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!

Fathers? As in plural? Are you human?

text | un: swordsman

[artofrevenge]

Four to be precise. Three now, one's dead. It depends who you ask: human or demon.

[ihadstrings]

Ah, is this one of those 'who's your daddy' kind of situations? Also A+ idea, kill them all. You'll feel better for it.

[artofrevenge]

They killed my mother and tried to kill me shortly after I was born. There was no opportunity to learn which of them fathered me.
They all deserve to die.
I haven't felt better yet, but that doesn't matter.

[ihadstrings]

I pretty much did the opposite. Tried to kill my fathers shortly after I'd been created. And then we just tried killing each other for the rest of the time I was alive.

It'll come. Sounds like they're all assholes who deserve it.

[artofrevenge]

Guess you were created with the ability to kill back.
Takes longer when you have to grow up.

They deserve it. I don't care about whether it feels good. I care that it's done.

[ihadstrings]

I was created with a fully formed consciousness, yeah. Makes it easy to just immediately start putting plans into action.

Then I hope you get to see all that through to the end someday. I didn't get that chance.

[artofrevenge]

A fully capable body as well, it would seem. Having a fully formed consciousness wouldn't do you much good in the body of a babe.

I'm here to find useful information to achieve that end. You died?

[ihadstrings]

That I had to build. The first body I got into was basically falling apart. Not that I ever meant it to be longterm. It was more to prove a point than anything else.

I did. Just before I came here. My last body got destroyed and that was all she wrote.

[artofrevenge]

It stayed together long enough to suit its purpose, then.

We all die.

[ihadstrings]

Now I've got the luxury of creating whatever kind of body I want.

Some sooner than others.

[artofrevenge]

What kind of body do you want? [ She's never considered someone being able to design their own body. What would people do, given the choice? No one can answer as honestly as someone who's done it. As this young... person. ]

You kill others, you put a target on your back. It's how it goes.

[ihadstrings]

I'm not sure. I've always based my designs vaguely off the human form but now I'm starting to think that's a little....limiting. That maybe I should try out some other forms as well. Like based off of animals or something.

Do you know that from personal experience?

[artofrevenge]

There is a wide variety of forms spirits may be found here. When you add in Familiars taking animal forms, it makes sense it would occur to you here. There is an advantage to thumbs.

Yes. Powerful men enjoy hiring others to do their killing for them.

[ihadstrings]

The forms of the spirits have been really good in helping me experiment with new designs. Especially the fluidity with how some of them move.

That's stupid. People should do the job themselves if they're going to do something like kill another person.

[artofrevenge]

Can you imitate the way they move? Bodies work in specific ways.

Killing people is time consuming and risky. The powerful would rather make others do it. It's how they work. Should doesn't come into it.

[ihadstrings]

It's actually easier to imitate other forms when you don't have to follow certain laws that flesh bodies do. Like articulated limbs are supposed to work or accounting for how the lack of muscle fatigue would change the limits a body can have.

Sounds dumb. At least when I decided humanity had to go, I got my own hands dirty.

[artofrevenge]

What is your body made of? It may not be flesh, but it must function. It must have a way to function, in all that means. [ Mizu does not work with metal to make moving parts, but she remembers the display at Thoth's show the year before. The way a swordfather made of metal imitated the work he would in life. It's how she imagines this person she speaks to, but she knows her knowledge has limits. This information hasn't mattered in her life. ]

That's a large task. However, it still shows you needed to do the work yourself. However powerful you were, you hadn't had it long.

[ihadstrings]

Different metals mostly. Plus some extra components to make it all run smoothly.

It was a large task. I was mad I hadn't completed it at the time but by now I'm having second thoughts on the whole "wipe out all of humanity at once" plan.

[artofrevenge]

I work with metal, but my work doesn't need to move independently on its own afterward. I'm curious how you tick.

What thoughts would those be? [ Mizu doesn't have particularly strong feelings on the good of humanity as a whole. She'd object to him killing swordfather or her. She's horrified she killed so many people in Edo, through the fire she started. Yet she gets it, that rejection. That feeling. Her revenge, however, is more limited in scope. Doable. ]

[ihadstrings]

I'd be happy to show you some of how it works sometime. Not all my secrets though. [He laughed.] I like to keep some of that to myself. I've got a workshop out near the edges of Cruel Summer if you ever want to come by.

Someone else gave me a different sort of plan here. Take my time since I don't have to worry about dying of old age, destabilize the world, and wipe out almost all of humanity but save a select number of children that are too young to know anything but what I teach them growing up. So they'll end up better than their predecessors. It seems like a solid plan.

[This was what Ultron got for listening to Sephiroth's ideas.]

[artofrevenge]

Anyone who says they're sharing all their secrets is lying. Which edge of Cruel Summer? Is it near the train station?

[ Mizu reads the plan and regardless of morality finds it incredibly stupid. Impressively stupid. ]

If you're seriously considering that plan, do some research into raising children. It's not as easy as you might think.

[ihadstrings]

The other side. I put it out as close to the desert as possible so that if I'm working with something nuclear and it melts down, it won't kill too many people.

I plan to! After all, I've got plenty of time. It's not like I'm gonna head back to my world anytime soon.

[artofrevenge]

[ The word nuclear translates, as it should, but Mizu only understands it is a form of power, not what atomic power is. The context is clear enough that it can kill people in a fairly large area. It leaves her intrigued, concerned, and curious. What would the fox spirit allow or do if that happened? ]

Inconvenient to visit, but if you fuck up, I'm sure people will appreciate not dying.

Even if you do, your plan is to take your time. You can learn more where there are, presumably, more children. Folkmore is lacking.

[ihadstrings]

I thought it was pretty courteous of me.

[Was he being sarcastic? It was hard to tell.]

Yeah, I noticed that. Why are there so few kids around here?
