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.

It's working. Hello, Perceiving. What's the question?

[wokeupdead]

Oh good! I know you blew your entire budget on fancy knife sets but I really think you should throw a TV down here or at least real laundry machines.

[Yes. That's what she's calling about.]

[kingmakereffect]

Neither of those are necessities. You'll have to do without.

[this fuckin' guy]

[wokeupdead]

Have you ever washed clothes by hand before? [She hasn't but she's not looking forward to it.] How about turning down the morning alarm. Just a lil'.

Pretty please?

[kingmakereffect]

The alarm is staying the way it is. Anything else?

[this fuckin' guy]

[wokeupdead]

[Throw a girl a bone, dude... Also she hums for a bit like she's really thinking about it and then.]

Is there anything we could do or not do that would really piss you off?

[Look, she wasn't getting far in brainstorming strike ideas with Yato by herself.]

[kingmakereffect]

...Why would I tell you something like that?

[you can practically hear the ??????]

[wokeupdead]

So I can keep doing it until you let us out!

[No one said the girl wasn't honest.]

[kingmakereffect]

While I appreciate your honesty, I'm not going to tell you anything like that. One, it won't work. And two, I don't want to be annoyed.

[oh my god, lynne]

[wokeupdead]

Drat. You're really no fun.

[At least she Tried. There's a short pause like she might just end the conversation here but there's one final question. The real reason she's here.]

Hey, I know you said we are all from multiple worlds and not much time has passed since we came here... If we did leave this place where would we end up? {. . .] Is there really no hope of going back to our worlds?

[kingmakereffect]

[There's silence for a moment before the Kingmaker speaks up.]

If you successfully end the exercise early as it says in rule seven... then you'll remain here. You will be free to leave the facility and explore this world, if you want. As for returning home... I don't think that would be a good idea. Your worlds were destroyed, after all.

[wokeupdead]

[And the answer doesn't change no matter how many times she asks. She would rather hear anything but that repeated.]

What is the point of "exploring this world" anyway? Is there even anything out there? None of this makes any sense!

[kingmakereffect]

I can't answer that question. For the time being, all you can really do is decide for yourself what you feel you should do. Stay with the others or... well, you know the other option.

[wokeupdead]

[Huff.]

I guess that just leaves looking for whatever annoys you the most then.

[And bye! You proved to be as frustrating and annoying the second time around as the first.]
