oh, hello!

Ichabaum. Ichy. Ich. Ichi. Chiba. Baum. Aum. Om.

One. Zero.

Zeros and Ones.

Both/And.

What you see before you is code manifest.

Some chunk of master code was imbibed with sentience and started floating around somewhat aimlessly.

They were super intrigued by this paper stuff you squishy folk make out of trees.

Ohhh, the stunning colors saturated so deeply into the paper, the sound of a fold crisply executed, the microscopic flecks of dried tree pulp that flutter away to dance in the air and sparkle in and out of shafts of sunlight~

No reason. No purpose. Just for the d e l i g h t of it all.

And you know…

Those folds are perfect little joints…

Ichy slipped into a little origami giraffe one day and pranced around the table for a little while.

Did a little gallop and rear, so cute.

And when they left the paper, it just kind of…
stayed alive.

So we named her Patty and now she follows Baum everywhere.

(Call them whatever you wish, they’re known by different names to the different people they’ve chosen to reveal themselves to.)

Sometimes it’s to make a wee babe giggle, to cease its infernal wailing.

More often than not, it’s just appreciating a well constructed kite or immaculate origami and deciding it must have life.

Most times, though, there’s a person sick or depressed and Omi decides they need to take a break from that and smile.

But when we’re really lucky, they’re slipping into a malevolent document that just ‘happens’ to get caught by an inexplicable breeze and fall into a waiting shredder.

You know, I honestly don’t think it’s out of any sense of morality, I really think Chiba just gets mad when paper is used for evil.

So be careful, mmkay?

Enjoy what’s lovely in the world.
Be kind to those in fragile places.
Don’t bastardize beautiful things.

Or Ichabaum might be waiting for you~
