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!

There is a flaw in your thinking, Miss Mitsuko. You already are enough to love. It seems the problem is you must not love yourself enough to believe that?

[ Not that he can say much on that himself. He struggles to understand why anyone cares about someone like him, and why all of his friends and family at home will go to such lengths for him.

He is a bad person, so obviously it must be because all of his friends are good people? Or have naively fallen for his act of being a good person.

Either way: ]

You may also have better luck if you think more about what you want for your future beyond a romantic partner. By putting so much emphasis on a relationship you may feel too overwhelming for someone who may otherwise be a good match for you.

A good partnership has shared hobbies, interests, and goals as well as individual ones.

[ Cale would rather Mitsuko not have her apparent fixation on love be taken advantage of. That could end up with very scary consequences. ]

Edited (phrasing!) 2024-10-19 22:45 (UTC)

Ah? Is that so? [Somehow, despite writing it down and submitting that on the app, Mitsuko did not notice that in the slightest.] You... think I'm enough to love?

Gah... That bastard said the same thing too to me, and I fell for it. [Unfortunately, Cale is missing the incredibly important context where Mitsuko is... well, she's not a bad person but she's very much delusional. Zwijo absolutely did not say the same to Mitsuko.]

I'm quite happy making dango and hanging with any friends I make. I just want a quiet, happy future. Maybe filled with the occasional scare or two.

[Don't worry, Cale. It's so fine. Last time her love asked her to do something, she nearly plunged the town into a city-wide panic, put a child in a coma, and made monsters real. Totally. She only got hit with a block-sized excavator for her trouble.]

Edited 2024-10-21 03:19 (UTC)

Why are you asking something so obvious? [ He clicks his tongue. ] What makes you think you aren't?

Just keep focusing on making dango, hanging with friends, enjoying peaceful times and occasional scares. Being yourself is the best way to find someone deserving of your love.

Oh! Well... I'm not sure! [Mitsuko's usually calm and smooth voice is very high and girly at the moment, partially because of the surprise, partially because she's flattered.] I just... I don't know. There was no reason to think one way or another.

That's what I've been doing so far. And I'll continue doing it... I just thought to try put myself out there... You know.

If there's no reason to think one way or the other then shouldn't you think the better way? Having self-confidence is a trait people find attractive.

It's good to put yourself out there, just be careful not to seem too desperate. It might make someone try to take advantage of your heart, noona.

I suppose not. Just never really thought about it before. Most people don't ask themselves 'am I enough to love?'

Hmph. I'm not desperate. I just think it would be nice, and it's good for people to know I won't tolerate unfaithfulness off the bat.

Noona? What does that mean?

Mm, I know you're not desperate. It's just something good to keep in mind for the future, since people frequently misunderstand things.

Unfaithfulness is intolerable, so it is good that you've made people aware of it.

Hmm. [ Given Mitsuko's name, Cale is pretty sure she would understand this comparison: ] It's the equivalent to 'oneesan'.

[ Since he's already made a connection with this three-metre tall alien woman he may as well play the 'younger brother' role.

'Having someone like her on my side would be useful.'

He's been lacking in companions who can protect his weak self from physical dangers. ]

Of course. Thank you for keeping me in mind then. I appreciate it.

[Oh, how cute! Mitsuko's already drawn to Cale since he seems like a troublesome person but Cale explicitly wanting a friendship (in her eyes) and referring to her so affectionately makes her smile.]

Makes sense. Well, you can call me that all you like, Cale. I'll try live up to the name.

[ If Cale knew what she was thinking he would take offense to seeming like a troublesome person. It's everyone around him who's troublesome, okay?

But since he doesn't know what Mitsuko is thinking, Cale is just happy at the apparent success of his plan. ]

I'm sure you'll do a good job, Noona.

[A person who gets into troublesome situations is just as troublesome! It's the same as being the normal person in a group of weirdos makes you a weirdo.]

Of course, I will. And the first part of that is making sure you eat. You're rail thin. I'm making you some curry next time I see you!

I... guess I am a bit thin?

[ — Ooh! I like this one!
— I do, too! S-sob! You really are too thin, Cale!
— I hope she feeds you lots!

Cale decides to ignore the Glutton and the Crybaby's enthusiasm. ]

I look forward to eating your cooking.
