need to continue to have interesting moments to have written upon their story, this keeps it winding upon the internal wheels of their shells. Dinners are less about eating, and more about sharing a moment with those around you. Since aging it tied to your story outgrowing your shell, some people believe that they can completely stop aging by refusing to partake in interesting moments. For most, this refusal of the call creates a story all of its own, and so they keep living and aging. For some lucky few, this process works, resulting in a state of near-permanent hibernation, as the cessation of their story winding within them results in them becoming unable to move. However, even these people can be pushed back to waking life by a disturbance from others, as the influence of others may also add to their stories.
