[Richard understood Peter's logic all too well, in fact, it had crossed his mind as well. Still, this whole thing reminded him a bit too much of the festival of the upside down face. Not the 'supernatural' aspects of it that they'd been asked to investigate, but the festival itself. Perhaps this one wasn't created as a way to drum up money for a failing hotel, but it was still a societal thing. Something to bring together survivors of a significant loss. He could understand where Elizabeth had been coming from now in regards to her words.
Remembering how the 'natives' had tried to push their festival on him, to force him to participate in something (if it were real) that would have been a time for them alone, he could see how someone would try to force them to participate by bringing it on them. The fact that no one had died yet was also very telling. If someone were expecting their ability or power, at least one person would have died. Probably someone very powerful. It was possible, but with the evidence provided, unlikely, for the moment. Still, any of the three theories would take them to the same conclusion.]
They'd need to have access to the materials. Is there a department that works with this sort of thing?
