Meeting Time!

[hotpaprika]

[On Wednesday morning, all the suites will find another note slid under their door. It seems much less formal this time, but the handwriting is still very distinct.]

I am holding another meeting today, at 5 o'clock. I am terribly sorry for the the location this time, but it will be in the dressing rooms at the department store, as that is one of the few places I could find that we would not be watched.

I ask, however, that you don't all come in at once, because I fear that otherwise, it could catch Fontaine's attention and may add further security measures.

I will be providing refreshments, although I welcome any additional help.

[The dressing rooms are, obviously, a very not ideal place to hold a meeting, but Jonathan had somewhat set things up so that they could at least talk to each other, with all the curtains pulled back and one stall reserved for some cakes and sandwiches. He politely greets everyone who enters but it's clear that he's somewhat wary from the motive.

When everyone arrives, he once again addresses the group.]

Good evening. I am sure last week was an icy shock to everyone that Fontaine is not content to let us live about in harmony. However, it is vital that we do not give up hope that we can find a way out of here, because when we do, Fontaine will have already won.

[He's trying to convince himself this as much as he's trying to convince everyone else.]

[ Well! Seems the Undertaker isn't withholding information this time. Not when he doesn't have too much to offer... Or maybe he's trying to distract himself as well? Who knows. ]

Do any of you know where this Unova place is? I found the name stamped on some of the products here.

[dullshooter]

It’s not any planet I’ve heard of…

[specialyellthing]

Sounds like the evil version of a place called Ova. [she's not being funny here. i hate dc comics.]

[giddyundertaker]

I'm not sure where that place is either! Certainly didn't show up while I was poking around, though...

Ah, and it seems the cashiers left their money in the till. It's like they up and left without much warning.

[fuckingguy]

Un-over...?

[kninja]

Never heard of it. Which products, though?

[giddyundertaker]

Ah... I don't remember that. Luckily, we only have to walk out of the dressing rooms to check.

[kninja]

Oh, stuff here-here, in the store. That reminds me! I kept an eye on the kitchen supplies like you asked. Looks like those get restocked every few days.

[hotpaprika]

That's quite peculiar. Why would the supplies need to be restocked when there is only twenty three of us here?

[kninja]

A lot of us cook, I guess?

[giddyundertaker]

Fresh supplies, I suppose. That, and we're being held here indefinitely, so a finite amount of food would eventually get used up.

[bootyhunter]

There's a couple of NOVA-galaxy contingents back where I'm from, but this doesn't sound at all like the same thing.

[vholran]

No.

[ ... for once, Vholran is here at one of these 'meetings'. Amazing, but unfortunately he has no insight into this. ]

[daimakaicho]

Not anything I'm familiar with.

[allatonce]

............ Sounds familiar. I don't remember which 'verse it was, though.

[giddyundertaker]

Ah!

[ FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO MIGHT SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE MATTER! ]

Can you remember enough to explain what that place was like?

[allatonce]

Pretty sure it was one of the ones with animals.

[To everyone else, this statement is nonsense. Every world has animals. To her, this does actually narrow down the number of universes it could be because she knows life evolved on it.]

[giddyundertaker]

What sort of animals?

[ Can you please be more specific, Miss Multiverse Hopper? ]

[allatonce]

I dunno. Animals. Look, you go as many places as me and they all sort of blend together.

[And also she doesn't remember anything past Gen 2, despite having played them all.]

[giddyundertaker]

Ah. Fair... Quite the traveler, aren't you?

[ Pokemon wasn't even invented yet in his time. She still knows more about it than he does. ]

[allatonce]

It is sort of my job.

[It is not and this is the funniest thing she keeps telling people.]
