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. VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS, like: ]

Our kitchen's very well-stocked and seems pretty state-of-the-art--that's really nice of you, by the way. [ he... is not bothered by the fact they don't have a dishwasher at all, actually. he likes doing dishes by hand! ] So... why don't we have a washing machine or something?

[ the important questions. ]

A washing machine isn't necessary. The laundry room you have is sufficient.

But a set of top-of-the-line appliances is. [ /disbelief. ] You could've just given us the bare necessities there too, so why didn't you?

Do you want this place to catch on fire? Personally, I'd rather avoid that.

It's made of concrete and metal. I doubt it'd catch on fire so easily. [ Haha...... ] But... all right. Why do we have a vending machine that looks brand new instead of a washing machine? What's so necessary about that?

Do you have a problem with the vending machine? I thought you all might enjoy it.

We'd enjoy a washing machine more, I'm sure.

Unfortunately, you won't be getting one.

...all right.

[ you may have won this fight but you haven't won the war. #give us a washing machine 2k16 ]

What's in the vending machine?

You'll have to put in some coins and find out.

Where or how do we get these coins, exactly?

You'll have to keep an eye out for them.

[ So they'll just find them lying around.

...okay. ]

I think that's about it--oh, er... You said our phones could contact you, right? [ B|b good on that one guy for asking. ] Are we allowed to do so at any time about anything we want, or are there restrictions on that?

There are no restrictions. You may contact me whenever you wish.

[Those posts will be opened up tomorrow!]

I enjoyed trying to knock it around, but that thing is heavy. What's behind it?

Nothing important. Please don't break the vending machine.

So there is something behind it! Kitten and I were right. I even bet it's the way out, isn't it?

[ ...UM-- ]

I didn't mention this before, but my name's not Kitten, it's Black.

... You look pretty pale to me.

[ Fffffffkkk he

doesn't know what to say to this. ]

[No answer...]

I'm Sigrun.

[Yes.]

No, it isn't. There's nothing back there. If you break the vending machine you aren't getting another one.

[SIGRUN PLEASE.........]

[KINGMAKER, PLEASE!!!]

Aww. What if we break the doodads in the kitchen?

Don't break those either.

[SIGRUN!!!!]

If we manage to blow open the metal doors, wall, etc etc, do we win?
