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.

[ ...oh. Well, that's. ]

Were the complications linked to Bombastic? Or the fact there's apparently souls still hanging around here? Or was it something else entirely.

[kingmakereffect]

A bit of both of those things.

[penduli]

...I made some jokes about ghosts possessing the stuffed animals Sacrificial and I have been making, but that's not actually possible even with them still around, is it?

[kingmakereffect]

I don't think so.

[penduli]

[ That's not quite as sure as he thought it'd be. ]

I see.

Do you know why they might still be here? Most souls pass on after death, though I suppose none of them were exactly given last rites to help with that.

[kingmakereffect]

I don't know. This is all news to me, because Bombastic never talked about them when we spoke.

[penduli]

I suppose he wouldn't.

[ ...it's... what he has to do, right..? ]

If anything should happen regarding those souls, would you like to know, or is that something that's not important in the grander scheme of things?

[kingmakereffect]

I'd definitely like to know.

[penduli]

[ That seals that fate. ]

Then I'll let you know as soon as anything comes up. If anything comes up.

[ ...there's something bugging him, just a little, and he'll return to not-business texting style. ]

one more question? mr. resourceful was curious about the possibility of people working with you. i know there's me, and there was bombastic. is there anyone else?

[ He's not really expecting an answer past "That's not important," but he might as well ask. ]

[kingmakereffect]

It's just stupid to only rely on one person's information, isn't it?

[penduli]

[ —oh shit, he actually got an answer. ]

it is.

[ ...god now he's going to wonder about who it is all day—but he knows the Kingmaker's not going to give that up, so he won't bother to ask. That'd be giving up confidential information. ]

thank you for answering my questions. i'll contact you again after the meeting.

[kingmakereffect]

Thank you. We'll talk then.
