SSC2025_SENSELESSSPIRIT_PLAYTESTER_MESSAGE= [META] Hi! Mapper here.
Because this is a playtesting build,{n}I'm inside your walls.
{~}:3{/~}
Anyway, important thing here is:
Normally each iteration of this map would be unlocked in a sequence, but this is playtesting, and I'm not {!}that{/!} evil. The map(s) need playtesting, after all.
So! One thing works differently at the moment compared to intended, normal play.
If you restart the map, it will actually change which version of the map you're playing.{n}{+THOUGHT}This would normally not be the case!{+ENDTHOUGHT}
That's because the trigger that randomly rolls a version of the map to play is non-persistent, when in the final build it {~}will{/~} be persistent.
{+THOUGHT}Also only one of the maps actually finishes for now{n}ALSO also all of the music isn't made yet{+ENDTHOUGHT}
Just some stuff to know while doing things with this; happy playtesting!

Dude, you're blushing.{n}...Your cheeks are so red you look like you could be melting, heh. ...Metaphorically, I mean.

This is true; and he is made out of mostly magic instead of flesh and blood, so he would not neccesarily experience warmth from being flushed.

...Right, I suppose so, Jorie.
Hey, guys, the marshmallows are almost done!
R-right, right--
I suppose you {~}have{/~} been cooking them all this whole time, Alephi.
Hey, Allie, that reminds me... you wanna go exploring later? I heard the Apvis live nearby, and they have some super cool stuff.
Yeah, sur-{trigger 0}
{trigger 1}...Remember, you two, there's still that test on metaphysics this week. I'm not cancelling it just because you three are special.

Th-thank you, Ms\. Espiae--{n}...Er, J-jorie...
...E-every time I try to s-study that stuff, my m-mind turns to slush... it's s-so... {*}weird.{/*}
Do not worry too much about it. I understand your perfectionist tendencies with your schoolwork, but...
Being perfect for the sake of everyone else and allowing yourself to falter to exhaustion...
It is unsustainable.
This goes for all of you; starting now, your alarms to wake up in the morning should be no less than an hour after dawn. Get enough rest for your training.
U-understood, ma-a'am...
Oh, for fuck's sake... The commons is too {!}busy{/!} in late morning for me to get breakfast...!{n}...Pardon my language...
...And dawn is the best time for my fortune-telling; how am I supposed to get better at it if the rising sun is in my eyes the whole time...?
These problems have simple solutions to them, young ones. Not convenient, but simple.
If you properly appreciate the gravitas of your endeavors with the Celestials, I'm sure you'll come to find them sooner than you think.
