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

[It is always a pleasure to make him do something. Having an effect on people is really the best.]

You did, you did. So I'll try something new.

I'm going to guess that he died first and then you decided to win.

[kingmakereffect]

I'm not talking about him. Stop trying.

[HE MADE SUCH A BIG MISTAKE MENTIONING HIM....]

[captainobnoxious]

[HE REALLY DID.]

I can't imagine you killing him, unless you had a fit or something. You two just sounded so close -- did you love him? I've been told a lot of people do stupid things for love, you know, but it's not just the kind of love I had for bombshell that gets people to make mistakes.

[kingmakereffect]

I didn't kill him!!

[And that's louder than usual, more forceful and angry. He settles quickly enough though.]

I didn't love him either. That would've been weird. Stop asking! I'm not telling you anything else!

[captainobnoxious]

It's not weird to love your friends, you know. I love all of mine, even if they might all not love me right now.

[... That was such an outburst, though. Her grin could probably be seen from space.

But... she goes quiet for a moment after that, a thought forming in mind, and her tone goes a little more gentle.]

Did he betray you?

[kingmakereffect]

...I know I said I wasn't going to answer anything else, but I don't want you to start sympathizing with me or anything like that. No. He didn't betray me.

[captainobnoxious]

Honey, I wouldn't sympathize with you if you were the last person on this planet. You're gonna die whether you want to or not.

[...]

But that's good. It's not very nice feeling to be betrayed.

[Obviously. She just felt like she'd get a better answer if she wasn't a bigger jerk about it.]

Why'd you choose to stay here?

[kingmakereffect]

[...]

I think that's enough for today, Boundless.

[He doesn't sound angry, upset, or... anything, really. But he does hang up, so there's that.]
