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."

[ sigrun PLEASE. ]

[captainobnoxious]

[...]

Ooookay then. Nice to meet you. I guess.

[penduli]

[ ...can he just

have one conversation that isn't awkward, somehow. ]

Nice to meet you too. [ .....okay. ]

[captainobnoxious]

Yeah, but now you've gone and put in everyone's head! You're practically an accomplice.

[isafraid]

[sigh.]

[ratingspoint]

There's a difference between not caring and being largely disinterested, not that I expect you to appreciate subtlety.

[kingmakereffect]

Don't break those either.

[SIGRUN!!!!]

[captainobnoxious]

Right, because someone who loudly critiques the aesthetic of a place they first find themselves in is subtle. Seriously, think how hard he must've worked on this place. You're practically the first one to go.

[ratingspoint]

And if I am?

[seriously, is he supposed to be bothered by this. is this supposed to upset him in some way.]

[isafraid]

It's not like I started talking about it that way.

[yes]

[captainobnoxious]

Then I guess I'll be finding myself up for punishment.

[Because Sigrun's sure it's gonna be worth shutting this goddamn machine up.]</small.

[devastation]

[That stings a bit, considering... well, she didn't exactly do a good job of being protective by being the only survivor among her loved ones, did she?]

Excuse me, but can I ask why you're calling me that? [What's with the titles here, anyway?]

[captainobnoxious]

Hey, I just tossed it at the wall, you're the one who brought up smashing it into a skull.

[bloodisthicker]

...You do realize this reality and not some sort of cut rate radio drama, right?

...not that I don't agree with you in her case, because I'm becoming quite certain that if she tried to lead us out of a paper bag it would somehow end up a disaster, but the point remains.

[ratingspoint]

[oh my god, he's just going to laugh at that, wow.]

You're so angry, I love it!

Really, darling, save the passion for someone who's actually trying to kill you. It'll probably do you some good.

[ratingspoint]

Oh, come on! Everyone in the room can see she's asking for it!

[Holy shit, there goes the boundless and completely inappropriate enthusiasm again.]

Screaming about how we're all going to resort to cannibalism like it's something she's planning on doing tomorrow, trying to repopulate such a small and closely-packed area like that's not going to lead to overcrowding, openly deciding which of us count as people and which don't? That's the stance she's taking while announcing she's going to be our resident guardian and paragon of authority?

Say what you want about my logic. At this rate, she'll die just to shut her up.

[captainobnoxious]

Can't wait until you're scrap metal. I'll shake hands with the person who gets to you before I do.

[ratingspoint]

Our esteemed wannabe leader, beauties and gentlebeauties! Threatening to kill anyone that she can't think fast enough to argue with!

You heard it here first, straight from the horse's mouth.

[wokeupdead]

[Lynne left her own phone in her room but-]

We had something like that around? Why do we need portable phones when phone booths work fine?

[isafraid]

Whatever it is, it means he'd still have to accept his licks one way or another. [Though his gaze was falling on those rules as well...]

Although I get the feeling he'll not be showing his mug around here for now. ...Maybe that's for the best.

[isafraid]

No I didn't! Sticking words in my mouth like that is plain unfair.

[kingmakereffect]

You can ask, but I don't have an answer for you.

[bloodisthicker]

See, now, I like that sort of can-do attitude. I think that's definitely what we should be focusing on right now... along with other ways to get out, of course.

[paidinblood]

[...Is this lady for real.]

What kind of world do you come from?

[bloodisthicker]

Then it's best to figure out how to deal with those people, isn't it?
