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

Pets...

[...]

No, I don't consider you pets.

Anyway, what were your other questions?

[captainobnoxious]

I'd make the best pet.

[She already makes for the (objectively) best girlfriend.]

Whenever you wake up, whether it's tomorrow or whatever, what one ability or quality would you like to have? I'm personally into immortality.

[kingmakereffect]

I don't think I'd like immortality. Living forever sounds like it'd get boring after awhile.

I'm not sure what power I'd want. Mind-reading might be nice. Maybe then I'd be better at talking to people.

[...that was actually a joke...]

[captainobnoxious]

[was that actually a joke

Sigrun actually has a Moment where she just looks at the phone before she bursts out laughing.]

You sure would be! [sigrun] Actually, dilly-dally answered that too, but I'm pretty sure he'd just use it to see what people were thinking about him all the time.

[AKA km's is more worthy in her opinion.]

[kingmakereffect]

I don't need to read minds to know what most of you are thinking about me. Besides, that's not really that important, is it?

[this is why you're the fav, sigrun]

[captainobnoxious]

[she knew it]

Not for you, no. Though I've heard everything from kidnapper to jerk.

[Her own opinion, of course, is secret. But as someone from a world that's pretty much dead people wise... let's just say she understands drastic measure to protect others. Iceland routinely blew refugee boats out of the water if they didn't do the right code.

The exercise is something else entirely though.]

Alright, here's another. Complete this sentence-- or not, I guess, but complete it if you want: I wish I had someone I could share... what.

[kingmakereffect]

Hmm...

[ooh, that's a tough one, give him a moment...]

I don't really have an answer for that. I've never been good at sharing.

[captainobnoxious]

Aww, really? Not even like, a snack or a certain sight or something like that? You selfish bastard.

[It's good-natured insulting, don't worry.]

[kingmakereffect]

Oh yes, I'm absolutely the worst.

[look at what you've done, sigrun, you've got him to joke with you]

[captainobnoxious]

[i despise you with every fiber of my being because this is cute please don't turn out to be an unrepentant asshole]

Maybe that's why you've got no friends, you can't even bother to share the air with them! Yeesh, Kingmaker, learn to loosen your grip a little. What ever can I do to change your evil ways?

[kingmakereffect]

[no spoilers!!!]

Some people can't be changed, you know.

[captainobnoxious]

[IT'S MY ONLY REQUEST!!!]

Are you one of the ones that can't be?

[kingmakereffect]

[NO!!! SPOILERS!!!]

Yes, I am.

[captainobnoxious]

You know what we call those people?

[kingmakereffect]

What do you call them?

[captainobnoxious]

Stubborn asses.

[You're in good company there, Kingmaker.]

[kingmakereffect]

I think that's the first time I've been called that. Congratulations?

[captainobnoxious]

[An award all its own!!]

Wow. I thought for sure someone would've got there before me, but I won't complain about winning that race. I've been called that before though, so it's not like it's a bad thing, it just means that you're loyal to yourself.

[And that's better than being wishy-washy and wanting to please everyone.]

[kingmakereffect]

Yes, that's definitely true.

...Was that the last of your questions?

[captainobnoxious]

Of course not! We haven't even gotten to the best one yet! You didn't think you'd get out of this so easily, did you?

[Silly Kingmaker. Silly, silly Kingmaker.]

What's your most embarrassing memory?

[kingmakereffect]

[Oh, of course. How silly of him.]

...I'm not going to answer that one. But you probably expected that, didn't you?

[captainobnoxious]

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.

[kingmakereffect]

You don't seem like the sort to get embarrassed.

[captainobnoxious]

It's such a foreign feeling I didn't realize what it was until I had to tell someone my embarrassing moment.

[And even then it's like?? An awkward discomfort. Embarrassment is weird.]

... But you're right, this is pretty much the first place I've felt it. Not sure that I like it.

[kingmakereffect]

Hmm...

[He's quiet for a moment, thinking that over.]

...I haven't really experienced it.
