[CONTINUE + 4] week 1 || act: indict

[foundationmods]

[Saturday dawns, bright and early again. No one comes to the Inn, but you feel compelled to go to the Core anyway.

It's as if you're forced to. As if....it's inescapable. Puppets, forced to dance where their strings lead.

You make the walk past everything, until you are directly in the Core, where some kind of whitish, rainbow-gleaming liquid can be seen below.

In this area, you are led to a wider platform that is still open to the liquid before, with the handrails in place - where there are some seats around, and....surrounded by a sea of entirely gray faces, no Monsters to be seen.

This...for all of you, it is a familiar sight.

It is a trial location.

You are here to find the killer...and convict one of your own, in a murder that makes no sense.

But you have no choice.

You can only forge ahead....and try to find out the truth.]

[Also this narrator wanted to cheat personally so fuck u SCP-8000]

You keep saying a lot of "you cannot know" and stuff like that... what are you talking about, exactly?

[foundationmods]

THERE IS

AN ALLEGORY

FOR THIS

YOU ARE ALL

STILL IN THE CAVE

I HAVE

WALKED OUTSIDE

TO TRY AND EXPLAIN

WHAT I HAVE SEEN

WOULD BE

IMPOSSIBLE

[His eyes widen slightly]

[lovecolored]

Try us.

[ try to explain, o scary one ]

[finalring]

So you were a puppet too, once upon a time.

No no, I believe that you still are. Perhaps you blinded yourself when you stepped out, so you do not know what real light is.

[dereban]

... Plato's Cave?

What about it?

[ugly_split_ends]

Is there an echo in here?

[dereban]

Maybe there is.

[ugly_split_ends]

In the cave too, maybe. Hehehehe.

[le_mat]

It calls out the cave one but forgot the sun one. You know, about knowledge and truth being validated by goodness or something like that?

[improbablenotimpossible]

The analogy of the Sun isn't as well-known, or the divided line.

[le_mat]

I might be a dumbass but I'm pretty well-read.

[dereban]

Clearly it forgot to check the analogy wiki.

[ugly_split_ends]

...So, Plato's cave.

[lovecolored]

Is it funny to anyone else that we actually are sorta in a cave, right now? Since we're underground. And didn't Plato have somethin' else about true names?

[ugly_split_ends]

If we're really continuing along with this analogy and the entity is someone who "went outside" the cave...

...Then we've basically fulfilled the analogy's conclusion by killing him.

[sageking]

What, you are attempting to state that the story of your so-called ascension would too difficult to explain to those you consider beneath you? What rubbish.
