Induction.

[kingmakereffect]

There's a good amount of confusion, and rightfully so. After all, aside from the rules in purple listed on the wall, there isn't much to explain how you got here or why you're here. Don't worry though. It seems like you won't be left to your own devices for very long. There's a brief moment of static - not loud enough to be particularly grating, but enough to let you know that something's about to happen - before a voice addresses all of you from somewhere unseen. "Hello. I hope you all slept well. I was a bit worried after..." It sounds like it's coming from somewhere above you. There doesn't appear to be anything it's coming from, however. There's a brief pause before the voice resumes speaking. "I'm sure you all have a lot of questions for me. I don't mind answering them. Before you ask anything, I'd like you to examine the rules again. They're posted in every room." The voice is masculine, but there isn't anything to note about it otherwise. "I am the Kingmaker. Welcome to the Vault."

It's a sick game, more or less. Sick like the plague.

[garudynamic]

...

Heh, literally.

[...is now the time to joke about your barf, Yosuke?]

[isafraid]

[....Whoops. Poor choice of words. Look at the kid, sick in the mouth and he decided to say that.]

Are you going to be alright?

[garudynamic]

I-it's not the first time I've throw up after almost dying, so yeah!

[Remember that hysteric laugh he had before Speedwagon? Well it's sure back and ready to go]

[amygdalae]

...maybe you shouldn't encourage him.

[Just. Uh, saying.]

[isafraid]

I-- I'll be sure not to. [he doesn't want anyone throwing up anymore please.]

[isafraid]

[That is... that is not a good sound. Hand on your shoulder, kid.]

Easy. Just try to breath a little.

[garudynamic]

[He was scared of Speedwagon before, but right now the physical contact is grounding, and he takes a few deep breaths]

Sorry... this is pretty embarrassing.

[isafraid]

[Back pats from the giant Kanji. At least literally, he's got your back, kid.]

...Aint a lot someone can do when they've been told their whole entire world is gone. [He shakes his head.]

Even now... I'd say the whole things stinks like... [Well, what Yosuke just spat up.]

[garudynamic]

A lot of bullshit.

[Please pretend his hurl isn't still sitting there, being gross]

[isafraid]

[He's trying. Trust him, Yosuke. He's trying.]

There's got to be an explanation for it. Trust us, and we'll get down to whatever it is.

[There's that heart beginning to show. Sad people do that.]

[garudynamic]

[He blinks, then nods]

Heh, you kinds remind me of someone back home. Okay, I'll try my best too.

[isafraid]

[He tips his hat low, over his eyes until they're obscured. Probably not a good time for those stress tears.]

Strewth, I can't say I've heard that very often.

[...Glances downward.]

Someone will probably clean that up.

[garudynamic]

[Oh yeah, definitely reminds him of Kanji]

Aw come on, don't do that. There's already enough gross stuff on the floor.

[Speaking of]

Uhm... I'll take care of it. It's my fault after all.

[isafraid]

[A bigger, buffer Kanji. Congrats, Yosuke.

And Speedwagon will get as gross and emotional as he damn well pleases.]

Smart. Well, if you're well enough to joke around, you're well enough to me.

[You can handle your own puke, Yosuke. Hopefully.]
