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.]

Hey, that’s no way to think about it. They could decide to kill together.

Ah, yes! I hadn't considered that...

But if they kill together and get caught, who would be sentenced to death? The one who made the final blow or the accomplice who did most of the work?

Not a clue. Guess that’s a question we can save for Fontie, hopefully before it becomes relevant.

Right. I'd hope someone asks him about that sooner than later.

[personal profile] specialyellthing 2022-06-29 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd hope no one does!
giddyundertaker: (What's the last thing they did say?)

[personal profile] giddyundertaker 2022-06-29 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd say we'd better find out before we have to ask during a trial! You remember what happened to that Hodoka boy, don't you? Things may have gone differently if he knew what happens to killers who get caught... Or if we can't catch a killer...

How could I forget?

Now that we know those part, no one should be thinkin' on it still. I know someone may still, but--

That's part of the reason sticking together could be a good idea. As Mr. Undertaker and Misfire are pointing out, it's not perfect, but it's a lot harder to take out two people unawares than one alone.
