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.

It would be a different story if the information about Tages didn't lead directly into a death trap. But it does. The likelihood you will be able to rescue something that could potentially serve as an O5 from that mess without losing your lives -- perhaps permanently -- in the process is slim to none. Even if you do get them out of there, what then? What if Tages has perished? He's not a 6350, he can't just be shoved into a new body. What if he is too tainted by Miasma to be of any use?

Sometimes, no leads are better than being led to your doom.

tages leads us into a death trap and red leads us to absolutely fucking nothing. small fish are still fish yeah?

The small fish will kill you!

so will any other fuckin option. were dead no matter what we do. our options are go into a situation where we have some fucking reconnaissance already done for us or one where we dont even have a fucking clue for our next step

and whatever we do this house is still gonna be a fucking PROBLEM yeah?

that barrier sure as shit isnt gonna hold much longer and you dont want her getting out do you?

[goddammit chainsaw why u gotta have a point] No. I do not.

It is a problem born of the Foundation's world. The native agents should be the ones to bear the brunt of the damage, not the 6350s.
