Induction.

[antitrust]

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."

That's unfortunate.

[heymcfly]

Instead of just talkin' about it why don't you actually do something about it? Are you the one who made those profiles?

[antitrust]

I am, yes.

I'm not going to do anything about it because that would defeat the point of the exercise. I believe I gave you ample time to acquaint yourself with the rules, isn't that right...?

[heymcfly]

What the hell is wrong with you?

Who the hell says I'm gonna do anything about it? You think we're gonna listen to your rules after you kidnap us? Are you stupid?

[antitrust]

If you don't, that's a perfectly valid course of action. You're more than welcome to decide your own fate.

[heymcfly]

So where are you at, then? Seems only fair that Participants meet the Conductor or whatever. Let's see who you are.

[antitrust]

That's inconvenient for the time being.

Get far enough into the exercise and perhaps I'll allow it, though.

[heymcfly]

Probably not for you, though.

What happens if I don't?

[antitrust]

Let's hope that things don't go quite that poorly, shall we?

[heymcfly]

Bite me, asshole.
