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.

[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.]

It feels like too simplistic of an answer.
[It could be that that's the point, but. She's not so sure.]
But I think you may be onto something. I think... whatever this is all about, keeping us in the dark is part of the point.

[Like, if they're being optimistic.] Maybe he doesn't expect us to puzzle out that basic logic.
But more realistically, there's probably a reason. I don't think he's lying about us being tested, but I don't know if the solution to the test is the one he's like... pretending it is?
no subject
Maybe he wants to see just how far he can push us before we tear each other apart. Perhaps turning us all against each other isn't just a means to an end - it's the goal of this whole wretched game.
[ deeply unpleasant to consider! ]
