thefoundation | ROUND 5 WATCHING POST

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.

And really, we can't be certain which rules of Time Travel that is going to apply - given anyone with such abilities are liable to operate under one of three aspects:

The first one is the least desirable: The Single Continnum or Closed Loop, where nothing changes - and in fact, traveling back is a necessary part of events.

Second is Fixed points, where large events are unchanging, and minor things within can be altered. So a chance there will alter the now that those involved with time-travel can observe, but no one else will notice. The question remains of course: Is the failure of this rescue team is a fixed point or a malleable one?

The Third is where every event can be changed for good or ill. This one usually results in branching universes, where we won't see the results, but the Us in another timeline will experience the events of the hypothetical you rescuing Tages twenty years ago.

Terminator, Doctor Who, Dragonball Z.

In that order.

FTR we won't actually know what rules this universe uses anyway, since either everyone's memories change to fit the new timeline or ONLY the time traveler remembers the changes happening.

And of course, no one is going to believe a man raving about how he changed the world's timeline.

Especially if he claims events generally accepted to be inevitable, weren't - such as preventing World War I.

It sounds like you have some personal experience there.

Maybe after all of this we need to have some sort of movie-slash-series marathon of stupid time travel shows.

[is she being serious or not WHO KNOWS]

Although I guess that makes sense... a bit worrying, though.

haha its a shame we dont have mister zelretch here! he’d be able to use his magic which is pretty much perfect for this sort of situation!
