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."

[cherryblooded]

Appreciate the thought.

[Why is this seriously a topic.]

[captainobnoxious]

Oh, it's a phone? I thought it was a weapon.

[She might've tossed it a few times at a wall to see its capabilities.]

It's tough as rocks. I think it even chipped off some of the wall here.

[cherryblooded]

Miss, could you please consider how you would like to be eaten?

[This is an alarming conversation she's having here.]

[ignorantly]

We haven't even been here a day yet.

[penduli]

But a set of top-of-the-line appliances is. [ /disbelief. ] You could've just given us the bare necessities there too, so why didn't you?

[captainobnoxious]

[beCAUSE it's a REALITY, NORMAN!!!]

[neverafters]

The King is... grateful...

[ But he still sounds so unsure, and now he's going to be worried about all the non-royal birds................ ]

[kingmakereffect]

None of that is important right now. What is important is what you all will choose to do.

[goodforsomething]

You got it, buddy.

[Not eating you. Clearly this is a friendship for the ages.]

[penduli]

[ SIGRUN.................. ]

[sleepingkogoro]

Are you meaning to say whoever "earns their freedom" will be crowned king? King of what? What's out there?

[cherryblooded]

[Everybody's gotta start somewhere, and that's better than the inverse.]

[kingmakereffect]

Do you want this place to catch on fire? Personally, I'd rather avoid that.

[psychoh]

It's easy to say that... [sigh] I-I have thin skin to begin with.

[penduli]

[ oh no....... this is terrible... ]

Sorry. [ ..........UH, you know, speaking of food. ] Er, Your Majesty? What do you eat?

[kingmakereffect]

One question at a time, please.

[sleepingkogoro]

Why does it matter to you what we do or what we don't do? If we are here we at least deserve an explanation of what is going on!

[captainobnoxious]

[Welcome.]

Big, black, and with as many arms as you can imagine. Teeth that count so high you lose track when you try. Quick on their many feet and with a knife through their disgusting skulls.

[penduli]

It's made of concrete and metal. I doubt it'd catch on fire so easily. [ Haha...... ] But... all right. Why do we have a vending machine that looks brand new instead of a washing machine? What's so necessary about that?

[captainobnoxious]

Best to be prepared for anything, sharptooth. Even if it's a lifetime of commitment.

[prismbloom]

No. I can say for certain that I'm not, and I'll do my best to keep anyone from getting hurt. By anyone.

[amygdalae]

How do we do that?

[PHONES, YES. Bruce wants to know as well.]

[penduli]

[





what ]

What?

[kingmakereffect]

Demanding explanations won't get you anywhere.

[captainobnoxious]

Then shouldn't you be asking us questions?
