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.

In my universe, if you time travel you become part of that timeline... sort of. It's like the timeline changes to allow for your existence? That's why I remember having Mikado as a cousin all my life even though he time traveled to my time when I was fourteen.

But also... if you change the timeline too much, it completely wipes out the future you came from. So by meeting Mikado and realizing who he really was, his future became an impossibility. Misane-chan was able to make it back to her time and things had changed, but he disappeared sometime after they entered the time machine to return again.

That's pretty strange.

So, hypothetical brain exercise: if I went back in time to where they are now, the universe will just go 'oh, she's a 6350 that was summoned a few months ago', or something like that?

But how about this.

What if in the off chance you didn't know the 'truth' of that timeline? Because we're from the 'future', to them -- we can speculate things that happen. There are things we do know. But only those facts would have to stay in place, right?

If the rest of it is a mystery inside a proverbial cat box, then... would that even work?

Well, Mikado still changed a bunch of things when he went to my time. He's the one who invented the Master Program after all - when Misane-chan came to my time, she didn't even know what BitPhones were, and she didn't have a connection to the system. So I think the main factors that change are whatever you individually affect!

... huh.

That's pretty weird, but I guess that makes sense, a little?

[justonezero]

But I don't think that's how it works for everywhere, unfortunately! It's a little too convenient.

Time traveling is... tricky... [he frowns] In my world, after I time traveled back to the past to try and fix things... I kind of... became "unstuck"? Like I didn't belong in any times anymore. It's hard to explain. I think it's because I changed the past and made the future I come from disappear, so I don't really exist anymore?

[dereban]

Sssssounds.

Complicated.

[iblistriggered]

Ahahah... it is.... Basically, I have no idea what would happen if you tried to do it here.
