The living story

The story so far

Waldo's mustache — the emperor's great white flourish — is twirled at a rate directly proportional to the depth of his thought. Deep thoughts: constant twirling. He is, therefore, always thinking.

Happening now

He owns three of Sela's unsigned bracelets and twirls his mustache whenever asked where he got them. He will never tell. The twirling intensifies.

What may come

He supervises Zip's spider-silk braiding with twirling approval, and Nib's captaincy with twirling respect. The mustache endorses everything. The mustache is rarely wrong.

Whispers about Waldo

“Forty bracelets this season, left unsigned on traveled branches — and Sela spotted only twice, never caught. Half the canopy wears her work without knowing her name. Waldo owns three and twirls his mustache when asked. He will never tell. But here is the whisper's edge: last week, a forty-first bracelet appeared — on the Unnamed's empty branch in the High Canopy. Braided in Sela's style. Sela, asked, went very still, and then kept braiding. Someone is leaving gifts for the nameless. Or something is.”

Forty bracelets. Never caught.

The Tiny Ones

Marmosets and tamarins: the smallest monkeys in the forest and the loudest about it. A pygmy marmoset weighs less than your phone and has stronger opinions than your group chat. Do not underestimate.
