ROUND 5 WATCHING POST

[foundationmods]

Everyone who was there in some shape or form for the meeting on March 1st gets a notice that soon, the location where they'll have to go to watch what happened in the Winchester Incident will be made available for them. Frisk requests a list of those going to see what happened, but doesn't seem to discourage high numbers.

And shortly before the 30th, those that signed up will finally get a name and place - The Hayes Mansion, only a little bit away by drive from the Winchester House. As they drive, the more magically inclined might be able to sense a powerful barrier emanating from the direction the Winchester House is located, though they'll be unable to see anything.

Arriving there, they'll find that any and all other guests have been removed from the Hotel resort, and there's a sign on the door saying that it is Closed for major renovation and fumigation, which would explain the outfits you were given to be 'seen' walking into the place with, as well as all the vans and 'containers' you were told to put your belongings into.

Once inside, a helpful staff member directs you to put the costumes into a specific bin for collection- unless, of course, you would like to keep wearing them - and then another directs you to the front desk, where a pleasant, yet authoritative man is waiting.

Ngh... no, I think I'm okay.

So, what you're comparing it to is like the human shared unconsciousness? Only with a much smaller group? Something like that?

[foundationmods]

Ah....something like that? I know humans have....a hard time hearing the voices of their combined 'selves'? There is two in every human, or so I've heard.

[...huh. He's not talking about a collective unconsciouness, is he?]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Two... selves?

[wat]

[le_mat]

...two? I mean, I kinda have a collection but I'm not normal. Unless you mean like, the body and the soul?

[foundationmods]

The....'unconsciousness'? I was told that every human has one?

[le_mat]

Yeah, we do.

[He's gone on 100 hours of exciting heists in them! ... don't ponder if a House can have a palace Ren remember what happened LAST time]

I guess we don't really think of it as separate though. Or at least most people don't.

[foundationmods]

Well, normally it isn't, but you can't...exactly communicate with it, yes? That's not how it is for us.

We are able to talk to every bit of ourselves - to the Staff, to the Cells working away inside of us....every room and place, we are able to talk and understand.

'You' cannot do such a thing, even though humans contain worlds inside of themselves, both physically and mentally.

[Hayes seems to look...sad?]

I've often thought it must be very lonely, to be beings like you.

[le_mat]

... I guess I kinda can, thanks to my Persona.

[Satanael shimmers behind him for a moment, laughing eerily, but not manifesting completely]

But yeah, it's not the same. Maybe that's why humans are so... dependent on each other. Because it's too quiet otherwise.

[...Well, Ellie's going to try and explain it in her own way, but let's see...]

Well, try to think of the house itself as a whole person, and each member of the staff as... Something like a blood cell? Except all the blood cells are also fully sentient. So they each have their own individuality to an extent, but also... All contribute to making up the consciousness of the house as a whole? If I've understood things from what I've learned correctly?

[le_mat]

Okay... I think I get it. I knew they were all one Person but I didn't realize each part was also a person... sounds confusing.

[linearcrash]

Ain't that like some kind of Sci-fi movie or something?

[le_mat]

I was thinking more like ants, but yeah, it really does.

[linearcrash]

Yeah, you know the robot aliens one with the square ships in space!
