Meeting Time!

[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.

J. Harker


[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.]

The piece about finding the Founders is interesting. They helped him open up supply lanes to other universes...

[Hm! Hm hm hm...he flips through a few more pages.]

People "worshipped the ground the Founders walked on", but at least the groundskeeper believed they were regular people, although apparently speaking specifically about them could be dangerous in some way. But one of them was the reason all these tapes were made. And they had that key hidden, possibly without Fontaine's knowledge? That's just a theory, but they obviously weren't hiding it from the employees.

[Infighting at the top, perhaps?]

The most information we have about any of them in particular is that one was called "Founder De Cuisine" and he oversaw the restaurant. That probably wasn't his actual name - might've been some kind of nickname or title.
