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!

OTONO-TACHIBANA MAKIE
25| Female | Familiar

A fallen samurai turned prostitute turned geisha turned killer turned... stay tuned.

My favorite of these colors is: Lavender.

I live in: Gram.

I spend a lot of time in: Gram and Never Fade. The Shattered Spoon Shrine.

I choose these areas because: It's peaceful and they remind me of home. I donate Lore at the shrine that I make playing the shamisen for Never Fade's residents.

Regions/locations I avoid: None.

I avoid them because: I don't visit regularly, but no place is worth avoiding. I did avoid places with extreme temperatures while ill, however.

I think I'm a Familiar because: I lack the will to be either of the other two.

Reasons I would form a bond: I would not.

What I want from a bond: Nothing.

I favor these animal forms: Crow.

I am interested in: I don't know.

The way to win me over is: Not having any demands of me.

My dealbreakers are: Hurting those I care about.

[nativized]

I think I meet all those qualifications! Oh no!

[ ... He has no idea why she put this up. He can't help but tease a little. ]

[therewerefifty]

[Congratulations! As Makie's first response, you can be met with her utter confusion.]

What qualifications?

[nativized]

The ones you just listed on that profile.

[therewerefifty]

...what profile?

[nativized]

The one I replied to.

[therewerefifty]

[Herein lies a brief pause while Makie follows this response back to this... entry.]

I didn't write this. [Though she says it pleasantly enough, it's a little irritating.] Though I suppose it's true enough.

[fogsong]

Given what you've done in life, I don't think it's because you lack will that you're not a Myth or Legend. [ She does not know Makie but it seems to her that she's got plenty of will. ]

[therewerefifty]

[Makie hums thoughtfully, having read back these entirely unhelpful answers.]

Most of what I have done in life was not by choice. But it is true I am not particularly heroic or... [...what even is a Myth anyway.]

Perhaps I just don't have the conviction to be a Myth.

[fogsong]

Or maybe you're not born to fit into any mold. Even though we didn't have a choice in our Roles, Familiar feels like the one that has the most freedom.

I am sorry for my godawful slow

[therewerefifty]

[...

...huh.]

...I think... I like the sound of that more. I hadn't considered things that way, I suppose. But aren't Familiars meant to form bonds with others?

never worry about that w/me you're all good <3

[fogsong]

We can, but we don't have to. We have the choice to share ourselves with someone else, but it's not why we exist.

<33

[therewerefifty]

[That's such a good answer Makie almost follows up with why do we exist just to see what the response would be, but fortunately she's not quite that pathetic.]

Mm. I don't think I am really looking to do such a thing any time soon. Not to that extent, in any case. [She's finding it's nice to have friends.] I suppose best to work out what it is I really want first.

[amurderofcrow]

[Akechi will kill the spirits for this :| ]

I’m glad to hear we both find this exercise a total waste of time.

[therewerefifty]

[Makie's just very Ben Affleck.gif about the whole thing.]

I'm not sure what it is meant to achieve. Was it filled out for you too?

[amurderofcrow]

Partially. When I saw the drivel it was beginning to jot down, I finished the rest of it for myself.

[therewerefifty]

Hm. I didn't even see it until I started getting responses. The Fox may assign me a job here or she may ask me to fill out pointless questions. She cannot have both.

[amurderofcrow]

[A little huffing snort from Akechi]

I imagine you already have dozens of inane offers begging to form a bond with you.

[therewerefifty]

[...and Makie finally Snags A Clue about Akechi's kinda-crush. It gives her pause for a moment, this skewed view of her. But there's no harm in it.]

I do not.

[revengeisalie]

[ Makie-san, you sound... so sad.

Also that last point, ouch. ]

It's pretty weird they're making us do these even though many of us don't really desire a bond, huh?

[therewerefifty]

I believe the lady Fox has grown impatient.

[Look, sad is a way of life.]

[revengeisalie]

That's really sinister.

But it does sound like her.

[therewerefifty]

[She hums thoughtfully to that.]

She has her own ideas, of course. There is no great harm done here, as long as we are not being forced into such a bond.

[revengeisalie]

Don't talk so loud, or she might start to take pointers.

[ Rin shudders for a moment. Hi, her imagination is running away with her a little. ]

[therewerefifty]

This is her world with her rules. I doubt it matters whether we speak it aloud or not.

[She is so reassuring.]
