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."

[neverafters]

But The King still hopes birdkind won't be insulted too much.

... The King will do his best being considerate, talking about humans too. [ He's probably met more of you elusive guys just now than his entire lifetime... ]

[kingmakereffect]

Unfortunately, they are still in your worlds.

[amygdalae]

[BECAUSE SOMEBODY THINKS ITS WORTH MAKING IT ONE, APPARENTLY.]

[ignorantly]

[ sigrun w h y ]

...Isn't it too soon to start thinking about makin' babies?

[kingmakereffect]

Do you have a question, Adept?

[penduli]

[ NNNNNN CAN WE NOT TALK ABOUT THIS

CAN WE NOT??? CAN WE. ]

I, er... I'm not really interested in the idea? I'm not against it, but I think I'd like to be a little older, and I'd rather adopt? [ .....that's not. really gonna pan out here, is it. ] What about you?

[amygdalae]

I'm... sure we can come to a mutual understanding.

[Bruce is STILL TRYING TO TAKE THIS IN but he's. Managing well, considering.]

[captainobnoxious]

The other way is just telling us, but you haven't been cooperative enough for that.

[An interesting question still unanswered.]

What's the point of letting us ask questions you won't answer?

[psychoh]

[jesus he can practically feel Mother's loathing of this girl.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT DISGUSTING THINGS...]

[kingmakereffect]

Yes, you may. What else do you want to ask?

[lackinginfaith]

Could anyone? Maybe if they had nothing to go back to even before this supposed disaster.

[goodforsomething]

Yeah, yeah, don't worry about it. Your mom's fine.

[And so's his family. Yeah.]

He's just tryin' to get under our skin. So don't let him.

[captainobnoxious]

[gotta be prepared, recruit]

It's that or killing someone.

[kingmakereffect]

I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

[psychoh]

[shrugs] It's not like we have much of a choice. We're trapped here.

[and the best thing to do in a trap is to resign yourself and give up immediately.]

[uro_cyon]

[ Well if they're just going to get to it then--]

The phones. What's the point in them when there's no signal here?

[penduli]

[ okay. VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS, like: ]

Our kitchen's very well-stocked and seems pretty state-of-the-art--that's really nice of you, by the way. [ he... is not bothered by the fact they don't have a dishwasher at all, actually. he likes doing dishes by hand! ] So... why don't we have a washing machine or something?

[ the important questions. ]

[captainobnoxious]

I'll have kids someday, but I have more important work to do first. Being an only child gives you that responsibility right between the legs.

[Though... that isn't gonna work out here...]

There's plenty of other women besides me here, so I'll just protect everyone. No one here's really my type anyway.

[goodforsomething]

Hey, shrimp-guy's alright. [He kinda promised not to eat the shrimp guy.] As for the bird...

...well, we got plenty of rations. Don't need to decide anything right now.

[kingmakereffect]

You can use those to get in contact with me.

[penduli]

[ GOD SHE'S SO CRASS..... ]

What is your type? [ BLACK, WITH ALL THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TODAY. ]

[kingmakereffect]

A washing machine isn't necessary. The laundry room you have is sufficient.

[cherryblooded]

It does. But what exactly would they be proving?

[How quickly people kill each other, maybe.]

[sleepingkogoro]

Our worlds has been destroyed? That is impossible! There is no way...

[...there is no way absolutely everything and everyone Mouri knew is...potentially dead.

Mouri desperately wants to shout, demand to know what happened to Ran, if there could be other survivors, anything that could tell him there's a possibility he isn't the only survivor, but he can't.

As he sees it he must stay strong and not let the Kingmaker see any weakness]

Fine! Let's "suppose" you are serious about that. How did you save us? How did we get here in the first place?

[captainobnoxious]

[dude..........]

That's wise for a bird. [Yeah.] I didn't think I'd heard something like that from royalty either. Though it's not like we've got a place for that in this world anymore anyway.

[Not in her world either. Destroyed or not, it was pretty dead in the first place. Just kind of like an eventuality if that expedition she was supposed to be going on didn't pan out.]
