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.]

I couldn't imagine.

[ ... ]

He's not your type then, is he?

[howveryglib]

Not particularly, no. I tend to prefer people who are perhaps a bit more... combat-oriented.

[it was tempting to say "less delicate" but he doesn't want to be mean to jonathan...]

[hotpaprika]

[He looks really envious that he's just able to talk about sexuality like that.]

[buriedstar]

Now that makes complete sense.

[ But good for you Gaius, knowing what you like! ]

[howveryglib]

I will say there have been exceptions that have surprised me, but not necessarily in this case.

[hotpaprika]

[Okay now he's less envious and more baffled.]

You are aware that I'm right here, right?

[He sounds somewhat hurt.]

[howveryglib]

…Ah, forgive me. I will cease this line of conversation.

[buriedstar]

[ Laughing discreetly but not discreetly into his hand. ]

A man that knows what he likes is a powerful one~. But I can understand sampling what comes your way too.

[howveryglib]

…I am not quite certain I would put it that way. But I keep an open mind, yes.

[kninja]

That your type, too, then?

[buriedstar]

Not quite~. My partners need to bring something to the table, reciprocally of course, but that doesn't mean it needs to be in the combat area. I have enough fire power on my own.

[kninja]

Kinda transactional of you, huh? Noted.

[buriedstar]

Hmm, it's more based on plenty of experience. I had to leave the first guild I was part of because the guild leader's girlfriend fell head over heels for me.

[ It was messy.

Transactions help the mess? Maybe. ]
