You've all had some time to get to know each other; whether or not you're all getting along is another matter. Either way, one thought pattern seems to be pretty prevalent, no matter what you think of this entire situation –

Where, exactly, is the Conductor?

That question isn't going to be answered in full, even now; if you were hoping to work out exactly who the Conductor is...well, that's not going to be readily answered, either. What you are going to get, however, is the sound of that public address box mounted into the wall somewhere above your heads crackling to life; it's staticky and a little grating at first, like someone's fiddling with the volume control somewhere, but eventually it clears up.

"Ah, is it..?"

It's a little uncertain at first, but that, too, clears up soon enough; it's a male voice, at least that much is discernible.

"Greetings to the lot of you, the new class at Graceside Academy; I trust you've familiarized yourself with the rules.

"You can call me the Conductor."

[ Okay, a lot of the questions she had have already been asked. There is one thing she really wants to know, though: ]

Hey! Train guy! Did you or someone else hurt people back home when you dragged us here?

[ And why the fuck can't she remember. ]

I can't speak for anyone else. But if anyone was harmed in the place where you came from, it wasn't my doing.

[ Ughhhhh that doesn't really answer what she needs to know but it's pointless to antagonize the voice in the ceiling right now...if only because some of the others seem to have that down pat. ]

You're following the rules or whatever, right? If we have needs that aren't currently being met, can we ask you to fill them? It's not "let us the fuck out", though I wouldn't turn that down.

[ She crosses her arms, staring at a wall since it's not like she can see the guy's face. ]

That old man [ cabanela ] showed up with injuries, and there wasn't shit to treat him really; we had to improvise. To meet our needs to the best of this facility's ability, can we get a first aid kit or something like that? Schools are supposed to have that shit, aren't they?

Yes. Part of my purpose in being here is ensuring that you're provided for - as such, I've agreed to provide Ardent with the supplies necessary to treat that. He should have them by morning.

[ okay, at least that's something. Sol mentally checks that off the list of shit she was worried about. There's a small pause. ]

...Yeah, okay, thanks for that. [ she guesses??? he's slightly more tolerable than kiga so far but that's saying absolutely nothing at all. ]

About rule 9 [ because that's the creepiest one ] who's supposed to determine if the guilty party is found or not?

[ ??? Sol would like to believe no one would go for it but SIDE-EYES RICK. ]

Ideally speaking, it wouldn't be a problem, would it?

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Ideally, no. I know I'm not going to fuckin' take a life, but clearly not everyone gets the value of it.

[ AGAIN, SIDE-EYES RICK. ]

How'd you fuckin' land a job like this? Do they advertise it in the papers? "Wanted: one cryptic guy to kidnap eclectic group of strangers liable to shout at everything."

[ humor helps her cope ok ]

[...That sound might have been him stifling a laugh away from the intercom mic, um.]

No, no, I volunteered. It's a matter of knowing the right sort of people and being the wrong sort of talented.

[ achievement unlocked!! apparently if nothing else sol is good at being amusing... ]

Do you get a dental plan or anything? [ SOL, YOU COULD TRY TO ASK SOMETHING USEFUL????? Be like Luna, you can do it ]

Being the wrong sort of talented is never a barrel of laughs.

It's nothing to complain about where I'm from, either, admittedly.

You just have to be careful regarding what you do with it.

Yeah. I know that now.

[ Too late, her mind supplies. She knows it now, too late to erase anything that had happened before. ]

What's the place you're from like? Or is that somethin' you're required to be all cryptic as fuck about?

At this point, it's everything I could possibly ask for.

So cryptic as f - heck it is.

[ SHE GOT SCOLDED BY LUNA FOR LANGUAGE, SO...let's see how many minutes she remembers this time. ]

Can I ask why you gave me "Adversarial"?

Do you disagree with it?

That's not it, exactly. I just wanted to know if I got it right as to why you picked it.

[ since someone asked her about it and she gave her best guess. ]

Is it opposite Luna's?

It is, yes.

[ SCORE, she told Asuka that was probably what it was. ]

I knew it!! Go figure we have matchin' titles like we have matching everything else.

[ Mirrored more than matching, but hey... ]

Did you have fun picking them out?
