thefoundation | [CONTINUE + 4] INTRO

[After so long a trip, you're all finally here. Taken through a hidden passage inside of the very mountain itself, you find yourself standing in front of a field of flowers, growing well due to the open roof above it. If you look up, you can just make out the shimmering colors off of the barrier - looking almost like the shine off of a soap bubble.

Try not to trample on the flowers as you approach the open, purple gate. And remember to wear your masks, now that you're here!

...Still, the sight of the yellow flowers waving in the wind....such a cheery sight fills you with determination for what's to come.

Welcome to the Underground.

...Again. The loop happened again, and you're here. Everything is the same.

Someone who was dead is alive again.

The trial...it was...you remember only up until Gilgamesh was FOUGHT against, and then...nothing.

You feel you shouldn't try to remember anything beyond that.

Not only that, But more monster names have faded from your memory.

...When will this end?]

... I don't know where to start with all of this.

[Except for the fact that this seems to be so much but it's also valuable.]

I assume the 'girl who makes a lot of plans' is probably me, but -

I know this is a summarized version, but... do you have the entire dialogue that the entity said memorized? I want to write all the words down, specifically, to the letter. No paraphrasing, just straight up quotes, since things can get lost in a summary, especially intent.

[That's you! You make a lot of plans!]

Sorry, he's... weird about names sometimes.

[And Drew will give Inaba an accurate repetition of the conversations, which I as a player don't feel like writing out.]

It's okay. It isn't the worst thing I've been called; I'll even consider it a compliment.

[She smiles something a little strained as she jots everything down to the best of her ability. Of course she's having it recorded on her phone as well so she can have two copies of it all.]

Thank you.

Guess it's looking like we're on the right track at least.

Yeah, we did something right.

[Drew got to participate!]

At the very least, we can use this and see where to go from there.

Which probably means... that we should be deviating from the 'path' that they're trying to set us up on.

[It's a glimmer of light, of hope. It's slight, but it's there.]

I also think that if a trial does happen next time - we need to start things off by explaining the situation to everyone.

["Everyone", of course, meaning 'not just their group, but the monsters as well'.]

But I want to try preventing a trial from happening to begin with. That takes priority.
