Novabun
Spark · Common · One of 100
Falling through the dark between stars, counting constellations like other bunnies count carrots — The tally grows by one every night; The counting is the dream. The growing is the proof.
A cloud-bun falling through the dark between stars, counting constellations the way other bunnies count carrots. Hevea wears his harvest scars like paint strokes; Novabun wears the whole night sky, and the tally keeps growing.

The story so far
The cloud-chord was struck at the rim of Starfall Drift, when a small star fell and Nova caught it before it could shatter. The catch made a sound — a soft chime — and the chime became the note. It has been traveling four cycles, the patient road. Nova has kept the fallen star polished all this time, waiting to show someone.
Happening now
She dreams of counting constellations the way other bunnies count carrots, while a tall gentle star-tender — Nova, all silver patience — keeps adding one more star, just for her, just past the edge of the count. Tumbling past in the long fall are two other shapes, one warm as toast and one quick as weather, and all three wave without stopping. Novabun suspects, in the way of dreams, that the last star will be her.
What may come
The chime-note has started arriving doubled on the instruments — the note, and an echo a breath behind it, like something catching up to itself. The navigators' blank star on the charts has grown one fraction steadier. But an echo means the source is close, and close is all anyone will claim.

The Novabun within
“Novabun is falling through the dark between stars, a cloud-bun with a whole night sky swirling in her fluff, counting constellations the way other bunnies count carrots.”
Methodical, tender, quietly wondering — she keeps the count true and never forgets a single good thing.

- Loves
- Exact tallies, the doubled chime, stars placed just past the edge, being counted correctly.
- Can't stand
- Miscounts, vagueness, tallies with missing numbers, being rounded down.
- How they befriend
- She keeps your count — your good things, tallied nightly, never forgotten.
- When you're having a bad day
- She will count slower, softer, as if the numbers might break — until you let her tally your good things back to you. Being counted helps more than you would think.
How they’ll greet you: “Oh, good. You are here. That makes seven good things today. Eight, counting you.”
On Joe, the First Spark: ...forty-one, forty-two... Joe. That makes seven good things today. Eight, counting him. I tallied his stillness: one more. One more. One more. The tally never ends. One more like a wish.
A keeper’s whisper: Nova keeps adding one more star, just past the edge of the count. Novabun suspects the last star will be her. She is not asking.
