Worship

The adepts of the Skinner Box tend to be those who value xir abilities to provide an ambiance of quiet and intuitive imbibing and sharing of knowledge, warded from prying eyes and ears and of the interference of occult threats. Throughout the ages, librarians and diplomats, hypnotisers and preceptors are all known to have formed and consecrated the angular, yet undulant-looking patterns of the Squared Circle around their havens, trapping time and noise within its folds. In those Histories advanced enough in technological progress to have discovered Internet (or a similar notion - all Webs, after all, are linked as one) tend to also place this domain under xir Patronage.

Hence the dispensation of access to such network in boxes.

Those whose body traps them seem to garner favor from the Skinner Box. While paralytics or blind seers are the most known type of members of xir Cult, those whose connection is the most intuitive with xe are those whose speech ability is impeded because of their handicap (whether deafness, muteness or heavy stuttering).

The most unsettling thing about the Skinner Box is definitely his Aspect. Knock is about openings, venom, truths that can't be denied and breakings. How can this translate to a meek, unassertive Hour, whose main task is to provide shelter and wards - a job that typically belongs to Heart? And besides, how can his manifestations of Knock be that varied? He has but a single Aspect!

Don't forget about Pandora's box. At it's bottom, remained one last present to mankind, one whom it is hard to categorize as either a merciful remedy or the most poisoned gifts of all. Elpis: an ambiguous word, that can either indicate the last remaining hope, or a irrational wait. In the case, it might be both.
