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."

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

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

[captainobnoxious]

[Welcome.]

Big, black, and with as many arms as you can imagine. Teeth that count so high you lose track when you try. Quick on their many feet and with a knife through their disgusting skulls.

[





what ]

What?

[captainobnoxious]

Trolls, beasts, and giants. I can't live without them and no one can live with them. So it's up to me to kill them.

[lackinginfaith]

You still don't have to make it sound like you're talking about something else.

[captainobnoxious]

What else could I be talking about?

[lackinginfaith]

You either have the dirtiest mind I've ever seen or no sense of the flow of a conversation, Miss It's-Not-Technically-Cannibalism.

[penduli]

I think it's the latter.

[captainobnoxious]

It's not cannibalism. Sheesh, don't get stuck on that, just move on.

[lackinginfaith]

Pretty big thing to not want to stick on.

[captainobnoxious]

If it's not to your tastes it's not to your tastes, but I won't be the one starving if something happens to our food supplies.

[lackinginfaith]

No, you'll be playing into this ego-tripping supposed saviour's game.

[captainobnoxious]

Hey, if you're gonna play aim to win. That's how survival is. And if our two options is "live" or "die" I'm on the living side, simple as that.

[lackinginfaith]

So you believe him.

[captainobnoxious]

Haven't got a choice. Though he's dodgy as hell and inconvenient to a point where I'm ready for my final question to be if I can clock him when we meet him, there's no way out and no place to go. Might as well weigh our options and accept what we have in front of us.

And hey, if it's all a bluff and our homes are safe, there's nothing wrong with anyone, then good. If not, well. You know.

[ bBBUT WE WEREN'T EVEN ]

I thought we were talking about romantic interests, not... er... quarry?

[captainobnoxious]

I love my work. And they're at the top of my hit list.

[penduli]

...right. [ ... ] You really have trolls and the like in your world?

[ if so: their worlds aren't too different. Granted, their monsters are, but... anyway. ]

[captainobnoxious]

Yup, and they're as disgusting as you could ever imagine them being. They're caused by the Illness.
