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!

You can just not gender?
no subject
[It's not really the first time it's been questioned but with the pronouns Tav usually uses it doesn't come up much.]
I've felt like this since I was little.
no subject
[Quill was not expecting his entire worldview to shift today!]
I thought mortals couldn't. That it was just a Fae thing.
no subject
[Something something fey ancestry.]
no subject
No one ever implied that elves or half-elves were different than other mortals in any sense. Not really, anyways.
no subject
[So... maybe?]
But if I'm remembering right, that was twenty five thousand years ago. Guess things have changed since then.
no subject
[Quill considers it with a curious hum. He should've just not commented at all, but something about this is Very Important to his little bunny brain.]
That long on the Material Plane for other elves would change things I suppose.
no subject
I've met plenty of humans, and people of other races, presenting as a different gender to their sex. Or just rejecting it entirely.
[He lets out a little laugh.]
I use male pronouns still, but nonbinary ones work just as well.
no subject
[It's interesting...
Academically, of course. It could never be anything more than that for him.
He couldn't allow it.]
How would you even know?
[This is all just curiosity about a new concept. That's it. Quill doesn't sound slightly shaken in some way, like one might just before their very first performance.]
no subject
[And it had been very confusing, truth be told!]
I figured it out when I was a teenager. Once I found out there were words for how I was feeling.
no subject
[And it sounds like the sort of thing that requires self reflection and a sense of oneself that Quill doesn't, can't allow himself to have.
He has to be Quill, not...
Gods, did he even know who he'd be otherwise anymore?]
It must have been a relief, yes? To know for sure what was going on.
no subject
[A shrug.]
My parents were pretty cool about it, too.
no subject
[And we're not talking about the sudden icy wash of absolute envy that hits Quill at the almost off-hand addition of the idea of supportive parents in the picture. It was common enough and easily shrugged off by this point.]
I... can only imagine that's not always the case?
no subject
[Which he understands, he supposes, but not enough to think it should be a permanent issue.]
Awful thing to reject your own kid because they didn't turn out how you expected.
no subject
[This is not a lightbulb moment that Quill ever imagined, nor is it one he much cares for.]
Does that mean that sometimes they'd abandon them? Or give them away? If they knew something was off, I mean?
no subject
Sometimes. But it's not always the gender thing, you know? Sometimes people have kids wanting them to turn out a certain way, then they don't, and it's like a fuckin'... personal affront or something. 'Cause they can't see children as something other than an extension of themselves.
[And he's glad his parents weren't like that.]
I was a screw up of a kid. But... my mom loved me until she died.
no subject
[Quill absolutely botching his Keep Shit Together rolls right now, voice going a little higher and more agitated.]
How can a mother look at their child, a literal infant and decide that they're not enough-
no subject
[Ah, but he realises that he's hit a sore spot that he didn't know existed. That high charisma stat comes in handy.]
... You okay?
no subject
I'm fine.
[That +7 to deception doesn't mean shit when you only roll a 2.]
no subject
He's not buying it.]
We don't know each other so... tell me to back off if you want, but you don't sound fine.
no subject
There's nothing to be done for it here.
no subject
[Look, he knows when to not pry.]
What's your name?
no subject
I go by Quill.
no subject
['Goes by' Quill. Tav will remember that.]
Most people just call me Tav.
no subject
Well, likewise then Tav. Sorry to just... interrogate you out of the blue, I'd just never really heard of this all being something non-Fae could do.
