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 almost sounds like you have a poltergeist.

[Good thing a pretty high str stat comes with the swordsman territory, so lifting his end of the shelf won't be an issue, unless some other unexpected happenings occur. Anyway, the other two have most of the questions covered but he'll still dump in his two mira.]

Does it usually happen when no one is around, or does it occur even in rooms that are being used or occupied?

[foundationmods]

[That shelf is carefully put away! The Staff member seems to relax, also going to pick up the fallen towels.]

I did mention that we thought it may have been some of our other Guests, but...it seems to occur randomly, though especially at peak service hours.

Ah, and we do have cameras, but they're more for security purposes. And we wouldn't really use them for little things like this, when there are plenty of reasons why these things would be happening.

[escardos]

Ahaha, if it’s a ghost then maybe someone’s trying to get people’s attention? But it seems like they’re causing more trouble than anything.

[ ... ]

Maybe we should try calling for it?

[duskhound]

Well, I'm not certain it's a ghost quite yet, but it certainly does seem to be mostly acting when there are lots of people around. There is definitely a clue there.

[Yes, let's get the last of these towels.]

Right, where should I put these? Do they need to be washed again, or should they go straight back to the shelf?

[relentlesslyonwards]

[There's a glance over at Flat.]

We might want to hold off on that until it's something we can handle. And besides, Ellie has a point here. We're still not really sure what it is right now.

[He turns to the staff member.]

Actually, would you mind letting us look at the security footage? It seems like this is causing some trouble for everyone, so we'd like to do what we can to help.

[foundationmods]

I wouldn't really call a ghost here - it might be rude to some of our more undead Guests.

[...Um.

They gesture back over to the shelf, since it's rather clean in the laundry area, neatly folding them and placing them back.]

Hmm...unfortunately, the Security cameras are in an area we can't quite let that one [points at Flat] go to, and we're still cleaning up the traces from that one Staff Member that was left behind.

[...]

Oh, but actually...I do remember that the Chef has seemed a little out of it, lately - he's been spilling things more often, since we've had to clean his aprons more than usual.

Other than that...I don't think there's anything else I know. My apologies.

[escardos]

Ah, so you are some sort of a hivemind? Interesting.

[ beyond being insulted, flat seems...somewhat impressed that one of the staff would be able to know about his presence and whatever hayes thought about him so quickly.

maybe he really should insist on a tour. ]

Well, maybe some are in the kitchen. We should go tell them. Thank you, NPC Staff!

[duskhound]

Isn't that kind of rude, Flat?

[But yes, uh. She'll do her best to help with folding the towels until everyone else starts taking off.]

Still, the Chef has been a little out of it, you say? We'll see what we can do to help out there, too.

[relentlesslyonwards]

[Flat why are you like this. He just coughs loudly here.]

...Sorry about that. Anyway, thanks for telling us. We'll get going so we don't disturb your work.

[foundationmods]

No, No need to apologize. It is a rather good comparison.

[UuuuuUUUUH????]

But yes, no problem, and thank you for your assistance. Have a good day, Guests - and good luck on your mission!

[They smile as they begin get back to their laundry detail.]
