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."

[OKAY. FINE. She had skimmed them before but now she's reading them with gusto looking for that keyword of how to get OUT. She doesn't like what she finds.]

This- You can't expect us to do this. What kind of exercise is this? If it's okay to leave then just let us out!

[She stomps a foot. This is such BS.]

[kingmakereffect]

The rules are in place for a reason, Perceiving.

[Breathe, Lynne, breathe. All she wants to do is scream but that won't help. It's not like she 100% believes him but...]

Can you at least tell us how long it has been?

[kingmakereffect]

I can't give you an exact time frame, but it hasn't been very long.

[wokeupdead]

[What's even the point of waking up in a post-apocalyptic vault if it hasn't even been 100 years since the end of the world? However, "hasn't been very long: fills her with dread and yet hope at the same time, even though they've already lost precious hours here as it is.]

I see. [But this doesn't make sense still. She will tuck away those feelings to gather some info.] If what you're saying is the truth why would you encourage violence? That doesn't seem like a very "we saved your life" kind of thing to do.

[kingmakereffect]

...It's complicated.

Besides, you don't have to resort to violence. That's just one option.

[wokeupdead]

What's the other option? Just live here like you said earlier? [SHE'S OPTIMISTIC, NOT DUMB.] Someone's going to want to get out of here eventually. Not like I'll let anyone follow through with it but it's written in the rules and everything. Just who's running this place? It cant be you alone.

[kingmakereffect]

One question at a time, please.

[wokeupdead]

[RRRR. Fine.]

Can you share anything about who's behind all this? Other than you.

[kingmakereffect]

It's just me.

[wokeupdead]

[THAT'S A LOAD OF BULL.

And she's officially too done with all these wishy washy LIES. Cause the have to be. Bye!! And she stomps off.]
