SWITCHBOARD - PRIVATE

[antitrust]

So I heard you wanted a conference call.

[ Oh shit, someone actually broke the rules enough to get killed.

... Jean glances at Bakugou again, but this time it's mostly because he can't help but notice that he's still alive. What the hell was this girl like to get herself into that sort of trouble? ]

Which round are we?

[blazeit]

[ HE SEES THAT LOOK AND KNOWS WHAT JEAN IS THINKING AND THAT IS RUDE. He follows the rules. In fact, he feels like it's pretty difficult to break the rules consistently... ]

... And they were the same rules as ours?

[antitrust]

You're the second; the initial rules were more or less the same, perhaps with some differences in wording here and there. Nothing to change the severity of what she did, however.

[openterrain]

Which was what, exactly? [ Come on, Conductor, don't leave us hanging. ]

[blazeit]

Did she try attacking you during a trial or something, is that why you stand behind the glass.

[antitrust]

More or less, actually, though that isn't the entire reason.

Either way, while I didn't kill them all personally, she was certainly one that I did.

[openterrain]

[ Woah, hold on there. ] So everyone from the last exercise died?

[blazeit]

Okay, and... what's the rest of the reason?

[antitrust]

I really don't think the rest of the reason is any of your concern.

The point is that yes, the rest of them died.

[openterrain]

[ Oh fuck. ] What the hell...? Did they just keep murdering each other until there was no one left? How many of them did you kill?

[blazeit]

Not really, but I'm curious anyway.

[ ... Other than that, though, he doesn't have anything else to add. ]

[antitrust]

Again, what happened during the last exercise is really none of your concern.

[And from the sound of it, that's going to be the end of it for today.]

Is there anything else...?

[openterrain]

[ And that makes this a complete dead end. Great.

Jean doesn't want to leave it just yet, however, so he blurts out one last question: ] Is it true you had a big family?

[blazeit]

[ Bakugou has nothing to add here if only because he's giving Jean a look like "what the hell are you doing" combined with "aw yes gratuitous gossip about the Conductor, my fav"...

He's doing a good job investigating important things. ]

[antitrust]

...My family consisted of my sister and myself. That was all.

[Past tense, all of it.]
