Merry Christmas To The Devotions Out There

Zam's world is only his castle, save for the people that visit. He has no control over who they are, no control over when they come and go. He cannot leave.

People come and tell story's to him, they mistake him for a traveler too and expect some in exchange. He wishes he had his own stories. instead he retells what hes heard from others, inserting himself into their lives and changing details to fit him.

One visitor comes a second time, this time with a companion. Zam had been alone for most the month and was more than eager to talk with them. Distracted by the new person, (new details, new colors, new movements), he retells the story from the first visitor.

They immediately catch on, waiting for him to finish before asking him about it, about his situation. He's nervous to answer, most think hes a traveler who happens to have decided to live here, but with enough questions he tells them.

Anything past the edges of the castle dissolves into the sharp blue, when he was younger (younger is the wrong word, time isn't something you can count on for its consistency here. When he knew less. When he could count how many stories hes heard on one hand.) he tried to touch it only for it to solidify and burn.

They leave soon after, he hides away in the tower from any visitors until he can make out their voices. He's standing by his door when they finally introduce themselves, Mapicc and Ro. With all his anxious hesitance he opens the door and goes back down.

They brought him new foods to try, something that made his eyes well up, and Ro had to carefully explain his tears. Zam tells them about one visitor who came after they found out, someone who could slide in-between the gaps in his door and walls and comforted him when he refused to leave his bed. More stories are told, there's always more, and eventually they have to leave again, disappearing into the not-quite-as-pointed-blue.

It's always clear to him after someone leaves, the warmth he feels goes with them. He can't explain it but the stories make him more real. That without them he simply wouldn't exist. Once they leave he feels the chills set in again, worse now that he was used to the warmth.

He could only wait for their return.

Achilles' Heel

some ivorys for you on this fine whitepine wednesdaysunday

an intro to a lil mini comic thingie i made that i thought looked too cute to not be posted on its own w/o words

what if zam and mapic got those bracelets where if you press/hold the top of one than the other bracelet glows for that duration

they use it when the other ignores them or when they’re irritated with the other so they start spamming the bracelet and suddenly the others wrist starts flickering for a good 5 minutes regardless of what they’re doing

middle of a battle- random flickering, trying to brew pots- random flickering, sleeping- random flickering, eating- random flickering, in an important meeting- random flickering, trying to hide from an enemy invis- random flickering

both bracelets are synced to have the same level of brightness so occasionally when trying to find the other while flying, one would crank the light level to max and scan for a beacon level of immense light before the other gets a chance to turn it down

they toned down the mass flickering once they realized how often they would need to change the battery

at a point it switched completely, mapic got bored and had the idea to start trying to communicate with morse code, zam was not in favour of it as they could just whisper if needed but mapic heavily disagreed

once when zam was trying to ignore the flickering while building, 4c gasped from a house over and zam became alarmingly aware and concerned of what the lights had just spelled out, he asked but 4c refused to elaborate, not daring to repeat it so after great irritation and debating whether to take the bracelet off or learn morse code, zam gave in
