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!

[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.

[fistofvengeance]

So you caught hot gossip about him as it was happening?

[rememoror]

Here and there. Or of his Avatars.

[fistofvengeance]

You met them?

[He's absolutely telling on himself here, that he knows what Avatars even are.]

[rememoror]

I ran across a few, but never got to know them too personally.

[fistofvengeance]

Oh OK. Makes sense. They were probably always busy anyway.

[rememoror]

To be honest, it was more me. I never spent much time getting involved with any humans. Avatars or not.

[fistofvengeance]

Why not? Humans are pretty cool most of the time, and I'm pretty sure they've been dominating the planet with their overbearing presence for thousands of years already.

[rememoror]

I had what I considered to be more important things to focus on. I'm not suggesting I never spoke to any, I've always been rather fond of humans in my own way. Just that I never socialized much.

[fistofvengeance]

So you really lived that full hermit life, huh? Impressive.

Did you socialize with other beings? Like animals or gods?

[rememoror]

I only went full hermit in the last five-hundred years.

I had a companion with me most of the time. Gilgamesh. Outside of that, there were ten of us in total and we reconnected with one another here and there.

[Private]

[fistofvengeance]

[Marc takes a few seconds to mull over what he's about to do, then switches his Relic so the conversation's not open to prying eyes.]

OK, I think I get it.

Anyway, to answer your question, Khonshu probably is like the one you knew of once. I heard he used to be different, a long time ago. Now he's just bitter and violent. Not sure what happened there. My best guess is watching humanity beat itself up for millennia on end got to him. Can't exactly protect the travelers of the night if those travelers are going around hurting each other.

[rememoror]

To be rather upfront and honest, it would seem that's oddly common. For immortals to grow disillusioned with humanity I mean. Many of my own kind did.

Were you one of his chosen then?

[fistofvengeance]

I can't blame you. Humans love making the same mistakes over and over again. Just kinda unfair to give up on them for it. Humanity as a species is horrible, but humans on their own deserve a fair chance.

Yeah, I was. Quit the job just before I got here.

[rememoror]

In the end most of us knew it wouldn't be fair to completely give up on humanity. We fought for you all, if that matters at all. For a chance for you to do better. Or continue making the same mistakes.

Is it too personal to ask why you quit?

[fistofvengeance]

I appreciate it. Can't guarantee we'll do better, but at least the chance is there.

Let's just say the work-life balance wasn't there.

[rememoror]

For what it's worth, I think you're all doing just fine.

I think I may understand what you're trying to imply.

[fistofvengeance]

Really? Even with all the capitalism?

If you've really heard stories about him from his former avatars, then yeah. You probably get it.

[rememoror]

No society has ever been perfect. So, yes, even with all the capitalism.

I also may get it a slightly more personal way.

[fistofvengeance]

Fair, I guess. But kind of a bummer to think not a single society figured out how to make it work.

Oh. Makes sense, your job probably came with pressure too, huh.

[rememoror]

You're not the only one I know to think that. Personally, I try to focus on the things you have managed to make work.

Something like that. Our job encouraged us to not get too involved, some of us took that more seriously than others.

[fistofvengeance]

What kinda stuff do you consider successes? It's probably not the same as what the average human being considers a societal victory, right?

Oof okay yeah. A job that tells you not to interfere when you really want to is probably just as bad as a job that tells you to interfere when you don't want to.
