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

[kingmakereffect]

I prefer the straightforward approach with questions. Riddles take longer to figure out and I'm not as fond of that.

[kingmakereffect]

You don't have to believe me if you don't want to.

[garudynamic]

...you keep doing that. There's no reason NOT to talk about it, right? If I'm wrong then tell me HOW I'm wrong instead of just talking in goddamn circles! I know what I heard that was definitely at LEAST annoyance.

[kingmakereffect]

You can "know" all you like, but that doesn't change the fact that you're wrong. I wasn't annoyed. I wasn't mad. But there's no point in trying to tell you that because you won't believe me. You're going to continue to believe what you want to regardless of what I say.

[garudynamic]

[He makes a frustrated little noise]

Fine, whatever.

[He doesn't want this conversation to devolve into yelling like last time, so he just drops it. It's not leading anywhere]

I just don't get it. But I guess that's 'not important' anyways.

[kingmakereffect]

It isn't. I don't expect anyone to get it anyway.

[garudynamic]

[There's something about how he says that that gets Yosuke's attention- so while he's clearly still frustrated, there's a hint of sincere curiosity]

Do even WANT anyone to get it?

[kingmakereffect]

...Do you have any other questions, Meteoric?

[continuing to be the most helpful person in the vault, huh kingmaker]

[captainobnoxious]

Yeah, me too. They're just pointless. What person likes to solve them in their spare time?

[garudynamic]

[Bingo. Though it's not much, he'll take it. He gives a tired sigh]

No, guess not.

[kingmakereffect]

They appeal to some people, I'm sure.

[kingmakereffect]

I'm sure I'll hear from you later, then.

[click!]

[captainobnoxious]

Boring people.

[the same kind of people who have nothing better with their time than to make lists and junk]

Anyway, yeah, I'll probably have more questions for you later or something, but I'll let you off for now.

[kingmakereffect]

Alright. I'll be here whenever you're ready.

[click!]

[bloodisthicker]

I'm sure you're saying that with a straight face.

The whole thing was rude to begin with, anyway.

[kingmakereffect]

Believe it or not, I am.

As for whether it's rude or not, it doesn't matter, does it? It's happening and you all have to deal with it.

[bloodisthicker]

...Actually, you know, I'm trying to figure out what the point of this one is. I'm capable of basic pattern recognition so I'm guessing someone is probably going to get killed over it on Friday, but you're just... kind of waving these in our faces because.

[kingmakereffect]

Maybe that's exactly it. You have no way of knowing, do you?

[bloodisthicker]

How are you twenty-five and not twelve?

[kingmakereffect]

Don't be rude.

[JEEZ TARRLOK]

[bloodisthicker]

It's perfectly polite to ask people to act their age where I'm from, actually.

[kingmakereffect]

I'd say comparing me to a child is pretty rude.

[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]

... Mine's true.

[That much she knows. Even if it's something that is... more than a little shameful to admit that she's bothered by.]

But I got a request to ask if they were all true, though I couldn't tell you who'd written it. And you've withheld the truth before, don't see why you wouldn't do it about these.
