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."

You still don't have to make it sound like you're talking about something else.

[prismbloom]

If having to kill someone is a show of someone's worth as a king, then I don't want to be a king of that sort of world.

[kingmakereffect]

You'll have to put in some coins and find out.

[neverafters]

[ His color returns back to normal so it seems he's okay now... but geez are those waterworks easy to set off. ]

He enjoys seeds and grains, and sweetcorn and veggies and berries.

[ Sounds standard fare, until... ]

The King also likes potato chips, and cake!

[penduli]

[ bBBUT WE WEREN'T EVEN ]

I thought we were talking about romantic interests, not... er... quarry?

[kingmakereffect]

I'm afraid I don't know.

[sleepingkogoro]

There's no reason to commit murder. It will never be acceptable in any way.

[ignorantly]

Can't we focus on tryin' to find a way out of here that doesn't involve murder instead?

[penduli]

[ Well, that's all pretty standard fa

potato chips and cake. ]

Is it really all right for you to eat that stuff? I thought birds couldn't stomach people food.

[kingmakereffect]

I'm sure you would have, but this is what you have now.

[kingmakereffect]

No one else.

[penduli]

Where or how do we get these coins, exactly?

[captainobnoxious]

[Sigrun is an alarming person.]

If I see your head on the chopping block, I'll do all I can to keep the killing blow from falling. I promise.

[kingmakereffect]

You'll have to keep an eye out for them.

[captainobnoxious]

[LISTEN. LISTEN.]

What privileged lives you lead. [sigh] Well, it probably won't come to that, so let's drop it and move on.

[cherryblooded]

[Sigh of relief.]

Thank you, miss.

[neverafters]

The King has never had an upset stomach while eating them. The King thinks The Enforcer need not worry!

[captainobnoxious]

Fair's fair. I'm just throwing the idea in the air.

[captainobnoxious]

It's no problem! I mean, it's the responsibility of the strong to protect the incapable, so I don't see an issue if you really want to live!

[amygdalae]

['Privileged' is probably the last thing Bruce is

but yes he's more than happy to drop this as long as there is NO MORE BIRD EATING.]

[captainobnoxious]

Considering how against every one seems to the thought of it, it's not unfounded. I'll make the person who does it take responsibility myself if it happens. That's how we do it back home.

[cherryblooded]

...What about me says 'incapable'?

[Sure, he's not feeling a hundred percent right now, but he's not a total weakling...]

[garudynamic]

If he hurt my friends or my family, I won't forgive him.

[There's a glimpse of steel there, his voice finally steadying, gaze narrowing. Promising nothing but hurt if he got the chance]

[amygdalae]

...I guess I should thank you for providing us with a channel for communication, at least.

[Even if.............. its probably not the best...........]

[captainobnoxious]

You made a whole star?

[Wooow. That's impressive, however it's done.]

Why?
