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

[notjustawriter]

Kingmaker? You around right now?

[kingmakereffect]

I usually am. What is it?

[notjustawriter]

I was wonderin' how big this place is. That staircase leads to a second floor, and I'm wonderin' how many floors are there of this building?

[kingmakereffect]

That's not really important. You'll find out eventually, maybe.

[notjustawriter]

[is he talking to a sentient brick wall]

It's kinda weird, opening up the place after people die, innit?

[kingmakereffect]

Maybe it was just a coincidence.

[notjustawriter]

Maybe.

Sure is nice of you to keep an art studio so well stocked, though.

[kingmakereffect]

I'm very fond of seeing how creative people can get. Make good use of it.

[notjustawriter]

Y'wouldn't happen to have a typewriter around, would you?

[kingmakereffect]

A typewriter? Why?

[notjustawriter]

I like usin' 'em to write.

It's better than hand-writing things; I have terrible handwriting, anyway.

[kingmakereffect]

That's interesting. I don't have one lying around, however.

[notjustawriter]

Well, that's a shame.

I don't suppose you'd be willin' to answer another question?

[kingmakereffect]

Depends on what it is, but go ahead.

[notjustawriter]

Where did these phones come from? They're nothin' like the cell phones I've ever seen.

[kingmakereffect]

They're very nice, aren't they? I'm quite fond of them.

[notjustawriter]

Oh, yeah. They're lovely.

[He's being honest.]

We have these things back home-- we call 'em palm pilots, but they're nothin' like these phones.

Didja design these yourself, or are they commonplace?

[kingmakereffect]

That's not important. You all really do like to get stuck on asking me the strangest questions.

[He sounds kind of amused by that though.]

[notjustawriter]

What's wrong with gettin' to know a guy?

I'd tell you about myself, but with that profile, I think you know more than I do right now.

[kingmakereffect]

Oh? What makes you say that?

[notjustawriter]

Well, for one, there's a name on one of my dislikes... "Preiss."

I don't have a clue who that is.

[kingmakereffect]

Maybe you'll figure it out eventually.

[notjustawriter]

Maybe.

Does that mean you don't know who the guy is? 'Cause, I mean. You must've gotten that information from somewhere.

[kingmakereffect]

Where I got my information isn't something you need to know now. You really are trying so hard to get answers out of me.

[...he sounds really amused...]

[notjustawriter]

[not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing....]

Can you blame a guy? Ain't every day someone claims to have saved you from your dyin' world.
