TEXT

[kingmakereffect]

If you have something to ask the Kingmaker about over text, this is where it goes! The Kingmaker will respond to text messages as soon as he's available. You will most likely get a text back very quickly.

Your smartphones will only connect to the Kingmaker. There is no option to send a text to anyone else, instead it will connect automatically to his phone.

Comments are screened for privacy; no looking at each other's private texts without permission, after all.

...Do you mean specifically? Because I think "they're going to die" is a given.

[pokexplorer]

Of course it is. Yes, I mean specifically.

[kingmakereffect]

[...............................]

Why do you want to know?

[pokexplorer]

Is it not in my nature as a scientist to be curious?

[kingmakereffect]

[...WELL YES BUT DUDE]

Do you want a book on toxins so you can research these things?

[pokexplorer]

[IT'S FINE, EVERYTHING IS FINE...]

Is that an actual offer? I would appreciate that quite a lot.

And here I thought you had eliminated all of the scientific books.

[kingmakereffect]

It's an actual offer, yes. It'll be in your room tomorrow.

[pokexplorer]

Ah, excellent! As I said, I appreciate it.

[But how does it just...end up in his room, he wonders.]

And to answer your question in a clearer manner, it truly is curiosity for the most part. The only real toxins that are prevalent in my world come from Poison-type Pokemon. I want to see how this "arsenic" compares.

[kingmakereffect]

Really? That sounds interesting, actually. Maybe I'd like to hear about what your world was like sometime.

What other things have you wanted to research here? For curiosity's sake.

[pokexplorer]

Let's just hope that I make it long enough to tell you, then.

As for what else I have wanted to research...that is like asking me what haven't I wanted to research. Your way of bringing us here would have to be at the top of the list, though naturally I assume that won't come very easily.

[kingmakereffect]

Not easily, no. But that doesn't mean it can't come at all.

How receptive are you to exchanging information?

[pokexplorer]

[...Well now, what's this?]

You are surprising me more and more today, Kingmaker.

It's something I am well-versed in, if that helps.

[kingmakereffect]

I like surprising people once in a while. It's less boring that way.

But if you'd be interested, I could maybe give you things in exchange for something like that. Nothing too hard. Mostly stuff about your fellow Survivors, though if there's anything particularly interesting about your home world that you'd like to talk about I could give you something for that, too.

[pokexplorer]

[......

He is slightly skeptical about this, since it's the Kingmaker he's talking to here. But it can't hurt to press this a little further.]

I can handle both, but what exactly do you need? Honestly, sometimes it seems as though you know more about us than we ourselves, what with that profile information.

[kingmakereffect]

That's true, but I can't keep an eye on you guys all the time.

I'm pretty good, but I am only one person.

[pokexplorer]

I see. Then it is current information that you are after? I imagine you at least are aware of blatant rule-breaking when it happens, so what else do you want?

[kingmakereffect]

Notes on potential plans and troublemakers, really.

[pokexplorer]

[Ohhhh boy. How did he have a feeling it would be this?]

Naturally, it would put me at a severe disadvantage should I do this and anyone discovers my actions. What I receive in return will have to be worth that risk.

[kingmakereffect]

You're currently talking to your captor.

If anyone can make the risk worth it, it would be me, wouldn't it?

[pokexplorer]

I know. But you must understand that because you are my captor, my level of trust with you is not the highest. Certainly not after your little announcement today.

[Week three's incentive, that is. And he doesn't mind going out and saying that. It's true!]

However...

If you can make it enticing enough, I will consider.
