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.

[He's curling up, hands over his eyes still, like he's protecting them.]

No, no, no, you can't eat me again!

[duskhound]

[...Ah. Well, she'll... try her best and... She'd try to hold his hands, but she needs to keep away from his head and stomach right now.]

Yoshi, you're fine. You're safe. There isn't a Barghest around here.

[justonezero]

[Wise choice there Ellie.

After a minute he finally calms somewhat, still curled up and sobbing, but lowering his hands. His whole body is shaking.]

I'm-- I'm still alive...?

[duskhound]

You're still alive, yes. We're here in the Hayes Manor, looking for the recordings. You suddenly started screaming after... I assume you tried to translate something using your eyes?

[justonezero]

Yeah... I wanted to see if I could tell which door it was, but instead I saw...

[A pause. And then:]

I saw... everything I did when I died.

[duskhound]

Hm... Some sort of memory-based cognitohazard, maybe? But it didn't seem to affect everyone...

[justonezero]

Is it because I looked?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Ellie seems to have this covered but THIS SEEMS BAD]

[literalidiotball]

What?! I'm not going to eat you!

[ ... Wait. ]

Okay, hold on! You're not being eaten. It's all in your head! Just- Just stay calm! Stay calm.

[Luckily Ellie and Ren have a good hand on the situation and between the both of them, they manage to get Yoshi, uh... not screaming? Still pretty spooked, eyes still a little teary, but hey! No more screams.]

Wh-why did it show me that?
