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.

I said I would provide you with everything you need, not anything you want.

Things like that aren't necessary, so you won't get them.

[penduli]

being genre savvy is very necessary, and this whole place is a big mystery. i feel like it'd fall under a need in that case.

...and if you give us at least this i won't ask you for a washing machine anymore. [ this... totally isn't going to work, but he'll try anyway. ]

[kingmakereffect]

It's cute that you think that's going to work, but the answer is still no.

[penduli]

it was worth a shot. [ OH WELL... he'll try his best to explain the nuances to sigrun.

...if she can follow the conversation for that long. ] what's with the candies in the kitchen?

[kingmakereffect]

...Do you not like them?

[penduli]

[ are you going to take offense if he says yes ]

they just don't strike me as being very necessary, and for someone who's stuck on things that we need and things we don't need, it seems silly.

[kingmakereffect]

[Not really. It's not like it's the Kingmaker's fault that you're 21 going on 80.]

What would you replace them with? If you had your way.

[penduli]

[ i'm fucking crying and it's all your fault jesus christ ]

a washing machine [ #GIVE US A WASHING MACHINE 2K16 ]

[kingmakereffect]

That's not going to fit in the cupboards, so you'll have to make do with the candies.

[penduli]

............okay. [ feel the dissatisfaction. ] has anyone else contacted you yet?

[kingmakereffect]

That's confidential information, sorry.

[penduli]

[ he'll take that as a yes. ]

are all of us really the only survivors? just 27 people who don't even know each other? you couldn't have helped people that were around us too?

[kingmakereffect]

[...]

Would you willingly put people you care about in this situation?

[penduli]

[ ... ]

it'd be easier to live here if i at least had my sister.

[kingmakereffect]

Maybe for a while, anyway.

[penduli]

maybe. i'd probably stay forever if i had mom and dad too.

but they're all dead, aren't they.

[kingmakereffect]

You're also assuming that no one would kill them during your stay here.

You're not the only person going through this, after all.

[penduli]

[ ...that's true enough. ]

maybe if they all have their loved ones too they'd be happy?

[kingmakereffect]

I wouldn't be so sure.
