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."

Do you want to count the number of people throwing tantrums and try again...?

[samsa]

I would be worried if everyone was being calm about being held someplace against their will, if you want my opinion...

[He sighs.]

It's harder to respect someone who's done that to you, I think. We don't even know who you are beyond your name.

[antitrust]

Oh, believe me, I know, and I'm not faulting any of them for their behavior per se. I'm simply pointing out that you're all a little bad at knowing how to get results.

You know what's necessary about me. Unless you're suggesting that I put one of those profiles up for myself.

[samsa]

[......]

Is that something you could do? It would be helpful, if you could.

[antitrust]

[...]

I don't see why not.

[samsa]

[Kaneki actually smiles a little at that, pleased that he...accomplished something, at least.]

Thank you. It's appreciated.

[antitrust]

It'll be there tomorrow morning.

[samsa]

I'll be looking for it, then.

[sunsong]

Oh, nice one!

[ SLUGS HIM ON THE ARM IN A FRIENDLY MANNER ]

[samsa]

[O-OW]

A-ah...thanks...

[sunsong]

[ MAN UP, KANEKS ]

I've decided I like you! You can be my friend.

[ congrats ]

[samsa]

[A+ Five stars kaneks]

I...I'm glad, Sol-san.

[sunsong]

Yeah? You should be! I'm pretty great company.

[ ...well someone thinks highly of herself, doesn't she... ]

And I'll make sure you don't lose your other eye! See, I'm great like that.

[ sol what the fuck ]

[samsa]

[Sol oh my god]

I...appreciate that.

[He's honestly not sure what else to say but man he'd much rather be in good standing with people, as opposed to the opposite.]

Hopefully you won't have to worry about it, though...

[sunsong]

What happened to your eye, anyway?

[ things you shouldn't just ask people ]

[samsa]

[He pauses for a moment, glancing down. His left hand rises to touch his chin as he answers with a small shake of his head.]

Infection. Not...really anything I could help.

[sunsong]

That sucks. At least you didn't get it like, torn out by a monster or something, though.

[ com...fort? ]

[samsa]

[...if you only knew, Sol.]

It's...unpleasant, but it could be worse.

[sunsong]

...So what's your favorite color?

[ MAYBE SHE FINALLY REALIZED THAT TOPIC WAS RUDE? ]

[blazeit]

[ Guess what fucko has been listening in on this one and is now attempting to communicate to Kaneki purely through intense staring look, this Conductor asshole apparently doesn't think you're a belligerent asshole, get him to put a profile up for himself and you will be the most useful person here? Yep, this one.

Probably he mostly just looks like he's glaring, though. ]

[samsa]

[There is so much glaring going on here but he is trying very hard so please bear with him Katsuki-san]

[blazeit]

[ Kaneki, you're the most useful person here and

well

You know how sometimes people just look kinda terrifying when they smile? Like there's a vaguely predatory sense to it? Yeah, that's the kind of smile Bakugou shoots at Kaneki.

... But there's also a thumbs-up, if that helps temper things... ]

[samsa]

[...that smile actually sends a chill rushing down his spine, but at the same time he can somehow tell that it's not...particularly malicious? I mean, if thumbs up is anything to go by.

All he can think to do is just weakly return the gesture, because what else do you do?]

[blazeit]

[ Make all the jerks here think you're pretty alright, that's what!!! That's exactly what Kaneki wants, right. ]

[samsa]

[It's not what he'd planned but sure, let's get jerk bingo while we're at it.]
