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.]

no subject
[Which is both an explanation for why she sometimes says things and can't follow up on them, the other half of a rabbit hole stored in a distant and unreachable place she can't reach right now, and a confirmation of what he's asking.]
It's kind of weird. I don't actually love it, if I'm being honest.
[Sometimes your movie is about having unmedicated ADHD and you're going through a med adjustment period.]
no subject
Were you hoping that you would?
no subject
... No, I just thought it would be nice to feel anything at all.
no subject
H'okay, come on now! I'm pretty sure we can guarantee you've been pissed at me, like, a bajillion times since we've got here.
That's a feeling, right?
[Even if it's not a very pleasant one.]
Or didja want it to be more like butterflies...?
[The particular feeling in question.]
Y'know, the kind that flit around in your tummy when someone cute happens to be passing by?
