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.

Heeeyo, Kingmaker.

[Look, she gave you a whole day. Black's nearby, as usual, but... he can only hear her side of the conversation anyway, so. You know. That's fine.

... And yes, she called him pretty much after her text.]

I have a question for you! It doesn't pertain to your friend. Do you know a girl named Hilda? Make sure you fill out the thing I texted you too.

[kingmakereffect]

[A whole day....... how generous.....

It takes him a little bit to respond and when he does he sounds kind of tired.]

Maybe I'll get to that text, maybe I won't.

I don't know anyone with that name. Why?

[captainobnoxious]

Oh, no reason. And you'd better! I wanna see the kind of character you'd play in our game. I'm the Dungeon Master for it.

[Be the nerd, Kingmaker. She'll shake her head at Black though, no dice on info.]

Nevermind that though, get to it when you can. Did something happen? You don't sound so good.

[kingmakereffect]

No, nothing happened. I just haven't been sleeping well lately. And before you ask no, there isn't a reason why.

[captainobnoxious]

So you're just one of those types that can't sleep sometimes. That sucks, as useful as it might be for you. When you're not feeling dead tired because of it.

... I'll just ask you one question today, since you're tired. Do you mind?

[kingmakereffect]

Go ahead. As usual, I might not answer. But I'm here, so you might as well.

[captainobnoxious]

Why did you choose to stay?

[Yup, it's the question from before.]

[kingmakereffect]

Why do you think I'm the person Glory was talking about? I already told you I didn't fit that description.

[captainobnoxious]

You didn't tell me anything of the sort, Kingmaker. In fact, I've never asked you anything about Glory before.

[... That she remembers, honestly. But she's 95% sure she hasn't.]

However, every person that's run one of these has ended up chosen to stay here, and you've said yourself that you're like us -- this isn't your world either, and you don't know how long you've been here. Supposedly.

[kingmakereffect]

...Fair enough. Even with all of that, I can't tell you why I chose to stay here.

[captainobnoxious]

Because it doesn't matter?

[kingmakereffect]

Believe what you want to.

[captainobnoxious]

That's just your usual excuse, along with that it's not important. I think you can't tell me because... well, I haven't stopped hounding you about the topic you don't like to talk about.

Or because it's a really stupid reason. Even if I can't think of one of those right now.

[kingmakereffect]

I don't think it's a stupid reason. Maybe you guys would, but I don't.

That's the most I'll say about it.

[captainobnoxious]

There's rarely a stupid reason to want to stay in a place after everyone else is gone, Kingmaker. Even I wouldn't really mind staying here myself... Well, I mind a little now, since bombshell's gone.

[There's still a bit of sadness there. It can't be helped.]

And apparently everyone that sticks around goes insane. But that's the only question I wanted an answer to, yeah. Try and get some sleep.

[... She also can't help that part of her. Also: If he's sleeping, then he's not watching them.]

[kingmakereffect]

Don't worry, I'll know if you all are up to something.

Goodnight, Boundless.

[But he's not giving her a chance to ask about it, because he's hanging up!!!]
