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

[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.

[WHO THEN MAKES PEOPLE KILL EACH OTHER]

[kingmakereffect]

Well, that's certainly true.

[notjustawriter]

How'd you figure it out, anyway? That a bunch of worlds were dyin'.

[kingmakereffect]

...That's a long story, and not one I feel like sharing.

[notjustawriter]

.....I imagine it's pretty grim.

[kingmakereffect]

Maybe, maybe not. It's not important right now anyway.

[notjustawriter]

Not one for conversation, are ya?

[kingmakereffect]

Not when it's about me, no.

[notjustawriter]

Don't find yourself that interestin', huh?

[kingmakereffect]

I think I'm very interesting. But there isn't much in my life that's relevant to you all.
