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.

. . . tabs--

What does it say?

[He held it so Inaba can look over his shoulder, let her have deniable plausibility]

It might change how we view the events.

These seem to have been written before they entered at the mansion. . .

Which means that the agent they were sent to rescue wasn't Tages, but some undetermined Agent X - potentially that might have been Turner, but we don't know because apparently that group doesn't even know...

God, is the Foundation fucking incompetent or what?

[she's sighing heavily, pinching the bridge of her nose]

But the fact that this was written means he's probably not inside the house-- at this moment.

[improbablenotimpossible]

Incompetent is the name of their game.

[He sighs]

Of course, that presumes Tages is the one who wrote this - just no doubt it is someone of high rank.

However, we do need to reconsider some of our assumptions - and open our minds up to alternative possibilities.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Maybe Tages sent in his own rescue team. We haven't had to deal with time travel yet.

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He just makes a face]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[mood.]

[dereban]

. . . I swear to god if time travel is relevant here I am going to take a nap for a goddamn month.

[oceanicbutterfly]

It would be really great if I could rule it out. If I could rule literally anything out, really.

[dereban]

That is true...

We can't prove one way or another that he wrote this or not because it's typed. But we should just take it with a grain of salt and keep that thought in the back of our minds while also trying to make too much assumptions.

Relying on facts is important.

[improbablenotimpossible]

I agree it's too early to form theories. Though I am a bit concerned about the candidates, it seems excessive for just selecting someone for a mission.

[dereban]

It's... a lot, yeah.

And it seems that whoever it is can pick up magic pings, too. Or anti-magic, I guess, in Battler's case.

[improbablenotimpossible]

And... the names. How did he know some of these names?

[dereban]

Maybe it has something to do with his powers?

Maybe he has shinigami eyes.

[SHE'S JOKING ABOUT THAT BY THE WAY]

[improbablenotimpossible]

Perhaps, it's not above the realm of possibility, even if you are joking.

[dereban]

That's true, we don't. . . exactly know his full capabilities, right?
