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!

Natasha Romanoff | Black Widow
39 | Female | Legend

You know, I've never had to fill one of these things out for myself before. It's a novel experience. I feel like I should say I like piña coladas and long walks on the beach. I have been many things in my life. I'm trying to figure out who I am here, where some things remain the same but many things are different.

My favorite of these colors is: Red

I live in: Epiphany.

I spend a lot of time in: Depends on the month, really. Last month I was in Cruel Summer a lot, but I'm feeling pretty done with that.

I choose these areas because: They have features of interest.

Regions/locations I avoid: I spend less time in Tides than other places.

I avoid them because: It's like being stuck in an elevator under water.

I think I'm a Legend because: The fox has an interesting sense of humor. Also the categories are bullshit. Statistically speaking, grouping people into convenient categories for judging has rarely turned out well.

Reasons I would form a Familiar bond: I suppose if it was mutually beneficial to do so. But I think the emphasis on bond-forming is a little creepy. The formalization of naturally formed relationships and commitments is a common thread in most societies, but once all this magic gets involved that's a whole different element.

What I want from a Familiar Bond: What does anyone want from such a formal commitment? A partner, I suppose.

I have these physical traits: I am told my eyes change color now.

My mood ring eye colors mean: That my mood is changing.

The best way to help people is: Enable them to be in a position to make their own choices. Show them different choices that their previous experience may have blinded them to. Support them so they can continue to choose better.

My dealbreakers are: I have a longstanding distaste for people who take advantage of those who can't fight back. Other things depend on the circumstances. But I think we can safely group people who think genocide is a solution and those who kick dogs into my DNI list.

[nativized]

Have you worked out how to determine what color's what with the eyes?

[getscooperation]

It hasn't been a high priority. I'm thinking of investing in a line of sunglasses instead.

[nativized]

Eeeh, you think it exposes you, or just sick of answering for them?

[getscooperation]

I have been told it's helpful to have hobbies.

[nativized]

Oh. You planning to make them, or is investment a hobby now?

[getscooperation]

Investment as in 'purchasing many.' After all, hundreds of stamp collectors can't be wrong.

[rosae]

When you say Tides is like being stuck in an elevator under water, does that mean literally or metaphorically?

New lady here, trying to figure out which places to avoid.

[getscooperation]

Metaphorically. It's actually a metropolitan, artsy kind of place with all kinds of clubs and access to pretty much anything anyone could want. It's just also under water. Deeply under water. It's worth a visit, once things get back to normal.

[ Because not everyone is paranoid and can not forget, even for a moment, that there are zero escape routes. Those people can probably have a great time in Tides. ]

[rosae]

Oh — that's a relief. I've missed actually getting to shop. ( She was in not one, but two nightmare hellscape worlds before this place. A gal could use some nice new clothes and entertainment. Although getting back into the world of normalcy feels a little odd to her now, like she's not sure she actually belongs there. )

I could do without the underwater part though, I think. That does sound a little claustrophobic... I can see why it might make a person uncomfortable.

[getscooperation]

You'll have to make up your own mind about it once you get down there. Being able to buy whatever you like for the price of a conversation or two does have its appeal. Hopefully you'll get a chance to experience that side of Folkmore. Unless you just want to go home, in which case, I wish you luck.

[rosae]

This place really wants us to make lots of friends, huh? ( Rose can't hide a dose of something wry, sarcastic. There has to be more to it than that. Some ulterior motive. )

But no, I want to stay here. It's... My daughter, she's here, too. I have to stay with her.

( She's terrified to be separated again. )

[getscooperation]

Something like that. [ She nods a little. ] Family makes it complicated. I hope your daughter isn't very young.

[ Children in this place... rough. She's done it, survived in terrible places as a child. Other people shouldn't have to. ]

[sine_metu]

What about getting caught in the rain?

[getscooperation]

Well, I'm not that into yoga. [ A beat. ] Or hypothermia.

[ So, you know. It's fine as long as there's something warm afterwards. ]

[sine_metu]

I leaned later sex in the dunes at midnight is not as sexy as it sounds in that song.

Sand gets everywhere.

[getscooperation]

[ ...uh-huh. ]

Not a lot of things are as sexy as they sound in songs. More people get bit by dune bugs that way...

[sine_metu]

It's a really good song though. Very catchy. With some interesting ethical implications.

[getscooperation]

[ Dryly, ]

Yeah. I somehow don't think that meeting would have been quite as sexy as it was in the song either. [ The way it's presented - laughing it off and then dealing with the problems that had led them to that point? She'd give that very small odds indeed. ] But it is a catchy song.

[therewerefifty]

[...you know, if she were to consider being a familiar to anyone...

...probably wouldn't work out, though. Quietly:]

...I've... killed a lot of dogs.

[getscooperation]

[ Oh no, Makie. That's...

Natasha hastens to clarify, ]

Killing dogs who need to be killed and kicking dogs just because you can are two entirely different things.

[ And she has never known Makie to kill something that wasn't attacking her first. ]

[therewerefifty]

[The breath Makie lets out is subtle, though Nat is keen enough to pick it, no doubt. She smiles faintly.]

Well. I have never done so for enjoyment. I can assure you of that.

[getscooperation]

Then I’m sorry to say, we can still interact just fine.

[ Sorry not sorry, Makie!! ]

[therewerefifty]

[She smiles at that.]

I have noticed your eyes change colour, but I didn't realise until recently that was a Legend attribute. [She was just too polite to mention it tbh.] I agree about the categories, however. It seems a little... arbitrary, at best.

[licensetocrane]

I mean, pina coladas are pretty amazing.

[Look, I may be just turned nineteen, but I'm also in college.]
