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."

[ ........... well ]

You're not wrong there, I guess. Quails are pretty popular food-wise. [ black no.... ] It looks like we've got anything we'd ever want in the kitchen though, so we probably wouldn't have to eat Consc... er, The King.

[captainobnoxious]

Yeah, that's true, we're pretty well stocked. Enough food to last us a few lifespans. Which is what's intended, I guess.

[...]

Say, kitten, what're your thoughts on having kids?

[penduli]

[












WHAT ]

C--come again?

[captainobnoxious]

Well, if we're surviving for lifespans and this guy thinks we're either gonna sit here and look pretty or kill each other to escape, then there's gotta be repopulation. You've gotta be able to nut up or shut up.

[LITERALLY.]

[ignorantly]

[ sigrun w h y ]

...Isn't it too soon to start thinking about makin' babies?

[captainobnoxious]

[gotta be prepared, recruit]

It's that or killing someone.

[ignorantly]

We haven't even been here a day yet.

[penduli]

[ NNNNNN CAN WE NOT TALK ABOUT THIS

CAN WE NOT??? CAN WE. ]

I, er... I'm not really interested in the idea? I'm not against it, but I think I'd like to be a little older, and I'd rather adopt? [ .....that's not. really gonna pan out here, is it. ] What about you?

[captainobnoxious]

I'll have kids someday, but I have more important work to do first. Being an only child gives you that responsibility right between the legs.

[Though... that isn't gonna work out here...]

There's plenty of other women besides me here, so I'll just protect everyone. No one here's really my type anyway.

[penduli]

[ GOD SHE'S SO CRASS..... ]

What is your type? [ BLACK, WITH ALL THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TODAY. ]

[psychoh]

[jesus he can practically feel Mother's loathing of this girl.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT DISGUSTING THINGS...]

[captainobnoxious]

[beCAUSE it's a REALITY, NORMAN!!!]

[psychoh]

[REALITY IS GROSS AS HELL]

[isafraid]

[why]

We just woke up here!

[captainobnoxious]

You're all so stuck on the weirdest things. There's clearly no visible way out, so we have to bide our time anyway. What's the harm in making some back up plans and getting our facts straight?

[isafraid]

I'm saying if we actually stick around this mess of a place long enough for that plan to come to fruition, then we'll all be driven crazy before we can get on with it!

[ He's just going to inch away. ]

[amygdalae]

[come to Bruce King

he won't eat you

promise]

[neverafters]

[ trot trot trot

HIDES BEHIND... ]

[amygdalae]

[there there

feel free to use him as your human shield any day.]

[penduli]

[ ...........OH NO ]

I've never had quail in my life. [ ...probably. he probably ate more mutton than anything. ] A--and, er... you don't eat royalty, so royal bird isn't on the menu either?



[ HE'S TRYING SO HARD. LOOK AT THIS SMILE. PL..EASE. ]

[neverafters]

The King is... grateful...

[ But he still sounds so unsure, and now he's going to be worried about all the non-royal birds................ ]

[penduli]

[ oh no....... this is terrible... ]

Sorry. [ ..........UH, you know, speaking of food. ] Er, Your Majesty? What do you eat?

[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]

[ 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.
