	It is recommended to play in a somewhat dim space with minimal screen glare to aid in visibility.
	Additionally, this map uses basic applications of crouch jumping. No other tech is intended or required.
	Unfixable dialog-related soft crashes are known to occur in certain rare situations. They should have no serious consequences on the map.

	Please remember to stay for as long or as little as you like. As long as you feel done, there is no shame in leaving.

    [??]
    i hate all of these people who expect me to be one way just for them.

    [??]
    just to fit into their preconceived notions of who i have to be.

    [??]
    you like clams? who share their wisdom? take my wisdom then.

    {!}if{/!} you care about clams you'd stop treating them like they can only talk about philosophy. {0.5}some of us just want to admire the stars.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]

    isn't that what i gave you?? i'm like pretty sure i gave you that.

    [MADELINE left PEACEFUL]
    you were not even close in the slightest

    [??]
    okay so what IS 1000 wavedashes supposed to be then.

    [??]
    because to me it seemed pretty obvious.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    well, {0.25}it has an existential clam that talks to you about what it means to exist and how to be happy with life...

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    then there was a gallery where you had to make important decisions...

    [MADELINE left NORMAL]
    then there was a submarine, then you meet some sea creatures!

    [??]
    wow that is not at all what i thought it would be.

    {0.5}i think i have a story, {0.5}i guess.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    i was on a submarine, before i came here.

    [MADELINE left SADDER]
    it was a huge waste of my time. {0.5}there wasn't actually anything to see through the window.

    [MADELINE left SAD]
    there should've been a lot of mystical creatures floating in the water.

    really? that sounds interesting.

    [??]
    i don't know if i can imagine what creatures would be down there.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    ...{0.5}i saw an abstract art gallery, every piece had a unique name and a new question to think about.

    [MADELINE left SAD]
    they weren't very interesting questions, {0.5}half of them were just advertisements.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    i think the gallery was secretly ran by flowers though, which was cool i guess.

    [??]
    that sounds so unique, {0.5}i'd love to see that gallery some day.

    i've only heard stories about art from other travellers, {0.5}maybe one day i can make art myself too...

    [MADELINE left SADDER]
    i was told that it being there was just a mistake, and it was taken away from me.

    [MADELINE left SAD]
    i asked to see it again, {0.5}because its one of my favorite experiences i've ever had.

    [MADELINE left SAD]
    what i got back was just. {0.5}i don't know, {0.5}it just wasn't what i expected at all.

    but those memories aren't even that unique.
    
    [MADELINE left SAD]

    [MADELINE left SAD]
    i'm not sure what this city even actually is, to be honest.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    i've never been here before.

    [??]
    whattt, you've never been to the big city?

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    i'm starting to doubt if i've ever been anywhere before.

    [??]
    welcome to florava, the overgrown city.

    [??]
    it's not actually that overgrown, despite the name. {0.5}there's just a lot of flowers that live here.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    do you know of anything unique or interesting here?

    [??]
    not really? {0.5}everything here is pretty standard for a big city.

    [??]
    you can check out the office buildings if you're interested in that for whatever reason.

    [??]
    there's also a park in the middle of town you can go to relax at.

    [??]
    other than that, i'm not really sure. {0.5}i've never actually left town, i don't know what would be interesting to an outsider.
    
    [MADELINE left SAD]
    that's kind of sad, {0.5}why haven't you ever left town?

    [??]
    the rest of the world isn't made for a delicate flower like me, {0.5}{~}i'm safe here{/~}

    [??]
    i've just never had a reason to leave. {0.5}everything i could want is already here.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    that seems reasonable to me.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    it was nice talking, i'll go explore now.

    [??]
    it was nice talking! have fun exploring!

bunnerfly_city_parkflower=
    [??]
    the park is my favorite place in the whole city.

    [??]
    sometimes i just want to stop thinking about work, {0.5}coming here tends to clear my mind.

    [MADELINE left PEACEFUL]
    i like this place too, it's very cozy.

    [??]
    i agree!

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    do you know where i can find other interesting places in the city?

    [??]
    if you crouch by someone's door for a bit, they're likely to open up eventually.

    [??]
    people here are quite friendly, i think others would have more interesting things to say than me.

    [MADELINE left PEACEFUL]
    thank you kind flower

    [??]
    no problem! {0.5}thanks for chilling with me.

bunnerfly_city_credits=
    [??]
    this monument is dedicated to those who helped create this city from nothing.

    [??]
    bunnerfly, fref, fervently, kaileythealien, thysirslime, geb, lexycat, casino versus japan, takeshi kurosawa (sora), crimson ensemble, jurgen harris, crisp, yutaka hirose, cacola, and many more independent citizens.

    [??]
    this city would not be the same without you all, our eternal gratitude is bestowed upon you all

bunnerfly_city_paint=
    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    do you know what that sign on the other side of the building is supposed to mean?

    [??]
    i'm not actually sure. {0.5}i was asked to paint it, so i did, but i never questioned what i was painting it for.

    [??]
    i don't know why i do anything, actually.

    [MADELINE left SAD]
    i kind of feel the same way sometimes.

    [??]
    i paint so many things, but i never actually have a plan for what i'm doing like the other painters around me.

    [??]
    my work is so incoherent, {0.5}it feels like i'm not a real writer or artist next to my friends.

    [MADELINE left NORMAL]
    i think you're a real artist, the sign looks great!

    [??]
    it looks great, sure. 

    [??]
    it doesn't {~}feel{/~} great though. {0.5}i don't know what any of it actually means, and i'm the one who made it.

    [??]
    i just wish i could do something meaningful.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    i understand you.

    [MADELINE left DISTRACTED]
    for what it's worth, {0.5}i think you'll get better at understanding yourself as you make more paintings.

    [??]
    i don't fully believe you, {0.5}but i'll keep trying.

    [??]
    thank you

    and now nothing is left here anymore.

    why is this where i chose to make my home?

bunnerfly_creation_intro=
    [MADELINE left SADDER]
    please. {0.5}i just don't get it.

    [MADELINE left SADDER]
    why do you still want me here.

    [MADELINE left SADDER]
    i just want to go home.

    [??]
    ...

    [??]
    i. {1}haven't been fully honest, {0.5}about all of this.

    [??]
    this will all end quite soon.

    [??]
    i have something i need to tell you.

bunnerfly_creation_ending=
    [??]
    i feel bad for not giving you the one thousand wavedashes you asked for.

    [??]
    the whole time i knew what it was that you actually wanted, i was just too scared.

    [??]
    "create a piece that you are fully proud of"

    [??]
    to genuinely remake something that had such a large impact on me is just not possible.

    [??]
    i tried my hardest to give you what you wanted. {0.5}i really did.

    [??]
    but i was still too scared it wouldn't "be enough". {0.5}at least next to the original.

    [??]
    i hope, {0.5}after all of this, {0.5}you can forgive me for not being able to give you the clams of your dreams.

    [??]
    there's only one map that can do that, after all.

    [??]
    all i hope is that you still had some fun.

    [??] 
    maybe even as much fun as i had making this for you.

    [??]
    ...

    [??]
    you may go home now.

In hindsight, I could've just booked a guided tour instead of waking up at 4 AM and going there alone.
[madeline left distracted]
Well, I'm already awake, so I might as well just go...
[madeline left normal]
This abandoned city left behind due to a massive earthquake was too exciting to not pass up!
[madeline left determined]
I don't need any guided tours, I can explore this place all by myself!

Heart Valley City earthquake 
of 2006

VSSC_Ace_signdialog=
[secret_character left normal]
You read the broken down sign, which reads:
Heart Valley City, Population: 12644
...the number has been crossed out, with a white 0 written next to it.
Looking over to the distance, you see a bunch of broken down flats and houses…
...this is probably the Suburbs part of the city, the only section that can be entered.

VSSC_Ace_subwaydialog=
[secret_character left normal]
You find a small sign that is in a pretty decent condition.
It shows multiple stops for the city's only subway route. While some of the stops are worn off, you can still read a few of them.
Heart Valley City...
Napalm Desert...
Illusion Lake...
Blisscore Mountain...
Center of Existence...? What would that even be?
You may never know.

VSSC_Ace_shackdialog=
[secret_character left normal]
This broken down shack is in a rather perplexing place isn't it?
The earthquake shifted this land up so much it's almost at the same height as the flat next to it.
You wonder if there's still something here that was left behind...

VSSC_Ace_floodsdialog=

…
...how did an airplane end up here?
You'd rather not start thinking about it right now.

VSSC_Ace_signaltowerdialog=
[secret_character left normal]
You take a look at the broken sign, which tells the story of Heart Valley City's Signal Tower...
...or at least, most of it, some of the text is unreadable.
The tower was a popular site, being one of the tallest buildings in the city.
You question the stability of it, as it's somehow still standing after all of these years, despite the earthquake and rot over time.

VSSC_Ace_residentaldialog=
[madeline left sad]
Wow, this place was really swept up by the earthquake, huh?
[madeline left sad]
All these buildings and roads barely holding it together...

I should continue, there's a lot more to see here!

You're wondering how you ended up in this situation.
First you were on the surface...and now you're underground, standing on a floating rock, with a neverending void below you.

You used Debug mode, didn't you?
You probably noticed the room name as well, and just got confused.

I'll leave you here with your thoughts :)

The cliff face is steep.

It stretches into the sky.

You get the feeling that once you go up there...

You won't want to come back down.



VSSC2026_Donk_Intro=
When I first met you, I was too little to really understand.

Who you were,

How I related to you...

What I was.

...

What you were...

But I started to learn pretty quickly that you were different from everyone else.

You grew strong very quickly.

We outpaced everyone together.

I still remember the gentle warmth of the autumn sun caressing us on the playground.

Our faces drenched in golden oranges by the light shimmering through the leaves.

We were golden.

We were beautiful.

I always thought that we would stay that way forever.


VSSC2026_Donk_Cave=
In middle school, everyone seemed to treat us with kindness.

They would glance at us and smile.

But often times,

We'd hide ourselves.

Looking back...

I now realize how that was an improper response.

But we continued to grow...

Bigger...

Taller...

Faster.

It was so scary for me.

But you didn't seem to mind.

You just...

Kept pushing.

I wonder if I resented you for that back then?

Or maybe I just enjoyed the attention.

Either way...

We would slink off to the computer lab together.

It was our favorite place in school.

I have so many memories of the light blue hues of the monitor coating us as we played games.

It was so gentle.

But honestly, I struggle to remember what the games even were.

Or what the computer lab even looked like...

The color that painted us light blue is what I remember most.



VSSC2026_Donk_Home=
I continued to grow with you.

I grew quite fond of my home,

and so did you.

We would lay outside on the concrete of my driveway for hours together.

Sometimes it was warm and sometimes it was cold.

These moments are getting a little fuzzy, though.

But I remember when, in late spring, the tree outside of home...

The one next to the basketball hoop...

It would sprout pink flowers all over.

It painted ourselves in a pink glow when we sat under it.

It almost felt magical.

I wonder...

If it was at that moment pink became my favorite color.

It took you awhile to realize though, didn't it?

How special that color was to me...

How special this place was to me.

Home...

It's such a weird term.

Was it truly my home?

Or...

Were you my home?

Or my prison?

Perhaps you're something else entirely.



VSSC2026_Donk_Grove=
I first started to feel the distance between us in high school.

I felt like you weren't someone I wanted to be with.

So, I tried to leave you behind...

I abandoned the thought of you and tried to block you out entirely.

This was foolish.

You followed me everywhere...

So I thought that maybe I could fix you.

Maybe...

I could change you.

Maybe then we could be happy.

But this idea only complicated things.

How do I fix you?

How do you need to change?

And how do I adapt to that?

More questions came with no answers.

These questions only dragged me deeper down...

Until I didn't know who you were when I looked at you.

Had you changed too much?

Or not at all, and it was me who changed?

I began to resent you.

Why wouldn't you just leave me alone?

That summer was one of the worst times of my life.

Everyone could see you.

I couldn't fully hide you.

There was a night where I locked the doors to my bedroom.

I went under the covers and hid.

And I wept for hours.

Until I was choking on my breath and tears.

You were there, too.

I couldn't see you.

The absence of light blocked you out.

It was black.

I hated you.


VSSC2026_Donk_Frozen=
After a few more years of trying to figure you out...

It felt like I finally had.

I understood you now.

I also understood myself better.

Some things I couldn't change about you.

And I'd have to live with that.

And then, for years...

We were doing well together.

I started to love you again.

But recently...

I've started to feel negatively towards you again.

When we were in the shower...

I felt you.

A strange sense of melancholy that I hadn't felt in years washed over me...

I sat down in the shower...

And the beigish-yellow light from above me shimmered through the water.

Casting us in a bland yet sparkling light.

I can see the color so clearly.

But...

You.

What do you even look like?

I find myself forgetting often again...

Just like I did all those years ago.

I find myself...

Wanting to forget.

Why now?



VSSC2026_Donk_SummitSecret=
[]
You know...

It's a little strange.

Every time I try to remember the moments together...

Every time I try to remember your face...

I can only remember the light.

The color of the scene.

I've been trying so, so hard...

I think something is wrong with me.

I just get snippets with color.

I just remember the blue of the screen shining on your shoulders.

Or the orange of the sunset on your freckled cheeks and how warm it felt on us.

But...

For the life of me...

I can't remember your face.

...

I guess...

I kind of understand.

Everything is color, right?

When I look at something...

I could be looking at anything.

It's just...

It's just colors.

Colors shining into my eye.

I...

I don't know what to do.

I just...

I just want to remember your face.

I don't even know why!

I hate your face.

I hate you.

But it's just colors!

Why is it just colors?

Light bends to a shape.

The colors lit up your face.

They light up my life.

My vision.

It's only light.

Blinding light.

Only light remains.

Light that I cannot understand.

I miss your face.

...

I went back to our tree.

The tree that was pink for two weeks out of the year...

The one at that place we used to call home.

The one we used to live at.

I just walked up the driveway and sat under the tree.

It's getting hard for us to walk.

We stumble. We trip. We fall.

I only see light, not the pathways for your feet.

It's all too much.

I sat under the tree and I thought.

Until I got up.

And I looked at it one final time.

I just saw brown and pink light shining back at me.

The tree was gone.

I was so mad.

I was so enraged.

But I came prepared.

I swung at the tree with all of my might.

I don't remember exactly what it was I was holding.

It felt like a wooden handle with a weight at the end.

But who really knows?

The truth of the object is hidden by light.

We swung it at where the tree used to be over and over again.

We were panting.

We were crying.

The light blurred.

But I kept swinging.

I thought of you,

Of how I don't really recognize you anymore,

And it only made me angrier.

So we just kept swinging.

Until finally, the brown light fell to the ground.

And pink snippets swirled around us.

I stood surrounded by them, dropping whatever I was holding.

I looked down at what used to be your hands.

They were gone too.

We were gone.

We were all just light.

Just like we have always been.

I don't know what we are anymore beyond what I feel.

I still feel vividly.

So vividly that it haunts me.

I can envision what you should look like in my head...

But it just jumbles up.

It loses its shape.

Even if I trace your own skin with my hand...

My mind can't imagine what we're supposed to look like beyond blotches of light.

I don't know what happens next.

...

I'm scared.




VSSC2026_Donk_SummitA=
All this is to say...

I couldn't see you as someone else forever.

VSSC2026_Donk_SummitB=
At some point...

I had to face the truth of who you are.

Of what we are.

VSSC2026_Donk_SummitC=
But... strangely...

I just don't know if I can understand that truth.

VSSC2026_Donk_SummitD=
Because...

If I can't even see you...

If I can't even recognize you...

VSSC2026_Donk_SummitE=
Who's to say that you're even real?

That...

I'm even real?

VSSC2026_Donk_SummitF=
...

Perhaps, it's far more simple.

VSSC2026_Donk_SummitG=
Maybe I've...

Always just hated you.

I could just never grasp it until high school.

VSSC2026_Donk_SummitH=
But at least now I know the truth.

We are one and the same.

VSSC2026_Donk_SummitI=
So...

I'll try to get over it, okay?

And learn to see again.

Don't worry, I won't show up for the rest of the map anyways.

[MADELINE left upset]
Ok whatever. 
So why are we here? 

[BADELINE right normal]
Ok so basically, I got a telepathic message from the Clam from hit map One Thousand Wavedashes from Esoterica Contest Winner, Welcome to Megalophobia. 
Apparently their head got oversaturated with philosophy and they ascended to a higher plane of existence or something.
But like, they can't control their new powers and it's causing them to just spontaneously warp around through space. 
They said they need you to go get the keys to their clam settlement or whatever cause you can only stabilize them from there. 
I was like, ok sure why not, doesn't sound like a big deal, but turns out the clams live in a different dimension or whatever and this place is pretty weird.
So uhh, yeah hate to spring (collab 2020) this on you right after you just woke up but you gotta do this, I sorta already promised you would so...

[MADELINE left deadpan]
Great.

quinnigan_clam_start=
The way that we experience the world around us is ultimately defined by the dimensions we exist within. 
For example, most argue that we exist in four dimensions: three spatial and one temporal, but that does not necessitate that those are the only dimensions to exist. 
We are not the center of the universe after all.
But what would be the implications of a world with more than four dimensions? Perhaps one with less than 4?
Would our definitions of life even apply to those worlds? Could we be observing said worlds every day without even knowing it?
How are we to know whether or not a child's drawing is not in fact a two dimensional world, and the child in question is to the people in those drawings as a possible "creator god" is to us. What if our entire universe is just a drawing by a higher-dimensional being?
Try to imagine a world that exists in four spatial dimensions.
It's simply not something our triplanar brains can conceptualize.
Everything that we can sense around us; everything that we know of, is grounded in the three spatial dimensions we exist within.
The very idea of something that exists in a space that is to our own world as a cube is to a square.
It is just not something our minds can fathom. 
What about a world with no temporal or no spatial dimensions? Could that even exist?
If there was a world that existed in three spatial dimensions, like our own, but in zero temporal ones, would that simply be like a single moment frozen forever in time?
I would argue that without a temporal dimension, nothing would be capable of existing in that space, as there would be no time for anything to become something.
Similarly, a world without any spatial dimensions would just be an empty flow of time. Even if time was passing, there would be nothing to occupy that time without space. 
Now consider the possibility of two or more temporal dimensions. Take some time to think about that one...

quinnigan_clam_C1=
A second temporal dimension, while it may sound hard to conceptualize, is actually far easier to understand than a fourth spatial one in my opinion. 
The second temporal dimension is where the alternate timelines to our own exist. 
Our timeline is constantly fracturing infinitely many times every microsecond. If you snap your fingers, there will also exist a parallel timeline where you did not snap your fingers.
Every single instant after that might very well playout exactly the same as our own but it would still be on a different timeline, solely due to that one small difference.
Of course, with 13.8 billion years worth of time, there will be just as many timelines that are wildly different from our own. 
In fact, if we accept that our timeline fractures infinitely many times every second, then it should follow that any possible version of our world that you can imagine does in fact exist on a different timeline.
Every single thing that could possibly happen, has happened. That is the nature of a framework where all possibilities occupy a place in the second dimension of time.
Another way to think about it that might make things clearer, is to imagine timelines as exactly what their name implies: lines of time.
In spatial terms, you can think about how a one dimensional space, a line, compares to a two dimensional space, such as a plane. 
If you take that single line, and you line up infinite identical lines parallel to it, the resulting product will be a plane. 
Time can be envisioned in the same manner, but instead of a physical line, we have infinite timelines all lined up parallel to one another. 
That resulting plane is the full scope of time under this framework.
The existence of this second temporal dimension would not change the nature of our own world of course.
We still exist in only one temporal dimension, and accessing those other timelines is as far from our reach as space in a fourth dimension would be. 
For us to travel between those parallel timelines would be like if the crayon stickperson just walked out of the child's drawing and into our space. 
It is utterly absurd.

quinnigan_clam_C2=
We think of the temporal dimension as continuous. But all this means is we've measured it as precisely as we can and haven't found evidence of it being discrete.
Continuous time also allows for the possibility of a continuous stream of consciousness. Any two moments you can identify supposedly hold an infinite number of moments between them.
This is, of course, just an assumption. Something our physical models agree with. And more importantly, something that is more comfortable to believe.
Our lived experiences {~}feel{/~} continuous too. If they didn't, we could lose our sense of self.
This may be an illusion of course, like a video that frame advances more quickly than our eyes can process.
Or an image of such high resolution that the idea that it's made up of pixels seems absurd
Discrete time would both break our current understanding of spatial and temporal dimensions, while also solving some of our most vexing paradoxes.
But more importantly, it would shatter the illusion of consciousness.
Our lives could be modeled like a finite state machine, reacting to inputs or changing states at each given chunk of time. 
Free will breaks down here too, since we would just be a machine with instructions on how to react to something based on our current state.
It's a little comforting to relinquish responsibility and control like that. You could essentially operate as decentralized nerve clusters, reacting to reflex and stimuli.
Bivalves like me already live like this, it's honestly pretty great.

quinnigan_clam_H1=
I'm starting to think we exist in an {~}amazing digital simulation{/~}.
All it took was accepting the idea that our current perceived dimensions could theoretically be represented digitally at some future time.
As soon as the idea that a simulated reality will at some point be possible, even with an immense amount of computing power, harnessing the energy of entire stars.
As soon as that is accepted, the likelihood that our reality is simulated reaches nearly 100%
If a simulated reality is possible, then it becomes an acceptable idea that multiple simulated realities are possible.
With enough time and energy, perhaps infinite simulated realities would then be possible.
Given this, what is the likelihood that our reality is the single top-level reality? One out of an infinite number?
Even if you set aside the idea that infinite simulated realities could exist, the odds very quickly leave our favor.
Looking now at the total expected lifespan of our universe, billions or trillions or an unfathomably large numbers of years.
If only ten simulated realities could exist within that entire timeframe, then the likelihood we would be in that top level is 10%.
If over those billions or trillions of years we allow for maybe a few more simulated realities to exist, maybe fifty total, the odds drop to 2%.
2% chance that we exist in a top-level universe first try. And if simulated realities are possible within those simulated realities, the odds are reduced by entire orders of magnitude.
The only way to accept that we don't live in an {~}amazing digital simulation{/~} is to believe that a simulated reality will never be possible. And I don't know if I can say that much.

quinnigan_clam_H2=
If we ARE in a simulated reality, and we are to work under the idea that we are not the bottom-level reality, where are the lower-level realities located and what form do they take?
Something in our world would necessarily be the simulator of that reality or realities.
But how do we even qualify what counts as a simulated reality? We are only cognizant of our own reality's many facets and features, but realities on levels above or below ours could very well follow entirely different rules.
Could the video games that we play with the naïve supposition of inconsequential independence, in truth be the simulation of an entire other reality beneath our own?
And if we are to refuse the existence of a simulatory conduit in our own reality, then it necessarily follows that we must either accept our position at the bottom of the reality food chain, or acquiesce to the idea of a simulated reality being entirely impossible.
I can not in good faith admit the nonexistence of a simulator in our reality, as neither I nor anyone else has omniscient knowledge of our reality.
Assuming that no one ever has or ever will be all-knowing, we must also accept that the potential presence of a simulated reality hosted within our own is always a possibility.

In his 1981 essay "Simulacra and Simulation", Jean Baudrillard defines four stages of sign order.
The first stage is the faithful image; an unobscured reflection of reality, truthfully representative of that which it stands to represent.
The second stage is the unfaithful image. The reality is not being fully encapsulated by its symbol, but has instead been perverted into a historical fiction. 
However, note that while the image is unfaithful, the truthful reality can still be glimpsed within the symbol, its influence is still present in the derived meaning.
The third stage is the false image. In this stage, the symbol appears on the surface to be a faithful representation of a reality, but in truth, there is no reality being imitated.
In this stage, the symbol attempts to trick its viewer into believing in the existence of a reality that is entirely absent.
The absent reality's nature is only inferred from the symbol's qualities, and as a collective we begin to believe that this absent reality is actually real.
The fourth stage is the pure simulacrum. The present symbols hold no connection to any reality at all. 
Signs merely reflect fellow signs in a closed loop; reality has been entirely removed from the system all together. 
These four stages exist as an explanation of society in the current day.
We have replaced every trace of reality with symbols and signs, thus transforming our very existence into a simulation of reality.
If we operate under this framework, could it then be that the simulated reality within our own is actually our current reality? 
We have long discarded our original reality in favor of a pure simulacrum, transmogrifying ourselves into a newly simulated reality.
In this way, we would no longer need to hypothesize about possible realities above or beneath our own, but instead could operate under a system where we shed our assigned realities, procedurally substituting them with further simulated replacements.

When considering dimensions, it is inevitable to then consider perspective. After all, we know there to be in the order of quintillions of "eyes" upon our reality at any given moment.
It is axiomatic that we consider our three physical dimensions as consistent across every perspective we have access to. 
However, what of temporality? We measure time as constant across perspectives, however that is not how we experience it. 
An individual's experience of time stretched and compresses. It is tied inescapably to physical reality, to the fluctuations of the cognitive and physical self. 
We also have to consider that these temporal fluctuations are twofold unmeasurable. 
First, for an individual to measure the flow of time within themselves would appear futile, as our understanding of time in entirely tied to our external measure of it's flow. 
It would seem to require entirely divorcing oneself from the external world, perhaps even from one's own body, and then keeping accurate record of one's own experience, while still maintaining that experience. 
That is to say, it is not something as trivial as counting seconds.

quinnigan_clam_F2=
Second, while an individual experiences their perspective, they fundamentally cannot experience another's. 
As such, for any individual external agent, the actual possibility space of possible experiences of time is at all times infinite. 
This is demonstratable in our external system- there is no mathematical limit to the number of times you can divide a second in two, and each of these measures could measure the precision of an internal "second" for another.
If individual experience of time doesn't line up with external clocks, what is the true metric?
Imagine we could sync up all individual's experience of time to a constant metric. 
This would immediately land every individual at a different point in our external timeline, each with their own ever-changing velocity. 
I sometimes wonder, do the people around me actually exist in the same moment as me? Or could they be stuck in the past, or somewhere far ahead? 
We can of course share with each other our experiences here and now, but for them am I something of their past, or of their future?

quinnigan_clam_F3=
According to Einstein's theory of special relativity, light in a vacuum must always move at a constant velocity of ~ 3 x 10⁸ meters per second.
This results in some complications when you remember that the perception of speed is dependent on the viewer's frame of reference.
For example, a person watching a car from the side of the road might observe an object inside the car as moving at 50 kilometers per hour. However, the driver of the car will not see the same object as moving at all, as the driver is moving in tandem with the object.
In fact, every measure of velocity done on Earth is relative, given the fact that the Earth itself is hurtling around the sun at 30 kilometers per second, and the entire solar system is moving at unimaginable speeds around our galaxy, 
which itself is also moving through the universe, which itself is expanding rapidly at every infinitesimal point in space. 
But we, and everything else around us, is bound to the Earth by gravity, so we do not observe the Earth's own movement as movement at all.
This is all to say, this disparity in observed velocity comes into direct conflict with the fixed rule that light in a vacuum will always be observed as moving at the same velocity, regardless of one's own frame of reference.
Because this fact is immutable, everything else must break their own logical behaviors to maintain this consistency. 
The result of this is that objects moving extremely close to the speed of light must experience time itself slower than those outside their reference point. 
The common example provided is that if you take twin siblings and you put one of them in a rocket ship and then launch them out into space at 99.9% the speed of light, by the time the earth-bound twin is old and grey, the space-bound twin will not appear to have aged at all. 
What is the point of all this? 
Well, although this idea is most applicable to speeds close to that of light, technically anything that is moving at a velocity greater than zero will experience this time dilation, albeit to such a miniscule extent that it is virtually undetectable.
Regardless, it is still happening, even if we don't notice it.
If you are sitting down in a chair, and your friend is walking around the room, they are actually experiencing time slower than you are.
This discrepancy is so minimal that it will never result in any sort of acknowledgeable difference.
But even so, it is fascinating to know that your experience of time and position within it is effectively unique.

What does it mean to share space?
We live on a planet inhabited by 8 billion other humans like ourselves, as well as countless other lifeforms.
When you strip away all legal ideas of "ownership" or "property", can anyone possibly claim to own the space they inhabit?
Do we own the space we inhabit at that exact present moment in time?
If so, can we ever truly "share" space with another person?
If I own the exact space I currently reside in, no more no less, and you do the same, then realistically, no two people could ever share their space.
Regardless of how close or intimate we are with another human, we are not superimposed with one another. 
We are still in our separate spaces.
Alone.
As long as we exist in corporeal, physical vessels, we will never simultaneously inhabit the same space as another being. 
We will always be alone.

quinnigan_clam_P2=
And yet,
we manage to share our space anyways.
Despite every universal law dictating that to be a technical impossibility.
Our desire, our {0.5}{!}need{/!}{0.5} to share space with other people, it breaks those laws with ease.
There is some power, some force, one that is indescribable, that binds us all together.
Something beyond all four fundamental forces. Stronger than anything else we know of.
It exists without name or title, undetectable to any form of observation. It is not the work of any religion or belief, nor a gift from any type of god. Yet we all know it well in myriad ways. 
It is the catalyst behind innumerable operations that go on in our minds every day.
Our sense of morality; our attraction to other people; that gut feeling you get that you trust wholeheartedly, even with no real evidence to support it. 
All of those seemingly unexplainable pulls that run through your head.
That is this force at work, guiding our journey in the universe despite the deafening noise around us.

Isn't the sky beautiful?

quinnigan_clam_snowball=
Snowballs are, like the name explains, circular balls of snow that have been created by other people.
They have not been created by any natural occurrence or phenomenon.
No, snowballs can only be created by the hands of human beings, fellow people just like us.
This is troubling for many reasons, albeit, they may not be apparent at first.
So, why does something as humble as a snowball and their relationship with nature cause concern for me?
Well, I will explain, and soon hopefully you will understand what I am trying to articulate.
Snowballs represent all that is evil about humanity.
For longer than history has been recorded, humans have been creative creatures.
We built tools, used those tools to build farms, used these farms to create new types of ways to nourish our hunger...
We found new ways to use what we had created to keep building and keep creating.
You are likely experiencing this message from a human creation, whether it be a computer or some other device.
This is relevant because the snowball flips all of that on its head.
At its core, the snowball is an extremely simple human creation. Anyone can make one, you just ball up snow in your hand.
Admittedly, sometimes the conditions for the creation of a snowball can be rare, but of course, the argument that snowballs are undeniably simple cannot be understated.
Snowballs go against the very core of the human's ability to innovate. Snow on the ground? Ball it up.
And it's not entirely the snowball's fault, even, as the snow that comprises it can sometimes be difficult to work with.
However, with this simplicity a problem arises: What does it mean for us as people to avoid innovation and take new chances?
For us to avoid risks and settle into complacency?
On March 28, 1919, there was an incident on Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in which a nuclear reactor had a meltdown.
Alongside the disaster of Chernobyl in 1986, and even Fukushima in 2011, 2 more nuclear meltdowns, the opinion's public perception of nuclear power and energy drastically shifted.
Many people no longer saw the value of nuclear energy, and many political leaders who had an opportunity to gain profits from certain corporations pushed the idea that nuclear energy would always be dangerous and not worth the risk.
Of course, failure is a risk that humanity will have to reconcile with, and to avoid that truth entirely would be completely nonsensical.
But we could see this refusal of innovation to improve the world we live in take form in a meaningful, understandable way as a result of these three events.
Snowballs are obviously something clearly harmless in nature, of course they would not cause the harm of a nuclear meltdown.
But that is one of the core reasons that I see a problem in the reusage of snowballs as a recurring idea in the general public perception in relation to snowstorms.
Snowballs can be seen as a stand-in for the human's inability to innovate out of fear.
Many people who create snowballs don't for a second think on how they could improve the design because of how simple it is.
Simplicity will often lead to stagnation, and stagnation can even lead to danger if left unresolved for a long time.
Some people may cite the iconic idea of "If it is not broke, then why fix it?" but this is dangerous in and of itself too.
For if we, a species that are destined to innovate and create, fail to do what made our very essence unique from the other life on the earth, then what are we truly becoming?
But, there is another side to this coin.
Another reason that snowballs have become an item of resentment for many people.
Humans, in their endless chase for innovation, at some point developed a penchant for power.
Perhaps it was because our innovation was destined to grant us power over other beings on earth in the first place, or perhaps it was because we simply desire to win over everything else until nothing is left.
Humans are an inherently competitive and ruthless species in most conditions, and it is up to us as individuals to rise above that.
Snowballs are perfect examples of this because of what they are literally designed for in almost every circumstance that they come up in today.
In the 11th century, Johnson Snocorpora coined the term "snowball fight" in an extremely early literary text titled "On Snow And Gods."
Snocorpora describes a sort of ritual in which, after a snowstorm, the peasants of the town would be bombarded with snowballs by the richer inhabitants.
This tradition caught on, but transformed into more of a recreational activity as an exercise in competitive strength against people, visible in the early 1400s which the first visual depiction of a snowball fight was captured in Buonconsiglio Castle in Trento, Italy.
It seems, even in something as beautiful as a snow storm, our humanity has caused us to turn to violence, even weaponizing that against other human beings.
This, undoubtedly, is why I am so concerned with snowballs as a whole. They represent not just our inability to innovate our times, our fixation on the fear of change, but also the violence that is embedded into our very nature.
For if we are not human, if we are not violent, if we do not hold to safety...
Then what are we?
Snowballs are, and always will be, a symbol of harm to the public masses of society.
And you, by specifically requesting snowballs in your prompt, are not just prolonging, but are also promoting the hatred that snowballs support, and should be ashamed.

quinnigan_clam_animals=
Why do other people inspire us? Why do we look to other people for a creative groundwork?
I believe it is another work of that nameless force. 
Crossing all temporal and spatial dimensions. 
Breaking the confines of signs, symbols, and simulacra.
Outspeeding light itself, and occupying every frame of reference. 
It is one of the many ways that we share space with others, allowing our ideas to flow freely from one mind to another, growing and blossoming into creative wonders.
It was there when the old Greek philosophers gathered on the acropolis to discuss the world's psychological curios.
It was there when Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.
Perhaps it was even there before humans existed at all, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth.
It was there when Icarus, yearning for more, wishing to test the limits of human capability, flew so close to the sun.
His wings may have melted, leaving him to plummet back to the ground, but for just a moment, he was there.
We all have a sun that we hope to reach for. We may never touch it; we may never even try.
And many of us will burn up in our seemingly fruitless attempts.
But even so, it is often the flight that aids us most.
For a brief moment, we have defied physics itself. We feel the rushing wind in our hair and the misty air on our face, and that is reward enough. 
Perhaps humanity will never reach the sun, maybe we aren't even meant to. 
But we must never stop trying, for the trying is what makes us human at all.

VSSC_0_Easy_Chelito_postcard= From: Chelito / To: WorldWaker2 {n}{n} From asking you about a colorgrade that one time to making a map for you now, it is truly an honor and a pleasure to map for someone I look up to <3


VSSC_Chelito_Credits= The map uses{# FAC898}Contours of War{#} from the TUNIC ost.
Thank you so much to Samer, Frigusterio, May, Socks and Sunny for playtesting.
And thank YOU for playing!

VSSC_Chelito_Start= You find a note on the floor, the date reads August 8th:
"My head is spinning... how far down did I fall?"
"The air in this place feels ancient and heavy, every surface is covered in dust."
"It feels like something is constantly watching me, but I cannot confirm that is real"
"Seems I lost my backpack as well, I'll have to make do with this notebook"
"I am leaving this note to keep my thoughts organized. It's too quiet down here... but I swear I can hear faint whispers echoing off the walls."
"I need to keep moving."

VSSC_Chelito_Intro= You find a note on the floor, the date reads October 14th:
"How many times have I roamed these same halls now? no matter how much I walk or climb or fight against it."
"It always leads here."
"To this blasted clear."
"Whatever is following me has either lost interest, or is taking its sweet time to stalk me."
"Neither of those thoughts give me any comfort."
"There has to be a way out, there has to be {*}something{/*} I am missing."
"…"
"I must try again."
"It's not like I have any other choice."


VSSC_Chelito_Backtrack= You find a note on the floor, the date reads November 30th:
"Seems this is a dead end."
"No matter where I look there is nothing but solid wall."
"Think, {# F94A4A}{+MADELINE}{#}, think."
"What am I missing."
"Where could the way out possibly be."
"I am leaving this note here for when I inevitably come back, my memory gets really foggy every time I fall back to the clear."
"Let me remind you (myself? whatever) that you have already been here."
"Remember you can dash, you have been doing that, right?"

VSSC_Chelito_WhiteBlocks= You find a note on the floor, the date reads January 12th:
"These white blocks seem to be a central part of the vault's architecture."
"Yet I rarely saw them while I got here, why did they suddenly disappear?"
"Did the manuscripts I found lie to me?"
"It said they were used to harness the power of crystal hearts that were brought back to the vault."
"{# FAC898}But why are they always below a campfire?{#}"
"Maybe if I sit by the fire for a moment, I can clear my head..."
"I did read about how the architects of this place would sometimes hide mechanisms and goodies inside, that can be useful"

VSSC_Chelito_Dreamblocks= You find a note on the floor, the date reads March 2nd:
"This strange jelly like substance I have seen everywhere..it seems to be changing."
"They have been solid as stone ever since I fell down."
"But after setting foot on that clear below me, something happened."
"Could it be that the vault itself reacted to my presence?"
"..."
"That would imply something or someone saw me get here"
"Or that this structure is alive to some capacity"
"...lets push that thought aside."
"Maybe I can use this unexpected change to my advantage."

VSSC_Chelito_Cult= You find a note on the floor, the date reads May 18th:
"I finally caught a glimpse of my stalker."
"It's not some beast lurking in the shadows like I initially thought, god, I wish it was only one."
"They are wearing dark red robes, standing perfectly still on the upper alcoves."
"Just... {*}watching{/*}."
"They don't attack, they don't even flinch when I stare back at them."
"It’s almost worse than being hunted, I am not their prey."
"{# FAC898}I am their test subject.{#}"
"They want to see what I do."

VSSC_Chelito_Loop= You find a note on the floor, the date is illegible, as if the writer lost track of time:
"Finally made it back to the place I fell from"
"I expected to find some answers here but what I found is... honestly far worse."
"Tens, maybe hundreds of rapidly scribbled pages, every single one says the same thing."
" "Jump down, do not forget" "
"They all have the same handwriting"
"My handwriting"
"That's why I keep finding these diary pages everywhere. I have lived this exact moment more times than I can count."
"But now I know more than last time, I have more clues, I have to be close to getting out"
"Jump back down, {# F94A4A}{+MADELINE}{#}, we have work to do"

There has to be at least thirty crimes being committed here.
[MADELINE left distracted]
...But the blood all looks to be ancient. Most of it, at least.
[BADELINE right normal]
Maybe it just showed up one day? 
[BADELINE right scoff]
It is {~}raining{/~} after all.
[MADELINE left distracted]
Hm... As confusing as this area is, this does not bode well for {# FF3A3A}{~}Mr\. Scarlet{/~}{#}'s innocence.
Too concise to self incriminate... Damn, he's a genius.

{# d678db}{~}Part of Me{/~}{#}?
[BADELINE right concerned]
Yeah..?
[MADELINE left panic]
This place is creeping you out too, right?
[BADELINE right worriedAlt]
A little bit, yeah...
[MADELINE left sad]
These parts of cases really... really get me...
[BADELINE right concerned]
Hey. We'll be fine. It's just a little dark in here.
[MADELINE left sad]
You're... you're right. We'll be fine.
[MADELINE left distracted]
I'm just overthinking things.
[MADELINE left sad]
I'm overthinking who could the killer be now that {# FF3A3A}{~}Mr\. Scarlet{/~}{#}'s innocent.
[MADELINE left sadder]
I'm overthinking what happened to {# FF9523}Theo{#} after the killer was brought to the main room.
[MADELINE left panic]
I'm scared that I'm going to get the wrong suspect...
[BADELINE right serious]
Hey. [BADELINE right seriousAlt] Calm down.
[BADELINE right concerned]
We're going to need to work together if we want to get through this mess.
[BADELINE right worried]
It'll be scary, but I believe in us.
[BADELINE right concerned]
Just... Picture the feather. 
[MADELINE left sadder]
No. I'll be fine.
[MADELINE left distracted]
I just need to do this. Get this over with...
And then I'll be able to rest easy.
[MADELINE left determined] 
The last case of my career... I won't let it end cold.

VSSC_ukiran_floating=Well, Detectiveline.
It's time to suss out who did it.
...I'm not scared.
I just need to focus.
Four Suspects. 
Four Weapon Entities.
and Four Possible Rooms.
...Just close your eyes, and focus.
You got this.
Don't move once you're on the block!

Could you mind telling me where you were at the time of the murder?

Of course! That's a reasonable thing.

But I've got a job to do here tonight.
I'm going to need to know where you were at the time of the murder.
[GRANNY right creepB]
Alright, alright, I confess! I was in the Shivery Snowshed at the time of the murder.
I was checking to see if there were any... new materials for my driveway.
I had just finished putting up some bird seed for the flutterbirds when I was ushered back into the main hall by {# 7BD838}{~}Mr\. Green{#}{/~}.

[MADELINE left sad]
Was it someone else screaming, or was it {# FF9523}Theo{#}'s screaming?
[OSHIRO right drama]
I wasn't sure! I ran to the main hall through the exit, and it was there where I learnt that Theo was killed.

I quickly got everyone back to the main hall before calling the police.

Right... Can you elaborate more?

I don't have much I can offer, I'm sorry, Ms\. Detective {+MADELINE}.

Oh God... What if he's going to kill us next? There's already new messes forming... 
[MADELINE left determined]
Don't worry! The last thing we all need right now is paranoia. I'll deal with {# FF3A3A}{~}Mr\. Scarlet{/~}{#} if I need to.

 VSSC_0_Easy_Nyan= Quantum Entanglement Gym
VSSC_0_Easy_Nyan_postcard= From: Nyan // to: eulersnumber{n}{n}A short little demo of what I'm calling {~}"Quantum Entanglement"!{/~}

VSSC_Nyan_Start=
Welcome to the wonderfully weird world of {~}Quantum Entanglement{/~}!
Quantum Entanglement is a recently discovered quirk that can happen in the Vanilla game when using Badeline Bosses.
While this oddity is fun to mess around with, there are a few limitations I want to explain first.
Firstly, due to how Vanilla Badeline Bosses work and the nature of Quantum Entanglement, all rooms below the main Gym room feature a Badeline Boost Orb.
Entering this orb and getting your state cancelled allows you to exit the room from the top.
If you're curious, this is because the camera lock gets disabled. Thanks to Maya for figuring this out!
Secondly, while you can do any tutorial in any order, it is recommended to do them left to right, as some tutorials build off others.
Lastly, for some tutorials, you can only do the technique and survive once, due to relying on the key to move the player.
You usually can do the tutorial again and just die at the end, if you want to try a tutorial again.
With all that being said, have fun and love yourself!
{~}Loving yourself is the key to Quantum Entanglement!{/~}

VSSC_Nyan_Intro= Entanglement Intro
VSSC_Nyan_IntroTut=
As mentioned in the opening message, Quantum Entanglement relies on Badeline Bosses.
The way it works (as I understand it), is when the Player enters the hitbox of the Badeline Boss, they are put into what we will call the {~}Tangled State{/~}.
When in the Tangled State, the Player will lose all control and move towards the Badeline Boss.
In the base game, there is nothing odd about this because there is nothing preventing the Player from reaching the Badeline Boss.
But in this gym, there is.
This causes the quirk of Quantum Entanglement!
Here is a basic setup to showcase Quantum Entanglement.
Without the Badeline Boss, it would be impossible to get the key {~}(or at least very difficult).{/~}
But with Quantum Entanglement, it's easy!
Try it! Dash towards the zip mover and hold grab. The rest will work itself out.

VSSC_Nyan_Cancel1= Tangle Cancel I
VSSC_Nyan_Cancel1Tut=
Entering the Tangled State wouldn't do us very good if you couldn't leave the state.
Luckily, it is very easy to leave this state, as most entities that change the Player state will get us out of Tangled State.
Here is a quick setup that uses some Badeline Boss magic to cause a falling block to hit a jelly to hit another falling block to hit the Player, exiting Tangled State.
Vanilla is awesome because we have do to a million things to do one thing. Yay!
The next tutorial will go into more ways to leave the state.
For now, just step on the Zip Mover, but stay ready to dash into the key!

VSSC_Nyan_Cancel2= Tangle Cancel II
VSSC_Nyan_Cancel2Tut=
Here is another simple set up to exit Tangled State, this time with a Green Booster.
Here is a list of entities that are known (by me) to exit Tangled State:
Boosters, Springs, Feathers, Puffers, Fling Birds, and Ice Balls.
Naturally, things that would actually be cool to cancel your state, like Watchtowers and Holdables, don't.
Despite being able to change the direction the Player is looking, you really have zero input.
Once again, this set up is simple, dash up to the zip mover and hold grab, then be ready to enter the booster and grab the key.

VSSC_Nyan_BlockDrag= Block Dragging
VSSC_Nyan_BlockDrag2=
As it stands, the Tangled State is pretty limited.
But, there is a way to move the player around, if a bit difficult to get the player set up.
If there is a block moving perpendicular directly under the player, it will drag them along with it.
This can be done with any kind of moving block, but faster blocks will have a more dramatic effect, and slow blocks may not produce enough drag at all.
Additionally, in this setup, the player is still trying to move upwards back to the Badeline boss, so as soon as the Player has the chance to move upwards, it will.
Going to the section above this will show that this is true, no matter the conditions. See if you can guess what happens!
For both sections, simply dashing right through spikes will show off Block Dragging.


VSSC_Nyan_HeartClip= Heart Clipping
VSSC_Nyan_HeartClipTut=
In the Block Dragging example, it is difficult but still possible to avoid using Quantum Entanglement.
In this example, it is not.
The Crystal Heart (this one is a fake one), does NOT take the Player out of the Tangled State.
In fact, it doesn't really effect them at all.

VSSC_Nyan_HoldableTangling= Holdable Tangling
VSSC_Nyan_HoldableTanglingTut=
If you thought getting just yourself tangled was crazy...
Imagine getting into the Tangled State while holding a holdable!
This works with all holdables, but we will be using a Jelly due to the Vanilla limitations of Theo.
Uninterestingly, the holdable Tangle State works nearly identically to the normal one, just with the difference of the Player holding the holdable.
Though, you are unable to let go of the holdable at all during the state, so that could lead to some cool set ups.
We play with this idea a bit here.
First, dash into the jelly. Then you'll be put into the Tangled State. Let go of grab.
Once you hit the spring, rehold grab. The jelly will go exactly where it should go every time and the Player will grab the block above it safely.

VSSC_Nyan_TangleExit= Tangle Exiting
VSSC_Nyan_TangleExit_Tut=
Another way to "Tangle Cancel" is by actually getting close enough to touch Badeline.
This completely ends the Tangle State, which, unlike the Tangle Cancel, has Badeline move to the next node.
This can also allow you to get into the Tangle State with the same Badeline multiple times in one room.
Dash right on top of the black X's to see this effect!

VSSC_Nyan_Ending=
That is all we have to show for the Quantum Entanglement Gym.
As you could imagine, it isn't very easy to make actual gameplay which this interaction, especially in Vanilla only.
Though, treat this map as a tech demo and come up with some fun things yourself!
Thanks for playing!

{# c979c7}I really hope you have made it here at least.
I mean you must have or I wouldn't be writing this note.
...
I don't even know why I'm writing this note.
Praying that sometime in the future someone might find them and internalize my advice?
Hoping that it might mean something to me?
I dunno. Something like that.
...{#}

eviekira_7=
Embedded in the cobweb, you find a note on the ground. {0.5}It reads:
{# c979c7} You have made it pretty far. Remember where you started?
I don't know how long I've been here.
I don't know how long you've been here.
But most of me doesn't care.
However long it takes to find my way out of here,
however long it takes I don't care.
I think you need to see that this is all that matters.
I guess if you've made it this far you probably know that already, haha.
...
Isn't it odd that you know where youre going?
Isn't it odd that despite having never been here before, or knowing what this place even is you just happen to find ways to move forward?
Isn't it odd that you are where you are? Remember where you started. 
Isn't it odd that you are hundereds of feet in the air? 
Isn't it odd that you precariously dangle from this fucking broken, battered complex? 
Isn't it odd that you still want to continue?
...
Please keep going.
I know you feel that unmistakeable magnetic force pulling you in the right direction.
It's too late to let it fade. {#}

eviekira_8=
Beside the still warm campfire, you find a note on the ground. {0.5}It reads:
{# c979c7}Oh god it feels weird writing to you again.
I can't remember how long its been. I guess uh, welcome to the top.
...
It might seem weird of me to say you should enjoy the view, considering all I see is more of the infinite digital void...
But..
I think you'll understand.
It's kinda crazy to think about how much I love it up here. This place is starting to feel like a home to me.
...
I think I'll need this key.
I saw another one off in the distance that you'll need too.
...
I know theres still a bit more to go, but, you can enjoy the view.
You know youve earned it.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you for your perseverance.
I'll meet you at the end.{#}

eviekira_9=
Wrapped in the fabric, you find a note on the ground. {0.5}It reads:
{# c979c7}On the edge of oblivion stands a choice.
Do you relinquish your conceptions or do you stay waiting and hoping.
Do you witness your faults and pray they don't take you under?
Or, do you understand that it may be better to pass the torch?
You made the right choice.
You have built the stability you need.
You aren't going to get lost again.
I can find a way back.
If you fall again you wont hit the bedrock.
Just make sure you jump when you hit the bottom. {#}



evie_end= 
{# c979c7}Renewed I find myself at ease.
I know what home feels like.
I know what you know.
You know what I know.
This is it.
You will worry about getting confused.
It's a lifelong practice.
The metal and cement are your support.
You know what home feels like.
Think about what makes you happy.
...
To be a being of the ether requires acceptance.
Your heart is made of scaffolding.{#}

         Alright, there's one sample.
         Onlyyyyyyyy

       [MADELINE left sad]
         Twelve left to go?

       [MADELINE left distracted]
         It's fine. I have a week left.

       [MADELINE left determinedclosed]
         Time to get moving, I guess.

VSSCRatsuneSplitOne=

      [MADELINE left sad]
         This trail is harder to traverse than I remember.

      [MADELINE left distracted]
         Eh, it's fine
         This should make two.
         ...
         Maybe.

       [MADELINE left sad]
         Maybe tonight isn't the best night for this.

       [MADELINE left distracted]
         Maybe I should just head back home for the night.
         I can just make up for it over the remaining days I have left.
         
       [MADELINE left sad]
         I don't know. I'll figure it out I guess.

VSSCRatsuneSplitTwo=

    [MADELINE left sad]
      Okay, this should be three. The trail right ahead should be the best place to get more.

    [MADELINE left distracted]
      ...Then again, I know the trail up this way is quite nice.
      Not good for getting samples but-

    [MADELINE left sad]
      Maybe it could make for a nice break?

    [MADELINE left distracted]
      ...hmmm

    [MADELINE left sad]
     If I have time, that is. I need to get all I can done tonight.

VSSCRatsuneSplitThree=

   [MADELINE left distracted]
     Oh hey, this should be enough for two, brings me up to five.

   [MADELINE left normal]
     Maybe I will be done on time!

   [MADELINE left distracted]
     ...
     I can't get distracted though, I still have work to do.

   [MADELINE left sad]
      I'm so tired but... If I just do one last push
      I can set myself up nicely to finish this week.

VSSCRatsuneSplitFour=

   [MADELINE left distracted]
     Oh... Hello. I didn't expect to see anyone else out here at this time.

   [GRANNY right normal]
    Hello there. Frankly, I didn't either.
    So, why are you out here?

   [MADELINE left sad]
    Trying to finish a project, I came out this way to take a break.

   [GRANNY right normal]
    Figures.
    People are usually only out this late for one of two reasons, to destress or to do something stressful.
   
   [GRANNY right laugh]
    Somehow, you're managing both!

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    Yeah, I suppose I am, huh?

   [GRANNY right normal]
    Well, I'm glad you're taking a break.
    Wouldn't do you any good to grind yourself down until you're unable to work.

   [MADELINE left sad]
     I know, I'm just worried about not finishing in time.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
     In fact I should probably get back to it now
     ...

   [GRANNY right mock]
    You say that, yet you're not moving from where you are.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I guess I just... Kinda don't want to get back to it?

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    This break has been the only respite I've had tonight.
   
   [MADELINE left sad]
    And I guess I just don't want to stop feeling like this, now that I have it?
   
   [MADELINE left distracted]
    Even though I know I really don't have the time for it.

   [GRANNY right normal]
    Well, truth be told, I don't know what to tell you.
    I don't know what it is you need more, rest, or to have something to work on.
    But I trust you'll figure it out.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    Thank you. I think I needed to hear that tonight.

   [GRANNY right laugh]
    Don't mention it!

   [GRANNY right normal]
    I'm just happy I had someone to talk to for a while.
    I should be heading home soon.
    Good luck on your endeavours.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I should stop. That last stretch of the trail

   [MADELINE left sadder]
    actually really started to hurt.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    But- If I get one more I'll be over half done.
    Maybe I should just get it over and done with as fast as possible.
    
   [MADELINE left upset]
    And just be done with this damn project.
    ...Maybe done with any projects for a while.
   
   [MADELINE left sad]
    Theo's house is just up ahead.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
     Maybe that's a better idea. Stop working and go see him?

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    ...

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I don't know. I.
 
   [MADELINE left sadder]
    I'll figure it out.

   [MADELINE left sadder]
     Why do I keep doing this?
     I-

   [MADELINE left angry]
    I'm just so sick of it. Sick of feeling like this.

   [MADELINE left sadder]
    It feels like no matter what, I'm doing something wrong.
    If I'm trying to take care of myself and rest, I'm not working hard enough.
    If I'm working at all, it feels like I'm burning myself out.

   [MADELINE left angry]
    I'm stuck between burn out or wasting my life away, never inbetween.
    It's not fair!!
    I have to push past every time! And every single time it ends up like this!
    ...

  [MADELINE left sadder]
   I've injured myself. Again. Because I pushed too hard.
   I was just.

  [MADELINE left panic]
   I was so scared of not pushing hard enough. Of ending up doing nothing with my time like I used to.
   I- I don't wanna be there again.

  [MADELINE left sadder]

  [MADELINE left sad]
   I need to call Theo. I can't get out of here myself.
   
  [MADELINE left sadder]
   ...Maybe I'm done with this. This hobby. These projects.
   I think it's just more trouble than it's worth.
   I don't wanna hurt myself again.

VSSCRatsuneEndingGood=

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    Alright, that's one more.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    And I think I should call it for the night.
    I should be able to finish this later in the week.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I wish I could just be done tonight.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    But. I just can't do that without pushing myself to a breaking point.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    Don't wanna do that again.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I'm honestly not too sure if my work here is good.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I feel like. I didn't work hard enough.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    And yet I feel like I also wasn't doing enough to take care of myself?

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I'm so exhausted after all of this.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    ...
    But. I'm on track to finish.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    And I didn't hurt myself.
    I...
    I think. I should take Theo up on that therapist he recommended.
    I think it will do me some good.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I need to stop leaving this all to myself.
    ...

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I don't know. But...

   [MADELINE left normal]
    I'll figure it out.

VSSCRatsuneEndingGiveup=
   
   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I'm sure I can finish this up with 6 more days.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    It'll... It'll go fine.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I'll just push harder. I've done it before, I'll do it again.
    It's. Probably for the best.
    ...
    
   [MADELINE left sad]
    I don't know. I'll figure it out.

VSSCRatsuneEndingBreak=

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    That.

   [MADELINE left normal]
    Was a nice walk.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    ...

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I should get back to it.
    But I'm not really sure I want to?

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I've felt okay for the first time since this thing started right now.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I know I should get back to the work I was doing. But I'm just.
    I don't know. I think I should just head home and figure it out later.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I just. Wanna feel okay for a little bit I guess.
    Hm.

   ...

  [MADELINE left sad]

   I'm just so tired.
 
  [THEO right worried]
   Shit I'm.

  [THEO right serious]
   I'm sorry to hear that.
   Do you need anything from me?

  [MADELINE left panic]
   I... I hurt my wrist. I need to get home.

  [THEO right serious]
   Come on inside. I'll get you home as soon as I can. Did you have dinner?
   I'll make you something to eat.

  [MADELINE left panic]
   Thank you... and sorry.

  [THEO right serious]
   Hey, you need help right now, that's not something to apologize for.

  [THEO right worried]
   ...
   I just. 
   Worry about how much you push yourself sometimes.

  [MADELINE left panic]
   I know, I'm just.

  [MADELINE left sadder]
   I'm just worried I'm not doing enough.

  [THEO right serious]
   I know what you mean.

  [THEO right wtf]
   Finding that balance feels impossible.
   It feels like no matter what you do, you're either pushing too hard,
   Or you feel like you're doing nothing.

  [THEO right serious]
   But... 
   Just remember you can only do your best.
   And sometimes, it can feel like that's not enough,
   but I'll be here to help carry it when I can.

  [THEO right thinking]
   Sorry I couldn't help with this one directly.

  [THEO right nailedit]
   It's... Not exactly my area of expertise.

  [THEO right thinking]
   But

  [THEO right serious]
   If you need help taking care of yourself for right now

  [THEO right normal]
   I'm here to help.

  [MADELINE left sadder]
   ...
   Thank you, Theo.
   I just. I don't know how to feel yet. Or if I'll be able to get this done in time.

  [THEO right normal]
   It'll be okay. I know you'll figure it out.

  Well I mean like you can stay I can't really stop you!
  But like yeah it's intended for her
  Hiya Nyan!
  I just wanna say a few things, from me to you
  First thing: I'm really proud of how this map turned out, and I hope you've enjoyed too
  I wasn't really sure how I'd manage with a advanced cap and a story focused map
  But I think I managed well!
  (If we pretend Green Expert is Red Advanced at times)
  I can't lie, this prompt had me very nervous to start
  But honestly, mapping for you had me more nervous
  I did my best to not let it show in my channel because I didn't want it to weigh on my mind too much
  But you've been one of my biggest inspirations in this community
  You're just such a kind individual and the things you've made and participated always made me wanna do better too
  I'm glad we've started talking a bit, you're just so genuine and funny
  And I cannot thank you enough for your kind words for my Where We End Up room,
  And the invitation to Road Trip
  It genuinely brought me back from a very bad case of burnout, and I owe you, Donk, and everyone who participated so much for it
  I don't really know how to end this but
  Thank you, for being the figure you are for the community, and for being my friend :) <3

VSSC_renpinefur_backrooms=
[]
Did you know? 
Backrooms director Kane Parsons is reportedly in Celeste.
He has 20 strawberries on his save file.

VSSC_renpinefur_00_death=
[]
All the books on this bookshelf concern life, except one.
You open it up to a random page. It is entirely covered in scratches.
You flip through the book until you find one paragraph that was left somewhat intact. 
A passage in particular is completely spared. It reads as follows. 
{#9b634c}"Do not be afraid of death."{#} 

VSSC_renpinefur_00_dialog=
[]
A note is scribbled onto a torn piece of paper.
It looks like it was intended for someone else.
{#d06ca6}"Never let me go, okay?"
"I like it here. Don't you? Don't you want to spend all your life in this tower with me?"
"Didn't you want to be with me, always?"
"Forever?"{#}
There is a signature at the bottom but you don't want to recognize it. It tells the truth.
You wonder how you know that.

VSSC_renpinefur_00_garden=
[]
There is a piece of paper on the table that contains various notes, all of which pertain to botany.
In the corner, there is a blurb that catches your eye.
{#84b224}"For some reason, it seems that this place has wonderful plant growth abilities."
"Despite how dry and alien it is, the wheat and grass is far healthier than any other I've seen."{#}
All this strikes you as profoundly uninteresting. You wonder why it caught your eye at all. 

VSSC_renpinefur_00_tower=
[]
There is a whisper on the wind. Or maybe it's just scribbles within the wall. 
Somehow, despite being carved into stone, they're as precise as pen on paper.
{#4f5739}"Objects appear when you're not looking. It's true. I've seen it with my own eyes."
"I've seen crystals of pure sky manifest where there was previously open air." 
"I've seen ground reform from ruin by the abyss to the east."
"I know there's a way to replicate it. The world changes when you change it."{#}

VSSC_renpinefur_01_towergrave=
[]
The headstone is worn and chunks of rock seem to have been carved out of it.
Thankfully, the ground beneath your feet looks undisturbed.
{#617d77}"Here lies a beloved wife"{#}
You imagine there are missing dates on this gravestone, but there seems to be no name.
Was it unimportant? Or was this wife not as loved as she ought to have been? 

VSSC_renpinefur_01_table=
[]
A book is open on the table.
...
...
You do not wish to read it further.

VSSC_renpinefur_01_skeleton=
[]
For some reason, a piece of paper on this corpse lays crisp and clean.
The writing upon it is clearly legible. 
{#d06ca6}"My dear love, didn't you wish to stay with me forever?"
"Didn't you say you'd never leave the tower? Never?"
"Oh, you left while my back was turned. Did you ever love me at all?
"Have you gone further below to escape me? You monster. You demon."
"I curse you. I curse any love and want I may have once held for you."
"May the blood that lies below remind you of me."
"If you come back for me and find this note, I will forgive you."
"I need you and your love, though only if you need mine."{#}
This note isn't signed, though you can see a piece of grave rock next to it. 
It seems to have used to carve letters into the dirt but age has long since erased them.

VSSC_renpinefur_02_fire=
[]
A slab of stone lies in the ground next to the remains of a campfire.
{#4f5739}"The only constants in this world are that there is more above and that there is more below."
"Thus said the girl who came down all those years ago."
"No other constant? I asked and she told me-"{#}
A piece of rock has been chewed out of that part of the slab.
{#4f5739}"So why am I so constantly hungry? Why?" 

VSSC_renpinefur_02_tower=
[]
There is a slab of stone laying atop this tower.
{#4f5739}"The birds that used to shelter here do not anymore."
"I wanted to befriend them at first. I'm not a bad person."
"But when the hunger came,"
"Do you understand what I had to do? Do you understand?" 

VSSC_renpinefur_02_castle=
[]
There is a piece of parchment on the desk. 
The ink glittering on it seems awfully valuable.
{#685c80}"Dear wife! Beloved!"
"It is me, your saviour. That's right. I have found the layer you theorized about."
"Now I am its king. You should see, dear wife, the amount of riches in this beautiful place."
"If you abandon your stupid beliefs and follow me down here you could have everything you've ever wanted."
"It is remarkably easy to get down. Don't worry too"{#}
The letter abruptly ends. This is peculiar, but you don't linger on it too long.

VSSC_renpinefur_02_tree=
[]
A leather-bound diary rests on the ground. There are bite marks all over it. 
{#84b224}"For whomever finds this layer after me, know that the beast cannot climb trees."
"At the very least, it is not yet desperate enough to do so."
{#}

VSSC_renpinefur_04_terrarium=
[]
You're not sure if the thoughts running through your head are real or just the water playing tricks on you.
{#84b224}"I believed it would die when it reached this layer. I hoped it would."
"I now fear that its hunger simply dissipated into the world around it. What was this place like before us?"
"I will keep this remaining hint of nature safe until I no longer am able to."{#}

VSSC_renpinefur_04_treent=
[]
In the shavings of an old tree you can find a message.
{#4f5739}"Even the tree wasn't enough."
"Nothing is enough. I bleed myself and it is never enough"
"They said nobody was monstrous enough to find the beauty below this plane."
"I'm not a monster. I'm so hungry. Do you understand? Do you?"
{#}Your head hurts.

VSSC_renpinefur_04_books=
[]
Most books are gone. Only three remain. Only one is still legible. 
{#9b634c}"The extent of our knowledge on this realm will die with the beast from the fifth field."
"We can follow it no further. The evil in our heart is not great enough."
"Should it reach the temple it would almost certainly progress no further."
"We hoped that within our lifetime we could study something so evil that it could see what no one else has."{#}
You've made it this far. Did you read the words right?

VSSC_renpinefur_05_start=
[]
This corpse looks too human. No beast died here.
It clutches a book like a life depended on it. You shudder to think what it was written with.
{#9b634c}"Before going mad the great beast said there was a temple to the west and it held it over our heads."
"It used our hunger for knowledge against us and now only its children remain outside these walls."
"This is where our hunger ends. We will never forgive it." 
{#}

VSSC_renpinefur_05_beast=
[]
{#4f5739}"I'm no longer hungry. Can you believe that? I'm tired. I could sleep forever."
"I think I ate the part of me that felt the hunger. I became too weak to eat through the ground towards the field below."
"I don't know if it even exists. Maybe this is where it ends."
"Hunger wasn't enough to make it through this hellish place alone. I wasn't tricky enough." 
"I hope no one makes it there. The things I did to this place are too cruel."
"Here lies a beast so foul it turned a city to ash and prosperous field to metal and death."
"I'm sorry."{#}

The shelf is filled with books, all of them in pristine condition.
Yet all of them are empty. The pages are blank. 
You choose not to fill them as some sort of final act.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_Introduction= I scrape a match across the bottom of my boot, and hold it up to my mouth, cupping my hands to protect the precious thing from the whipping winds of my hometown.
It never was my hometown, though.
I moved here… 10 years ago, spurred by some unnatural desire. I come out to the sign to forget, every once in a while.
I don't get more than a few drags into my cigar before the winds burn it all down. I let the heat get closer and closer to my fingers...
I let the tiny stump go. It bounces along the dried and stamped down soil, threatening to spark and take the whole town down with it.
A heel halts its movement, grinding it down into the grit and grime of the gravel road.
Now... entering... [][][][][][][][]...
Ah fuck it, let's get this done.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_A_Well=
Looks like the town's well. The bucket is gone, so this probably hasn't seen use in a long time.
I don't think I ever remember it raining here.
At least, not water.
It's shut with a heavy metal plate, and locked with a mechanism.
No getting around this one.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_A_Hospital=
Red cross means... Hospital, right?
I run my hand along the doorframe and freeze when it gets next to the handle.
Whatever is in here... I don't think I'm ready to face it. Something in my body tells me so.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_A_Store=
The "General Store".
It seems to be completely boarded up...

VSSC_ThySirSlime_A_StoreB=
The upstairs window to the "General Store".
It's open. Or rather, unboarded. There's still a glass pane in the way.
I'd rather not break any property while I'm investigating.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_A_Florist=
A... Florist's? Seems out of place in a Desert like this.
Especially given it's... raining sand.
It seems like at least something got to grow outside, though...

VSSC_ThySirSlime_A_Sheriff=
This looks like the place. No reason to go any further...
I should check out the other buildings before I go in, it looks like I'll need to {#a33838}crouch{#} into the door.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_A_Basement=
A cold draft is coming up from the basement.
The door won't open when I think to pull on it.
I realize its because my arm didn't turn the knob.
I thought to, though.
I also thought to pull on it, didn't I?

VSSC_ThySirSlime_A_Storage=
There's some assorted things scattered here.
Spare gasoline canisters, tools and cleaning supplies, stuff for Christmas and Halloween...
Et cetera.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_FirstSortingA=
The door creaks open, and I step into what I assume is an office...
Papers scatter across every surface of the room. Piles of newspapers on the desk, documents on the walls, and even some sticky notes have crept up to the ceiling.
Whoever was working here evidently wasnt well.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_FirstSortingB=
I leaf through the stack of newspapers on the desk, and the contents swarm in my brain...
My temperature is spiking...
The newspaper tips over as I do too.
"Honey, what's wrong with the baby?"
"He's refusing to eat anything. I've tried some donated milk from the hospital and some formula but he just won't eat anything."
A warm fluid is draining out of the woman's face. For some reason, the man is looking back, saddened.
"What's coming out of your face? Those aren't tears. Those can't be tears."
"Those aren't tears. Those can't be tears. So what's coming out of your face?"
"Honey. What's coming out of your face? Those can't be tears. Not for me-"
I wake up. I'm in a puddle of sweat and tears. It's staining the newspapers. Some are dissolving.
"Shit!"
I scramble to pick them up. I take some of the red string that's laying around and start to pin them up to dry.
As I do, I begin to read them.
Possible ghost sightings in desert town?
Missing persons case dismissed by county sheriff.
Extreme heat nationwide! Odd weather events and dehydration run rampant!
The fever isn't going anywhere. I stumble to the office chair, looking for something to drink.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_FirstSortingC=
As I read the far wall from the desk, I begin to piece something together. It's my job to save this town, right? So why don't I start making theories of what's causing the issues?
The wall. It has multitudes of concepts on it.
I glance through as many as I can lay my eyes upon without developing a migraine any further. Some of these ideas are just downright stupid.
"Haunting causes everyone to kill each other?" Yeah, I'd rather steer clear of supernatural concepts.
"Mass hysteria with unknown results?" Cute. I'll hold onto this one.
"Extreme heat causes people's organs to literally burst out of their chest?" Are we serious?
As I read closer, I realize that some, no, most of this was written by me. That's... well, less work for the me now.
I tear that one from the wall. I should be embarrassed to have even entertained a concept like that.
As the hours pass, the sand is still falling outside, and I've brought the total theories along the walls somewhere into the double digits.
A deep primal urge in my head is beginning to squirm, and I can feel some part of my knowledge base degrading.
"Something feels off. I'm leaving the town."
I took some food and water from under the desk, and shut the door behind me. 

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_Introduction=
I'm smoking again...
There's a note here with a message.
Return 80 to the outer bounds.
I'm not certain if I've ever missed any, but it's coming back to me.
I have a job to do, and it's at city center.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_Rumination=
Things seem different than what I remember...
Ugh... actually? No, my memory is just bad.
Nothing has changed in the town. Not for the last 80 times, and certainly not today.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_Well=
It's sealed tight.
Whatever's down there, seems important. More important than water, if it's a well that's blocked off.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_Hospital=
I approach the door and get a strange sense of deja vu.
It's uncomfortable... And probably not what I'm looking for.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_Florist=
Somehow, this plant is still thriving.
Makes me feel a little better, I guess.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_Store=
Looks like some of the supplies in the attic fell into the window, shattering it.
I could certainly fit through, but I'll need to crawl through the broken glass.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_StoreA=
I tumble inside and glance around rapidly to ensure nobody is home.
The thirty-something cobwebs I am currently drenched in is telling me nobody has cleaned out this attic in years.
The sand rain was letting up, but it's still very nice to be out of it.
There's something ahead...

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_StoreB=
It's an ornate box that's labeled on the outside.
Geodes...
I open it, but it doesn't look like there's anything inside...
The inner lid is covered in warning labels that have been blocked by a sharpie.
I let the box close.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_BasementA=
It's dark and damp down here...
Oh... God...
There's something on the floor over there...

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_BasementB=
Blood.
A dark, viscous, once-crimson-now-blackened coating is all over the floor down here.
No other organic matter is anywhere. It's just blood. Wall to wall.
I feel a fever developing, and I collapse down into the dried fluids.
"Oh my God, he's adorable!"
"What are you going to name him?"
"We haven't decided yet."
The baby starts crying again.
"Aw, is he hungry?"
"We've been trying but he doesn't want to eat anything we've tried."
The guest takes out a pocket knife and cuts clean across their palm.
"What the fuck are you do-"
This person has eyes that are... completely glazed over.
They put their hand on the child's mouth.
Then, the guest fell backwards.
I wake up in the pool of fluids again.
I have to stop doing that.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_B_PaperSorting=
There's an image on the wall of a person with a bandaged hand...
It appears she's in a green building with tile flooring. She looks completely delirious.
Something is itching at me... I pick up some documents, and start to leaf through them.
I'm taking out documents that specifically mention self-harm in some way, and pinning those to the wall around the image.
Feels like a breakthrough, but to what?
I don't think I've ever been in this room before, right?
Something is familiar about the handwriting, but my hand...
Well, it has a ring on it. So maybe my spouse did this.
If I had one of those?
I also pin a note about the geodes up on the board, and accompany it with some assorted evidence regarding mining operations in the desert.
It could be important, but I'm exhausted. I'll need to come back later.
Whoever comes back here next can solve this, right?

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_Introduction=
I let out a heaving cough as I come to my senses again.
81.
It must mean I'm the 81st person to investigate the town, right? Or I suppose, maybe 82nd.
I know what I have to do in there, but I don't remember what's in there, exactly.
Let's cross the threshold again.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_Rumination=
The town is exactly how I remember it.
The rain's let up, too.
Let's see what I can accomplish that my forefathers didn't.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_Well=
It looks like the mechanism is exposed.
Might as well get in there and see what I can find!

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_SewersA=
Bloodstains.
For some reason, I don't even flinch. Like it's all familar to me.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_SewersB=
There's a grate blocking this way.
It's jammed shut... If I want to get deeper in these tunnels, I'll need a tool or brute strength.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_SewersC=
Were there always tunnels down here? 
I shuffle my way into the opened path. Cracks are clearly forming in the ceiling.
I ignore it. I need to keep moving forward.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_SewersD=
I can hear someone off in the deep darkness.
I'm just gonna hope I'm hearing things.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_Hospital=
I turn the knob, and it clicks a few times.
This is what they call "being locked".
I really thought I was ready for what's in there, though.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_Store=
Looks like someone broke in.
I'm just gonna hope they aren't still there, and I'm especially not gonna go check for myself.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_Florist=
The plant looks completely untouched...
It's so weird.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_Sheriff=
I'm almost done cleaning off the floor, it seems.
Feels good to finish up what my predecessors could not.
I play with the ring on my finger as I read through a document with a somewhat familiar symbol, though I can't put my finger on it.
The Organization for Zoning Malicious Anomalies... the document isn't really redacted, except for the names.
Unfortunately the names seem to be a vast majority of the context I would need to understand it.
I string it up alongside the other clusters that seem a little more important.
I feel a headache coming on, but I have the foresight to actually sit down before collapsing.
I am greeted by a surprisingly kind sight.
I see a woman. She has a child swaddled in her arms.
She is tipping a bowl of soup into his mouth...
The child is happily eating.
Something about the sight... makes me...
I vomit on the desk as I wake up.
I haven't thrown up in... like 10 years?

VSSC_ThySirSlime_C_OZMA=
What is that?

VSSC_ThySirSlime_D_Introduction=
I lightly puff on a cigar.
I'm feeling pretty light today, it's my first day on this new job!
At least, that's what I assume. Company said they had to make sure I don't remember things since I'm their test subject.
And the company is always right!
I'm employee number 82. That's what my card says!
Let's go.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_D_Rumination=
What...
Why am I here, again?
I'm feeling pretty good, so I must be on the right track to SOMETHING.
Let's see, fishing around in my pockets~
Ah, "Just go check out the sheriffs. Use the provided camera to take photographs of important information."
"Do not investigate anything unnecessary."
No fun. Well, alright~

VSSC_ThySirSlime_D_Florist=
I should stop into the florist's.
Surely there's some information in there, and if there isn't, well...
I'm sure the flowers are beautiful, even if it's dry out here.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_D_FloristA=
Inside, this place looks nearly untouched!
Holy shit! *Click* Stuff in here is still flowering! *Click*
I waltz over until I see...
Ah. A skeleton. *Click*
Looks like it withered away... There's no sign of attempts by scavengers to peck away at the corpse.
That doesn't seem right.
Y'know, I'm thinking of my family...
My son really hated his vegetables.
How can you? They taste so good!

Why did this person wither away?

*Click* *Click* *Click* 
I snap a few images of the exterior.
Let's go inside. I'm certain there's more information in there.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_D_HospitalA=
It's so cold in here.
The AC is roaring loud, and there are signs of a group of people living here.
I feel like a haze is slowly lifting off of me.
Why do I have a smile plastered on my face?
Shit... those OZMA guys must've drugged me to get me to go in here and do their research...
Looking at the corners of this place, it looks like there are some scorch marks, as if someone used fire indoors here. *Click*
Seems pretty cleaned out, other than that.
Yet again, another skeleton... *Click*
That's strange. As far as the brief told me, there were no survivors past the initial incidents.
What could have happened here?

VSSC_ThySirSlime_D_LateSorting=
I'm looking through the photographs I gathered today.
I don't think I can describe the residents of the town... oh... I don't know if it's the damage they had to their bodies... or if I just can't remember them...
A swell of emotions rises in me, something that usually sends me collapsing to the floor in agony.
Many say exceptions prove the rule... but no exception was made here.
There is a woman sitting at a desk. She's across from... someone in a labcoat. It looks like they're in a greenhouse.
"I was distracted with him.
It was just a few weeks after he was born, and it was a hot Thursday afternoon. Everyone was resting out in the hospital lobby, the only building in town with air conditioning. 
That is, with a few exceptions.
Me and my son, in the cool stone rooms of the jailhouse…
And Abigail Reeves, who was out in the street. Nobody saw her. She wasn’t particularly involved in the community yet. But a stranger out on the street surely saw her. They attacked her and…
One good hit. On her shoulder, severing nerves and rendering that arm immobile. She screamed, but nobody in town heard it. The roar of the fans in the hospital drowned it out. I heard it, though, and fumbled for my badge and pistol .
The one who attacked her was down in a single shot. She scrambled away, thanking me profusely. I had a decision to make.
I thought of my son. My poor, poor son, who refused to eat anything he was offered. He was wasting away, and I had a theory to test. 
She promised never to speak of the incident. I however…
I destroyed the evidence, and my child ate for the third time in his life."
I clamor up against the desk again, and shakily leaf through the documents I've managed to sort today... just based on what I found important.
See, I know that stack shrinks every time someone comes here. I'm down to 28 documents, each with conflicting eyewitness testimony.
They all seem to blame me.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_D_OZMA=
Hey, what are you doing?
Go back. You have a job to do, and we aren't lifting this dome until the problem is dealt with.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_E_Introduction=
...
Ugh...
Do I really have to work with this pounding headache?
Whatever. I've got a job to do, and I'm clearly a professional, or I wouldn't have this half smoked cigar hanging out of my mouth.
I let the tiny stump go. It bounces along the dried and stamped down soil, threatening to spark and take the whole town down with it.
A heel halts its movement, grinding it down into the grit and grime of the gravel road.
I ignore the sign. It doesn't matter.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_E_Sheriff=
I understand, now.
I came to this town to answer a strange calling.
I adopted something I didn't understand.
I killed every person in this town.
Now I need to kill the last vestige of food my son could eat.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_E_Well=
Not just yet...

VSSC_ThySirSlime_E_Storage=
Canisters of gasoline.
I take them.

VSSC_ThySirSlime_E_Ending=
-Mommy...?-
-I missed you... I love you... What are you doing down here?-
-I'm so hungry, mommy.-
"My son... I do."
I empty the canisters onto myself, and cast myself into the pit.
-No... not you, mommy. More people. Only you matter. Only you shou--
The cigar lighter in my hand clicks open.

This map have quite impossible routing, so it'd be better if you watch the intended showcase on NooN's youtube channel
Also let me know if you find any cheeses because this map wasn't playtested enough. Good luck and have fun!

So, you cleared first room, good job! Now you should know that every room is way harder than previous
R1 is yellow intermediate, R2 is red advanced and R3 is yellow expert. Don't forget to use savestates from speedrun tool
You can do this!

VSSC_Sunny_river=A mountain stream that has frozen over. Might be best to try and walk on the rocks. The ice could break.

VSSC_Sunny_sticks={anchor bottom}A pile of sticks.
{anchor bottom}There's quite a lot.
{anchor bottom}Have these fallen from the tree and the wind gathered them all here?
{anchor bottom}These seem almost unnatural.
{anchor bottom}It's not worth lingering.
{anchor bottom}If only the wind wasn't howling so strongly, maybe you could've started a fire.

VSSC_Sunny_rock={anchor top}An oddly shaped rock.
{anchor bottom}Were it the elements that weathered it down to this point?
{anchor bottom}It seems strangely smooth, almost like a place to sit.
{anchor bottom}It's too {*}{#ccfffd}Cold{#}{/*} to sit though.

VSSC_Sunny_snowballs=The wind feels like it's getting stronger. Maybe you should watch out.

VSSC_Sunny_flag=A flag..
Has someone been here?
Someone's definitely been here.
But, how long ago?
The flag seems all old and worn from the wind.
Regardless, someone's been here..
Maybe there's hope for you after all.
Maybe there's supplies up ahead.
Maybe there's someone up ahead.
Maybe you'll find a town just over this mountain.
Maybe you're saved.
You're filled with a bit of hope.
Hope that makes you want to {~}dash{/~} ahead and find something,
anything,
anyone,
to save you.

VSSC_Sunny_Grave=It's a rock with writing on it.
Seems like it's in a different language, or perhaps it has weathered down so much it's illegible.
The letters are large and underneath is a skull carved into the stone.
Maybe it's a grave?
It's ominous either way though, what would a grave be doing out here?
Maybe it's warning you not to go further but..
What choice do you have anyway?
You choose to ignore it.

VSSC_Sunny_sign=An old, eroded sign, with text on it and a symbol telling you not to go further.
You approach it to read the text.
It's so dark... It's hard to read.
You squint your eyes.
Most of the letters are illegible, but...
----- --- ------ -------- 1956 --- --- ----- --- DANGER --- AHEAD ----- ----- ----- ----- ------ ----- --- --- ----
------------ ------ -------- -- -- ---------- ------ ---- ----- ----- ---- DO NOT APPROACH ---------- --------- -------
...
...
This is starting to seem like a really bad idea.
But, you don't really have any other options.
The sign was placed here a while ago, anyway.
It's been decades.
Surely even if there was something up ahead, it's gone by now.
You decide to ignore the warning and keep going.

VSSC_Sunny_bonfire=A bonfire. It's still warm.
Someone's definitely been here.
You frantically look around.
You feel paranoid.
Is someone here with you?
Someone is here with you.
You spot a figure in the dark and
Nevermind.
You're just seeing things.
It's nothing.
It's nothing.
It's nothing.
{*}It's nothing.{/*}

VSSC_Sunny_tree=A lone tree looms over you.
Large enough to shelter you from the wind and snow.
You could rest here.
...
You see footsteps in the snow, leading away from the tree.
Someone's been here.
You hear someone calling to you.
Someone is here.
You have to keep going.

VSSC_yoshachobi7_bossbaby10=
The film begins with enough material to make an animated short, and director Tom McGrath ("Madagascar") and screenwriter Michael McCullers ("Austin Powers," "Baby Mama") add sibling rivalry. Ralph Bakshi, known as "Fritz the Cat," hates his parents' loving abuse and dreams of becoming a corporate thief.

# Moving the textbox: {anchor top}, {anchor middle} and {anchor bottom} allows the texbox to appear in different vertical positions. 
# Keep in mind that if this is used in the middle of a line, this will close the textbox and reopen it.
# New line: New{n}line. It creates a new line in the same textbox without progressing to a new one (page break).
# Pauses: Pause{0.5} between {0.5} words. This sentence will stop for 0.5 seconds between each word.
# Triggers: {trigger #}. This will play a coroutine (i.e. make a character do something, make something happen, etc.) 
# in the middle of the dialog, with # being a numbered index starting from 0, referring to which coroutine to play. 
# This is usable with code mods via the Textbox.Say method, which takes the dialog ID, and (optionally) one or multiple extra arguments 
# each containing a coroutine to be played with trigger. Optionally, you may include some text after the number (e.g. {trigger 0 Maddy walks to the right}). 
# That text won't be parsed, so it merely serves as a comment describing what the coroutine will do (think stage directions). {silent_trigger #} works the same, 
# but it can be used in the middle of a character's speech without closing the textbox.

Hi! I'm the wise mystical Gage! Just kidding. I'm ABuffZucchini! This map is for Chelito!
He requested wholesome beginner, and I'd also like to thank the organizers for being so kind as to give me this prompt. 
Not only do I love making this sort of stuff, but it's also sick to finally make something for Chelito!
I'd also like to credit two things here; music and playtesting!
The music is from LittleBigPlanet 3, Titled "The Ziggurat" by Winifred Phillips.
Additionally, thank you Snip for helping me debug a weird vanilla behavior with music stuff.
For playtesting, I'd like to thank GlerG, Donk, Crispybag and tobyaaa! I always like to think I have map making figured out but it's never something you can figure out alone.
Anyways, have fun, and don't get lost!

VSSC_ABuffZucchini_baby=

Hello, lady!
[madeline left normal]
Hello! I wasn’t expecting company.
[]
You shouldn’t have come to the forest then! Like, everyone’s planted their roots here, it’s busy!
[madeline left distracted]
Apologies, I’m a tad lost. What do you mean by planting your roots?
[]
Ack! I'm not sure! It’s mostly just a saying, and I'm just a little sapling. I know that all the old trees have done it already, and I know it's a really big deal!
I've kinda just been focusing on leaves right now, that's a whole thing, you know how it is.
Or maybe you don't actually! You don't look very much like a tree.
[madeline left sad]
No, but I can imagine.
[]
Anyways, thanks for saying hi! If you'd like, I have a key just floating around, it might be useful in your journey.
You might not need it at first, and I’m sure there’s more hiding in the forest elsewhere, but it’s always important to have more keys! My buddy Maple told me that. 
[Madeline left NORMAL]
Thanks!

VSSC_ABuffZucchini_adult=
[]
Hello, small one!
[madeline left distracted]
Oh, hi. I wasn’t really sure what I'd find here.
[]
In the forest? Why, trees of course!
[madeline left distracted]
Well I mean, I know that. I meant this temple specifically. Didn’t seem like something trees would be interested in.
[]
Why, that’s what I’m here for. My roots are here to open up the temple! 
It keeps the plants watered, and catching rays of sunlight from the above-ground. Very important stuff, appointed by the elder mushrooms.
[madeline left normal]
Oh, I see! That makes sense.
[]
I don’t often get visitors, although the reason why eludes me so. Does nobody appreciate a good temple anymore?
[madeline left sad] 
There wasn’t much of any floor. It wasn’t very easy to visit.
[]
Oh, yeah, that makes sense. 
You know when you think you remembered everything but then can’t help but feel like you forgot something, but you don’t know what it was because you forgot it?
{~}Anyways...{/~}
My key, would you like it? I have chosen my place to stop for now, I’ve no need for a key.
The doors here don’t work with this key, anyhow.
[madeline left normal]
Wow, thanks, it never hurts to have an extra!
[]
Safe travels!


VSSC_ABuffZucchini_elder=
[]
Lady, listen to my wonderful wisdom... there isn't much time...
I mean, there's {~}some{/~} time, but I'm a busy tree! 
[madeline left distracted]
Yep, that makes sense. [madeline left normal]What wisdom do you have to offer?
[]
Well it depends, why are you here?
[madeline left distracted]
... Well, I guess I mostly just got lost. I'm not really sure what I'm doing here.
At first, I just wanted to clear my head, make it back to my car, and head back home. I mean, I still do want to do that, but...
[madeline left sad]
There's more to this place, something that can only be felt, and I wasn't sure what it was at first.
[]
Yes, yes! The earthworms and the birds are discordant yet ever-repeating! The rays of sun ebb and flow through our leaves like brilliant fireworks, as we bask in the inverse!
[madeline left distracted]
Oh, I meant more of a metaphorical thing. [madeline left sad]Like, my city seems so busy and hectic all the time, and then I went here to clear my head and it didn't really feel any different.
[]
It sounds like we're describing the same thing.
[madeline left distracted]
Huh.. [madeline left normal]I guess so!
[madeline left sad]
I will say, I keep having to make all these twists and turns to find keys, which I can't say I was expecting on a nature walk.
[]
Ah, yes. I have felt it. Those twisted doors keep showing up, it does not feel malicious, but misguided. I worry about the fate not of the forest, but the one who brought these doors to it.
I can feel more up ahead. Please, lady, take my spare key, for emergencies. You may need it for your journey.
Now off with you. I must tend to my saplings, and once that's done, take a 4 month long nap. 
[madeline left normal]
Thank you!

VSSC_ABuffZucchini_chud=
[]
Ah, a visitor.
[madeline left distracted]
Yeah, you made it difficult, but I felt like I needed to. Are you the one who’s been building all these doors?
[]
It was me, yes. I’m sorry. You’re probably really mad aren’t you.
[madeline left angry]
I think it’s fair to be upset. What isn’t fair is slowing down the whole forest like that! The little critters don’t know how to open doors.
[]
I know. I just...
I needed things to slow down for a bit, y'know? Everyone else seemed to know exactly where they were growing, but what if I change my mind? 
What if I make the wrong choice because I didn't think about it long enough, and I get stuck somewhere I hate being.
I just needed a little bit more time, I swear! 
[madeline left surprised]
…
[madeline left sad]
…
[madeline left sad]
Hey, I get what you're feeling, believe me.
I've been there, it's hard!
But it doesn't help anyone to lock yourself away and disrupt the world around you, just because you don't know what you're doing yet.
It’s like, you need to step aside instead of stepping in the way, I guess. 
[madeline left normal]
Ask around! Locking yourself away from everyone that could answer your question is a pretty bad way to answer it.
[madeline left distracted]
I get choice paralysis, but this is too much.
[]
Dang, you’re right. I spent so much time stuck in my head that I forgot about everyone else.
[madeline left sad]
I guess you could say you… [madeline left normal]missed the forest for the trees?
[]
Ok, that one was good. That’s clever.
[madeline left sad]
You really haven’t heard that one before?
[]
Well I have, but it made sense here. Lifted my spirits a bit!
I’ll try to get out there more, thanks for the pep talk.
[madeline left normal]
Anytime.

  [MADELINE right distracted] I've been thinking about it for a while.

VSSC_cloudsbelow_intro2=

  [BADELINE left normal] what for?
  [MADELINE right normal] mostly to entertain myself
  [MADELINE right sad] but I kinda hope that one day I'll write it down and share it, maybe even properly publish
  [MADELINE right determined] but for that it needs to be perfect
  [BADELINE left normal] neat!

  [BADELINE left normal] hey, so what are all of these?
  [MADELINE right normal] turns of phrase,{0.2} emotions I want to convey,{0.2} small subplots.
  [BADELINE left upset] oh cool.{0.3} all part of the story?
  [MADELINE right sad] mostly. {0.5} really,{0.15} I just have a vague idea of the sentiments I feel when I daydream
  [MADELINE right peaceful] then I try to just string them together properly.
  [BADELINE left normal] huh.{0.5} so when are you going to share these stories with me? {0.3} I wana see too.
  [MADELINE right distracted] um, I'm not sure they're ready yet.
  [BADELINE left concerned] I'm {~}part of you{/~}, you know.
  [BADELINE left scoff] I mean, we're just imagining this dialogue right now
  [BADELINE left upset] but I know just as well as you do what we're thinking about.

  [MADELINE right upset] ...

VSSC_cloudsbelow_a1b=

  [MADELINE right distracted] ah alright.{0.3} take a look.
  [MADELINE right normal] here's how I imagine the first chapter would go.
  [BADELINE left normal] oh wow, pretty dazzling!
  [MADELINE right normal] mhm, I've been thinking about it for a while
  [MADELINE right peaceful] so any time I get an idea I can just tack it on.
  [BADELINE left normal] I'll read it now!
 
VSSC_cloudsbelow_a1i1=

  [BADELINE left scoff] that beginning was great
  [MADELINE right determined] it's the start, so it has to be absolutely perfect.

  [BADELINE left normal] that motif was also really nice.
  [MADELINE right peaceful] thanks!

VSSC_cloudsbelow_a1e=

  [BADELINE left normal] wow, that was pretty good. 
  [BADELINE left scoff] I especially liked the conflict right at the start.{0.3} it's a good hook.
  [MADELINE right normal] that's good,{0.2} it's the establishing part and the reader's introduction to the story, 
  [MADELINE right distracted] so it has to be absolutely perfect.
  [BADELINE left normal] what's next?
  [MADELINE right distracted] hmmm,{0.3} I'm not sure I liked how this chapter ended.
  [MADELINE right sadder] too conclusive and abrupt,{0.3} what if it doesn't lead in to the next part well?

VSSC_cloudsbelow_a2b=
  {anchor top}
  [BADELINE left concerned] hey, {0.3} this looks familiar. 
  [MADELINE right sad] yea, I thought there were some issues at the beginning.
  [MADELINE right normal] I feel like I dangled too many hooks without using them.
  [BADELINE left upset] it was pretty good,{0.15} though.
  [BADELINE left scoff] if you get stuck on this first chapter you'll never reach the later parts.
  [MADELINE right angry] the introduction is really important, though!
 
VSSC_cloudsbelow_a2e=

  [BADELINE left upset] I mean{>> 0.4}...{>>}{0.3} I suppose it could be considered better?
  [BADELINE left scoff] there are a few parts I miss about the old one but this new direction was nice.
  [BADELINE left normal] what comes next?
  [MADELINE right distracted] I don't know yet{>> 0.4}...{>>}
  [MADELINE right sadder] if we don't get this part perfectly, the rest won't be any good either.
  [MADELINE right sad] If we commit to a flawed start,{0.2} we've already failed
  [BADELINE left upset] {+MADELINE}, if the next part never gets written 
  [BADELINE left concerned] that's worse then being somewhat short of perfect.

VSSC_cloudsbelow_a3b=

  [BADELINE left sigh] this again?
  [MADELINE right distracted] I had another idea. 
  [MADELINE right peaceful] it's probably better this way.

  [BADELINE left upset] but?
  [MADELINE right panic] I just forgot it.
  [MADELINE right sadder] it followed up from the introduction so smoothly but{>> 0.4}...{>>}
  [MADELINE right distracted] well,{0.3} we'll need to start thinking from scratch.
  [BADELINE left concerned]{+MADELINE},{0.5} do we actually want to finish this story one day?
  [MADELINE right sad] yes.
  [BADELINE left normal] then we should try actually writing instead of just dreaming,{0.2} right?
  [MADELINE right sadder] no we can't. 
  [MADELINE right sad] I'm not ready yet,{0.5} nothing is ready.
  [BADELINE left sigh] hey let's just give it a shot.

VSSC_cloudsbelow_b1b=
  {anchor top}
  [MADELINE right sad] what if we fail?
  [MADELINE right normal] the ideas are so clear in my head
  [MADELINE right sadder] but what if the words I put them into fall short?
  [MADELINE right sad] I feel like I'd be letting us down.
  [BADELINE left normal] well we could at least try
  [BADELINE left scoff] I mean,{0.5} what's the worst that could happen?

VSSC_cloudsbelow_b1i1=
  {anchor bottom}
  [MADELINE right sadder] that was awful.
  [MADELINE right sad] nothing like how we had been imagining it.
  [BADELINE left upset] I mean,{0.3} this is our first time actually writing this down.
  [BADELINE left normal] We're still learning,{0.5} it's not weird that we can't write as vividly as we can daydream yet,{0.15} right?
  [MADELINE right sad] I suppose{>> 0.4}...{>>}{0.3} and putting it onto paper did at least show me a new angle.
  [BADELINE left normal] right?

VSSC_cloudsbelow_b1i2=
  {anchor bottom}
  [MADELINE right sad] this one too{>> 0.4}...{>>}{0.3} it's just not coming out the same.
  [BADELINE left sigh] it's fine.
  [BADELINE left normal] the phrasing may have been clumsy,{0.3} it may not have been as eloquent as we would have liked
  [BADELINE left upset] but we're still conveying what needs to be said,{0.2} right?
  [MADELINE right sad] I suppose so.

VSSC_cloudsbelow_b1e=
  {anchor bottom}
  [MADELINE right determined] that was{>> 0.4}...{>>}{0.3} actually alright?
  [BADELINE left normal] mhm.{0.2} I still thought it enjoyable, at the very least.
  [MADELINE right sad] I still am not very happy with it though.
  [BADELINE left normal] it's not like you can't keep revising just because it's been written down,{0.15} right?
  [MADELINE right peaceful] right.
  [MADELINE right normal] but I think that, at least for now, 
  [MADELINE right peaceful] I'm finally feeling like progressing to the next part

   [MADELINE left sad]
    Trying to finish a project, I came out this way to take a break.

   [GRANNY right normal]
    Figures.
    People are usually only out this late for one of two reasons, to destress or to do something stressful.
   
   [GRANNY right laugh]
    Somehow, you're managing both!

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    Yeah, I suppose I am, huh?

   [GRANNY right normal]
    Well, I'm glad you're taking a break.
    Wouldn't do you any good to grind yourself down until you're unable to work.

   [MADELINE left sad]
     I know, I'm just worried about not finishing in time.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
     In fact I should probably get back to it now
     ...

   [GRANNY right mock]
    You say that, yet you're not moving from where you are.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I guess I just... Kinda don't want to get back to it?

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    This break has been the only respite I've had tonight.
   
   [MADELINE left sad]
    And I guess I just don't want to stop feeling like this, now that I have it?

    Even though I know I really don't have the time for it.

   [GRANNY right normal]
    Well, truth be told, I don't know what to tell you.
    I don't know what it is you need more, rest, or to have something to work on.
    But I trust you'll figure it out.

   [MADELINE left distracted]

   ...Maybe I'm done with this. This hobby. These projects.
   I think it's just more trouble than it's worth.
   I don't wanna hurt myself again.

VSSCRatsuneEndingGood=

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    Alright, that's one more.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    And I think I should call it for the night.
    I should be able to finish this later in the week.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I wish I could just be done tonight.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    But. I just can't do that without pushing myself to a breaking point.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    Don't wanna do that again.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I'm honestly not too sure if my work here is good.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I feel like. I didn't work hard enough.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    And yet I feel like I also wasn't doing enough to take care of myself?

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I'm so exhausted after all of this.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    ...
    But. I'm on track to finish.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    And I didn't hurt myself.
    I...
    I think. I should take Theo up on that therapist he recommended.
    I think it will do me some good.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I need to stop leaving this all to myself.
    ...

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I don't know. But...

   [MADELINE left normal]
    I'll figure it out.

VSSCRatsuneEndingGiveup=
   
   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I'm sure I can finish this up with 6 more days.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    It'll... It'll go fine.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I'll just push harder. I've done it before, I'll do it again.
    It's. Probably for the best.
    ...
    
   [MADELINE left sad]
    I don't know. I'll figure it out.

VSSCRatsuneEndingBreak=

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    That.

   [MADELINE left normal]
    Was a nice walk.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    ...

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I should get back to it.
    But I'm not really sure I want to?

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I've felt okay for the first time since this thing started right now.

   [MADELINE left sad]
    I know I should get back to the work I was doing. But I'm just.
    I don't know. I think I should just head home and figure it out later.

   [MADELINE left distracted]
    I just. Wanna feel okay for a little bit I guess.
    Hm.

VSSCRatsuneEndingTheo=

  [MADELINE left distracted]
   ...hey Theo.

  [THEO right normal]
   Oh shit, hey!

  [MADELINE left sad]
   Hi. I hope you're well tonight.

  [THEO right normal]
   I am, thank you.

  [THEO right thinking]
   Yourself?

  [MADELINE left distracted]
   I'm doing.
   ...

  [MADELINE left sad]
   Being honest I'm not doing great.
   
  [MADELINE left panic]
   I've been up trying to finish this stupid project and-
   I'm just so tired.
 
  [THEO right worried]
   Shit I'm.

  [THEO right serious]
   I'm sorry to hear that.
   Do you need anything from me?

  [MADELINE left panic]
   I... I hurt my wrist. I need to get home.

  [THEO right serious]
   Come on inside. I'll get you home as soon as I can. Did you have dinner?
   I'll make you something to eat.

  [MADELINE left panic]
   Thank you... and sorry.

  [THEO right serious]
   Hey, you need help right now, that's not something to apologize for.

  [THEO right worried]
   ...
   I just. 
   Worry about how much you push yourself sometimes.

  [MADELINE left panic]
   I know, I'm just.

  [MADELINE left sadder]
   I'm just worried I'm not doing enough.

  [THEO right serious]
   I know what you mean.

  [THEO right wtf]
   Finding that balance feels impossible.
   It feels like no matter what you do, you're either pushing too hard,
   Or you feel like you're doing nothing.

  [THEO right serious]
   But... 
   Just remember you can only do your best.
   And sometimes, it can feel like that's not enough,
   but I'll be here to help carry it when I can.

  [THEO right thinking]
   Sorry I couldn't help with this one directly.

  [THEO right nailedit]
   It's... Not exactly my area of expertise.

  [THEO right thinking]
   But

  [THEO right serious]
   If you need help taking care of yourself for right now

  [THEO right normal]
   I'm here to help.

  [MADELINE left sadder]
   ...
   Thank you, Theo.
   I just. I don't know how to feel yet. Or if I'll be able to get this done in time.

  [THEO right normal]
   It'll be okay. I know you'll figure it out.

  Hi! This message is intended for Nyan. If you're not her.
  Well I mean like you can stay I can't really stop you!
  But like yeah it's intended for her
  Hiya Nyan!
  I just wanna say a few things, from me to you
  First thing: I'm really proud of how this map turned out, and I hope you've enjoyed too
  I wasn't really sure how I'd manage with a advanced cap and a story focused map
  But I think I managed well!
  (If we pretend Green Expert is Red Advanced at times)
  I can't lie, this prompt had me very nervous to start
  But honestly, mapping for you had me more nervous
  I did my best to not let it show in my channel because I didn't want it to weigh on my mind too much
  But you've been one of my biggest inspirations in this community
  You're just such a kind individual and the things you've made and participated always made me wanna do better too
  I'm glad we've started talking a bit, you're just so genuine and funny
  And I cannot thank you enough for your kind words for my Where We End Up room,
  And the invitation to Road Trip
  It genuinely brought me back from a very bad case of burnout, and I owe you, Donk, and everyone who participated so much for it
  I don't really know how to end this but
  Thank you, for being the figure you are for the community, and for being my friend :) <3
