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!

[serendipitously]

She does. She brought me in.

[nativized]

Ah well, I missed seeing it again. If that's the school.

[serendipitously]

I'm sorry. Were you just curious or is there something you want from the school?

[nativized]

You end up apologizing for a lotta thing. [ He said this with a little laugh, but then hums and, ] ... Mmm. Little of both, I suppose. I feel like there's probably something for me there, but I don't know if I'd actually go through with it.

[serendipitously]

Mm, do I? I apologize. [ she tries not to laugh there. Might as well make it a joke ]

Very vague. Why wouldn't you go through with it?

[nativized]

[ .... Mmm. ]

Well... Mostly because - it might confirm something one way or the other which might be better to be kept vague. [ Sigh ] Which is to say, if I can even train in certain forms of magic.

[serendipitously]

I'm tempted to ask why it's better vague. [ which she basically just did. ]

I can't really see any harm in trying to learn if you can here. It might be helpful.

[nativized]

Don't you go appealing to my practical needs, gosh.

[ A beat ]

This body of mine can't process mana, in terms of how it works in the world I cam here from.

[serendipitously]

How dare I really.

I'm assuming that's an essential building block of magic in your world? Maybe it's different here?

[nativized]

Of most disciplines of it, anyway. And it might be, yeah.

[ though he would, to no one's surprise and especially not hers, be almost more resentful of it working here but not there, despite the joy of the attempt and the practical helpfulness. ]

[serendipitously]

Would it really be so awful to find out?

[nativized]

...Mmm, maybe this is just a warped part of my personality, but I do often wonder if there's a comfort to be found in uncertainty.

[serendipitously]

Now that is something I've never heard before. Most seem to have a deeply rooted aversion to not having answers.

[nativized]

People say that, but that's not true all the time. Plenty of people have things they don't want to have the negative answer for! They just leave things uncertain, working on some idea of "hope" or even a delusion they could succeed if they actually tried at something. Some guy saying like "Oh yeah, I could hit that target" and then never tries.

[serendipitously]

People, hmm? I'm not an optimist, but I feel I should say something like if one never tries, they can't get the positive answer either.

[nativized]

Iunno, that seems pretty optimistic to me.

[serendipitously]

Maybe I have the ability to be optimistic for others.

[nativized]

So that's the secret, supportive powers of a Familiar, huh?

[serendipitously]

Maybe it is. I'll admit I haven't figured too much out about it.

[nativized]

I mostly knew it for the animal transformations thing. I barely knew about this bond thing before the app pinged me for this. Like I'd heard of it, but I still don't really get the mechanics.

[serendipitously]

Honestly? Neither do I. It feels like she should offer us some sort of manual.

[nativized]

I think that's technically what the Q/A we got on the way here was for. Or maybe the schools? But I don't know what school would cover this sort of thing.

[serendipitously]

When I first arrived someone told me Baba Yaga.

[nativized]

Oh come on! That's biased against us not banished folks!

[serendipitously]

I could banish you from something if you'd like. Maybe that will work.

Though I have spoken to a few people that teach there. It never came up if they met the full criteria for traversing through Exile but it could be possible the school acts separately?
