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]

Exactly. If a rule is broken, there must be a punishment. I'm not going to lash out at any of you because I'm angry. That's not fair. Besides, I don't get angry anyway.

[garudynamic]

Oh, so the sudden 'knives holding up notes' look is just for the effect.

[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]

[garudynamic]

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

No, guess not.

[kingmakereffect]

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