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 themselves—as 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!

[unrival]

Ah...

[It's silly, but on the other hand, it's normal, isn't it? Very unfortunately. "Different" so often means something to point at and question. No matter where you go, that's how society is.

Just because the Boiling Isles' idea of "different" doesn't include extra personality or heads doesn't mean they don't follow the same basic rules.]

Is that why you don't like bullies?

[Not... that bullies are especially likeable.]

[tooawesome]

[ Alluka swallows hard and nods. Most people don't think of Nanika as a person, not back home. Here, here people are better, but they also mostly don't know. Not even a little bit. Because they've kept it quiet. Which, it's a secret, and it's safer for everyone that way. It also means people don't really have the chance to be bullies or not, not the same way. ]

Yes. I don't like people being mean to Nanika.

[unrival]

That... makes sense.

[She hesitates now, but... it's only fair to be transparent. Alluka was with her.]

I... used to be a bully. I thought I had to, to stop something worse from happening, but the reason doesn't make it any better. I learned my lesson. I promise, I'll never ever be mean to your sister.

[tooawesome]

But I wouldn't accept other people being bullied either! It's not just for Nanika.

[ Alluka is quick to point this out. She simply never met anyone else in need of it for most her life. She never met people for most her life. Gon is good. No one bullies him, but she'd step up if they did. Or if someone bullied Amity or—

Alluka blinks and stares at the screen. Her mouth a small o. She takes a moment to gather herself and nods. ]

Everyone can learn to be better. That's what's important. Not to do it now you know better.

[unrival]

Yeah...

[Still feels bad, but until she properly makes amends, it's a feeling she deserves to experience. Just because Willow seems to have forgiven her (enough for them to become friends and hang out again) doesn't mean she's done enough.]

I'm trying to. I want that, more than anything. To be better than I used to be.

[tooawesome]

I haven't witnessed you bullying a single person, or I'd have spoken up about it.

[ That's meant to make Amity feel a little better. She'd never have guessed about Amity's bullying past if she hadn't said something herself! Or if it didn't come up in a trial. Perhaps that would have happened. ]

We're not perfect, but we can do our best. Not make the same mistakes! Make NEW ones.

[unrival]

W-well. I'm definitely good at making new ones.

[Is that good? It's kind of good. Better than the alternative. She's at least confident that she hasn't done any new bullying, certainly not since befriending Luz proper.]

[tooawesome]

Excellent! That's awesome. Sometimes I get scared about making mistakes, but I remind myself everyone makes them. I'm part of everyone.

[ Alluka gets quiet a few moments. ]

I've met more people my age here than I ever did back home!

[unrival]

That's good. [Suddenly reminded vaguely of Hunter.] Did you ever go to school before coming here?

[tooawesome]

I was... homeschooled. Before I met Gon, the only other kids I'd met were my siblings or some of the butlers. [ Even then, they were way more careful about which butlers she met before the big trip to save Gon. It was a lot of fun to meet Canary and Amane. ]

So Kuma Lisa Academy is my first school! The classes are small, but I also meet people outside of school.

[unrival]

It sounds like this world is a good place for you in many ways.

[tooawesome]

It is! I wanted to go on an adventure and see more new things. I was already on an adventure and seeing the world with Big Brother, but this is an even bigger adventure!

How is it being here for you?

[unrival]

Hmm... I have mixed feelings. I think it's safer here, but my home is in danger, so being in this world means I can't help anyone there. I would struggle a lot more if Luz wasn't here with me, too. I don't dislike it, either. Just about everyone I've met here has been good.

[tooawesome]

Oh no, I'm sorry things are bad back home. Is there any way you being here can help?

It's understandable it's not home and won't be, but I am glad you're here at least for a while. I'm so glad we met and we're friends.

[unrival]

I think if I can get stronger, and remember what I've learned, being here might help me. I just need to learn better, more effective magic. Something that would work against the Collector.

I'm glad to have met you, too! It's good that we're friends. Knowing there are people here to protect will make me stronger, too.

[tooawesome]

You can definitely get stronger. Baba Yaga is perfect for that, and I'm sure since it's so important, that you'll manage to remember when you go home. It's possible, I've heard, to remember.

<33333 That is good to hear. I am not a fighter! I've learned to run away, and that's it.

[unrival]

Oh, I have attended Baba Yaga! I go with Luz sometimes. It's... an interesting school. Sometimes it feels a bit like home.

If you ever find yourself in danger and I'm nearby, run to me at once! I'll protect you.

[tooawesome]

I've taken a few lessons on how to best be a Familiar, but I'm mostly at Kuma Lisa Academy. Gotta get through the basics first! Ooooh, your school must have been so interesting if it's like Baba Yaga.

I will 100%. I also always keep an adoption plushie on me, so it can guide me to family.

[unrival]

I suppose it was interesting. It's the only school I know, so it's normal for me! But I love learning magic, and that was my main reason for attending, so that counts.

You were adopted here?

[tooawesome]

Normal schools can be interesting! I'm not bored at Kuma Lisa. I just sometimes wish my classes were larger and we had more students. Magic, that's amazing! We don't have magic schools where I'm from.

Oh yes, I've adopted many people as my siblings. I love them all so much.

[unrival]

Maybe someday I'll give Kuma Lisa a try. Just to see what "normal" means for a human.

And that sounds wonderful! I envy you a little. I haven't seen my siblings for a long time now...

[She hasn't exactly cemented any siblings in Folkmore just yet.]

[tooawesome]

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply your school wasn't normal. I'm sure it's very witch normal!

It is wonderful. I make sure to see my siblings all the time if I can. They're the most important part of Folkmore to me. Them and friends. The only things you really need in life!

[unrival]

No need to apologize, I'm not bothered! I'm just curious about what the differences are.

I like how you think, Alluka. I'm glad you have so many people supporting you.

[tooawesome]

Okay. I'm curious too! In another year or so, I might be ready to specialize myself, but I'm not entirely sure what I'd want to specialize in.

And I support them. Including you!

[unrival]

I'm honoured to be included! I hope I support you too.

[Hmm. Specialization, huh.]

Let's see. What sort of things interest you? What do you think you're good at?
