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 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!

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

What qualifications?

[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.

[She hums. Well, the damage is done, so to speak, and there's nothing harmful here. It's just... without her permission. Thanks, Thirteen.]

Perhaps Thirteen thinks I need to get out more. This makes me look more solitary than I actually am.

[...sure.]

Well, if you don't, admittedly, you aren't generating Lore extensively.

[ Though, this current disaster is from an overflow of "raw Lore," right? Maybe the stuff they generate is processed? ]
therewerefifty: (no eyes)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2024-10-25 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I generate more than enough to keep myself comfortable here. That's all that is needed.

[She literally gives concerts on a weekly basis, but that's a very non-personal sort of sociability.]

[personal profile] nativized 2024-10-26 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah? Well, then that's just fine, then.

[ A beat ]

Though I suppose the point of this thing is supposedly to make special bonds.
therewerefifty: (cleaned my face ya happy)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2024-10-27 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
The point of us being here is to be our best selves. If I somehow achieve this and return home, I die. Thus I am happy to just be content in my own corner.

[If the Fox expected any differently, it shouldn't have picked Makie up in the first place.]

Well by "this thing" I meant the Pandora's Fox.

[ He's going to... shelve. For now. The topic they had talked of before, about if people choose to go home or not independent of death. If they can go elsewhere. What the circumstances of it all are. ]
therewerefifty: (back shot)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2024-10-28 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[She hasn't forgotten that conversation. She's just not feeling particularly positive lately, what with the place crumbling around their ears. Not to mention--]

...I suppose I don't like the idea of making bonds being... a little forced like this. Or heavily suggested, advertised without my permission. I would prefer to have the freedom to come and go without being supernaturally tied to someone.

[She's been tied to one thing or another her entire life. She'll deal with it if it has to happen, but while she's being given the illusion of choice...]

[ Huh. ... That's a pretty thoughtful response, so he probably should give his own more serious response. Lex thinks a moment before thumbing over the record button again, ]

The very fact it is has me curious. I feel like I've not heard about these Familiar bonds all that much before now, so maybe there's some survival benefit, to go with the theme of the trial.
therewerefifty: (...you.)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2024-10-30 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
There usually is. Most of the fox's trials promote closeness and vulnerability of one kind or another. [The amount of trials that require overshare, for example.] If you engage with her trials, you are rewarded. For me... sometimes the benefit is outweighed by the effort.

Eeeh, is anything sacrificed in openness other than one's pride?

[ But as he says it, it's very clear from his tone he doesn't believe what he's saying. Or rather, if he does, he too would render himself silent for the sake of pride or whatever other justification he'd give himself. Lex himself is intensely private with anything that matters, after all. ]

[The corner of her mouth curving up is acknowledgement she took the statement with the right amount of seriousness. He gets a semi-serious answer in response anyway.]

Safety. Other people's good opinion of you.

[personal profile] nativized 2024-11-01 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Can a good opinion matter too much in a realm with so little stakes as this one? ... Present circumstances not included, of course.

[ But it's something he's pondered for months, and if she gives a semi-serious answer, he'll float a semi-serious response. After all, none of them are from here. Few have their betters here. Resources are plentiful. Most don't have their enemies here... ]

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2024-11-02 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
Here? Not so much, I suppose. [It's semi-serious. She appreciates the more relaxed atmosphere, though.]

In Edo, reputation meant a very great deal. [Her whole family fell apart due to threats to it. But she's not going to get into heavy topics here.] I suppose old habits die hard.

You don't need to sell me on that, I lived and died on reputation. Though I at least had the benefit of it being reputation by deed, rather than station or breeding.

[ Though that's mostly because he didn't ... have. Anything of either of those. ]
therewerefifty: (huh.  whaddaya know.)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2024-11-04 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
Reputation by deed also counts for a great deal in my home. [Pause.] If you are a man.

... Ah, yeah.

[ That wasn't as much of an issue in the west or the east, where's he's spent most of his time. Well, no, it's not an issue in his social circles. The lives of noble daughters are extremely restricted due to their value. ]
