MESSAGES

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.

[That was definitely A Thing, wasn't it.]

Hello, Enforcing. What is it?

[He sounds totally normal. Nothing weird here.]

[ ...huh.

He thought he'd be mad, or something. Maybe he didn't see—that's a little too much to hope for. On the other hand, he had people to watch for him because he couldn't watch all the time...

Black laughs softly; it's not seen, but he's totally shrugging. ]

Just thought you'd be up to hear some incredibly interesting gossip. And maybe answer a couple of questions while you're at it.

Depends on what questions you have. I'm sure you know by now that you're not going to get any particularly useful information from me.

Sometimes I do. [ ... ] It's usually more interesting than useful, granted, but... that's fine too.

[ Okay. ]

First thing on the docket: did you know Miss Sigrun can't sleep at night unless she has a goat doll with her dead boyfriend's face on it? [ Really. ] I think it's unexpectedly cute of her, if a little... weird, too.

Well that's... I'm not sure what to make of that. Depressing, maybe.

[He doesn't sound depressed though.]

[ ...he gets the feeling it's less "depressing" and more "kind of pathetic," really. Otherwise: buddy doesn't know sad or sympathy and that's okay. We all have our flaws. ]

A little, I guess. I made a bear for Zagi—well, I make stuffed animals for everyone, and I actually made a couple of him before I had one that was the quality I wanted?—and I gave the first one to her. It guards her trunk. [ Which is actually really cute. ] Looking at it now's kind of embarrassing though.

I found this all out because I had to stay in her room last night. [ ...he has to stay in her room for the rest of forever, actually, but anyway. ] I really didn't think she was the type.

She doesn't seem like the type at all, no. Maybe she just really likes them for whatever reason.

[some people like cute things???]

[ okay, but what the fuck is cute about a mettaton goat??? ]

I can't imagine she's ever had anything like that growing up, so maybe she's trying to enjoy her childhood while she has the opportunity?

[...okay yeah, point taken...]

Oh, that might make sense. She does act kind of young sometimes.

She does. Jumping the gun thoughtlessly is definitely a younger person thing, and she's done that a few times recently, hasn't she?

She has, yes. You sound pretty calm about it.

[ ...yeah... ]

I've made my peace. [ ... ] Were you watching the past couple of days?

I was, yes. I always am.

[ Then what's the point of asking people to sell out their peers!!

...he's not gonna ask that. ]

...Miss Sigrun's still asleep, [ as he's sure he can probably tell, if he really is always watching ] so I don't think there's any harm in asking if we can continue our deal?

What sort of information do you have for me, then?

[He sounds interested now.]

[ ...all right, let's see how well this goes. ]

Miss Sigrun's asked me to continue to play being a sell-out because she wants me to try and get information from you that we can use to our advantage—sort of turning the tables, since I'd be selling you out to them instead of the other way around. [ It's not a bad idea, coming from her. ] I agreed to it so I could have access to my phone again and let you know, on the off-chance you weren't... terribly mad at me for getting outed to the rest of everyone else.

I don't think they'd be expecting me to do it again, seeing how much it hurt everyone [ Yosuke ] and how sorry I was over it, but... [ A small laugh. ] I'm not really as good of a person as they think I am, Kingmaker, and I think it actually gives me a pretty good cover to keep doing so, wouldn't you say?

Oh, that is interesting. I do like it.

Of course, I won't be surprised if you turn on me. But I'll play along. What do you want to know?

[ It's human nature to turn on each other when someone's use has run out. ]

Well, she wanted to know what your plans for us were. I'm pretty interested in hearing that myself, since last we heard of them, it was from Glory and Ambitious. Mostly Glory. They wrote to us when you didn't hand us an incentive, and we asked more from Glory later on. Mr. Cherryblod did, anyway. I took notes.

[ ...he's always been asked to takes notes. ]

The last thing we heard was that you were going to kill all of us, starting with the already dead first since you did that last time, too. [ ... ] She wanted to know what you were planning for them as well, especially Glory and Ambitious.

[...that was their mistake, tbh.]

Hmm. As much as I like the game you want to play, that isn't something I can give you. Do you have another question I could answer instead?

[ Sure was.

...and he hums thoughtfully. Not something he can give him... All right. ]

That's fine, and I might. Let's see... [ ...Sigrun called him smart, but he's not that smart. Not really. He's just a D in a class of Fs. ] If you can't tell me what your plans are, then... tell me why you'd want to kill all of us? Unless you'd rather me try and guess at it.

[ He's pretty shit at potshots in the dark, but he can manage. ]

Well now I have to hear you guess it. I won't get insulted, so go ahead.

You're bored of us.

That's actually a good guess.

But is it a right one?

Nope. It's a nice try, though.
