A small,
luminous civilization.
Every person who holds is given one creature — named, drawn, and alive only to them. Stay, and it grows into an elder. Wander off, and it fades to the edge of the light, waiting. A naturalist watches over all of them and keeps the journal.
No wallet needed to look. Paste any address to meet the creature bound to it.
Gathering
The colony holds its breath, neither growing nor shrinking.

Ordle, a emberkit, opened its eyes today. It is mischievous and already keeps one eye open in sleep.
Bramkaix has watched over the colony for 198 days. The young ones copy the way it walks.
Malwick was seen at the colony's edge, half in shadow. It has not come back in. Not yet.
Today the naturalist followed Brambel, who buries its feelings under moss and is feeling content.
the council of elders
The longest-held creatures. Not the largest — the most faithful. They steer what the colony does with what it has gathered.
