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]

That's correct. What is it, Resourceful?

[notjustawriter]

I was wonderin' if you could answer some questions I had about this place.

I'll understand if you can't, of course; I'm just curious.

[kingmakereffect]

It depends on what the questions are, of course. But go ahead, I'm listening.

[notjustawriter]

I was wonderin' if you could tell me a little bit about the history of this place.

It looks kinda old, doesn't it? Reminds me of one of those nuclear shelters people were buildin' in the 50s.

What was it used for before we came along?

[kingmakereffect]

That isn't important. The history of the building won't be of any use to you, will it?

[notjustawriter]

What's the harm in learnin'?

I'm supposed to be livin' here now, aren't I?

[kingmakereffect]

Yes, you are. But there really isn't any point in talking about that. It's not interesting and fishing for information like this won't get you anywhere.

You don't expect me to believe you're actually interested in a boring place like this, do you?

[notjustawriter]

Y'don't think it's actually boring, do you?

I've never seen technology like this before. Like this phone you've given me? Hell, it wouldn't look outta place on Star Trek.

If you wanna talk boring, I could tell you all about Saint George's Books.

[kingmakereffect]

I'd rather not be bored at all. The history of this place is unimportant.

[notjustawriter]

Alright, that's fair.

What about the library? Did you stock it yourself, or did it come with the place?

I own a bookstore, see. Rare books are my thing.

[kingmakereffect]

Oh, I see. That does explain your interest in it.

The library isn't particularly important either, unfortunately. Obviously you're free to explore it and see if there's anything to your liking.

[notjustawriter]

I see.

I've got one more question for ya-- I had somethin' on me from what I last remember, and I was wonderin' if you know what happened to it?

It was a cast of a footprint, you would've recognized it. Big, big paw print-- the size of a hand.

[kingmakereffect]

If you're missing items, you might want to try the vending machine. There are some of your belongings in there.

...That goes for all of you, since I'm sure you're going to share this information with your fellow Survivors.

[notjustawriter]

Y'sound like you've done this before.

[....]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

[kingmakereffect]

You're welcome. If you have any other questions, you're free to call me at any time.

Of course I might not answer your questions, but that's a given.
