Ichor in the Walls

"Solitude. Peace and quiet," Ichor grumbles. "The world outside the walls is so loud and busy. I am meant for the quiet places in the dark depths of the world. But the burden of a name binds me here. I am function without form, potential without purpose. Yazeba named me Ichor, and so it became true. But what even is Ichor? What am I supposed to be? Other than a squishy weirdo, nyeh!"
Sep 16, 2024 9:10 pm
"If you tire of solitude, you will discover you fit right in with the rest of us weirdos." Amelie dusts the nearest shelf from where they stand. "Goodnight, Ichor," they say politely.
Sep 16, 2024 9:18 pm
Ichor seems taken aback. "Huh? No, I dismiss you! Scram!" It squelches and skitters back into the walls.

As Amelie dutifully goes about their cleaning, Ichor sloughs out of the walls and glares at the maid. "So, what, you think you’re better than me? Not even trying to find me? What gives, Rob-bot? Eh?"
Sep 16, 2024 10:44 pm
Amelie replies, "You said you wanted solitude, so I was respecting your choice. But to answer your question, I do not think I am better than you.

"You are immune to Yazeba’s curfew-enforcing sleep spell that is so powerful, it puts even herself to sleep. So it is nice that you want to talk tonight. I like having a break from solitude.

"Do you?"
Sep 16, 2024 10:46 pm
Ichor hesitates. It looks around with beady yellow eyes. It grinds its teeth. "Hmph. Fine. What should we... what should we talk about?"
Sep 17, 2024 12:31 am
"Proton Gal."

Amelie is not sure why they blurted that out. Perhaps because a majority of the Hey Kids can speak volumes of Proton Gal.
Sep 17, 2024 1:05 am
"Proton Gal?!? Never met the broad!" Ichor scoffs. "How am I supposed to talk about someone I know nothin' about?"
Sep 17, 2024 1:19 am
Amelie replies, "I can relate. I do not know anything about Proton Gal either, but the Hey Kids talk about her a lot. Not all the Hey Kids, but some of them.

"Proton Gal is one of the aspects of life I missed out on because I tried to live only for purpose. But the Residents taught me that skating, and other silly, counterproductive activities are the best parts of life."
Amelie then admits, "I do enjoy being productive, but I am new to the concept of joy.

"How about yourself, Ichor?"
Sep 17, 2024 1:52 am
"Me? I dunno," Ichor says squishily, its form writhing and shifting. "I don't really have any experience with life outside the walls, 'cept for these past few talks with ya. It's big and open out here, and kinda scary. Lots of loud people and bright lights. But maybe... maybe I could find something out here to enjoy..."

Ichor shudders and burbles. "Bah! What am I sayin'? You're making me soft, Amelie! Back into the walls I go! Nyeh!" And with that, Ichor is gone again.

I haven’t gotten cocky and drawn for a while. But probably for good reason.

I’ll take the 3 out and sleep.
Amelie is too efficient on this night. She sleeps after failing to find Ichor…
