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.

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.]

[Campania flashbacks intensify?]

Yeah, they did it through a virus.

[giddyundertaker]

[ They did until you mentioned the virus. ]

A virus? What, like some manner of disease?

[sixthnonsense]

Yeah! And if you get bit by a zombie, you turn into one too! They're such a problem, there's even been survival guides written specifically in case of outbreaks!

[Note: he has never been through a zombie outbreak.]

[fuckingguy]

... Shit. Are you certain of this?

[sixthnonsense]

Super certain. I wouldn't joke around about this, man.

[fuckingguy]

Eesh... If they are anything like zombies I have encountered, this is very bad news. Nothing you do to them can kill those little fuckers.

[giddyundertaker]

[ What is this nonsense he hearing. He is offended. ]

That's not raising the dead, that's just a particularly bad plague!

[ He pouts and crosses his arms. ]

Sure, that's still probably a bad way to go, but it's not the same as actually reanimating someone who had already died!

[buriedstar]

[ ... ]

You sound like you're speaking from experience.

[giddyundertaker]

Do I now?

[ He smirks. ] I reckon my memory may be a right bit sharper if one of you had something good to offer in return...

[ He turns to the group. ] Anyone up for the challenge?

[fuckingguy]

... Or, any of us who have also been around zombies could just say what happened to them.

[giddyundertaker]

[ Nudges Nandor in the arm. ]

Come on, I know you're one of the funny ones! Don't you want a go?

[buriedstar]

If you're offering, go ahead.

[fuckingguy]

As I was saying before I was nudged... a zombie is what happens when a necromancer is kind of shitty at his job.

[buriedstar]

[ ! ]

And if the necromancer isn't terrible?

[fuckingguy]

Would have been a much better outcome for poor Topher, I assume... but I have not been lucky enough to meet one. I mean, it was nice of Wallace to throw in the keychains after it became obvious, but really, the guy was on his phone the whole ritual.

[buriedstar]

[ ... ]

And here I thought Lee-kyung-ah was as low level as they come.

[fuckingguy]

Unless Lee-kyung-ah also scats to revive the dead, I am thinking they're not. [ ... ] Was a pretty odd couple of weeks for all of us.

[buriedstar]

[ He snorts. ]

I'll have to get him to try~. [ Can't wait for Nandor to have doomed Seo Dawon's world via necromancer hijinks. ]

Odd and necromancy go hand in hand, why else would someone pick that class above all the rest? Even in the case of your world, I imagine there's more worthwhile professions?

[fuckingguy]

What, like an alchemist or something?

[buriedstar]

Sure, or a treasure hunter, or assassin.

[ ...necromancers really are the pits where he's from. ]
