Negotiations Can Be Tricky

Summary:

Tick (Tock's brother) and the Icosahedron are off to the old City of Wisdom for negotiations between Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. But is there enough wisdom to get the two sides to understand each other?

Notes:

Chapter 1: Tick

Chapter Text

Quiet moments always make me think of my brother. Not because he's in any way quiet. He's been talkative ever since he was a puppy. But since our names got messed up when we were born, any time there's no sound, I can hear myself going “tocktocktocktocktock” and think of Tock. I don't mind. My parents expected that I would go “tickticktickticktick.” Can you imagine? Any time I took a break I would hear my name, endlessly reminding me that I should be doing something.

I'm not one to waste time, but I do like to watch it pass sometimes.
