SWITCHBOARD - PRIVATE

[antitrust]

So I heard you wanted a conference call.

[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.]
