MESSAGES

[kingmakereffect]

If you have something to ask the Kingmaker about over the phone, this is where it goes! The Kingmaker will answer the phone as soon as he's available. There isn't an option to leave a message on his voicemail, but the Kingmaker will take your calls at almost any hour of the day.

Your smartphones will only connect to the Kingmaker. There is no option to dial a number, instead it will connect automatically to his phone.

Comments are screened for privacy; no listening in on each other's private conversations without permission, after all.

Comments

[captainobnoxious]

[Yeesh, here we go. At least it's simpler than a radio.]

Say, got a question for you. How long were we out for? Because I had a neck cast on last I remember, and now I just have the worst stitches someone could've done on my arm.

[kingmakereffect]

[Don't worry, the Kingmaker will answer shortly.]

As I said, you weren't out for very long. I'm not sure exactly how long it was.

[...how helpful.]

[neverafters]

Hello? This is His Royal Highness, The King! The King wanted to ask if there were art supplies anywhere.

The King wants to decorate.

[kingmakereffect]

Hello, Conscious. If you want supplies, you can check the storage room. As for decorating... why do you want to do that?

[notjustawriter]

[Gabriel's a writer, but when it comes to trying to talk to people, he prefers face-to-face. Since that's not an option here, he'll go for this strange phone thing.]

This is the Kingmaker, right?

[.......who else would it be, gabriel]

[kingmakereffect]

That's correct. What is it, Resourceful?

tuesday afternoon

[wokeupdead]

[Lynne doesn't work in text messages so the Kingmaker has to deal with her beautiful and loud voice.]

Hey! I have a question for you! [and after a second.] ...Is this working?

[kingmakereffect]

It's working. Hello, Perceiving. What's the question?

[captainobnoxious]

[It is Late tonight on Wednesday, sorry Kingmaker, but your faaaavorite Survivor is calling in again.]

Do you have some free time tomorrow?

[kingmakereffect]

That depends on why you're asking.

[lackinginfaith]

I can't transform.

What did you do.

[someone may have tried singing the elevator door open]

[kingmakereffect]

I didn't do anything to you.

[cherryblooded]

[Ring... ring...]

Is your refrigerator running?

[No one ever said Cherryblod was creative with prank calls.]

[kingmakereffect]

[uhhhh]

I'd certainly hope it is, since your food is in there.

[...]

But that's pretty lame for a prank call, isn't it?

[lackinginfaith]

[siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh]

Look, I'll skip the protocol and just ask you if you have a significant other, because apparently, somebody in here thought this was valuable information to know.

[truth or dare is a thing.....]

[kingmakereffect]

I see truth or dare is going well.

[He sounds sort of amused by that, alright.]

I do not, no. Is that all you needed?

[captainobnoxious]

[Saturday was a nice rest day, time to chew over her anger and settle who she could, but bright and early on Sunday Kingmaker's gonna get a call from his faaaaavorite Survivor. She's trying not to sound too annoyed, but that is Sigrun's mightiest flaw: She can't.

... Exploring other places will be done after this is dealt with.]

Got an hour?

[kingmakereffect]

[Well this sounds like it's going to be A Thing.]

Hello, Boundless. Is there something you wish to discuss?

late Saturday, after the afterparty

[isafraid]

[Hoo boy, this will be a thing, Speedwagon's already sure of that.

Well..... okay. He has never used a phone before. But if there's only one button, then... he conceivably couldn't mess it up... right?]

....Oi! Is the Kingmaker there?

[kingmakereffect]

[You're good, you didn't manage to somehow mess it up!

With that said, the Kingmaker sounds just as awake as ever despite the late hour.]

Yes, I am. What is it, Sensitive?

[uro_cyon]

You going to explain what that dream was about? [ Not at all happy at even the thought of his sister being in danger, even if he thinks of it as just a dream.]

[kingmakereffect]

That's not a very polite way to greet someone.

[He sounds like he's joking, maybe??]

As for the dream, I'm afraid I don't have an explanation for that.

[notjustawriter]

Kingmaker? You around right now?

[kingmakereffect]

I usually am. What is it?

sunday midmorning

[wokeupdead]

Hey, jerkmaker...

[This is the best way to start a call when you have a question. Totally. Despite the rude introduction she doesn't sound all that peppy.]

Could you tell us when you abducted us? Or is that classified as well?

[kingmakereffect]

I can't tell you that. Besides, that would be a lot of different dates and times to keep track of.

[oh my god]

[captainobnoxious]

[Look, late night chats aren't gonna be a thing tonight, but early morning Thursday is a perfect time to ask the most important of questions.]

Listen, Kingmaker, we're friends of a kind, right? I got to ask you a question that's been bothering me.

[Because this is the best way to start out a conversation. It's a stupid question, promise.]

[kingmakereffect]

I don't know if I'd say we're friends, but go on. I'm listening.

[garudynamic]

[Don't worry mods, I won't legit try and transcribe this mess. Imagination is better anyways]

[kingmakereffect]

[...well that sure is a thing, isn't it.]

Are you having a bad day, Meteoric?

[bloodisthicker]

[The last thing Tarrlok wants to do is stop giving the Kingmaker the cold shoulder, but time is running out before someone arbitrarily dies because the Kingmaker's getting bored or some shit. So... to save face, he calls before leaving his room for breakfast in the morning. He considered texting, but like hell he was going to figure that out for the sake of dealing this shithead.

...he also turns the shower to full blast and leaves it running because he's amazingly petty.]

So, Kingmaker, I'm going to guess that the one person that literally everyone here is perfectly fine with tossing in front of the wagon isn't actually an option for the sacrifice, is he?

...if you can't handle vagueness being thrown back in your face, I'm talking about you.

[kingmakereffect]

Of course not. I'm surprised you bothered asking. Was that your only question or are you leading into something else?

[this fuckin' guy]

[captainobnoxious]

Hope you didn't miss me too much.

[But of course he did, why wouldn't he. He put her by name into his (dis)likes.]

I'm gonna ask you a series of personal questions, kinda like a survey, but I won't tell anyone your answers. Promise! I swear on my honor as an Eide!

[kingmakereffect]

Hello, Boundless. It's been awhile.

[Well, he doesn't sound terse like he did at the trial, so that's... good??]

I suppose I've got nothing better to do. I might not answer them all, you know.

[garudynamic]

[he had tried to sleep again after the meeting, with no luck. So instead he had glared at the rules for killing Taichi- when something pings him]

So it says on those damn rules that we can "engage" you if you allow it. Is that true?

[kingmakereffect]

Depends. Why do you want to know?

[captainobnoxious]

[It's been long enough to account for people's requests. The envelope has been seen and kept beside her, unopened as of yet, so. You know. There'll be time for that later. when i figure out what it is]

Guess who's got some questions for you!

[Mettaton's own about if he'd been picked off randomly last week, if the Kingmaker wouldn't be such a bad guy then, has remained in her mind, but... It's whatever. Feelings are things which aren't important.]

[kingmakereffect]

Hello, Boundless. What sort of questions do you have today?

[garudynamic]

You told me to call back once I was sober. Well, here I am.

[kingmakereffect]

Hello, Meteoric. Have you calmed down some since we last spoke?

[bloodisthicker]

[you know. you fucking know, let's just lock ourselves in our room and yell at a guy]

Hey, Kingmaker, you know what else is rude? Making up nonsensical garbage about people's dead siblings.

[kingmakereffect]

[ooooooh someone's maaaaaad]

I didn't make anything up. You probably won't believe me though.

[captainobnoxious]

[... So, you know, obviously before the murder.]

Are these things written in those envelopes true?

[kingmakereffect]

Would I lie to you about something like this?

[captainobnoxious]

Soooooooooooooo.

[This sounds like it's gonna be fun already.]

Can I ask about your friend yet again? I won't ask what happened between you or nothing like that, but you're seriously doing nothing to stop my curiosity.

[kingmakereffect]

No. It's not important.

[...well okay then.]

Do you have requests from the others today as well?

after the klaxons go off

[notjustawriter]

......Don't you usually give an announcement after the alarms go off?

[You thought you were rid of him, didn't you. You were wrong.]

[kingmakereffect]

Only if there's something to say.

Immediately post-surprise klaxons

[goodforsomething]

Hey, you! What the hell was that?

[kingmakereffect]

The klaxons going off, obviously.
