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!

Every person has their own life circumstances, and sometimes those circumstances can make it difficult for an adult to give a child proper nurturing.

[ ... ]

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.

[What a sobering story. She's not sure what to say at first, except:]

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?

Thank you. [ He dislikes receiving sympathy, and in this case it felt misplaced because Cale didn't experience that himself, but he chooses to simply accept the sentiment for what it is. ]

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.

[A perceptive father... must be nice. (Though in fairness, he had noticed how intentional her hair colour was. No one else had recognized the reason she'd chosen it.) It does help her understand what he'd been getting at, though.

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.

It is easy to overthink things, so be sure to take breaks to eat, play, and rest.

[ Speaking of which— ]

Have you been eating properly?
unrival: (011)

[personal profile] unrival 2024-10-28 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy, is she about to get leftovers-]

I've been eating fine. The cooking group has been very accommodating. We even had something of a Boiling Isles picnic recently!

[ Good. He's glad the cooking group has been feeding her well. ]

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. ]

Yes, it was wonderful to just relax and rest with my friends for a while. There's been so much work to do, it's hard to remember to slow down once in a while.

I hope you're doing well, too.

[personal profile] goldenturtle 2024-10-28 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good. You and your friends should do that sort of thing more often. Leave most of the work to the adults and have fun being kids.

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. ]

I can work and play! I've been getting better at balancing the two.

[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.]

The balance for you should be 75% play and 25% work.

[ 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.

Those are lofty expectations! Reverse those numbers, and I'll consider working my way down.

[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.

[personal profile] goldenturtle 2024-10-29 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It isn't an expectation, just a suggestion based on your age and the potential you have. Working too hard when you're so young can limit your growth and burn you out.

It's okay to take your time, Amity.

I know... I want to help, though. The more work we do now, the better chance we have at things going back to normal. There'll be plenty of time to play then.
goldenturtle: (pic#17187456)

this is one of the most hypocritical things he's said and he has no idea 🫠

[personal profile] goldenturtle 2024-10-31 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It's good that you want to help, but what if things continue this way for longer than you expect? What if there is still a lot of work once things return to normal, or things never return to how they were?

You can't guarantee the future. Pace yourself accordingly, balancing work and play, and you can be better prepared for unexpected variables.

[Big oof, there.]

What do you think our chances are? That things will go back to how they were before... it's hard to stay optimistic about it, sometimes.
goldenturtle: (pic#17265044)

[personal profile] goldenturtle 2024-11-01 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Things won't go back to exactly as they were before, but they will go back to the old 'normal' before winter comes. There will probably be a lot more work to do for a few weeks once we're allowed to roam freely again.

It is your decision whether to believe me or not. Regardless of the outcome, my advice will be the same and you can always come to me if you need me.

I promise to keep that in mind. Thank you for your support, really.
