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."

[considers this...]

Is that your real name, Kingmaker? If it's not too rude of me to ask. [clearly, the most important thing to know.]

[kingmakereffect]

It isn't rude, no. And no, Kingmaker isn't my real name.

[psychoh]

[WELL GOOD, HE DOESN'T WANNA BE RUDE]

It's an odd nickname to give somebody. [he says, rudely] Unless you've made king-making a habit.

[kingmakereffect]

I wouldn't call it a habit, no.

[psychoh]

Still, even making one king is pretty impressive, I think. Most people, well, they never even make one, not in their whole lives. I don't think I've ever even seen a king before.

[kingmakereffect]

Perhaps you'll see one crowned here.

[psychoh]

... Is that what's going on? If somebody goes through with the, um... the m-murder, and they get away with it... They'll be a king?

[kingmakereffect]

That's right. Though they won't be ruling anything, it's just a nice title.

[psychoh]

That is a nice title...

... But, even if it is, I don't think anybody would... N-Nobody would do something so awful just for something like that. [man he's almost glad Mother didn't come along; everybody in this room would be hella dead already]

[kingmakereffect]

Whether they will or not is up to them. Each of you has to make your own decision about what you will do here.

[psychoh]

[CASUALLY GLANCES AROUND...]

... Huh. [we're all fucked] And you'll just... watch? Just watch it all happen?

[kingmakereffect]

I'm the one providing for you while you're all here, so yes. I'll be watching.

[psychoh]

Hopefully not all the time.

[kingmakereffect]

Don't worry about that. Even I have to sleep sometimes.

[psychoh]

All people do.

[and he's like... 75% sure you're a people???]

[kingmakereffect]

Yes, that's right.

[is he a people we just don't know]
