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!

They are called countries for a reason. They control their areas pretty much how they see fit. There's only so many international organizations and laws. Like the stuff with hunters. It may be foolish, but people also don't let others into their homes just because someone knocks. Though I think I would.

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?

I just don't understand human barriers like that. The seraphim have no such rules. To pass from one Lord of the Land's domain into the next is as easy as taking a step forward.

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.

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-05-14 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
What rules do seraphim have about... anything? What isn't it okay for seraphim to do? [ Alluka doesn't know how to explain it, yet, but she figures everyone, every people, have rule about something. At least, expectations. Otherwise it'd be complete chaos. So... that's similar right? Plus she wants to know more. ]

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. ]

Well, there are common courtesy rules when it comes to the Lords of the Land. You shouldn't take offerings left for another seraph unless you have their permission. If one has made a vow in exchange for power, it's considered cruel to push them for information about it. There are rules against steering human astray. Most of this is courtesy, not law. Seraphim are individuals, not a collected society. Many live in isolation and aren't obligated to do anything for anyone.

[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...]
tooawesome: (action; waiting)

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-05-23 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose the big difference between law and courtesy is how they get enforced. Maybe you won't go to jail for taking someone else's offerings, but you might get... scorned socially? If everyone thinks you're being a huge asshole, that's a real consequence in and of itself. Though I guess if you live in isolation,, you don't really have a chance to go against these rules. Sort of like someone who never leaves their house!

[ 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.

[personal profile] tsunergy 2025-05-23 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
There is no jail for seraphim, nor guards to enforce behaviour, hence there are no laws. The Lords of the Land have the authority to grant blessings to the area they look after, but no one is really obligated to obey their rules. We do it out of respect. I guess most of our societal expectations are unspoken. Not that we have much of a 'society', really.

[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.

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-06-02 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
*nod nod* to have laws, you have to enforce them. Otherwise they're just ideas. If it works without laws, perhaps that is even better. Isn't it better someone does something out of respect than because they'll be punished if they don't?

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?
tsunergy: (smile)(calm) (no i won't tell you why)

[personal profile] tsunergy 2025-06-06 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's better, but it depends on the society. Some aren't ready for that kind of leniency, so laws are still needed. Seraphim have been around for a lot longer than humans, and live a lot longer, too. We need less resources to live. It's easier to be patient and not fight when there's less to fight for.

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.

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-06-11 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. I don't think it'd work in my home because people aren't used to it. It'd be like letting a kid loose in a candy store. They'd run wild. Maybe people could get used to it in time, but given my family's been very successful as assassins for generations, there'd still be people killing each other or hiring other people to kill for them. Not that laws have stopped them either (my family at least, probably some of the worse assassins). People need and want a lot where I'm from.

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?)
tsunergy: (smile) (i'm fine i didn't trip)

[personal profile] tsunergy 2025-06-13 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
I think that may be the case no matter where you go. The desires of humans are insatiable. It isn't a good or a bad thing, it just is.

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.
tooawesome: (happy; ^_^)

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-06-16 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's hard to imagine being otherwise. There's so much I want to do and see! And I want to spend time with people I care about and make more friends and... well, what do you want? What is enough for you?

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.

I can't think of anything I've ever wanted more than to explore all the ruins of my world, and to make it so that humans and seraphim can live side by side. Any other goal I worked towards has been to protect or ensure that dream.

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.
tooawesome: (Default)

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-06-21 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's good to have your goals! You could be a Hunter in my world, a ruins hunter, and you'd be able to enter any country in the world to do that work! There aren't seraphim in my world, I don't think, but I'd be happy to explore ruins with you in it should you wind up visiting my home.

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.
tsunergy: (smile) (you're such a nerd)

[personal profile] tsunergy 2025-06-21 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I'd enjoy a job like that. "Ruin Hunter". Most seraphim don't have jobs. Technically speaking, mine is "sub-lord", although I was considered retired before arriving here. And I'd love to visit any ruins on any world, should my path lead me there.

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.
tooawesome: (neutral; talking hand motion)

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-06-24 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
It doesn't automatically pay the way assassin does, but there's lots of ways to make a living as a Hunter. Probably even as a Ruin Hunter. Countries wanting to track down and preserve their history or finding legendary items. Or if you don't need money, do whatever you want! Well, if we wind up on mine, I'll happily show you some. It's part of what I was doing anyway when I came here.

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!
tsunergy: (smile) (but you're not alone)

[personal profile] tsunergy 2025-06-27 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really need money. Food and shelter are optional for seraphim, most of us prefer to sleep outside in nature. And we eat food because it's good, not because we're hungry. Anyway, exploring ruins usually nets us treasure. That's reward enough. You were a ruin hunter before coming to this world as well?

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.
tooawesome: (neutral; talking hand motion)

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-07-02 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow, that really helps with not having people trying to get things. Humans need so much! And beyond our basic needs, we want to have fun and enjoy life. I'd be really sad to go without my plushies and books now that I've collected them back up. I only had one plushie from home when I arrived. And I wasn't a hunter! My brother's one, and we were adventuring together to see the world! Anything exciting and new. Including ruins.

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?
tsunergy: (smile) (well thankfully)

[personal profile] tsunergy 2025-07-05 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
The fun and the enjoying-life parts aren't unique to humans, at least. We seraphim find fulfillment in such things as well. Adventures with a sibling sounds like a great time. Would you want to be a hunter as well?

Sorey is 17. Older, but still with plenty of growing to do. He's got too much youthful energy.
tooawesome: (happy; clap)

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-07-08 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course, I wouldn't assume as much. I just wasn't sure if we'd find enjoyment in the same things. Even humans often don't. I'm still considering what I want to be in time, and I'm not sure hunter is the right fit. You're always supposed to be hunting something, and I believe downtime is good for me. I also, to be honest, don't have some of the skills you need to be a hunter. Or... talent. I could work on skills, if they were worth it, but not talent. Not that I want to work on all the skills. Fighting hasn't ever interested me. I don't want to hurt other people.

That's only a couple years older! Cloooose to my age. Yes, I must meet him!
tsunergy: (smile) (whatever shall i do.)

[personal profile] tsunergy 2025-07-18 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Is there a time limit on deciding that sort of thing? Many humans tend to be in a hurry to get things done due to shorter lifespans, which makes sense. But there are plenty who change their career and dreams well into their middle ages and beyond.

I'll let him know. I'm sure he'd be glad to meet you.
tooawesome: (Default)

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-07-19 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmm, I don't think there's strictly a time limit. My family members all were trained from a really little age to be assassins, and Big Brother already changed careers to be a Hunter. It's possible! I just want to get going. I'm doing all these general studies, and they're good don't get me wrong. I want to do thing! That includes career! Even if I change my mind later, I want to do things now.

Oh yayayay, thank you!
tsunergy: (smile) (shall i help you find something else?)

[personal profile] tsunergy 2025-07-19 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Interesting. Well, I should say "there's no rush", but obviously there's no harm in trying things when you're young, since you can just switch what you do later. So I wish you luck with all of your studies.

You're welcome. I have no doubt it'll do him good, too.


[She has the kind of energy Sorey will like. Plus, he could always use more human friends.]
tooawesome: (Default)

[personal profile] tooawesome 2025-07-23 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
In general there isn't. In Folkmore, we never know when we'll go home, and we might not remember things. So... there's a little bit of a rush. Thank you! You can change things too if you ever decide you want to.
tsunergy: (rayskit1)

[personal profile] tsunergy 2025-07-27 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Very true. Seraphim don't change easily, we're very set in our ways, especially as we get older. But I like how humans change, so maybe one day I'll give it a try.

I appreciate your insight.
