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
."

[Well, after freezing up and catching about half of the conversations going on around her- Ashley looks up at...something, oh, she doesn't like having no face to look at because even if this is not Hannah's voice it makes her feel like she's talking to a--]

C-Conductor, sir, are- are you, um... A-are you a ghost? Because I did not mean to s-summon anything or do anything to disturb you or make you unhappy, I swear!

[It starts off a little soft and stammery, but she gets more insistent with every word.]
hashtagafreakingghost: my eyes are open now (a fool's devotion was set in motion)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-02 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
You...nothing to do with Hannah, or... Oh.

[Oh! ...Oh. Does this make her feel better or not?? This is the most unsettling moment here so far, give her a moment, Conductor.]

B-but- you're the guy, the one from the lodge, right?! You're the- where's Josh, I didn't see him!
hashtagafreakingghost: nothing waiting in the silence below (always empty in the house of every other)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-02 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[And she should probably follow up on that but- but there's something else and she can't help but be. So very curious about it.]

...Why do you keep calling everyone those? Discerning, or...Ardent, or whatever the heck. You know our names. Is it...more convenient for you? Whoever...you are.
hashtagafreakingghost: (not the past that you're afraid to see)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-02 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
N-no, it just-- [How can I have good judgment after what happened last year? But I didn't mean to, is that what you're saying? It still counts? It still--] ...surprised me.

[She swallows.]

You really don't know where my friends are?
hashtagafreakingghost: (think my friend said "i hear footsteps")

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-02 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Did something happen? I mean, y-you... you... you knocked me out, and I thought you got Josh too.

[This is incredibly surreal, talking to her captor over the PA of an unfamiliar school.]
hashtagafreakingghost: (her blood runs hot to cold)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-02 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Uh]

...The lodge. In the lodge! Josh was screaming, a-and I went to go and see what was happening, and- that's the last thing I remember, a man in a mask knocked me out and now I'm here, so that was you, wasn't it?!

[...she is starting to get more and more panicked with every word.]
hashtagafreakingghost: i'd miss you too much‚ boy (don't ever leave‚ boy)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-03 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Well she's completely and entirely freaked out now and her mouth is dry and it feels like she can't even feel her skin so??]

Oh. O-oh. Th-that was someone e-else. O-kay. Okay then.

[it's time to hide away in the room she woke up in]
housenurse: (first you pound the fish flat)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-11-02 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[oh, no, this girl seems really distressed... which is something, considering that everyone's distressed. so, Sukuyo goes up to her and gently puts a hand on her arm.]

You okay, hon?
hashtagafreakingghost: and wait here in the dark for tomorrow (you run from your shadow)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-02 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[A HAND ON HER ARM IT'S A GHOoh it's one of the others oh well, please excuse that little gasp of fear then.

Ashley's getting very tired of answering this question because the answer is, every single time, in some form:]
No. I don't want to be here at all.
housenurse: (it don't hurt)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-11-02 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[at the gasp, she holds her arm just a little tighter. if it didn't feel so forward, she'd hug the poor girl... all these young girls are reminding her so much of Mako...]

None of us do. But, it's okay! As long as we all stick together, we'll get out of this just fine!
hashtagafreakingghost: serve to remind me (the stains of blood on the floor)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-02 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Fine?! [Oh dear. Ashley's voice cracks and that seems to make her even worse.] That old guy said he wanted to kill all of us, how can we stick together and be fine?! Someone's going to- I don't want to die yet, I don't!
housenurse: (quel dommage)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-11-02 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Shh, honey, calm down! No one's going to die! What's one old geezer against almost thirty other people?
hashtagafreakingghost: before the past is done repeating (i'm not the only one that's bleeding)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-02 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I bet he's not just the only one! S-so many people could, just- ohhh, I can't stand this!
housenurse: (prepared in the classic technique)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-11-02 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not going to happen! Don't you see how everyone's arguing with him? We're all determined to find a way out of here without killing anyone! And being determined is the first step towards actually doing something!
hashtagafreakingghost: he says ("intuition is awakening suspicion")

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-02 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Th-they are? They...are, aren't they? I was so scared I just... [Started jumping to the worst conclusions......]

Okay. Okay, right. Out of here, in one piece. Sure.
housenurse: (sacrebleu)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-11-03 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay, hon. I think everyone's pretty scared. [smiles gently] I know I am. We just need to stay positive and concentrate on getting ourselves out of here, okay?
hashtagafreakingghost: i need you to know (though it brings me to tears now)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-03 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Positive. Yeah, right. [If she starts crying again swear to god.] Oh, God, you don't need this. Thank you, ma'am, f-for...trying to make sure I don't snap or something.
housenurse: (you'll love me at once)

[personal profile] housenurse 2015-11-03 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
There'll be no snapping on my watch! Just try to stay calm, okay?
hashtagafreakingghost: i wanna go home (she said i wanna go home)

[personal profile] hashtagafreakingghost 2015-11-04 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Easier said than done...
