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.

[Interesting is a good way to put it, but.]

I told you it wasn't a happy tale, right? But I'm used to it, so bravery doesn't even come to mind when I think about tracking them down. It's just my sworn duty as an Eide.

[And one she's very clearly proud of.]

[kingmakereffect]

Is this something your family has done for a long time?

[captainobnoxious]

As long as I can remember! [ehhh] Well, maybe since my grandparents anyway. I grew up hearing all about the glorious tales of them and the rest of my family, from cousins to brothers in arm, so it's only natural I'd want to find my footing while I'm still young.

[Treasure, glory, recognition -- no one in their right mind would've refused the expedition she'd volunteered herself onto, even if it's still fuzzy as to what they were doing out there in the first place.]

... And now I'm here, so that's a thing. You sure know how to take the glory away from dying.

[kingmakereffect]

"The glory away from dying"... hmm. That's an interesting thought.

[...]

Thank you for sharing that with me, Boundless. I appreciate it.

[captainobnoxious]

I'm sure you do, after all the questions we've asked you. Anything else?

[kingmakereffect]

Not right now, no. Perhaps I'll have something to ask you later, if you're still interested in talking.

[captainobnoxious]

Sure, I don't see why not. I've got all the time in the world now to sing the praises I know so well, and if you're so interested who am I to deny you some?

[aka she just likes talking]

Even if you're a total bastard sometimes. Are you honor bound not to say answer certain things or something?

[Not that she's expecting an answer, but hey.]

[kingmakereffect]

I can't tell you that. But I'm sure you were expecting that answer.

[captainobnoxious]

Let's just say I'm getting used to it, Kingmaker. No point in beating a sweet horse if there's nothing inside.

[save yourself and don't ask]

[kingmakereffect]

A sweet... horse? Actually, I'm not sure I want to know.

[ (unsure) ]

[captainobnoxious]

[too fuckin bad]

No one knows it! Alright, short version is that kids would stuff a dead horse full of sweets and then bludgeon it during a celebration until the candies came out. I have no idea why, but they did! Isn't that awesome?

[kingmakereffect]

Uh... Okay. That's... interesting.

[???????]

[captainobnoxious]

Awesome. Say it with me, awesome.

[kingmakereffect]

Yes, I'm sure it is awesome...

[captainobnoxious]

There you go! Wasn't so hard, was it?

[I hope you're getting the feeling of your shoulder being pat, because she would be if she could.]

Take care, maker. I'm sure everyone hating your guts is really sucking, but I gotta say, I appreciate what answers you have given me. So thanks.

[kingmakereffect]

You don't need to concern yourself with my feelings, but it's appreciated, Boundless.

I'll talk to you later.
