Notes

• February 2014's item of the month from Mr. Store.

Its in-store description: Lets you carry one of your familiars on your back!

• This item lets you place familiars in it. Doing so gives the bjorn an enchantment, as well as having an in-combat effect.
• After each combat, the familiar will gain 1 Experience (if it can):

  <Name> surveys the scene from your back, and gains 1 Experience.

• If it is full weight or cannot gain experience (such as a Stocking Mimic), it will instead produce:

  <Name> surveys the scene from your back and sighs.

• Because a bjornified familiar is not truly in your familiar slot, effects that increase familiar experience do not affect those in the bjorn. Despite this, familiars still cannot be bjornified if you are an Avatar of Boris or Jarlsberg. They also cannot be bjornified if the familiar has a B in it's name and you're in a Bees Hate You path. If you're a Zombie Slayer, only undead familiars can be bjornified.
  • However, it is possible to take familiars underwater in the Bjorn, even if they are not capable of breathing underwater.
• Having this item and a Crown of Thrones equipped (with familiars in both) at the same time causes both familiars to only have a 50% chance per combat to act and gain experience. This means that some combats, only 1 will act and gain experience, sometimes both will act and gain, and sometimes neither will act nor gain. This produces messages at the start of combat (sometimes; if there is no message, then only 1 familiar acts and gains experience):
  • Both familiars act and gain experience
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> both roll for initiative. Then they realize they can just go ahead and do stuff without rolling.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> count down, "3, 2, 1!!!" and leap into action.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> do rock, paper, scissors to see who should go first.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> do some crazy secret handshake before leaping into action.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> fist bump, blow it up, and get ready to do stuff.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> high five each other behind your head.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> say, "wonder familiars, unite!" and get ready for action.
    • <Crown Name> says, "are you ready to rock?" and <Bjorn Name> responds, "I was born ready!"
    • <Crown Name> says, "let's kick the tires..." and <Bjorn Name> responds, "and light the fires!"
    • <Crown Name> says, "warm it up, <Bjorn Name>," and <Bjorn Name> responds, "I'm about to.'^[sic]?
  • Neither familiar acts nor gains experience
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> are busy weaving a Cat's Cradle between them and don't act this fight.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> are engrossed in their re-enactment of the "Who's on First" routine.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> are practicing lines for their interpretation of Waiting for Godot, so they don't act this fight.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> argue about whose turn it is to act.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> both roll for initiative and both roll ones.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> do rock-paper-scissors to see whose turn it is, but they both keep throwing rock.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> glance up from their game of Canasta, then back down without acting.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> glare at each other jealously.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> ignore you and continue arguing about whether Jarlsberg or Boris would win in a fight.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> ignore you and continue arguing about whether the Naughty Sorceress could beat Krakrox in a fight.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> ignore you and continue discussing their conspiracy theory that Rene C. Corman is still alive and hiding in Degrassi Knoll.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> ignore you and swap recipes for ghuol-egg quiche.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> look up from a game of War, notice each of them still has roughly half the deck, and get back to it.
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> say "after you." "No, after you." "No, after YOU."
    • <Crown Name> and <Bjorn Name> work on their comedy duo act instead of helping you out this time.
• If you have a familiar in your Crown of Thrones and you try to place it in your bjorn, you'll get this message instead:

  That familiar is already busy in some other gear.

• This item has an [alter enbackment] link when it is equipped. Clicking it redirects you to your terrarium, where all the links to place and kick them in or out of the bjorn are automatically highlighted without needing to hover over them.
• Having this item equipped adds a [put in Buddy Bjorn] link to each and every familiar in your terrarium, unless it's already in the bjorn, in which case the link is [kick out of Buddy Bjorn].
• Placing a familiar in your bjorn silently kicks out your old one (if you had one) and produces this message:

  Your <Familiar Type>, <Familiar Name>, is now safely in your Buddy Bjorn.

• Having a familiar in your bjorn adds a line to your terrarium:

  In Your Buddy Bjorn: Mosquito [kick out]

• Kicking a familiar out of your bjorn produces the message:

  Buddy Bjorn emptied.

• Trying to place a familiar in the bjorn that you don't have or doesn't exist produces:

  You don't have that familiar.

• Trying to place a familiar in the bjorn if you don't have it equipped:

  You're not wearing a Buddy Bjorn.
