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!

MARC SPECTOR
40 | M | Familiar

[All of the form has been filled out for him:] Hails from Chicago, former US Marine, former mercenary. Owns way too many weapons. Don't ask about Khonshu, the Egyptian god of the night sky.

My home in Folkmore is: Epiphany.

I live with: Steven Grant.

I've personalized it by: Hiding knives everywhere.

I chose this home because: My wife and brother wanted it, but Layla's gone now so it hurts to be here.

If I could bring one person to Folkmore, it would be: My wife.

Folkmore would be so much better if: My wife were still here.

Every day, I make sure to: Force myself to keep on living.

I disagree I should be a Familiar because: I still think it should've been Myth.

If I became a Myth or Legend, I would be: Conflicted anyway because nothing's ever going to feel comfortable.

The most Familiar-like iteration of Thirteen is: I don't know, I barely know their names and I refuse to get to know them better.

I am proud that Familiars: Have the coolest power. Being an animal is much better than being a person expected to participate in society.

Reasons I would form another bond: Doing it by accident probably.

What I want from a bond: I would vocally protest every step of the way but secretly like the companionship that comes with a bond anyway.

My dealbreakers are: None, I have no standards.

[scalesbalance]

[ Oh.

Well.

Should he text this? Maybe that's a little impersonal. Maybe it should be. Is he concerned? Can't be-- that would be just plain wrong.]

Marc.

I'm sorry to hear about Layla.

Text | UN: Marc

[fistofvengeance]

[Marc is unaware, for the longest time, that 'his' original message was even posted. He isn't exactly paying attention to his Relic right now, so there was no way for him to know another bullshit application has been acting up. What he does realize a few hours later is that he has replies to something.

... Damn it all.

He responds with text, because he doesn't trust his voice not to sound abrasive.]

Why? Did you even like her?

Just so you know, I didn't post this thing. Apparently taking some time off from my relic means Thirteen gets to take creative liberties and put words in my mouth.

audio

[scalesbalance]

Yeah. I did, actually.

[ He doesn't bother switching over to text because he's already got the settings switched... and maybe a small part of him still reacts in a petty way when Marc has an attitude. ]

You've been here long enough, you should know how it works. Isolating yourself doesn't help.

[fistofvengeance]

[Marc still doesn't fully know whether he can take Harrow's word for it, but he does at least give him more benefit of the doubt than he would've at the start.]

Did you tell her that?

Blabbing to people about my personal business doesn't help either. The fox has got no respect for boundaries.

[scalesbalance]

[ This feels stupid. He's watching Marc's text appear and furrowing his brow as he tries to decipher it-- at least this isn't video. ]

No. She probably would have punched me in the face.

[ Maybe the jackal had. It's a bit hazy but not really relevant.

He's not going to force Marc to speak out loud but he will keep talking. The man could probably stand some human interaction. ]

Maybe she's encouraging you to be more open about your situation. Nobody benefits when someone suffers in silence.

text | un: incendiary

[fogsong]

Khonshu, huh? I've only heard one person talk about this ancient Egyptian god before.

What do you know about Khonshu, Marc?

[Private]

[fistofvengeance]

[... Well. This was bound to happen eventually. Marc sure wishes he could've been the one to make this decision, but Thirteen probably thinks he's been waiting too long or some bullshit.

He's still going to slap a private filter on this, though.]

I know too much about Khonshu. Plenty of personal experience. But I guess you figured that out already.

(I didn't fill out that thing you replied to, but I'm not gonna act like the Khonshu thing is a lie.)

[Private]

[fogsong]

Not hard to figure it out when Thirteen puts you on blast like that. Feels kinda shitty to learn it this way.

Why bother with the whole Moon Man bullshit? [ she's angy ]

[Private]

[fistofvengeance]

It IS shitty. Sorry.

You mean the first time? Or over here?

[Private]

[fogsong]

Over here.

text @thena

[rememoror]

I'm sorry to hear of your loss here. It's never easy.

What would happen if we did ask what you know of Khonshu?

Text | UN: Marc

[fistofvengeance]

Thanks, I guess. I didn't actually fill this thing out myself, but I should've known better than to expect stuff to stay private here.

I guess I'd say it says 'don't ask' for a reason.

[rememoror]

Privacy seems seldom respected here unfortunately.

You did and you don't have to talk about your connection to him if you'd really rather not. I was just curious if he was like the one I knew of once.

[fistofvengeance]

Knew of him how? Like ancient scriptures and hieroglyphs from thousands of years ago, or like 'my best friend's uncle saw him once'?

[rememoror]

More like my kind were around when those hieroglyphs were being written.

Text; un: sharpshooter

[ricochetingbullets]

Honestly, hiding knives everywhere is a very valid way to personalize a place.

[fistofvengeance]

I thought so too. And some aren't even real knives, just to confuse anyone who tries ransacking the place.

[ricochetingbullets]

That's a good idea too. I'll have to remember that one. Though I doubt anyone but me could wield a knife this size effectively enough to do any real damage.

[He sent a photo of a tiny, raindrop-sized knife in the palm of his hand. Actually, the knife even bore a striking resemblance to a raindrop as well.]

[fistofvengeance]

You're kidding. You can do damage with something like that? How? Use enough force to drive it deep enough to hit the carotid artery?

[ricochetingbullets]

Exactly. I'm REALLY good at throwing things.

[Not as impressive in a world like theirs with literal gods and super soldiers and witches able to literally warp reality running around but Dex was proud of his particular talents.]

I also picked up a bunch of them so I could use them for something like a bunch of little flechettes if I wanted to.

text; un: Parkour

[heyunderoos]

The whole animal thing is one of the biggest perks of familiar I feel like. Sure, the wings for a legend are cool, but... seeing my boyfriend turn into a little animal is really funny and cute.

[fistofvengeance]

What can he turn into?

[heyunderoos]

He can turn into a pine marten. I'm not sure if he's tried any other forms, but, I really like the pine marten. He'll sit on my shoulders when I'm cooking.

[fistofvengeance]

OK that is a weirdly specific animal somehow. idek how to explain it. I know familiars can be cats or dogs or birds, but a marten is so OUT there when it comes to species...

I wonder what determines that kinda thing.
