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.

[ Wheatley kind of... Noped out of watching those last few tapes. He figured Inaba or someone else could fill him in on the important stuff.

Lo and behold, we have Inaba feeling validated. ]

Why, did we finally find out who this Tages bloke is?

[dereban]

Yeah - it's Roman -

[no, wait, she should correct herself]

...Solomon.

[literalidiotball]

... Wait, him?! How did he...

Oh, no, he's not like Watanuki, is he? Did he seriously teleport into another world instead of... You know... 6350'ing his way in?

[dereban]

I don't think that's the case... he's probably native to this world.

[literalidiotball]

Then how did he show up in a mobile game if he's from this world?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Solomon is a Biblical figure. He's probably in a lot of worlds.

[literalidiotball]

[ OPENS MOUTH.

Closes mouth. ]

... Okay, fine. I'll just... Yeah, let's just accept the fact he's from here somehow and move on, shall we?

Is there any way we can fish their souls out of that place without getting that miasma rubbish everywhere? Or at least as little miasma as possible? I mean, we were here to find that T- That Solomon bloke, right?

[dereban]

... It's like - how do I say it?

You know like some old historical figures have 'fictional' counterparts because they died a long time ago? Something like that.

Obviously I'm not saying Solomon's dead, but rather - maybe in this world his death was... faked, in a way? Like they hid him - I mean, we are technically a secret organization, after all. But the story of Solomon and all that still persevered and just wound up like this, I guess.

That's just a theory, though?

[literalidiotball]

...Oh, like, ah. Holmes over there. Got it.

So... How exactly are we gonna fish him out of that house? Without the Miasma and all? I mean, that place is still swimming in curses, isn't it?

[prayerwheel]

I think that's what we have to figure out. We'll have to put our heads together.

[dereban]

... I think we have a lot of options though, so for now let's just take a break and rest now that the tapes are done before coming up with stuff.

[prayerwheel]

[ a nod and a sigh ]

Let's...not try to puzzle it out now, by any means.

[literalidiotball]

Right...

[ He would rather not think of it at all, but they still had a mission to complete and that clown man was horrifying.

... You know what makes people happy? Cake. ]

Hey, Sissel, you still know how to make cake, right?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Right. First we all need to... recover.

[Karen is actively trying to puzzle it out now but she's not going to admit it.]
