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!

[zanth]

I'm an owlin. We seem relatively unheard of here.

[But she'll attach a picture of a humanoid owl, with glasses.]

Warranted? Well, far be it for me to question your word... but I suppose our worlds are fairly different, in that case. Where I'm from--if history books are to be believed--that may have been true, but certainly not in my lifetime.

[usestwohands]

I fear I've never heard of you, either.

[ A pause, here, before he continues. ]

They slaughter surface dwellers without hesitation. There is little wonder they fear us like boogeymen.

Then your world is truly blessed. I can hope, one day, mine fairs similarly.

[zanth]

[She's... not really sure what to say to that, to be honest. The whole idea feels far away and hard to believe. History books, sensationalized old movies, fairytale monsters. Though she supposes she knows a little about those.]

Well... if it's anything like our past, perhaps it will.

[A pause.]

I wonder if it... could be our past. [But it's probably just a similar world, like Rue's. Still, odd to consider.]

[usestwohands]

Perhaps it is. What gods do your people worship?

[zanth]

To be honest I'm no expert. Most of the older ones have gone quiet, long since.

[She knows it was around the time planar travel got significantly harder, but none of it is really something she's researched.]

My people specifically had--have Magdalene. But she was always... fairly localized.

[usestwohands]

I see.

[He also does not know about that.]

And were you a worshipper of Magdalene?

[zanth]

[And that gets a slight pause, even if she brought it up herself.]

Not really. I was... not particularly interested in religion. She's a nice enough person as it turns out, though.

[usestwohands]

You've...met your goddess?

[zanth]

I have. It's... a very long story, and I'm afraid we're still figuring out some of the details. Well--were, before I was here.

[usestwohands]

I have time for stories if you have a mind to share it.

[zanth]

I suppose it's not a secret. Just complicated. [Another pause.]

Would you like to meet in person?

[usestwohands]

If you'd like, we can, though I mean not to pry if you would rather not.

[zanth]

No, it's... fine. In fact I probably should tell someone. I just thought it might be easier over drinks or something.

[Hey look, she's attempting to socialise. At least if telling someone your complicated backstory at a bar counts!]

[usestwohands]

[She wishes to confide in him. He understands the struggle to do so. He struggles with the idea of letting people in, himself. The only ones he ever really has forced themselves there, not that he begrudges them it.]

Very well. Over drinks, then.

[zanth]

Sounds good. I'm free tonight or... most nights, really. I teach during the morning.

[At least, when the world is behaving normally.]

[usestwohands]

I teach some nights, but not tonight. I welcome your company.

[zanth]

Lovely. In a couple of hours, then? I live in Thoth, but--wherever works best for you.

[usestwohands]

Yes, a couple hours, then. I shall depart presently.

[zanth]

Sounds good to me.

[And, well, in a couple of hours she can be found holed up in a corner booth at a tavern, sketching what appears to be some kind of mechanical cat absently in a notepad and nursing a drink.

She's trying to figure out the best place to start this story.]

[usestwohands]

[Drizzt really didn't mind Thoth. In some ways, mostly the biting cold, it reminded him of his home on the frozen tundra of Icewind Dale. Even this time of year, the wind was bracing as he made his way to their appointed meeting place, and he slipped inside.

Zanth wasn't hard to spot, and he approached with a friendly if small smile.]

Good evening.

[zanth]

Good evening.

[And her expressions are a touch hard to read given the beak, but she seems cheerful enough in her own right as she sets her notebook down and gestures to the bench across from her.]

Lovely to meet you in person.
