Induction.

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
."

Taking responsibility can mean all kinds of things! Owning up to something, getting punished for it- oh! Speaking of punishments, what happens if we break a rule?

[Come on, surely they can get the answer to that-]

[Your answers suck. You suck. God damn do you suck.]

Why not? Will you dye our hair in the middle of the night, or do you have something worse in mind?
withabigsmile: (but it's fun beating you fair and square)

It's good to know everything about the rules you're supposed to follow, isn't it?

But I don't know, maybe I'll take your advice! Or maybe we all will. We could all get some good rest in the ballroom tonight! You could make an example out of me, sure, but I bet it would be a real pain to punish all twenty-nine of us.
announcemyvictory: Fuming. (red racing cars)

Miss, are you really going to antagonize our host? We're trapped! What do you think you'll bring down upon us!?
withabigsmile: (a rare moment of niceness huh?)

[personal profile] withabigsmile 2015-11-02 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I don't really know! That's what I'd like to find out.

But as far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with saying whatever we want, right?
announcemyvictory: Smug neutral look. (blue hydrangea)

[personal profile] announcemyvictory 2015-11-02 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yes, and what if he does punish us? Or what if someone here takes the opportunity to "end the exercise" and we're all out in the open and asleep? Think about these things!
withabigsmile: (don't try to butter me up!)

[...There are a handful of ways to respond to that, and she's not going with any of them.]

Alright, alright, you got a point.

[Man, what a tough crowd.]

Honestly, it's good to think about what you're saying...

Well, count me out on your plan!

Suit yourself, Mister! ♥

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-02 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Look at where we are right now. Do you really think he's that concerned about making the effort?

[It must have been a pain to kidnap twenty-nine people too]
withabigsmile: (the heart makes it convincing ♥)

[personal profile] withabigsmile 2015-11-02 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! It's not easy kidnapping this many people. You really think he wants to go through the pain of doing it again?
ninehundredlives: ([ it's just the end of the world ])

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-02 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
He brought us here to watch us die anyway. He's probably planning on that.
withabigsmile: (you sure about that)

[personal profile] withabigsmile 2015-11-02 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
If he brought us here to die, wouldn't it be easier to throw us all in an arena?

[And you know, do as the drunk old man said.]
ninehundredlives: ([ my heart is heavy enough ])

[personal profile] ninehundredlives 2015-11-02 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Not if he wants to see us suffer first.

[Why would anyone ever do as the drunk old man says?]
withabigsmile: (you sayin i ain't flawless)

[Lessons learned today:

-The Conductor is a meanie and a jerk and is a lot more on top of his game than she would like.

-No one in this room can carry a bluff worth shit.]

Fucking with people is truly a talent of yours, isn't it?
withabigsmile: (yes hi do you deliver)

[personal profile] withabigsmile 2015-11-02 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Only with people I don't like!
