Pandora's Fox II
PANDORA'S FOX II
If you were here last June, do you remember that app that appeared on the relics then, Pandora's Fox? It's all about finding your Familiar bond. It's been available for people to use since every Star Child was forced to fill it out or have it filled out for them with its grand reveal. However, it's sat quietly in the background unobtrusive to those who didn't click to see what it was about.
Until now.
That's right, Pandora's Fox is back! (and with a makeover). The app has been rejiggered with old questions and new, including some specific to each Role! The app will buzz and open itself with a blank profile waiting to be filled out. Star Children can fill it out for themselvesāas long as they don't lie. This app will not allow Star Children to lie. Honesty is important in a Familiar bond. Star Children who lie may find that answer filled in a little too honestly and unable to be deleted. Anyone who waits too long to fill it in will find it answered for them!
Familiar bonds come in all different shapes and sizes, so find the right person for you!
This is game canon!
Forms for your characters!

Though you are still a child, so at times you will need guidance and support from adults. If you or Luz are ever in need of an adult and your guardian is unavailable you can always come to me. We don't need to have some stupid 'Familiar bond' for that.
[ ...Cale is thankful none of his allies are around to hear him teaching teenagers new curses. ]
A 'bull' is usually referring to an adult male cow still capable of reproducing. They are large animals used as cattle and have very large, particularly foul-smelling shit.
no subject
[She's had so many leftovers at this point. At least save some of your food, sir! Or cook smaller portions! Or... be less transparent.]
Is this human slang? I'm not familiar.
[These Disney kids aren't cussin' normal.]
no subject
[ This is just one of the many responsibilities of an adult. Not a big deal at all. ]
'Bull' is the proper term used on Earth and other worlds I know of. 'Shit' is crude slang for feces.
'Bullshit' is mostly used to call out something for being complete nonsense, or a lie while 'shit' is more of a general expletive that can be used in many ways.
As an example, when something goes wrong or something bad happens I will say or think 'shit'. Using expletives can help calm you down in stressful situations and even make pain more tolerable.
[ He pauses. ]
...But since you're still a child you shouldn't use expletives. Try using 'crap' instead of 'shit'.
no subject
[She will concede, though. She's still on the fringe of being self-sufficient not to get herself killed but young enough to want someone to check in every now and then. Teenagers...]
I've never really understood, if the words mean the very same thing, how one can be worse than another. What made it an expletive in the first place? Why is it so comparatively crass? "Crap" is not a pleasant word either.
no subject
I don't have an answer to that. The only research I've done on expletives is how to say them in multiple languages.
no subject
[Gurl it's more that you're not used to adults paying positive attention to you, but go off.]
How many languages do you know?
no subject
If you mean fluency, I know how to hold a conversation in at least five and I can read in more languages than I can converse in.
no subject
Five languages on its own is impressive! I'm not even sure how many languages still exist in my world. I've only ever known the one I grew up with.
no subject
[ Cale doesn't have a special ability related to knowing if someone can be trusted or not, but he spent over thirty years as Kim Rok Soo learning how to read people in order to survive. If teaching children how to do the same saves them from what he had to go through then Cale will gladly teach them. ]
I have a cheat skill that makes languages easy for me, so I think knowing magic is much more impressive.
no subject
[....]
Okay, that does make it sound like it's her fault. But I don't blame her for choosing her family.
no subject
Amity, you are a child. She manipulated you, used you, and when you were understandably upset by that she abandoned you.
You were allowed to be angry just as she was allowed to help her sister.
But she chose to be your mentor. She chose to take on that responsibility yet abandoned it as soon as things became difficult. She let you run off and never tried reaching out to you again.
It doesn't matter what was going on with her family. She could have taken time to at least send a message to check on you.
What she did is something you don't fucking do to a child.
no subject
But no one did, and Lilith betrayed her trust, and left her.
Her voice is quiet when she finally responds, hesitant, as if she's struggling to believe in her own words.]
I failed, though. It's what her coven teaches. When something's a failure, you throw it away.
[It's what her family did, too. Prospects, dreams, friends, children. If something's not up to par, just get rid of it or find something better. There's always better options.]
no subject
You are a child and she was supposed to be teaching you. The one who failed was your mentor, not you. So you should be the one throwing her away.
You've grown up well until now, all without the support you needed and deserved from the adults around you. You are already strong and smart, so you will be even more amazing once you're finished growing.
You've done a good job.
no subject
As for those older than her, it's such a short list. Her parents are... well, her parents. Enough said about that. Lilith took what she needed and left. None of her teachers protected her, afraid of the iron hand of Blight Industries or indifferent to her plight. Adults who should have been on her side only cared for themselves, or ignored her.
Here, Rue was kind, Rue encouraged her. Eda was nice in her own way, but she wasn't one for big speeches like this, and Luz was her protege, not Amity. This is...
It's a lot to take in. The idea of "good job" without strings attached.]
...It... wasn't fair. What she did. She made me cheat in front of everyone, and I didn't even know it. I worked so hard! I worked every single day, I did everything right! Everything she asked! And she didn't believe in me at all... she didn't even apologize...
no subject
Yes, you're right. It wasn't fair, Amity. You deserved better than that, and are owed an apology.
no subject
...It... it's okay. In a weird way, she saved my life by leaving me, anyway.
no subject
You are okay. You survived and you aren't alone. You have people who will support you now.
But that doesn't make what happened to you okay. Don't ever think that it does, because you didn't deserve that.
no subject
You don't know what I was like. You don't know what I deserved.

It's the job of adults to let them safely make and learn from those mistakes while feeling cared for and supported.
no subject
Why are so many adults so bad at it, then? Looking back, for so many years it feels like all I ever learned was how to do it wrong.
no subject
[ ... ]
For an example, my mother died when I was eight. My father couldn't bear to look at me for years because I resembled her too much. His grief kept him from being there for me as a child.
[ It feels. weird. To be speaking of the original Cale Henituse's past as if it were his own. But he has inherited this body and its history, so...
At least he knows the original Cale would approve of this. ]
...We've reconciled now and are much closer, but that doesn't make his neglect okay.
no subject
I'm sorry...
[It's not the same as her own story, of course, but it's not so different either. She can sympathize. Her mother's not literally dead but she's lifeless when it comes to affection and care. Her father's neglected her for nearly a decade, focusing on his work and ignoring what was happening to his children entirely. The recent Bonesborough Brawl was the first time they'd really talked in ages. Reconciliation... she can see that taking a long time, too.
And the neglect was not okay. Not for either of them.]
Were you able to tell him how you felt?
no subject
No, I didn't. I didn't need to.
While my father is a little awkward with feelings he is very perceptive. He knew how I felt from my actions.
[ A sigh; softer than he usually sighs. ]
It was a long time ago, and I only brought it up so you could understand what I am saying a bit better.
You're smart, so I'm sure things are a bit clearer for you now.
