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 see. I'm not really sure what to say to that, but... thank you for telling me.

[captainobnoxious]

[She laughs a little at that.]

People generally say "you're welcome" when thanked, Kingmaker. As messed up as the thanks is.

[kingmakereffect]

Well, yes. I wasn't expecting to hear something like that, that's all.

[captainobnoxious]

Well, I wouldn't expect anyone to say it, but I'm sure there's more than a few people here who'd agree. I wouldn't just go asking around though.

[Even if that'd be pretty fun to hear about.]

[kingmakereffect]

I'd be the worst person to ask about it anyway.

...But that is interesting.

[captainobnoxious]

Right? It's a silver lining kind of thing.

[... Though she goes quiet for a moment, thinking.]

Until someone you care about is killed or does the killing, anyway. That's a pretty hefty downside. I'm not sure how well I could handle it again, especially if...

[...]

Well, anyway, that's enough out of me! You have worse company to be keeping, so I won't keep you from your solitude or the ten other people asking you weird questions.

Oh, hey, do most people call you, or do the thing with their fingers? And which do you like more?

[kingmakereffect]

...I get a decent amount of both. Personally I prefer calling, but I don't have any problems with texting.

[He'll let that go just for you, Sigrun. But your worries have been noted!!]

[captainobnoxious]

[Aww, you're too sweet, KM.

Please disregard her worries.]

I like calling too. It's nice to hear someone, you know? Texting's weird anyway, though... maybe I'll try it sometime? I don't know when. Maybe if my voice gives out.

[kingmakereffect]

I have to wonder if that's even possible.

[...it's a joke...]

[captainobnoxious]

[oh no... stop that.........]

Look who's talking! I'd be worried about your voice giving out before mine, honey.

[kingmakereffect]

I'm not that loud! Or that talkative.

[captainobnoxious]

You so are that talkative! I'm gonna laugh so hard when you lose your voice and have to find some other way to tell us what's up.

[kingmakereffect]

No way, it's totally not going to happen.

[captainobnoxious]

[kingmaker, your age is showing]

Let's make a bet then! Whoever's voice goes first has to do something for the other! I mean, not that there's much I can do for you, but I'm sure you could think of something.

[kingmakereffect]

[oops, you didn't hear that!!]

I'm not making any bets with you, Boundless. Nice try though.

[captainobnoxious]

[it was cute!!!]

Fine, fine, you're just scared I'll win and make you announce to everyone how much you love me. I get it! You just can't handle the thought of spilling your heart to the world.

[meanwhile: is this woman seriously 32]

[kingmakereffect]

You can pretend it's something like that if it makes you happy.

[sigrun is definitely not 32]

[captainobnoxious]

Of course it'd make me happy! I mean, I couldn't return your feelings since I have a boyfriend, but I'd be touched and unsurprised. I'm a popular woman, you know.

[... she's a woman who gets her foot in the door the moment it's open, but. you know.]

[kingmakereffect]

...Again, if that's what you want to believe...

[you can practically hear the (unsure)]

[captainobnoxious]

[please... humor her someday...]

You're bad at back and forth. Come on, spit a little more fire, don't just melt away like ice.

[kingmakereffect]

I've never been the type to spit fire. Sorry.

[captainobnoxious]

More a mouse than a rat, huh. I guess that fits you.

[...]

You're forgiven though. I guess. If you need that kind of thing. I think it's nice when you joke around, by the way, it definitely makes you feel more human.

[kingmakereffect]

You're making me sound totally pathetic...

[jeez sigrun]

Well, like I said, I am human. I guess that's good to hear.

[captainobnoxious]

[there it is again... the cute obvious age...]

You know, I think I'll ruffle your hair the first time we meet instead of asking to punch you. You remind me of some of the recruits back home when you get comfortable.

[kingmakereffect]

[are you really calling your kidnapper cute are you really]

...I actually have no idea how to respond to that.
