Pandora's Fox III
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!

[ It would also get crowded if she included all their friends and family, then those people's friends and family. They'd wind up like at Amrita again, and as much fun as that was, she knows people have more fun now. ]
Oh wow, you've really done a lot. What was your book about? Why did you write it? Can I read it?
no subject
I don't think it's here, so I can't give it to you, unfortunately. Anyway, I hadn't decided whether or not to share it with the public yet. I can describe it though. Back home Sorey and I grew up reading the Shepherd's journal, known as the Celestial Record. His adventures were impressive and inspiring for us, and we always longed to go on a journey like that. It's easy for things to look exciting and shiny in a book read by a child, though. It was very idealistic.
When the two of us went on our own journey, it was full of hardships, too. Not all good or bad, but it was painful and complicated as much as joyful. I wrote a book about our journey, and I didn't mince words. If it inspires children to go adventuring in the future, they should know how difficult it is.
no subject
It's a book! Since you know it exists, that means you can find it on your relic if you look for it. Any book you know about is available there. Even knowing of a book gives you access. Of course, we still need the libraries to find books we DON'T know about.
That sounds like a perfect book for me to read. I am early on in my adventures, so if you think a teenager should know about it, that's me. I'm your audience! You don't have to share, though. I've already chosen to go on adventures, and I'm sure they'll be full of hardships. So I doubt I'll turn back.
no subject
[How familiar... this had been Mayvin's test to them, all those years ago, and many more tests before to gauge the power of the Shepherd. How can you risk your life for the world if you can't risk your life for the power to save it?]
I suppose I'll look into it. I don't have to decide immediately if I want to share it. [Secretly, he's shy about it, oops.] Thank you.
Perhaps you'd like a copy of the Celestial Record, first. It's hard to appreciate one without the context of the other. I'll ask Sorey if he minds me borrowing it to transcribe.
no subject
[ It's all over the news, and Alluka remembers it because the ship is cute. ]
You don't! I know it's a lot to share something you made yourself, and if you do, I will be sure to cherish it as it deserves.
Oh that'd be fun! It'd fit right in with the kind of stuff I read for Histories class. I'd really appreciate you making a copy for me. Histories of other worlds can be as fantastic as a novel.
no subject
I do like the sound of a whale ship. It sounds fascinating.
Alright, I'll get to work on it, once he says yes. [Because he absolutely will.] It'll be easy to find the time, I can transcribe it while he's sleeping.
no subject
It even has a little ship floating in a pool on its back. I think that's where the VVVVVVIPs are staying, like the king and his family.
Oh thank— wait, don't you need to sleep? Or rest? You're awake all the time?
[ That sounds both terrifying and amazing. Both! Imagine having no breaks. You'd get so much more done, but also she likes her dreams and her bed. It'd feel silly to lie down in her bed if she couldn't even take a nap. ]
no subject
Does that mean average people can't ride there?
I can sleep if I want to, but I don't need to. It's convenient when I have work to do.
no subject
No, according to the news, there are different levels to the ship, and people usually stick to their level. I guess those levels are like mini-countries.
Oh, how often do you choose to sleep?
no subject
I used to sleep once every few weeks or so. One time I went a month, I was very busy. These days I sleep almost every night, though. If I'm traveling or living with someone who sleeps every day, I prefer to follow their schedule.
no subject
A whole month. Wow. I cannot imagine that. That sounds exhausting, mentally if not physically. Sharing a sleep schedule, when you don't have to, sounds very sweet. I like that.
[ It also touches Alluka that Mikleo chose to work on copying that book for her when Sorey's asleep given that means he's changing his habits just to help her. He doesn't have to, but he offered, so she doesn't ask him to take it back. That'd be rude. ]
no subject
[And several of those rules were broken by friends of his, in truth. It mostly caused trouble for themselves, not anyone else.]
It's harder to do the same thing every day, all day. We have minds that can grow idle as anyone else's if we get bored of what we're working on. It's good practice to take breaks from research, to stretch and look at something else for a while, clear our heads. The only difference is we don't get physically exhausted to the point of needing sleep. At least in normal circumstances.
[There was that time after the dragon fight where they were all so exhausted they passed the heck out...]
no subject
[ She never left home before the age of twelve. A lot later than most people, she knows, since she means home at all home. Like, not to school or library or anything. She's well made up for it in the couple years since then. Folkmore's a whole series of adventures. ]
Even the most fun things get boring in enough time! That's why variety is the spice of life. I'm used to having a routine, but even my routine has room in it for whatever catches my attention at a time, along with doing my homework and spending time with friends and family. You sound like you've really figured it out. I guess it only takes messing around so many times to find what works for you.
I like sleeping personally. My bed is super comfy, and dreams are always big adventures with their own rules and logic.
no subject
[Since most live in isolation, who would you possibly offend by doing whatever you please? It's sort of one of the perks of being a seraph. No tethers, no rules, no limits, just courtesy. Maybe things will change as resonance grows, and more people are able to see them.]
You might find it funny, but there are many seraphim who do the same thing for decades, even centuries, without getting bored at all. Time passes differently for us. Some can find a place to sit, get comfortable, and not even realize they've been sitting there for hundreds of years.
Sleeping is nice, though, I agree. I don't dream much, but I like waking up refreshed.
no subject
I can read a book for hours. Maybe it's a difference of time scale. I'll only live to be a hundred or maybe a hundred and fifty. Great-grandpa is really old, but he's still young compared to seraphim! So maybe my reading a book for hours is like them meditating for a few centuries. Seems like you'd miss out on a lot, but you could say that about my reading!
What's it like to sleep without dreaming? Do you have a sense of time having passed or is it like, down and up just perkier on the far side?
no subject
You're on the right track, yes. Even though time passes at literally the same rate, the scale and percentage of one's life is so different, it can feel less necessary to count minutes or hours.
It may vary from person to person, even for seraphim. For me, I don't really notice a time shift. I wake up after a certain amount of time, and I start over at whatever I was doing before with a little more energy and a clearer head. When you're hard at work on something, time away can make a big difference in your progress.
no subject
What's it like for you being here in Folkmore, where there's trials and things that happen? Do you miss some of them on accident because you're busy doing things?
Huh. That's interesting and amazing to pick up right where you were. I always need time to really wake up in the morning. My bed is so cozy I don't want to get up even though I know I want to get up (though would it kill school to start an hour later?)
no subject
I haven't evaded all trials or strange circumstances, but I've had a few pass me by. I'm not entirely unaware, however. I have Sorey to look after. Some are more forgiving than others when it comes to non-participation.
I have to confess, there are days where I pretend to sleep a little longer because the bed is cozy, too. That feeling may be universal.
no subject
Not everyone has to do all of them, which is good I think. Sometimes people need a break. Sometimes they really need that specific trial. Have you been punished for not doing a trial? I don't think I have, but I generally run right into them for the adventure.
That's good. It's a good feeling everyone should get to experience. All the better with a plushie or a friend to hug too.
no subject
I've not been punished for missing trials, unless a lack of reward counts. I suppose it means I'm no closer to my potential, however she might define that, but I'm in no hurry.
no subject
Some of the rewards are good, and I'm glad to have them. Even if they aren't useful to me, I can always share them with friends. I'm not worried about achieving my potential too quickly. I'm so young I have to have near endless potential.
no subject
It's true, you're quite young for a human. You have at least, what, eighty or ninety years or so? Even if it's a very short time, you don't have to rush it.
no subject
I am. I'm not in a rush, but getting older has its advantages. There's more Star Children near my age, I think. Or will be. So many of the teenagers have gone home, including friends of mine, which makes little sense to me. Surely they still have potential. Also, I'll have you know my family lives very long lives. My great-grandfather is still alive and working!
no subject
It is strange, how people seem to come and go at random in this place. I have a feeling Thirteen either lacks the control she claims, or she likes to keep her messaging inconsistent for some unknown reason. Regardless, I'm sorry for your lost friends. You should meet Sorey if you haven't already. He's still young, and he'd like you.
no subject
I don't understand it, but whether Thirteen is being honest or not, she's definitely keeping a lot of information to herself. Only tells us what she thinks we need to know. Thank you, I miss them and will hold them dear in my heart even if we never see each other again. Oh, I will come meet him! How young is young?
