plan all your moves in advance (week 5 meeting)
[ So, it's Wednesday, and we're having a meeting in the bathroom of the bowling alley.
Jonathan is the one who initially attempts to set said meeting up, and perhaps that's how you found out about this! But while he's putting the gathering together, his efforts come up against (read: are viciously hijacked by) several other people's similar ideas, and, somehow, this ends up organically manifesting itself. No invitations are sent; word of mouth serves instead. If you aren't given warning ahead of time, by Wednesday afternoon, it's kind of a gimme; many of the people still alive are suddenly absent, and of those who remain, at least two are actively suggesting everyone else head over to the bowling alley bathroom. Zinda's methods are probably less Like This, but Nandor's... ]
Bathroom safety meeting! Bathroom safety meeting, everyone! Follow me, please, we are having it in a more amenable space.
[ And he will absolutely not take no for an answer and keep following people around until they comply, so unless you slam the suite door in his face (valid), the path of least resistance is probably just going! The bathroom, once you show up, is a far cry from the garden party or even the changing room get-together on week 3. Dandy and Misfire (?) have instruments, which they are playing annoyingly, but that seems to be about it as far as outside preparations go. ]
Good; that is all of us, and now we can begin. [ Whether this is actually all of them or not is irrelevant! He clears his throat. ] As you may have realized... there is no bathroom safety meeting. That was but a ruse, crafted to conceal our secret meeting, and now we are going to discuss what we have discovered over the past two weeks and how we will go about unleashing utter destruction on Fontaine.
[ You also might simply be in the bowling alley already and need to use the restroom. That is entirely possible, and if so, tough luck. ]
So, uh, what have we got?

[Though, maybe Brett's just always inclined to give people a lot of benefit of the doubt. He sure did with Howl - maybe still is, in fact.]
no subject
But the people I met... they seemed to quickly grow bored with me, and I'm starting to fear that it is a similar case with our other friend.
no subject
[He's a little more cautious. Rushing in blindly is brave, sure, but it might not be the best way to get results.]
Smileyface is still here, at least. I think she's probably doing the best she can within her directives.
no subject
[He pinches the bridge of his nose.]
I suppose I am... simply terrified of the very real possibility of us all perishing before anyone can save us.
no subject
[He reaches out to pat Jonathan's shoulder for a moment - I'm assuming he's close enough because we're all crammed into a freaking bathroom.]
I think we should probably plan for the worst-case scenario. If we move forward assuming we won't get any help, it'll be a nice surprise if any of them come through.
no subject
I suppose it is a fortune that I am already rather familiar with having to fend for myself without outside help, and that I at least have some people I can depend on.
