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.

That's part of the problem isn't it? You'll be well prepared... for how the house was twenty years ago. Much can change in two decades.

.... regardless, the road ahead will not be an easy one.

We don't know the full effects of the barrier. It's possible that given that anyone related to the events of the Winchester House was erased that the barrier itself might have created a kind of "time stop" for the house itself for the last twenty years.

But even if we'll be well prepared for how the house was like twenty years ago, that doesn't mean we can't... overprepare? Add onto what we have in addition to what we know so far based on the tapes.

It might not be easy, but nothing in life ever is.

I don't want those lives to be for nothing. Even if I don't agree with everything that they've done, I don't want things to be for naught. Because their lives still hold meaning beyond these tapes. Because they have feelings, memories, experiences.

They might be stupid sometimes, but aren't we fucking all sometimes, too?

I'm probably going around in circles. But in any case, we'll all do our best.

I'm sure they will, too. For a definition of 'best', anyway.

... time stop. Hm.


I suppose it's useless to try and change your mind. Just... try and keep casualties to a minimum. There has been enough suffering because of that house.

It's just a theory, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm especially not well versed in this kind of thing but it's something to keep in mind, I guess, considering everything. I mean... everything has a purpose, after all.

And it is.

We'll try. I don't want to lose people, either.
