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!

Maybe someday I'll give Kuma Lisa a try. Just to see what "normal" means for a human.

And that sounds wonderful! I envy you a little. I haven't seen my siblings for a long time now...

[She hasn't exactly cemented any siblings in Folkmore just yet.]

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply your school wasn't normal. I'm sure it's very witch normal!

It is wonderful. I make sure to see my siblings all the time if I can. They're the most important part of Folkmore to me. Them and friends. The only things you really need in life!

No need to apologize, I'm not bothered! I'm just curious about what the differences are.

I like how you think, Alluka. I'm glad you have so many people supporting you.

Okay. I'm curious too! In another year or so, I might be ready to specialize myself, but I'm not entirely sure what I'd want to specialize in.

And I support them. Including you!

I'm honoured to be included! I hope I support you too.

[Hmm. Specialization, huh.]

Let's see. What sort of things interest you? What do you think you're good at?

You do. It's so awesome being friends.

Ooooh. Okay. I really like stories, whether they're in books or movies or tv shows. I like helping people. I'm pretty decent at history? Not necessarily the memorizing part but understanding why things happened like they did.(I'm decent at that with people, but in real life in real time you have a lot less information to go on so it's harder).

I'm glad!

If you enjoy stories and helping, why not write positive fiction? Most people love a good story, something with a nice moral at the end or a lesson to be learned. A tale of heroes! Good triumphing over evil! Being good at history will help you keep your details straight, too.

Not all stories need a happy ending, but I prefer them. I don't think I'd ever want to write a story with a super sad depressing ending. Life can be depressing, but it doesn't have to be! Just like stories. Oh, this is a great idea. I can totally pay attention in history class for worlds and times that would make a good setting for a story.

[ She's super excited. Stories were some of her closest friends for years. The idea she could make something like that herself is both daunting and inspiring. ]

All of that sounds wonderful. I love so many stories! If you write anything, I hope I can read it one day!

[That excitement is contagious. Amity might be more likely to have different career goals in the long run, but her interest in writing books of her own has been on the backburner for a long time now.]

Oh golly, I'll have to start and write loads of stories. Silly ones. Short ones. Sweet ones. Ones that get sad in the middle. I would be happy to share them with you when I finish one.

What are your favorite kinds of stories? [ Alluka could write a story FOR Amity. ]

I love stories about great heroes battling against dangerous villains. Stories about magic, and monsters, and a little romance. My favourite is the Good Witch Azura series!

[ Alluka nods as she listens. She could totally turn some of Big Brother's adventures into a story like that. Maybe make it about a couple of girls instead of boys, and the girls could fall in love as they save the world! Oh oh, and the villain could be stopped by the power of love and falling in love and no longer being a villain. That seems the best. ]

Oooh, I'll need to get that. I can ask for it now I've heard of it! I love how relics work like that.

And I'll write my own story.

I have the first book of the series. If you'd like to borrow it, I don't mind.

[Which normally might be a hard thing to do, since she loves the series so much, but as Alluka said, it would be easily replaced with a lore purchase... still, there's something special about borrowing a favourite book.]

[ !!! Alluka's face lights up. ]

I've never borrowed a book from a person before! That feels even more special than the library. I promise to take very good care of it and treat it with the utmost respect.

I'm sure you will. I'm not worried.

[Alluka is lighthearted and mostly carefree, but she doesn't strike Amity as careless. It should be fine.]

I'll bring it next time I see you. Keep it as long as you need.

[...Just not too long, it's all she has of the series.]

[ Alluka takes that trust to heart. She will protect this book dearly. It's wonderful to be trusted with something Amity cares about so much. Something from home. ]

Thank you. I'm sure it won't be too long. When you read a book, you get sucked right in, and then it's after midnight and you haven't eaten or drunk or peed in hours and hours.

It's true! [A little crude, yet accurate.] That was how it was the first time I read Azura. I really couldn't put it down, and stayed up well past my bedtime.

Oh, I have done that before. I both do and do not regret it the next day. I mean, when the story is just so good, how are you ever supposed to stop? I go slower, usually, on rereads and pick up all kinds of things. [ No one enforced her bedtime once she was in her room. Alluka learned for herself, mostly. Some books still break through. ]

My parents usually made me regret it. But I'd only refrain until the next book in the series came out. [Adults can be the worst sometimes, controlling children! Huff.] I do enjoy that part of re-reads. Getting to the best parts, spotting things you missed...

What'd they do? Mine didn't do anything. I kept to my schedule because I thought it was important, but I'd usually try to add a nap sometime. Naps are good when I'm that tired. [ She liked her schedule, but Alluka isn't so rigid she wouldn't do anything to break it. Like when people visited? That was the best. The schedule could go out the window then! ]

I've reread almost all my books at least once. Well, at home. Here I read books for literature class, and I don't love all of them, so I don't reread those ones.

They liked to take away things they didn't approve of- things that were "beneath us" as Blights. Books, toys, friends. I'm glad yours weren't like that.

[Things can be somewhat different now that she's older, but in the early days, they could be as controlling as they wanted.]

Maybe there's some books you could recommend for me too? We can do an exchange.

I didn't realize parents would ever do that. That's so mean.

[ Alluka cannot help making a face at that description. Both the idea that parents would take away books or toys or friends and that any of those things would be beneath someone. It makes her appreciate that she got to explore whatever books she wanted and got all the toys she wanted. Friends, well, Big Brother was allowed to visit when he wasn't busy. ]

Oh, I am happy to share books! I've read a lot, so I have a lot of them to share. Oh that's exciting. I've never discussed most of them with people.

Mm. They are mean.

[Well, her mother is. Dad is doing okay. On thin ice, that's all.]

You've never been part of a book club? What about visiting a library back home?

[ Alluka shakes her head. A book club? A library? She's been to libraries here, though there usually aren't that many people in them when she goes. Perhaps it's because there's so few Star Children here. ]

Nuh-uh. I left home for the first time shortly before coming here. I grew up entirely on our estate.

[ Her voice trails off at the end. ]

Mostly in my room.

I see... [How strange, the differences in their upbringing. It seems like Alluka had a supportive family, but was isolated. Amity's family was unpleasant and broken, but she's always been in the public eye. She wonders what she'd be like if she'd lived that kind of life.]

I'm glad you can go out any time you want, now. The world is beautiful, isn't it?
