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.]

[ENORMOUS SIGH but Brett's a professional purveyor of information, so:]

An incel is a man who feels entitled to attention from women, and gets angry or violent when they don't get it. It's short for "involuntarily celibate".

[kninja]

Ohhhh. Those guys. We have words for them, too, but I'm not gonna say 'em with young ladies in the room.

[inaclearing]

Of course, they've always existed. This is just a specific...club of them online or something.

[Jonathan looks absolutely upset by this definition.]

What a horrid sort of man! Who on Earth would see this "Read it" if it was populated by such loathsome creatures.

[inaclearing]

There's a lot of stuff on there, I guess...

[Brett's not really a Redditor.]

[dullshooter]

[…]

There is something very wrong with your species.

[inaclearing]

Yeah.

[I mean what can you say?]

[fuckingguy]

Yes, what Brett has just said.

[specialyellthing]

We had a different kinda word for guys like that during the war.

I’m not repeatin it on account of the young ladies in the room, but I’ll leave it open for imagination.

[prompocalypse]

...Well, now I'm curious.

[specialyellthing]

If you behave this week, I'll tell ya.

[prompocalypse]

But I've been behaving the last three weeks! C'monnn.

[allatonce]

Aw, I was having fun watching them argue about it.
