Induction.

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."

Whether they should or not isn't my concern. I'm not a king.

[notjustawriter]

You lookin' to crown a king?

[kingmakereffect]

In a manner of speaking.

[sleepingkogoro]

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

[kingmakereffect]

One question at a time, please.

[sleepingkogoro]

[Mouri grits his teeth. The Kingmaker really knew how to be infuriating]

Why do you need a King?

[kingmakereffect]

I don't. I gave you all the option of staying or leaving.

[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.

[amygdalae]

Somebody who thinks another person's life is more valuable than another doesn't deserve that kind of authority or power.

[He agrees with you 100%, Aqua.]

[prismbloom]

I agree. If someone is crowned king, then who's to say they won't do the same exact thing if they escape?

[amygdalae]

If probably will give them more incentive to do the same thing instead of anything else.

[prismbloom]

Then this "game" will never end. We can't allow it to continue.

[amygdalae]

We need to stop it before it begins.

[prismbloom]

We will. I'm sure of it.
