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!

[....]
Okay, that does make it sound like it's her fault. But I don't blame her for choosing her family.
no subject
Amity, you are a child. She manipulated you, used you, and when you were understandably upset by that she abandoned you.
You were allowed to be angry just as she was allowed to help her sister.
But she chose to be your mentor. She chose to take on that responsibility yet abandoned it as soon as things became difficult. She let you run off and never tried reaching out to you again.
It doesn't matter what was going on with her family. She could have taken time to at least send a message to check on you.
What she did is something you don't fucking do to a child.
no subject
But no one did, and Lilith betrayed her trust, and left her.
Her voice is quiet when she finally responds, hesitant, as if she's struggling to believe in her own words.]
I failed, though. It's what her coven teaches. When something's a failure, you throw it away.
[It's what her family did, too. Prospects, dreams, friends, children. If something's not up to par, just get rid of it or find something better. There's always better options.]
no subject
You are a child and she was supposed to be teaching you. The one who failed was your mentor, not you. So you should be the one throwing her away.
You've grown up well until now, all without the support you needed and deserved from the adults around you. You are already strong and smart, so you will be even more amazing once you're finished growing.
You've done a good job.
no subject
As for those older than her, it's such a short list. Her parents are... well, her parents. Enough said about that. Lilith took what she needed and left. None of her teachers protected her, afraid of the iron hand of Blight Industries or indifferent to her plight. Adults who should have been on her side only cared for themselves, or ignored her.
Here, Rue was kind, Rue encouraged her. Eda was nice in her own way, but she wasn't one for big speeches like this, and Luz was her protege, not Amity. This is...
It's a lot to take in. The idea of "good job" without strings attached.]
...It... wasn't fair. What she did. She made me cheat in front of everyone, and I didn't even know it. I worked so hard! I worked every single day, I did everything right! Everything she asked! And she didn't believe in me at all... she didn't even apologize...
no subject
Yes, you're right. It wasn't fair, Amity. You deserved better than that, and are owed an apology.
no subject
...It... it's okay. In a weird way, she saved my life by leaving me, anyway.
no subject
You are okay. You survived and you aren't alone. You have people who will support you now.
But that doesn't make what happened to you okay. Don't ever think that it does, because you didn't deserve that.
no subject
You don't know what I was like. You don't know what I deserved.

It's the job of adults to let them safely make and learn from those mistakes while feeling cared for and supported.
no subject
Why are so many adults so bad at it, then? Looking back, for so many years it feels like all I ever learned was how to do it wrong.
no subject
[ ... ]
For an example, my mother died when I was eight. My father couldn't bear to look at me for years because I resembled her too much. His grief kept him from being there for me as a child.
[ It feels. weird. To be speaking of the original Cale Henituse's past as if it were his own. But he has inherited this body and its history, so...
At least he knows the original Cale would approve of this. ]
...We've reconciled now and are much closer, but that doesn't make his neglect okay.
no subject
I'm sorry...
[It's not the same as her own story, of course, but it's not so different either. She can sympathize. Her mother's not literally dead but she's lifeless when it comes to affection and care. Her father's neglected her for nearly a decade, focusing on his work and ignoring what was happening to his children entirely. The recent Bonesborough Brawl was the first time they'd really talked in ages. Reconciliation... she can see that taking a long time, too.
And the neglect was not okay. Not for either of them.]
Were you able to tell him how you felt?
no subject
No, I didn't. I didn't need to.
While my father is a little awkward with feelings he is very perceptive. He knew how I felt from my actions.
[ A sigh; softer than he usually sighs. ]
It was a long time ago, and I only brought it up so you could understand what I am saying a bit better.
You're smart, so I'm sure things are a bit clearer for you now.
no subject
Even if an adult starts out bad at it, they can improve... that gives her some hope for the future. Maybe one day she'll have at least one reliable parent.]
Mm... yes. I have some things to think about.
no subject
[ Speaking of which— ]
Have you been eating properly?
no subject
I've been eating fine. The cooking group has been very accommodating. We even had something of a Boiling Isles picnic recently!
no subject
Hmm? A picnic? I'm glad. Did you have fun with everyone?
[ He's also glad she's had the opportunity to indulge in fun things like picnics. ]
no subject
I hope you're doing well, too.
no subject
I'm fine. [ And, knowing Amity is fond of cats, Cale decides to share a bit more: ] I've been working hard babysitting some little brats until their deadbeat mother gets back.
[ He sends her a picture of two mountain lion cubs passed out sleeping in a torn-up blanket on his lap. ]
no subject
[She's no longer a workaholic! It's great. She's doing so good. (Still a bit of a workaholic, but. She's trying.)
And OH NO THEY'RE SO CUTE. She coos.]
They're precious! I hope their mother returns soon. They're too sweet to be left behind.
[She misses Ghost :c :c :c when will her sweet kitty return from the box hell.]
no subject
[ Don't be like him, Amity. Don't be like the man formerly known as the Tenacious Kim Rok Soo.
He keeps the camera aimed at the cubs so the girl can get her fill of them. Even he can admit that they're stupidly cute, albeit a bit scary. ]
She comes back for them after hunting. [ Thankfully. ] With nature in chaos right now she must think it's safer to leave these brats with me for some reason.
[ When they're asleep like this Cale thinks they aren't so bad... He reaches out with his hand to gently rub each of their heads (the state of the hems of his sleeves gives a hint as to just how not-gentle the cubs are when awake), earning a sudden spike of loud purrs.
Cale lets out a small huff as if he finds this whole situation a nuisance, but there's no hiding that underlying fondness. ]
It will be good when things are back to normal and the wildlife can return to living freely.
no subject
[At least let her do 50-50...
She will enjoy the little lion show, though. So cute. No one can begrudge her indulging in this kind of 'play'.]
I agree. It'll be better for all of us. I hope it happens soon... it's starting to feel cramped around here.
