PANDORA'S FOX III

The application Pandora's Fox, last seen buzzing on everyone's relics in October, is back. It's about finding your Familiar bond or perhaps other kinds of bonds. It could be the start to finding your soul mate, a new family member, or other kind of someone special. The point is connection. While it's always available, it's gotten loud again.

As part of its return, the app has been rejiggered with questions old 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 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!

Bonds come in all different shapes and sizes, so find the right person for you!

This is game canon!

Forms for your characters!

Ah. Well, I would be no good in a fight, so that is probably a factor as well.

It was my duty to do so.

I see. Would you care to be useful in a fight?

Duty and desire are different things.

No, certainly not.

...Yes, that is true. There have been times it was duty and desire both to serve the realm, and times those two tracks... dovetailed, some. On the occasions I feel I was truly able to make some difference to people's lives, small or otherwise, I do take pleasure in having been able to achieve that, but there were also times the cost of service was bitter, and times of failure.

Such conviction.

As is the case in all terms of service, I fear. I wonder, then, at the difference between us, that you would be dubbed "Familiar" and I "Legend". Both of us are motivated by duty.

[He has a theory, but he's not sure how much of that long and arduous story he wants to recount in text and in so impersonal of a medium.]

Let me posit this instead: for all your dedication to duty, if those to whom you'd sworn loyalty proved themselves unworthy of the faith of the people they served, would you maintain your loyalty because it is your duty, or would you take what actions you might to spare the people their failure?

I have... had cause to draw blood from someone else once, in my life. I would prefer not to repeat the experience, I regret that it happened at all.

[That... is a good question, and her reply takes a few moments (and causes a little bit of a guilty spiral).]

I would like to display as much conviction in my reply to this, but I am afraid if I am honest that it depends. I think, and I would hope I am correct, that if it were a matter of members of the King's Council being proved unworthy, I would consider my duty to the people the Council serves above my duty to those members. My duty as a mother, though, I have placed above my duty to the people, selfish as that may be.

As you say.

[War seldom gives one the comfort of choice.]

I believe we may have found the difference. Who but I could have stood between the people and the corruption that had taken root in my brother? And so I did.

And you would do the same again?

That would depend, to be honest. If I could not foresee the consequences of action a second time, yes. I would. Were I to know what would transpire? No. The lives were not worth it.

I would choose differently about a number of things myself, if I had known where those decisions would lead. It can be quite a burden to live with, hindsight.

It can, but it can also serve to reaffirm your certainty.

That is true. I only wish that had been the more common occurrence, in my experience.

The past is a trap, and recounting it will not change its outcome. The future is not yet written, though. One can always do things differently.

You are correct. In my time in Folkmore so far, I have been doing things very differently. I do not know if it makes any substantial difference for anyone else, except perhaps my daughter, but I feel better about the sum of my choices.

That is all any can ask, and the truest form of change is the one made for oneself, not for the approval of others.

Not for the approval of others, perhaps, but I think sometimes changes made for the benefit of others can be equally true.

If perhaps a bit harder to stick to.
