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.]

Man, I dunno why anyone would wanna go for the motive knowin' this. Whether it's your version or Joy's, it sucks all around.
no subject
That's exactly right.]
That's 'cause the "shoulda-coulda-woulda's" are a freakin' disease! You spend so much time thinkin' about the past, you get stuck in it.
[Sometimes quite literally.]
But you're not really there! You're in a made-up crazy-town box ya cooked up in your own damn mind.
no subject
Yeah, and like... Who's to say the new future you make for yourself will turn out any better? It could be worse, and then you'd be stuck with that new truth. Why even flirt with despair like that?
no subject
Why waste that time on some other handsome guy? There's a handsome guy right here!
[Aaaand he's ruining it for himself by using one hand to point to himself and the other to preen the pomp.]
This nifty stud is the one who deserves all my tender love and affection!
[u kno that one judgemental plurk emoticon with the big goo goo eyes
imagine it here]
So that's who I choose- This Dandy.
[He just hopes that one of the others will do the same.]
I plan on lookin' out for the me I can count on.
no subject
Good! I'm real glad. I only know this Dee, but I think he's great and wouldn't want to trade 'im for any others.
no subject
I wouldn't trade me for anyone else either.
[Rude!!!]
Oh yeah! And, uh...
You're pretty cool too.
