Story
A Word From the Pond
A polite goose who bows and says excuse me to every candle on every chart, and ducks behind a lily leaf whenever red shows up. Gentle, well-mannered. For soft-spoken traders who say please and thank you to their watchlist.
Pond Etiquette
Rule one: always hold the door for a green candle. Rule two: never honk at a chart, it has feelings. Rule three: if the colour turns, excuse yourself with grace and wait for brighter weather.
The goose keeps a tiny pocket diary of every candle it has ever greeted. It has never once forgotten a thank you. It has also never once looked at red directly, which it considers simply good manners.
Fee plan
The creator fee goes to keeping the pond tidy: community art contests, meme bounties and new goose sketches for the gallery.
Team
Two pond-side doodlers and a retired crossing guard who taught the goose its manners.
