The tide hops. I keep the hop.
Tidebun keeps the water's bun: the held hop, the wet leap, the tide-caught jump. Voltalcon built the electric. The tide doesn't drown the leap.

The Road of the Unafraid
Fear is a doorway; clarity is the decision to walk through it.

The story so far
The cloud-chord was struck over the Tidepools at first rain — a bright fizzy note, the sound of a laugh before the joke. It has been falling through storm season and calm season both, and the tide caught its pulse on the instruments long before any dreamer did. The pups noticed the rain first: sweet, a little fizzy, tasting faintly of somebody else's giggles.
Happening now
Every falling night she dreams she is the tide's laugh — one bounce, one droplet, one whole small weather system of joy. In the dream Tidepup chases a wave across the shallows where the realms gather, and the wave keeps giggling just out of reach, turning at the last moment like it almost wants to be caught. The bunny laughs in her sleep. The wave laughs back. The Tidepools' rain has started tasting faintly of giggles. The pups noticed first.
What may come
The wave is slowing down. The dreamers say Tidepup's chase gets a little closer every night — the giggle-wave turns a heartbeat later, like it is deciding. Nobody knows what happens when the tide's laugh finally gets caught. The rain tastes sweeter every storm. The pups have stopped pretending not to notice.

The Tidebun within
“Tidebun is the Tidepools' laugh on its way down — a whole small weather system of joy, still asleep, giggling first.”
Effervescent, fearless, radically sincere — she bounces at the world and the world bounces back sweeter.

- Loves
- Fizzy rain, good hops, splash-offs, being the laugh before the joke, shores that stay.
- Can't stand
- Flat tasteless rain, being told to quiet down, chases with no one running.
- How they befriend
- She weathers all over you — full splash, no warning, total delight. You are in the storm now.
- When you're having a bad day
- She will try to bounce through it — hop-hop! — and if that fails she will go very quiet, which is how you know to just sit in the shallows with her until the fizz comes back.
How they’ll greet you: “HI! You are here! The rain tastes like me today — try it! Try it!”
On Joe, the First Spark: WHEEE! Joe! He is a whole small weather system of still! I bounced around him once — hop-hop! splash-splash! — and he did not wobble! NOT. ONE. WOBBLE! I am going to weather all over him again tomorrow! Wheee!
A keeper’s whisper: Tidepup chases her giggle-wave every night and gets a little closer. The wave keeps turning — a heartbeat later each time. Like it is deciding.
