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."

That's this whole mess... shrunk right down to a single word. ['why' would probably suffice as well.]

It all stinks worse then a rats breeding ground.

[cherryblooded]

Now, now. That's insulting to rats.

[He's met some... decent rats in his day.]

[isafraid]

[Casual reminder for Speedwagon that he's talking to a lobster person...]

Have to say, I've know a few rats in my lifetime, and they weren't half the trouble this is.

[...He means Humans though. Not actual rats.]

[cherryblooded]

[He knows Speedwagon means humans, but it's funny all the same.]

Exactly. This Kingmaker is in a league of his own.

[isafraid]

In all my years I never seen the like. If I didn't know better, I'd say he's the worst I've heard of so far.

[...It feels oddly right, saying that. But it's not like an average criminal that kidnaps twenty-seven people and sets them off into a little experiment while "saving" them.]

All the more reason to prove his reasoning wrong, I'd say.

[cherryblooded]

I look forward to us all escaping with our lives.

[That'll sure show him.]

[isafraid]

[Wait'll they see the dumb look on his face.]

Heh... first time I've been apart of a real effort like this. Feels kind of nice.

[cherryblooded]

Usually a lone wolf?

[Not literally, of course.]

[isafraid]

Sorta. Living a life like I do, you have to learn fast who's your friend, and who's going to stab you in the back tomorrow. I've always had a couple of mates I can trust around to have my back in case a moment turns rotten.

[But, seeing as the obvious is obvious...]

'Cept now, I'm alone. Got to adapt quickly, you know?

[cherryblooded]

I'm sure you'll see your friends again.

[Because this world destroying stuff is BS.]

[isafraid]

[It's pretty bs yo.]

Best if I do. Can't have anyone mourning old Speedwagon just yet, don't think I'd be able to take it.

[cherryblooded]

I feel the same way. I don't intend to leave my wife a widow, I couldn't bear it.

[He does believe in ghosts, since... pretty supernatural world. So he really means it.]
