Eepy Madeline #1

VC2023_Pogseal_tutorial1= To make it across the gap, step on the zip mover and quickly after it starts moving, dash into the dream block and jump. 
For this and all the following tricks, buffering the input inside the dream block may help.

VC2023_Pogseal_tutorial2= Here, do a similar action to before except instead of jumping, dash down right out of the dream block to ultra.

VC2023_Pogseal_tutorial3= This next move is a combination of the previous two. Here, jump out of the dream block and quickly dash down right to ultra on the platform.

If done correctly, you should get a bunch of speed to clear the gap.

VC2023_Pogseal_tutorial4= Basically do the same stuff as before. Dash off the zip mover on its way up and dream jump.

{# F94A4A}{savedata Name}{#}{#9599a1}, if you are receiving this message, the {#}{#3e6bbd}Icarus Space Station{#}{#9599a1} has experienced a catastrophic event.
A fleet of rescue drones have been deployed to scout your surroundings and determine the safest evacuation route to the nearest rescue point.
We have also deployed emergency guidance holograms to show you the route you will need to take to get to safety.
We will await your arrival at the rescue point.
Godspeed, {#}{# F94A4A}{savedata Name}{#}{#9599a1}.
You can do this.{#}

VC2023_AlexVI_room1= 
[EX_PHONE right normal]
{#9599a1}The first thing you'll need to do is a {#}{#ff1144}cornerslip{#}{#9599a1}.
A coyote jump is a leniency mechanic that allows you to jump for a few frames after leaving the ground.
When you are one pixel above the ground, you will get coyote frames but you don't lose vertical momentum if you don't collide with the ground.
This lets you get coyote frames without losing your speed and makes a {#}{#ff1144}cornerslip{#}{#9599a1} possible.
Here, you can do a {#}{#ff1144}cornerslip{#}{#9599a1} with normal ultra inputs, just make sure to input the jump and down-right dash when touching the refill crystals.
The refills crystals make what would otherwise be a 1 frame timing into 4 frames by providing 3 {#}{#ff1144}freeze frames{#}{#9599a1}.
After the {#}{#ff1144}cornerslip{#}{#9599a1}, you need to enter the booster in a crouched state. You do this by crouching when jumping on the block after the {#}{#ff1144}cornerslip{#}{#9599a1}.
Entering a booster while crouched makes the booster activate two pixels higher up, this is called an {#}{#ff1144}archie{#}{#9599a1} and allows you to make it through the spinner gap.
When you get to the swap block, climb to the top and do an up-right dash, hold left and jump when colliding with the wall.
This will make you fly to the left and is called a {#}{#ff1144}momentum carry{#}{#9599a1}.
After climbing up the wall you need do a hyper, then buffer an up-left demo and cornerboost on the block to make it into the next room.{#}

VC2023_AlexVI_room2=
[EX_PHONE right normal]
{#9599a1}This first manoeuvre is called a {#}{#ff1144}cornerglide{#}{#9599a1}.
To perform it here, you need to hyper and buffer an up-left demo. 
A {#}{#ff1144}cornerglide{#}{#9599a1} works because your speed is stored for 4 frames after you hit the wall when dashing into it.
If you clear the wall within those 4 frames, you will get your speed back. It's the same reason that cornerboosts work.
After the {#}{#ff1144}cornerglide{#}{#9599a1}, you jump on the block and buffer an up dash, which will set up a spiked wallbounce.
Make sure to be holding left when you do the jump for the wallbounce.
After wallbouncing, buffer an up dash, move left and buffer a down dash, which sets up a cornerjump at the bottom.
The cornerjump will set up a demo dash through the spinners if you demo at the peak of your jump.{#}

VC2023_AlexVI_room3=
[EX_PHONE right normal]
{#9599a1}An ultra gives you a 1.2x speed boost when you hit the ground. Here, you delay the 1.2x boost by first doing a cornerboost.
You will get the speed from the ultra when landing on the block to the left. It's called a {#}{#ff1144}delayed ultra{#}{#9599a1}.
After the {#}{#ff1144}delayed ultra{#}{#9599a1}, buffer ONE climbjump on the wall to get into the gap crouched.
There is a quirk called wall priority which makes it so that climbjumping on the left wall in a 1 tile space will result in a wall jump, loosing your crouched state. 
If you do it on the right wall though, you will still do a climbjump, keeping your crouch. But here it's better to do one climbjump before getting into the 1 tile space.
The best way to get through the spike tunnels is to do two quick hops, and then a full height jump to get to the next floor.
At the top you need to do an instant hyper, which just means dashing and jumping at the same time. It is recommended to do nothing except demo and jump.
Afterwards, there are a few cornerboosts and ends with a demo through the tunnel.{#}

VC2023_AlexVI_room4=
[EX_PHONE right normal]
{#9599a1}This manoeuvre might look strange. It is called a {#}{#ff1144}dashbounce{#}{#9599a1}.
A wallbounce lasts for 15 frames while a dash lasts for 12 frames.
By dashing within the first 2 frames of a wallbounce, you will still get a little bit of vertical momentum from the wallbounce when the dash ends.
Cancel the wallbounce with a demo dash since you need to buffer a crouched climbjump to make it over the wall. 
Do a cornerjump with the booster and {#}{#ff1144}archie{#}{#9599a1} into the next booster. 
The last section is a setup ceiling pop. All you need to do is climb jump just as you pass under the spiked tiles.{#}

    Finally, I've made it.
    Security was tougher than expected, but nothing I couldn't handle.
    [madeline left sad]
    They told me to send a transmission via the console once I arrived.
    [madeline left distracted]
    Here goes nothing.

VC2023_aonkeeper4_intro0_1=
    [madeline left distracted]
    Alright, I'm here.
    [madeline left sad]
    What did you want me doing in a {!}highly dangerous abandoned spacecraft{/!} again?
    [madeline left upset]
    It's really hard to get the security clearance for this kind of stuff.
    [madeline left sad]
    I mean, did you see how many lasers they had in there?
    [madeline left upset]
    God forbid women do anything.
    [ex_phone right normal]
    Do you want to know your mission objective or not?
    [madeline left distracted]
    Sorry, go ahead.
    [ex_phone right normal]
    Right.
    According to our sources, the crew on this ship were tasked with investigating strange crystal formations found on planets in nearby systems.
    Six months after the craft set out, contact with the crew was abruptly interrrupted by what was believed to be a strong EMP of unknown origin.
    All communications systems were rendered useless, and all diagnostic data recieved from the vessel was either presumed garbage or unintelligible.
    Internal temperature over 150 degrees Celsius? Strong indication of organic life?
    A rescue mission was immediately launched, but by the time they arrived, the original crew had long been burned to ashes.
    The craft was promptly abandoned, being of no further use to the Federation.
    [madeline left normal]
    And this is where I come in?
    [ex_phone right normal]
    Yes.
    We have reason to believe that the pulse that killed the ship was not from an outside source, but from a specimen of the crystal they were researching.
    This could be of extreme importance to us, which is why we have sent one of our best agents on this mission.
    Your task is to find and collect this strange gemstone.
    We will send a team to collect you once the objective is accomplished.
    Good luck. You'll need it.
    [madeline left determined]
    Roger that.


VC2023_aonkeeper4_intro1_0=

    Neutral jumps give the most vertical height from a single walljump.
    Here, neutral off the block as it moves upwards to gain a boost, then wavedash off the block.

VC2023_aonkeeper4_intro1_1=
    [COMPUTER]
    When leaving a moving block, you can keep the block's speed for a short time (up to 9 frames). Dashing or jumping during this time will still provide you with an extra speed boost.
    Here, perform a wavedash while holding the side of the zip mover. This will give you more upwards speed than usual due to the block boost, allowing you to go over the spinners.
    The tutorial playback is slowed down to help you.

VC2023_aonkeeper4_r4_0=

    Another console, and still no {~}mysterious crystal{/~}.
    I'd better update them on the mission.

VC2023_aonkeeper4_r4_1=
    [madeline left sad]
    Still no signs of the crystal.
    [ex_phone right normal]
    As expected.
    [madeline left sad]
    What?
    [ex_phone right normal]
    Our radio telescopes have picked up a few... anomalies in the region surrounding the craft.
    We managed to triangulate the source of the pulses to a small research pod on the moon the ship orbits.
    [madeline left sad]
    So it wasn't on here at all?
    [madeline left upset]
    Now you tell me.
VC2023_aonkeeper4_intro1_1
    [ex_phone right normal]
    We needed to have you investigate to confirm the data.
    The resolution of our equipment isn't as precise as we thought at this distance, due to the large amounts of unexpected interference.
    Find the pod, and report to us with the gem.
    [madeline left upset]
    Roger.

    And I am the most well-trained operative for this kind of expedition.
    It's just...
    [madeline left sad]
    I mean, I didn't know I was essentially signing up to go trekking through space,
    navigating dangerous ruins,
    looking for a long-lost {~}mystical gem{/~} all Indiana Jones style.
    Then again, they never tell you half the stuff they want you to do anyway until you're already doing it, and you can't exactly back out.
    It's probably to be expected from an {*}intergalactic undercover super-agency{/*}.
    [madeline left distracted]

    Hi, it's me, aonkeeper4, the mapper.
    I'm really not sure why I'm making this room, as it's just another thing to deco at way past midnight, having mapped for objectively too long in a single sitting at this point.
    First off, I want to dedicate this map to the tens of unfinished projects in the background.
    As I am writing this, it is less than 5 hours until my map has to be submitted.
    There really is nothing like the stress of a deadline to get you to act unhealthily.
    Or to get you to even act at all.
    Secondly, I want to dedicate this to ABuffZucchini, who hosted this contest, and all of the judges for their hard work. <3
    Thanks for the extension, by the way.
    Thirdly, this is dedicated to Maddie's pinned message in \#modding-wip in Celestecord. Without that, I wouldn't have found out about this contest a week from the deadline and
    decided to make the most ill-informed decision of my entire summer.
    Fourthly (that doesn't sound right), this goes out to the schoolwork I really need to be doing right now. I am so fucked.
    Finally, I'd like to dedicate this map to... you! The player playing this map and reading this.
    Thank you so much for wanting to engage with something I've made. It means a lot to me.
    Honorable mentions for dedications include:
    The F5 key on my keyboard
    Celeste running really fucking slowly for some reason the past 2 days
    The fucking weather right now (i swear its like 30 degrees??? bitch its almost 1am what)
    The out-of-date dialog keys
    my cough
    \#nya in parrotcord
    SJ's English.txt
    Gamation's SJ GM showcase videos (shhhh dont let him find out)
    FMOD Studio (i hate it soso much)

Stupid phone, connect already-

{+MADELINE}! You're at that new {+TRAIL_CITREA}, right?
[MADELINE_PHONE left normal]
{+THEO}! I am. It's nice.
[WEBCAM_THEO right normal]
Good luck, it's a tough one. Make sure to keep track of those {+MARKERS_CITREA}, okay?
Some {~}strange things{/~} happen here, but the {# 7AF3D7}markers{#} can guide you. 
[MADELINE_PHONE left normal]
Don't worry, I did my research.
[MADELINE_PHONE left determined]
Call you at the top?
[WEBCAM_THEO right normal]
If you need anything, call sooner. I climbed this {+TRAIL_CITREA} a few months ago. I can give you some advice.
[MADELINE_PHONE left normal]
Thanks, {+THEO}. I'll be sure to.
[WEBCAM_THEO right nailedit]
Stay safe! I'll try not to worry.

VC2023_citrea_1= 
[MADELINE_PHONE left distracted]
Could I have a little help?
[WEBCAM_THEO right normal]
Anytime. Remember to activate the boosters as soon as possible. Go as fast as you can everywhere, really. 
See those two boosters on the right side? You're going to want to take them both rightward.
When you're bounced back into a dream block, you can jump out of it. That helps in this room.
Finally, on that wallbounce {~}way{/~} up there, make sure to not delay the jump.

VC2023_citrea_2= 
[WEBCAM_THEO right thinking]
Oh, this room.
[WEBCAM_THEO right normal]
I started by going through each of those three dream blocks, and did a dream hyper out of the top one.
If you go fast enough at first, you should dream hyper {~}a bit later{/~} than expected.
[WEBCAM_THEO right thinking]
Unlike the last room, you'll have to reuse one of the boosters here.
[WEBCAM_THEO right nailedit]
You can figure out the rest.

VC2023_citrea_3= 
[WEBCAM_THEO right normal]
Make sure to always fastbubble, even if it would slow you down overall. 
And just... do a lot of ultras. I think there are three total in this room.
[WEBCAM_THEO right excited]
You're getting close to the top! You got this.

Madeline! You're ok!

[MADELINE right distracted]

Yeah... I'm a little dazed, but there was a pond at the bottom that broke my fall.

[THEO left thinking]

That's a relief... That looked like a pretty long drop.

Ah.

[MADELINE right distracted]

Actually... Would you mind if I went back?

[THEO left wtf]

You want to go back down there?

[MADELINE right normal]

Yeah. There was a trail leading away that looked like it could lead to some pretty cool stuff.

[MADELINE right sad]

Sorry... I'd carry you with me, but there doesn't seem to be much of a floor that way, so we'd probably both get killed.

[THEO left thinking]

That's fine.

This is actually a pretty cosy spot. I could chill here for a couple hours.

[MADELINE right upset]

You're underwater.

[THEO left normal]

It's really serene. You should try it.

Anyway, have fun on the way back down.

And try not to get killed yourself.

I'll do my best.

VC2023_CoolBread_Superboosttutorial=

[]

These inscriptions tell of an ancient civilisation that once used something called a 'Super Boost' as a means of public transport.

Apparently these 'Super Boosts' survive into the present day, but their only use is in extremely niche platforming gauntlets.

To access this forgotten power, all you need to do is get hit by a bumper while holding the direction in which you will get bumped.

(For example, dashing into the right side of a bumper and holding right at the moment you make contact.)

This will send you flying with a far higher velocity than you would have had otherwise.

The document also specifies that this technique only works when launched horizontally, not vertically.

# --tutorials and info--

VC2023_EK948_Info=This map was created to be a speedrun similar to Pollen, however I gave myself the restriction to use only 1 entity for gameplay, which were clouds (there are exceptions to this)
I epically failed to do it fast clocking in at a whopping {~}31:40:55.35{/~}, but I managed to create something good so I don't really care
VC2023_EK948_Superwave=This map requires the use of superwaves, you can perform this by supering on the clouds and then performing a reverse wavedash on it.
Doing it too fast makes way tighter than it needs to be and doing it too slow causes you to hit the spinners, gl.
VC2023_EK948_Superwave2=10000 Superwaves: come outside
VC2023_EK948_Room2=When standing on a cloud, it will go down and then up, demoing at the bottom of the clouds trajectory will allow you to pass through the spinners with ease.
For the other tech, you need to jump on the cloud and then jump on it again to get the liftboost from the cloud.
VC2023_EK948_Buffer=If you buffer a jump on the cloud, your jump velocity will be unaffected by the cloud. To perform this just hit jump slightly earlier than normal.
VC2023_EK948_Turnaround=This one is hard, stand on the blue cloud and then immediately go off, as soon as you're in the air perform a wavedash on the pink cloud.
Make sure you buffer the jump for the wavedash to make it consistent.
VC2023_EK948_Fail=For this tech you need to wavedash on the cloud, but only jump when you're off the cloud to avoid liftboost or the wavedash triggering.
If this is done correctly you will perform a completely normal jump.
VC2023_EK948_Heart=For this tech you need to do a superwave, except you must collect the heart and then perform the reverse wavedash so you collect the berry.
This move is really hard requiring at least one frame perfect input followed by a really tight jump to do correctly.

		The first thing is that the guards all seem to be clones of one another.
		Secondly it seems the prison is starting to wear down, the walls are flaky and crumbling even though this place should be kept well.

Long ago, a fissure formed upon Celeste Mountain, after a strong earthquake in the area. 
This place would come to be known as Nobody's Fault.
Few have ever ventured into the chasm due to the long fall down. 
But those who have have reported an eerily foggy cavern inside, devoid of life except for the roots from trees above.
Shortly after its formation, a bridge was built over the fault, and it was forgotten.
But words of the strange chasm still float around, and many seek the challenge in getting in and out.
But not Madeline. She just tripped. Oops!

Alchemist Work Log - Day 2118
A breakthrough has been made after so long. We've found our modern philosopher's stone. 
With the use of the machinery that adorns this site, we have been able to create and transport the pure Essence of cold throughout our domain.
We have been able to transmute ordinary matter into snow and ice using this newly synthesized Essence. 
we can shape the cold into forms more pure, more perfect, than anything we've ever dreamed of.
The silver light of the Goddess shall embrace us. The Pure Frost shall be achieved. 
No matter the cost, the cold shall bring us closer to Her, and we shall ascend ever higher.
Beyond time.
Beyond space.
Her frigid warmth is all we need, and all we desire.

vc23_hivemindsrule_lore_B=
[balls or whatever]
Alchemist Work Log - Day 2132
Three more have fallen today. Their weakness is testament to their lack of devotion to Her.
I must say, cold is not... A pretty death. Your body slowly freezes, starting at your fingertips and toes, then it slowly creeps along, consuming the rest of you.
It consumes your will to survive. It forces you to submit. To choose how they find your frozen body lying when the end comes.
There is no fighting. There is no resistance. Your body becomes one with ice, then snow, then nothingness.
Today's tragic sacrifices serve as a grim warning to those of us who dare mistreat the Essence.
Despite this, we shall carry on. 
The Pure Frost shall be achieved.

vc23_hivemindsrule_lore_C=
[balls or whatever]
Alchemist Work Log - Day 2146
There was a momentary, but glorious success today.
Even if for just a moment, we were able to create a Pure Frost.
By focusing the light of the full moon through a Crystal Heart, the Essence was awakened in just the right way to achieve the purity we've desired for so long.
Two poor souls at the site of the creation were engulfed by the beauty and majesty of it and were sadly lost when the Pure Frost decayed.
Will we ever find a stable form?
Or will we give up, never to feel the Goddess' love in its full glory?
My colleagues and I shall continue trying.
The Pure Frost shall be achieved.

vc23_hivemindsrule_lore_D=
[balls or whatever]
Alchemist Work Log - Day 2150
It is done.
The Pure frost has been achieved, in a stable form.
The others have already become one with Her. I merely stayed behind to offer my final words.
To those who have found these logs, I ascend to meet my Goddess with deep sadness and regret in my heart.
Our life's work has been achieved. The modern philosopher's stone has allowed us to reach a higher plane of existence, within the frigid warmth of the Goddess' embrace.
...
Was it really worth throwing everything away?
The bodies... I remember their eyes, some frozen open, staring away into nothingness... I see them when I close my eyes.
It matters not whether their sacrifice was in vain now.
I can hear her... Calling to me.
O Goddess of Winter, Goddess of Moon, Goddess of Light...
My time has come to join you.
Purity... Everlasting... Cold... Clarity...
{#666666}I can feel it now... The Pure Frost...
...There is beauty in stillness after all...

It reads:

"Journal entry #1

I've decided to investigate this abandoned mine which used to be a somewhat popular tourist attraction back in 2016.

It began losing customers in early 2018 and eventually closed down in 2019.

I did a lot of research before coming here, and every single source I found claimed the mine shut down due to the lack of customers.

This led to insufficient profits to run the place."

It doesn't matter how I look at this story, something is very clearly fishy about it.

It could be a conspiracy, a cult, maybe even a government coverup!

I HAVE to look into this, there's obviously something the public doesn't know about.

Throughout my years of journalism, this gut feeling kept getting more and more accurate.

I cannot ignore it, this is a scoop I cannot let go to waste!"

I KNEW IT!!!

The mine did not shut down from insufficient funds,

It shut down due to mysterious disappearances!

I went to a local police station and found a whole mountain of missing person reports dating back to 2018-2019.

Each one was last seen in this very mine during a tour.

Luckily, I haven't been caught rummaging through police documents.

Even though i found out the true "How", there's still the "Why" to figure out.

I need to do more digging."

This is not something i would ever expect.

This whole place houses a giant, white and faintly transparent crystal formation.

This mineral is called "Choirite" and It's the only one in the world.

Its origins are completely unknown, but it likely came from space.

Now, it's called "Choirite" because it emits a very quiet and subtle sound of a choir.

You can hear it if you listen closely.

I cannot believe this, the vanishing must be linked to this crystal.

You notice a dusty piece of paper sticking out of the rubble.

It reads:

"Journal entry #5

This is it, the final piece of the puzzle.

The Choirite's sound has a hypnotizing effect, luring unsuspecting visitors into their death.

It can even affect your subconscious, making you temporarily forget about the victim's existence.

I don't know what happens to the victims and I don't think I wanna find out.

I need to get out of here and publish this article.

Because I'm trespassing, I need to do it anonymously.

However, I can feel my sanity slip away as of writing this.

It's too late for me anyway, I dug too deep and it's time to pay the price.

I just hope someone can find all 5 of my notes and leak them for the whole world to see.

Goodbye, spread awareness."

    This map is not a conventional Celeste map, rather it is a showcase of techniques developed to perform arbitrary computation using only vanilla entities.
    By the end, it will be proved that it is possible to simulate functions of any computer using only vanilla entities.
    Unfortunately because of the entities used (springs, jellies, and move blocks), some loud sounds are produced.
    You may want to turn down your gameplay volume or use the EarAid mod.
    There is a lot of dialog in this map — it is also available on the companion website, which contains the exact same dialog.

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_activate=ACTIVATE

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_part1=
    PART 1
    Foundations

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_1a_title=
    Figure 1a.
    Communication
VanillaContest2023_microlith57_1a=
    {anchor bottom}
    Here, you can see that the input block (marked {~}{#00fff0}cyan{#}{/~}) has a spring attached to it.
    When it moves into the jelly, it bounces it upwards into the output move block's spring, activating the block.
    The output block then moves into the {~}{#ffbf00}yellow{#}{/~} space, meaning a signal has been sent.
    With this method, pulse signals (ones that last a short time) can be communicated across distances.
    With small modifications, this method also allows signals to be turned, split, and combined like an or-gate.

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_1b_title=
    Figure 1b.
    Crossing Signals
VanillaContest2023_microlith57_1b=
    {anchor bottom}
    In general, it's risky to have two move blocks cross paths, because they can hit each other and break.
    By using jellies instead, which never hit each other, this problem can be avoided.
    In this setup, the {#8d34ff}horizontal path{#} doesn't interact with the {#ff008a}vertical one{#}.
    Bouncing jellies horizontally is more complex than bouncing them vertically — they are not self-returning, so precise spring placement is needed.
    This setup is reliable because the horizontal jelly ends up back where it started each time.

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_1c_title=
    Figure 1c.
    State
VanillaContest2023_microlith57_1c=
    {anchor bottom}
    Of course, computers aren't just made of wires — you also need to have some way to store state information.
    This is possible because of a nice property of move blocks: they cannot reform if there's anything in the way.
    Here, I've placed two move blocks intersecting one another, forming a {~}memory cell{/~}.
    Notice that the right block has a spring with a jelly that immediately triggers it, then gets fizzled — this is to ensure only one move block is solid at a time.
    By convention, when the left move block is present, the cell is {~}unset{/~}, and when the right one is, it is {~}set{/~}.

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_1d_title=
    Figure 1d.
    And Gate
VanillaContest2023_microlith57_1d=
    {anchor bottom}
    This is a practical use of the memory cell — a {~}logic gate{/~} that lets {#8d34ff}the upper input{#} pass through only if the gate's memory is set.
    The {#ff008a}lower input{#} toggles the state of the memory.

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_1e_title=
    Figure 1e.
    3-Bit And Gate
VanillaContest2023_microlith57_1e=
    {anchor bottom}
    This is effectively three and gates next to each other.
    Note that {#8d34ff}the upper input{#} can only pass through if all three memory cells are set.
    This construction in particular will be important for later.

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_part2=
    PART 2
    The 110 Automaton

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_2ai_title=
    Figure 2a(i).
    110 Logic Table
VanillaContest2023_microlith57_2ai=
    A Turing machine is a type of program used as a yardstick to measure computation.
    In particular, if something can in theory perfectly simulate a Turing machine, then it is called Turing complete.
    This is useful, because (as far as we know) a Turing machine can simulate anything.
    A 1-dimensional cellular automaton is effectively the simplest thing capable of simulating a Turing machine.
    Such an automaton is made of a strip of cells, each of which is either on or off.
    At each unit of time, all the cells simultaneously decide on a new state, based on their current state and those of their neighbours.
    This means there are eight rules necessary to cover all the possible cases.
    {anchor bottom}
    The 110 automaton is a specific form of a 1D cellular automaton, and its rules are depicted above.
    The top row of each rule has three lights, representing the left neighbour, the cell itself, and the right neighbour.
    The bottom row of each rule depicts the new state for the cell.
    {anchor top}
    The 110 automaton is special in that a mechanism has been described by which it can simulate a Turing machine.

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_2aii_title=
    Figure 2a(ii).
    110 Toggle Conditions
VanillaContest2023_microlith57_2aii=
    {anchor bottom}
    Of interest is that these eight rules can be combined into two simple conditions.
    A cell toggles its state if {#8d34ff}it is off, and its right-hand neighbour is on{#}, or {#ff008a}it is on and so are both of its neighbours{#}.

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_2b_title=
    Figure 2b.
    110 Gate
VanillaContest2023_microlith57_2b=
    {anchor bottom}
    This is the central part of a 110 automaton — the {~}110 gate{/~}.
    The two conditions are represented by the {#8d34ff}upper{#} and {#ff008a}lower{#} move blocks respectively; if either reaches the right-hand side, an output is triggered.
    Both of these blocks are activated by the input marked {#9f528e}1{#}.
    The memory cells controlled by inputs {#9f528e}2{#}, {#9f528e}3{#}, and {#9f528e}4{#} represent the left neighbour, the current cell, and the right neighbour respectively.

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_2c_title=
    Figure 2c.
    110 Cell
VanillaContest2023_microlith57_2c=
    {anchor bottom}
    This is a {~}110 cell{/~} (a single part of the full automaton), which is just a 110 gate with extra signalling added.
    There is {#8d34ff}a signal from the output{#} of the 110 gate that leads to {#ffbf00}outputs{#} {#9f528e}2{#} and {#9f528e}4{#}, so that the neighbour cells are kept up to date on this cell's state.
    {#8d34ff}This signal{#} also toggles the memory corresponding to this cell.
    Also, the left and right neighbours {#ff008a}send signals{#} using {#00fff0}inputs{#} {#9f528e}2{#} and {#9f528e}4{#} of this cell, which toggle this cell's memory of their states.
    Note that {#00fff0}inputs{#} {#9f528e}2{#} and {#9f528e}4{#} are at the same elevation as the respective {#ffbf00}outputs{#} — this is because they would be direct connections to the identical neighbour cells.
    See below in the appendix for an unannotated version of this figure.

VanillaContest2023_microlith57_2d_title=
    Figure 2d.
    110 Automaton
VanillaContest2023_microlith57_2d=
    {anchor bottom}
    Here, three 110 cells have been joined together in a strip.
    A full 110 automaton would consist of a very long strip of these, with the cells set to initial states according to some pattern.
    With enough of these, it is possible to simulate the functions of any computer.

A baby goat, a sink, and a 6'5 man.
Now, this baby goat. It's far to small to bathe in a regular bathtub.
It may drown or get lost in all that water.
Therefore, the only ethical way to bathe the baby goat, is in the sink.
Now, you can't just pick up the goat willy nilly, or it will get scared.
Imagine the 6'5 man grabbing the baby goat by the legs and hoisting it over his neck, almost like a scarf that just covers the back of his neck.
Have I made myself clear?
[Madeline left distracted]

...
No?

{#cf022b}
Ok forget it. Blah blah nano is small bathes in the sink so the apartment is small.

A grassy grass landscape...

This was just another farewell map.

Hey! People like that map :3
Also, how is it not a grassland? You're standing on grass right now.
I know there's no cloudscape to make it obvious, but like.
Vanilla contest. You know how it is :/
[Madeline left sad]

Like you actually have to be fucking with me now.
This room was just the same move 3 times and it was like
it was in the other rooms dude.
I'm not even mad I'm just like 
I'm disapointed. We talked about this. About content.
[]
{#cf022b}
Was that not content? You're kinda bumming me out rn.
[Madeline left sad]

No, I mean, it, it WAS content.
The content just wasn't that good and didn't do what you set out to do.

Madeline I spent a lot of time on the first two rooms.
Y'know what I noticed about you? You soak in all the bad things and ignore the good ones.

Erm... this is awkward.
I hope you don't mind us staying in for a while.

[MADELINE left angry]
Alright, who are you and what have you done to the house?

[XYAPH]
We just did some redecorating. No one has stayed here for months, so we decided to use this house temporarily.

[MADELINE left angry]
WHO{1} ARE{1} YOU?

[XYAPH]
I am {+XYAPH}. Leader of the powerful, {0.1}great, {0.1}and successful {+STRINGSOCIETY}.

[MADELINE left upset]
Alright. That's enough. {0.2}Get out.

[XYAPH]
You know, we really need your help.

[MADELINE left upset]
Get out.

[XYAPH]
The {*}Stellar Legion{/*}. Saviors of the worthy.
They will come here in an unspecified amount of time.

[MADELINE left upset]
I'm not in the mood to roleplay right now.
I{0.3} don't care about whatever lore you drop on me.

[XYAPH]
Listen, I'm your ally here! This world is screwed. Done for. A goner, even.
They will come here and blow this planet up. The Legion has decided that the world is unworthy.
Are you not worried in the slightest? Because I am. I don't want to be blown up!

[MADELINE left angry]
No. YOU{0.3} listen to me.
Are you hearing yourself? Do you ever think{n}{0.4}"This is such a dumb thing to say"{0.4}{n}when you speak?
This Mountain may have strange magic...
But I don't think whatever you're talking about is real.

[XYAPH]
Fine.
But when the {*}Stellar Legion{/*} comes for the final judgements...
Don't come crying to me.
{*}Waaaah! Waaaaah! Help me, {+XYAPH}! They're tearing my limbs! Waaaahh!!!{/*}

[MADELINE left normal]
You're weird.

You don't need to die by the hands of the {*}Legion{/*}.

[MADELINE left angry]
What do you even want to do?
You never even told me how you'll fight back against this "Legion".

[XYAPH]
Oh, you'd be very mistaken.
We're not here to fight the Legion.
We're here to help them. Help them destroy this world.
I've told you already, we need to help them cleanse the universe of unworthy things.

[MADELINE left sad]
I'm even more confused.

[XYAPH]
If we help them destroy the world, they'll see us as worthy!
They'll spare us and let us join the Stellar Legion!
It's the only chance that the String Society and I survive the cleansing.
And you, your family and your friends can join me too!

[MADELINE left angry]
Not interested!

[XYAPH]
Why do you sound so pissed?

[MADELINE left angry]
Do YOU realize how HARD it is to FLY in AIRPLANES?
And all that just to see some RANDOM person ruin this house?

[MADELINE left upset]
Alright, if this Stellar Legion really is coming, then when?
Specify a date and time for me.
[XYAPH]
Well, you'll have to stay tuned for the next Celeste Community Direct!


VC2023_PURPPELLE_HOLOGRAM=

A face made of strings looms over you. Allegedly a big picture of {+XYAPH}.
Now all those sighs of dismay make sense. Imagine having to carefully pack a bunch of floating strings, and rebuilding it all again.
As you sew it wave through the air, you can't help but think:
[MADELINE left normal]
There's so much string here. Did they really needle of this?

"To whomever it is that has come here during this time and found this note, I applaud your bravery. 
Please, we need your help. Celeste Mountain is in crisis. 
The mountain's core has become unstable, and we don't know how long it'll be before the effects become truly catastrophic. 
My exploration team was unsuccesful in fixing the problem and had to retreat.
We implore you, journey to the core of the mountain and save the mountain."

I just wish it wasn't so far away. If only..."

quinn_vc_cyber1= There's a note on the ground:
"There's something seriously wrong with the city here.
Celeste City used to be a bustling metropolis a few decades ago.
Unforunately, a series of avalanches drove everyone out, and it was left abandoned.
Yet, the city feels...alive again. 
I've looked everywhere and I can't find a shred of life, aside from our team.
It's incredibly unnerving."

quinn_vc_cyber2= There's a note on the ground:

We were getting out of the city, and decided to rest in these abandoned ruins.
Then out of nowhere, it was pouring rain!
Noel went back to the ridge to fetch a tool he dropped and he told me the sky was completely clear.
It seems that the core's instability has greatly affected the weather on this part of the mountain, resulting in a neverending rainstorm."

quinn_vc_hyetal2= There's a note on the table:
"We found this little room here in the ruins.
It's not much, but it got me thinking about who used to live here.
Numerous civilizations have settled on Celeste Mountain across history, but little is known about the one that made these ruins.
I suspect that they lived a few decades after the decline of the Mirrites."

I just pray that nothing awful happened to him..."

"I made my way down into the resort's basement to the furances and boilers. 
I thought I'd just poke around for a bit, but then giant balls of fire began emerging from the machines!
Either this is the result of the core's instability, or the place is just haunted."

I've always found this place to be the most fascinating location on Celeste Mountain.
Its history is so deep and rich, and yet there are still boundless mysteries to how the Mirrite people achieved what they did.
The ability to harness the power of reflections...
Some say it's a power inherent to the mountain, while others claim it to be a result of the Mirrite's creations.
Whichever it is, that power is clearly strongest here, and it seems that the core's instability has caused the mirror world and the real world to blend." 

quinn_vc_theo= 
[MADELINE left deadpan]
Theo, wtf are you doing here?

quinn_vc_twilight1= There's a note on the ground:
"I'm now in the crystal chasm that lies at the base of the mountain.
I explored here before, but it didn't look like this. 
The once gorgeous blues that used to adorn the walls and floors of this place have turned a sort of purple color.
Not only that, but in addition to the block-shaped species known as "Kevins", there now seem to be a number of overgrown pufferfish.
I don't know where they came from, but they have the power to float midair, defying every known law of physics."

quinn_vc_twilight2= There's a note on the ground:
"I made it out of the temple and decided to rest on this plateau above the crystal chasm.
I plan to climb to the summit soon.
If anyone comes across this note, please be wary. The ground here can be very unstable."

quinn_vc_twilight3= There's a note on the ground:
"I met an odd crew of characters during my time in the chasm. 
They were good company for a time, but I felt a bit out of place after a while and decided to leave them be."

quinn_vc_misty1= There's a note on the ground:
"I made it to the summit.
There's an entrance to the core to the east of here.
I dug into the rock for a bit but to little success.
It's so misty up here, and I can feel myself getting light-headed.
I don't think I'm equipped to take on the core of the mountain.
If anyone else makes it up here; please, do what you can.
However, be aware that if you do choose to descend into the core, I can't guarantee you a way out."

quinn_vc_finalcore=
[MADELINE left determined]
This is it, the final stretch. I can sense the instability growing closer.

quinn_vc_coreend=
[MADELINE left normal]
I made it...
[MADELINE left determined]
Now let's finish this.

quinn_vc_noxious1=
[MADELINE left panic]
What is this horrible vapor?
I can't stand breathing it in...
But I have to keep going.
I have to make it to The Origin.

quinn_vc_noxious2=
[MADELINE left distracted]
This is just like the material the core is made out of.
It must be another meteor from the origin, and likely whatever is making this awful gas too.
If I break its center, I should be able to finally get rid of it and move forward.

quinn_vc_origin=
[MADELINE left determined]
Finally, The Origin.
It's time to save Celeste Mountain once and for all.

quinn_vc_waste1= There's a note on the ground:
"I pray that if someone has found my other notes that they make it out to this desolate land.
DO NOT GO TO THE CORE.
Any solution brought about by going there will only be temporary.
I've found a number of journals at this meteor crash site that have illuminated me to the truth."

quinn_vc_waste2= There's a note on the ground:
"This meteor here is made of a mineral known as 'Effusite.'
Effusite posseses the ability of absorption. 
That is why the land here is so dead and empty. The meteor's power drained all life out of the ground where it crashed.
However, this meteor was one of a pair.
A second meteor landed in the area. One made of a mineral called 'Cogitatium.'
This mineral posseses the opposite power of reflection.
That second meteor landed directly into the side of Celeste Mountain thousands of years ago, forming the core of the mountain we know today.
That is what gave Celeste Mountain its magical powers, and was the foundation of the Mirrite's civilization."

quinn_vc_waste3= There's a note on the ground:
"These two meteors came from a location far above us known as 'The Origin."
The instability in Celeste Mountain's core is a direct result of instability in The Origin.
Even if one were to fix the instability down here, the instability up there would just keep bringing it back.
If you are truly commited to fixing the crisis on Celeste Mountain, then you must venture to the stars and find the origin."

quinn_vc_thanks= There's a note on the ground:
"Thank you to Nyan, Rocketguy2, Tobyaaa, and Donker19 for their help with playtesting!
Additional thanks to Jun Ishikawa, Hirokazu Ando, and Yuki Shimooka for their work on the Kirby and the Forgotten Land soundtrack.
Finally, thank you to ABuffZucchini for hosting this contest that allowed me to make a map of this magnitude."

[MADELINE left distracted]
It looks like I made it in time.
[THEO right excited]
Madeline! 
[THEO right normal]
What is this place?
[MADELINE left normal]
It’s some kind of temple. 
[THEO right thinking]
This is another temple...? It has a different atmosphere though. 
Not the same as the one we went through on the mountain.
[MADELINE left distracted]
It’s a temple as far as I could recognize it, at least.
[THEO right normal]
Alright. You’re probably more familiar with them than I am. You’re heading in to investigate?
[MADELINE left determined]
Yeah. I can’t ignore this place.
[THEO right normal]
Got it. Let’s go then. I’ll be right behind you.
[MADELINE left normal]
Let’s go.

VC2023_Resverie_startsecret=
[MADELINE left sad]
I don’t want to leave a single stone unturned but... I’m taking on too much, aren’t I?

VC2023_Resverie_a00=
[MADELINE left surprised]
Theo...? We were just together. What happened to him?
[MADELINE left determined]
...Wait, I already know what comes next. See you soon.

VC2023_Resverie_a01enter=
[MADELINE left panic]
Wah- THEO! 

VC2023_Resverie_a01theopoint=
[MADELINE left together]
I’ll save you Theo, you hear me?
[THEO right nailedit]
Yeah, I hear you Madeline.
[MADELINE left normal]
So I can still talk to you with this? How does that even work?
[THEO right excited]
I’m just offscreen. 
[MADELINE left normal]
Oh, that’s right. I’m not dead yet, so I should have known.
[THEO right thinking]
Since we can still talk like this, I’ll give you some advice. 
You’ll have to know some expert tech like hyper bunnyhops and Theo tech to get through this. 
That ice wall on the L shaped block indicates a reverse hyper into downdiagonal dash.
You can come talk to me as many times as you need to, and I’ll be happy to help. 
This goes for the next rooms as well. Are you alright with that?
[MADELINE left distracted]
...I guess I can live with it. 

VC2023_Resverie_a01peeking=
[MADELINE left surprised]
Oh, you’re really just right there!
[THEO right normal]
Yeah. I told you that before, didn’t I?
[MADELINE left normal]
Oh did you?
[THEO right serious]
...
[MADELINE left sad]
Sorry. 
[THEO right normal]
Hey, I’m used to it by now. It’s alright.

VC2023_Resverie_a01theo=
[THEO right serious]
It’s okay Madeline, I really don’t take fall damage. 

VC2023_Resverie_a02theopoint=
[THEO right wtf]
Ugh, it’s those things.
[MADELINE left upset]
...Yeah, they’re a real pain. They’re going to be everywhere from now on.
[THEO right worried]
You got any ideas on how to handle them?
[MADELINE left normal] 
They’re all locked up right now, so they can’t bother anyone.
[MADELINE left peaceful]
But if you’re really insistent, let’s just get rid of them now, while we have the chance.
[THEO right worried]
Get rid of them? I wasn’t thinking that at all. 
[THEO right thinking]
I don’t know how that’d be possible in the first place... 
But it looks like you’ll have to use them to get across. 

VC2023_Resverie_a02secret=
[MADELINE left sadder]
This has all been such a mess... 

VC2023_Resverie_a03theopoint=
[THEO right nailedit]
I didn’t know they could die like that.
[MADELINE left distracted]
No, it’s not truly death... 
[MADELINE left normal]
Though shoving them into a wall makes them disappear for a bit. 
Good as dead to me.
[THEO right normal]
Out of sight, out of mind, huh?
[MADELINE left sad]
Hopefully when that happens we won’t need the seekers anymore.
[THEO right thinking]
That reminds me, watch out for that swap block. Be careful of when you dash to use it.

VC2023_Resverie_a03theobasket=
[MADELINE left normal]
It’s pretty comfortable here, don’t you think?
[THEO right thinking]
Is that why you keep throwing me here? 

VC2023_Resverie_a04theopoint=
[MADELINE left normal]
Looks like you’re the key to getting through, Theo.
[THEO right normal]
Hmm? You throw me through the top, but what else am I doing?
[MADELINE left distracted]
Key, like you’re unlocking...
[MADELINE left upset]
Nevermind. I’ll catch you, so there’s no need to worry.
[THEO right normal]
Not worried at all, Madeline. 
[MADELINE left normal]
Anyways, we’ve just got to use the seekers to get the touch switches, right?
[THEO right thinking]
Yeah. Remember to bunnyhop off the first seeker. 
Also, the dirt blocks are dash blocks and the tower blocks are falling blocks. 
The zip mover beneath them is lined up to catch the falling tower block, even if you make the block fall first.
Got it?

VC2023_Resverie_a04catching=
[THEO right nailedit]
Whew. Nice save.
Unless you just came down here because you were curious.
[MADELINE left distracted]
...I guess it’s not out of the question.
[THEO right serious]
Either way, thanks for always having my back. 

VC2023_Resverie_a05theopoint=
[MADELINE left surprised]
Wait, I’ve lost my dash!
[THEO right worried]
Uh oh. Are you going to be okay?
[MADELINE left sad]
Probably. I’m sure I’ll get it back eventually. 
Looks like I’ll have to use the seekers to make it through, though.
[THEO right normal]
Good thing they’re so locked up to you can work together, huh?
[MADELINE left distracted]
They’re still fairly uncooperative. Unpredictable. 
And they won’t work with anything unless they’re pressed against a wall. 
[MADELINE left sadder]
It’s such an obnoxious trait.
[THEO right worried]
You sound familiar with it.
[MADELINE left upset]
Well you are too, aren’t you? Everyone’s aware of how finicky the seekers are.
[THEO right wtf]
...If you say so. 
[THEO right thinking]
Anyways, time for more Theo Tips™. 
When it comes to the key section, use the walls for a setup crouch jump.
And once you get your dash back, don’t dash until I’m in your hands, okay?

VC2023_Resverie_a05removed=
[THEO right wtf]
So what’s with this anyways? 
[MADELINE left distracted]
It feels like a forgotten space. Or maybe just an abandoned one. 
Like someone once had use for it, but then erased any trace of what had been there before when it was no longer needed.
It’s cruel for it to vanish completely, isn’t it?
[THEO right worried]
Be careful not to stay on the mountain for too long, Madeline. 

VC2023_Resverie_a05berry=
[THEO right worried]
Madeline...
[MADELINE left sad]
...I was just testing whether my dash had really returned or not. 
[THEO right thinking]
At least there was a strawberry there.

VC2023_Resverie_a06theopoint=
[MADELINE left distracted]
Oh... We’re back to having loud rooms again.
[THEO right wtf]
Are you talking about all the spinners?
[MADELINE left distracted]
Kind of. It’s just... Bright, isn’t it? There’s a lot of energy here.
[THEO right thinking]
I’m not sure what you’re getting at.
[MADELINE left upset]
Forget it. 
[MADELINE left sad]
I’m probably just tired because I can’t stand the sight of the seekers. 
Looking at them makes my stomach churn. 
Facing them any longer than I have to is...
[THEO right thinking]
If it makes it go faster, here’s some more advice. 
When the swap blocks are moving the seekers, you can’t dash or you’ll die. Probably. 
So watch out for that. 
You should also stall before grabbing the move block for a bit, but you shouldn’t be grabbing onto it for long.

VC2023_Resverie_a06eye=
[THEO right wtf]
I’ve been meaning to ask about these...
[MADELINE left distracted]
I can’t tell you what they’re doing here, but they’re eyes. 
[THEO right thinking]
Back in the Mirror Temple, these eyes kept manifesting because I felt trapped by others’ gazes. 
Same thing with my crystallization, actually. 
But that’s not the case right now. So why is it happening?
[MADELINE left distracted]
Who knows? 
[THEO right thinking]
I just found it strange to be watching the observer instead of-
[MADELINE left surprised]
...!
[THEO right serious]
-I’ll leave it at that then.

VC2023_Resverie_a07theopoint=
[MADELINE left angry]
There’s a whole trench of them now. 
[THEO right worried]
At least they’re restrained. You don’t have to worry about them jumping out at you.
[MADELINE left angry]
They’d definitely try, though. It’s just how they are. 
Screaming balls of desire that pounce towards their target. 
Whenever they have free room to do so, they take over any space they’re in.
[THEO right serious]
They’re not uncontrollable, though. You know how to manipulate them, don’t you?
[MADELINE left distracted]
I know, but...
[MADELINE left sad]
I just don’t want to fall into those depths.
[MADELINE left normal]
Hey, how about that advice?
[THEO right worried]
If you insist. 
[THEO right thinking]
Make sure you have a crouch dash bind. Unless you want to do them manually.
Delay the demodash for the midair hypers as late as you can. 
For the first zip mover, hyper bunnyhop when it’s moving up, but for the second, do an extended hyper when it hits the floor. 
Ready?
[MADELINE left determined]
There’s only one way I can find out.

VC2023_Resverie_a07statue=
[THEO right wtf]
...I sure wasn’t expecting this. 
[MADELINE left distracted]
It’s like a guardian watching over its kin. Or a flag for a serpent’s den.
[THEO right worried]
Don’t lose yourself to the snake pit, okay?
[MADELINE left normal]
If they can’t see me, then they can’t bite.

VC2023_Resverie_a07eye=
[MADELINE left distracted]
Hey, Theo...
[THEO right serious]
Yeah, what is it? 
[MADELINE left sad]
It does seem like it’s following you.
[THEO right thinking]
It’s more certain than “seems”. But why? 
[MADELINE left distracted]
...You can’t ever see your own eyes in the flesh, right? Not if they’re of any use. 
[THEO right thinking]
Even mirrors and photographs can’t ever fully line up with your sight. 
And the same goes for everyone else. 
[THEO right serious]
Is that what you’re getting at?
[MADELINE left sad]
Something like that. You can't see yourself the same way others see you.
But if you want to know how others see you...
[THEO right serious]
I think I get it.

VC2023_Resverie_a07seeker=
[MADELINE left sadder]
...Ugly...
[THEO right worried]
Madeline?
[MADELINE left surprised]
Huh?
[MADELINE left sad]
Uh... Nothing. 
…
[MADELINE left normal]
I mean, they are ugly, aren’t they?
[THEO right serious]
Maybe they’re not the prettiest. Is that really what you were-
[MADELINE left upset]
Of course. Let’s get to the next room already.

VC2023_Resverie_a08theopoint=
[THEO right worried]
Um, Madeline?
[MADELINE left normal]
  

VC2023_Resverie_a08pacifist=
[THEO right normal]
It’s better this way, isn’t it?
[MADELINE left distracted]
...Maybe.

VC2023_Resverie_a08seeker1=
[MADELINE left normal]
*whistling noises*~
[THEO right worried]
Hey, are you sure about this?

VC2023_Resverie_a08genocide=
[MADELINE left normal]
All gone. They can’t bother me again now.
[THEO right worried]
...

VC2023_Resverie_afinal=
[THEO right worried]
You know... Maybe we should get out of this temple.
[MADELINE left sad]
Maybe?
[THEO right serious]
Not maybe. We should. Only problem is, I’m not sure where we could go.
[MADELINE left distracted]
It looks like the architecture is dissolving again, so we’re probably close to the exit.
[THEO right normal]
That’s good. Let’s keep going then.
[MADELINE left upset]
That was the plan, you know...?

VC2023_Resverie_b00=
[MADELINE left normal]
You were right, it’s much better out here.
[THEO right excited]
That’s for sure. 
[THEO right normal]
Isn’t it kind of empty, though?
[MADELINE left sad]
Is that a bad thing?
[THEO right thinking]
I figured that you liked moving around a lot more than this.
[MADELINE left upset]
This kind of thing isn’t bad, you know. 

VC2023_Resverie_b01=
[MADELINE left normal]
Because we can see things like this! Isn’t it nice?
[THEO right excited]
It is pretty neat. 
[THEO right serious]
...
So you are the one that’s changing the layout?
[MADELINE left distracted]
...
I just have some control. 
[MADELINE left sad]
What about it?
[THEO right normal]
It’s fine. Now that I know that fact I’m pretty satisfied.
[MADELINE left distracted]
...
[MADELINE left sad]
Are you? Isn’t there more you want to see?
[THEO right serious]
Hmm? 
[THEO right normal]
I mean, I’m not opposed to it. But I can’t exactly move how I am now.
[MADELINE left normal]
Then I’ll carry you. Just like before. 
[THEO right excited]
Let’s see it, then.

VC2023_Resverie_b02=
[MADELINE left angry]
...
[THEO right wtf]
...
[MADELINE left normal]
Hey look, it’s another summit!
[THEO right worried]
Uh... What?
[MADELINE left normal]
We can go scale this one too. Except we can do it together this time. What do you say?
[THEO right normal]
Well... I guess.
[THEO right serious]
(So Madeline doesn’t want to mention it.)

VC2023_Resverie_b04=
[MADELINE left distracted]
Torches...
[THEO right thinking]
What does that mean?
[MADELINE left distracted]
(This is still part of the temple, then...)

VC2023_Resverie_b05=
[THEO right wtf]
Madeline, it’s spreading.
[MADELINE left distracted]
The spinners?
[THEO right thinking]
No, the seeker... Energy? Thing? 
[MADELINE left normal]
They can’t move inside of it anyways, so there’s nothing to worry about.
[THEO right worried]
Madeline?
[MADELINE left determined]
I’ve got it under control. Promise.

VC2023_Resverie_b06=
[MADELINE left normal]
Fresh open air now. No temple in sight. 
[THEO right worried]
Uh...
[MADELINE left normal]
Feels great.
[THEO right worried]
...

VC2023_Resverie_b07=
[THEO right serious]
Are we going to talk about that?
[MADELINE left normal]
No, we’re not. 
[THEO right wtf]
Well-
[MADELINE left upset]
Now it’s just another room.
[THEO right worried]
-Okay.

VC2023_Resverie_b08=
[MADELINE left surprised]
Waugh!
[THEO right wtf]
Madeline we don’t have the time for this!

VC2023_Resverie_b09=
[MADELINE left sadder]
...
[THEO right serious]
Madeline... There’s still some business in the temple we need to finish, isn’t there?
[MADELINE left determined]
...Yeah. I have to keep going.
[THEO right serious]
Let’s go together, then.
[MADELINE left distracted]
...Let’s try, at least.

VC2023_Resverie_c00eye=
[MADELINE left sadder]
Together was never going to last.
[MADELINE left sad]
...
Yeah, I see you. I won’t keep you waiting.

VC2023_Resverie_c00darkness=
[MADELINE left distracted]
...
It’s cold down here.
[MADELINE left sad]
...
[MADELINE left determined]
Only one way to go.

VC2023_Resverie_c01start=
[MADELINE left upset]
Great. I’m in the depths again.
[MADELINE left sad]
...
It means I have some time to myself. 

VC2023_Resverie_c01mirror=
[MADELINE left angry]
Seekers are such a pain. 
They’re awkward, hard to handle, and just the presence of them seems to drive people away... 
[MADELINE left sadder]
I can’t really blame others for not wanting to deal with them, though.

VC2023_Resverie_c01bottom=
[MADELINE left distracted]
Oh yeah, I hope Theo hasn’t been hurt. 
Even if he isn't hurt by the seekers like I am, if something bad happens to him because of me...

VC2023_Resverie_c01eye=
[MADELINE left determined]
...He’s probably fine. 
Even though I can’t see him right now, if he was hurt, the temple would know. 
And I would too. 
[MADELINE left panic]
I just wish I could do something about the seekers. 
Containing them doesn’t work, trying to harness them has backfired.

VC2023_Resverie_c01seeker=
[MADELINE left normal]
Cutting them out would be nice...
[MADELINE left sadder]
But I can’t do that. 
[MADELINE left distracted]
It’s more like…
[MADELINE left determined]
Nevermind. That thought must never be allowed. 
Right now, I just need to focus on surfacing again. 
Let’s keep going.

VC2023_Resverie_c02start=
[MADELINE left distracted]
It’s still part of the temple after all...
[THEO right excited]
Madeline!
[MADELINE left surprised]
Wait, THEO? How can I hear your voice?
[THEO right thinking]
I don’t know myself. 
[THEO right serious]
But I know you’re somewhere down there, and you can hear me.
[MADELINE left sad]
Yeah.
...
[THEO right normal]
I can kind of see you through the darkness too. For now, just keep going forward.

VC2023_Resverie_c02maze=
[MADELINE left normal]
There's a maze here.
[THEO right thinking]
I know it looks bad, but believe me, it’s easier than it seems-
[MADELINE left normal]
Of course it is.
[THEO right wtf]
Hmm?
[MADELINE left peaceful]
Can I die in the maze?
[THEO right thinking]
Doesn’t seem like it. 
[MADELINE left normal]
So there’s nothing to worry about. It’s just tedious then.
[THEO right serious]
...Okay. Just keep ascending then. 

VC2023_Resverie_c02minefield=
[MADELINE left distracted]
Hmm... Is the temple becoming less effective? That was barely a maze at all.
[THEO right serious]
That's good for us, then.
[MADELINE left determined]
Hold on, if I can affect the temple in that way, then that means...
[THEO right worried]
Uh, Madeline?
[MADELINE left sad]
Yeah?
[THEO right worried]
Just keep dashing up. As fast as you can. 
[MADELINE left sad]
Okay.

VC2023_Resverie_c02mazedeadend1=
[THEO right normal]
Gah. Don’t worry though, you’re close.

VC2023_Resverie_c02mazedeadend2=
[MADELINE left sad]
There’s nothing this way, then...

VC2023_Resverie_c02mazedeadend3=
[THEO right normal]
Nope. But it shouldn’t be long now.

VC2023_Resverie_c02mazedeadend4=
[MADELINE left distracted]
Why this one...?

VC2023_Resverie_d00theo=
[THEO right excited]
Madeline! 
[THEO right worried]
You were stuck down there for so long. 
[MADELINE left sad]
Was I? 
[THEO right serious]
Well you were- It doesn’t matter. 
[THEO right normal]
Did anything happen to you down there?
[MADELINE left normal]
Yeah. I’ve made a huge discovery!
[THEO right thinking]
A discovery?
[MADELINE left together]
I’ve figured out how to deal with the seekers. 
Just locking them away hasn’t been that successful.
But if I think of them as stepping stones...
I can just use them to reach even greater heights and leave them behind me!
[THEO right wtf]
Uh
How did you figure that out?
[MADELINE left distracted]
Uhh-
I was just hit with inspiration. That’s all.
[MADELINE left normal]
And there’s another summit here too! Except this one is the real deal.
I know it now, I can take the seekers and use them to reach where I want to go. 
[THEO right worried]
Madeline...
Are you capable of that?
[MADELINE left angry]
There’s nothing wrong with me, Theo.
[MADELINE left determined]
I’m making it there. A new challenge popped up as I thought to use the seekers, so it can't be a coincidence.
[MADELINE left normal]
Besides, isn’t it great? You’ll get a chance to see the summit too.
You didn’t get to do so last time, so this’ll be a second chance. I’ll carry you up to there.
[THEO right normal]
Hey, I’m not doubting your skill. 
[THEO right worried]
But I don’t think that it’s going to give you the closure you want with the seekers.
Plus I don’t think you’ve fully thought that idea through. 
[MADELINE left sad]
What makes you say that?
[THEO right thinking]
It’s kinda obvious from looking at you. 
[THEO right serious]
Also, I know why you brought me here now. 
[MADELINE left surprised]
...
[MADELINE left sad]
What do you mean?
[THEO right serious]
I mean, I’m not the real Theo. 
The real Theo is back in Seattle, and he’s probably worried about you too. 
So I’m here because-
[MADELINE left sad]
Theo.
[THEO right worried]
Yeah?
[MADELINE left sad]
Get back in your crystal, Theo.
[THEO right worried]
…
...Not going to budge, huh.
You'll go with or without me, so I'll be right with you.
But please reconsider this, Madeline. 

VC2023_Resverie_d00backtrack=
[THEO right normal]
What's a room like this doing here?
[MADELINE left normal]
This place’s still responsive to our desires, then. 
It's a satisfying secret, isn't it?
[THEO right excited]
I was glad to see the birds, honestly. 
[MADELINE left normal]
Anyways, there's enough room for all of us in here. 
Me, you, and the you in the crystal.
[MADELINE left upset]
By the way why are there two of you in here
[THEO right thinking]
I don't know. Don't let me meet my doppelganger.

VC2023_Resverie_d01theopoint=
[MADELINE left determined]
Alright. This is my element.
[THEO right serious]
Hey, Madeline.
Even though the seekers are more confined now, they feel like they've grown even stronger.
[MADELINE left distracted]
You can see them blocking the exit...?
[MADELINE left normal]
But that doesn’t matter. There’s still a path for me to take. 
Use one seeker at a time to climb to the top.
That’s what we’re going to do, right?
[THEO right thinking]
You’re the boss here. You know I can't stop you.

VC2023_Resverie_d01shamechamber=
[THEO right excited]
Welcome to my special chamber Madeline. 
This is where I sit and think about everything that’s gone wrong in life.
[MADELINE left normal]
Oh, how convenient.
Much better than staring up at the ceiling.

VC2023_Resverie_d01tentacles=
[THEO right thinking]
The tentacles aren’t letting up yet. What are you going to do?
[MADELINE left determined]
I’ll just charge into them. 

VC2023_Resverie_d02theopoint=
[THEO right wtf]
Are you sure you want to put yourself through this?
[MADELINE left angry]
You think I’m going to let an annoying room stop me?
If I can’t stand something like this then there’s no way I’ll ever be able to rise above the seekers.
[THEO right worried]
What does “using the seekers to climb to the top” even mean? 
[MADELINE left sad]
…
[MADELINE left determined]
Thinking about the seekers gives me the energy I need to accomplish this.
And I can take those feelings to push myself forward.
It doesn’t matter if I fuel myself with spite and insecurity for a bit.
Once this is all over, I’ll be able to put the seekers behind me.
That’s what it means.
[THEO right thinking]
…

VC2023_Resverie_5bgv=
[MADELINE left deadpan]
No way it’s 5bgv
[THEO right wtf]
Huh?
[MADELINE left normal]
It’s nothing. 

VC2023_Resverie_d03theopoint=
[MADELINE left distracted]
So even this place follows the pattern.
[THEO right thinking]
What? 
[MADELINE left distracted]
Flag 3 takes elements from...
[MADELINE left normal]
Nevermind. It’s not relevant.
[THEO right normal]
If you say so.
[THEO right serious]
How’s the seeker situation?
[MADELINE left sad]
I've been managing just fine. The seekers have all been under control. 
With them I'll be able to scale the summit.
[THEO right thinking]
It doesn't feel like the situation with the seekers has changed all that much.
We're not even ascending anywhere this time.
[MADELINE left distracted]
Why should I care?
[THEO right serious]
Well, it is your goal. Are you sure it's going to help?
[MADELINE left angry]
Quiet. You sit there and watch. I don't need anything else from you.
[THEO right wtf]
Hey. That's uncalled for.
[MADELINE left angry]
...
[MADELINE left distracted]
Sorry.
[THEO right worried]
It's alright. But about what we were just talking about...
[MADELINE left sad]
It doesn't matter. I have to do this. I know I can.

VC2023_Resverie_d03secret=
[THEO right thinking]
This isn't a proper mountain, right? If you were to fall, where would you end up?
[MADELINE left distracted]
...

VC2023_Resverie_d03loss=
[MADELINE left distracted]
I feel like I’m going to lose my dash in this corridor...

VC2023_Resverie_d03gain=
[MADELINE left surprised]
There’s my dash- I need to get ready to jump!

VC2023_Resverie_d04theopoint=
[THEO right thinking]
This is it, then. The last obstacle in your way.
[MADELINE left surprised]
...
[THEO right serious]
What’s up?
[MADELINE left sad]
It’s already here...?
[THEO right thinking]
There was a countdown you know.
[MADELINE left distracted]
There was, but-
[MADELINE left panic]
Agh, it’s not done yet!
[THEO right worried]
What’s not done?
[MADELINE left distracted]
I messed up again...
[THEO right worried]
Madeline.
[THEO right serious]
Take a breather, Madeline. 
[MADELINE left distracted]
...
[MADELINE left sad]
Okay. I’m focused now.
[THEO right serious]
Are you okay?
[MADELINE left sad]
I’m okay enough.
I have to reach the top, at least.
[THEO right wtf]
Um, hasn’t that attitude been what’s causing this?
[MADELINE left sad]
...Yeah. I know that it hasn't been working out for me like I want.
But I should see this through. Quitting here wouldn't be any better for me.
[MADELINE left upset]
I know I can physically do it, at least.
[MADELINE left determined]
So might as well finish it off.
[THEO right serious]
That sounds like you, now.
[THEO right normal]
Okay. Let's go to the summit.

VC2023_Resverie_d04secret=
[THEO right thinking]
Does this room also follow a pattern?
[MADELINE left distracted]
It does. It’s like that one room...
[MADELINE left normal]
Oh, but you wouldn’t recognize it.
[THEO right wtf]
Way to leave me out of the loop.
[THEO right normal]
Speaking of recognizing things... 
[MADELINE left normal]
Yeah, I see it too. This place has a sense of humor sometimes.
[THEO right nailedit]
A mountain with a sense of humor sounds nice.

VC2023_Resverie_d04end=
[THEO right serious]
How are you, Madeline?
[MADELINE left sad]
I think I have my answer, at least. I know what needs to happen.

VC2023_Resverie_d05theopoint=
[THEO right serious]
About that answer-
[MADELINE left distracted]
Might as well reach the flag first.
[THEO right thinking]
Sounds good, then.

VC2023_Resverie_d05flag=
[MADELINE left distracted]
...Okay.
[MADELINE left sad]
This plan didn’t work. 
[THEO right wtf]
You’re admitting it just like that?
[MADELINE left sad]
Yeah. I think it was a flawed premise from the beginning.
[THEO right thinking]
I did tell you that, you know.
[MADELINE left distracted]
...
[MADELINE left sad]
Are you annoyed that I insisted on doing it anyways?
After all, you had to withstand my angst too.
[THEO right thinking]
Well, I did decide on going with you.
[THEO right normal]
Besides, it wasn’t a horrible experience. Climbing to the summit itself was pretty fun.
[MADELINE left normal]
That’s true! And it’s pretty nice up here.
[MADELINE left sad]
...
[THEO right serious]
So what’s now?
[MADELINE left distracted]
I’ll have to think for a bit. 
[THEO right thinking]
Sounds good.

VC2023_Resverie_d05badeline=
[BADELINE right scoff]
Hey. Did you miss me?

VC2023_Resverie_e00theo=
[MADELINE left sad]
Hey Theo, about earlier...
[THEO right serious]
...Which part? You’ve got to be more specific than that.
[MADELINE left sad]
About what you found out earlier. You’re not the real Theo. 
For that matter, I’m not the real Madeline either.
[THEO right wtf]
Oh, I didn’t know that part. 
[THEO right serious]
In that case, what are you?
[MADELINE left distracted]
Exactly what doesn’t matter. 
[MADELINE left sad]
But I’m just a Madeline whose seekers are a part of me. 
[THEO right thinking]
Oh... I get it now.
[THEO right serious]
Why did you bring me here, then?
[MADELINE left sad]
I brought you here because I needed someone else to watch.
[THEO right thinking]
Couldn’t you just ask?
[MADELINE left sadder]
It’s more than that. 
[MADELINE left sad]
I needed to carry someone through this place. Bear witness to the struggle we had.
I felt like that was the only way I could ever come to terms with the seekers.
[MADELINE left upset]
Even though my plans for them fell apart anyways.
[THEO right serious]
What are you going to do about them now?
[MADELINE left determined]
I think I realized something as we came here.
I’ll never be able to get rid of the seekers if I just lock them away inside or try warping them to my benefit.
[THEO right thinking]
I hate to be the one to bring this up, but I don’t think you’ll ever get rid of them entirely.
[MADELINE left sad]
...I don’t know. 
You’re probably right. 
[MADELINE left determined]
But I’ll need to face them head on, as they are, to move past this.
[THEO right serious]
Are you ready?
[MADELINE left peaceful]
Yeah. 
[MADELINE left normal]
Now I know I need to do this.
[THEO right normal]
And you need to carry me around with you, right?
[MADELINE left normal]
Maybe for a while. 
[MADELINE left sad]
But in the end, I’m going to have to finish it myself. 
[MADELINE left distracted]
Until then, though, would you accept letting me carry you there?
[THEO right excited]
Of course. Let’s go see this through.

VC2023_Resverie_e00badeline=
[BADELINE right scoff]
Finally figured it out?
[MADELINE left sad]
Yeah. And I’m not going to turn away from confronting the seekers anymore.
[BADELINE right normal]
Good. You’ve already overcome a Part of Yourself once. 
Even though this one is different, you know what you have to do.
[MADELINE left determined]
I’m ready.
[BADELINE right scoff]
You sure? It might tear you up, you know?
[MADELINE left together]
They’re not going to get me that easily. I know I can hold out.
[BADELINE right sigh]
Haha, of course I know. 
[BADELINE right upset]
I’m that other part of you after all. 
[MADELINE left upset]
By the way, why are you spinning
[BADELINE right normal]
It’s fun. Do I need another reason?
[MADELINE left distracted]
I guess I don’t.

VC2023_Resverie_e01theopoint=
[THEO right worried]
Look at it. The seekers completely unbound.
[MADELINE left sad]
...
[THEO right worried]
Don’t worry, I’ve got some chills too. 
[MADELINE left determined]
No, I'm familiar with this situation. I’m ready. 
You hear me in there? Time to face you head on.

VC2023_Resverie_e01secret=
[THEO right thinking]
Wait, why are we on the moon in the first place?
[MADELINE left normal]
I had a dream where I went to the moon once. Since this is like a dream, I've just returned.
[THEO right normal]
What makes it such a good place for you?
[MADELINE left distracted]
It’s like a mix of threatening unknown and comforting familiarity. A good environment to go over vulnerable feelings.
[THEO right thinking]
Is going to such a dangerous place a good idea? Even if it is a dream?
[MADELINE left distracted]
Well...
[MADELINE left normal]
That's part of the appeal. 
[THEO right serious]
So the seekers followed you here because of that?
[MADELINE left sad]
Yes, they did.

VC2023_Resverie_e02theopoint=
[THEO right serious]
It’s a bird...
[MADELINE left sad]
That means we're getting closer. This is definitely the right way.
[THEO right thinking]
To face the seekers without restraint, right?
But the seeker in this room actually seems pretty closed in.
[MADELINE left distracted]
...I don’t want to let it completely loose while you’re here. 
[MADELINE left sad]
When it gets free reign, I want to be facing it by myself.
[THEO right worried]
Are you sure?
[MADELINE left determined]
More than sure. 
[MADELINE left upset]
Besides, it’s more practical to actually be able to dodge them.
[THEO right normal]
Can’t argue with you there.
[MADELINE left normal]
Let’s go then. One last ride.

VC2023_Resverie_e02end=
[THEO right serious]
Looks like this is where we part.
Are you ready, Madeline?
[MADELINE left sad]
Yeah. Take care.
[THEO right normal]
Good luck.

VC2023_Resverie_e02secret=
[BADELINE right scoff]
Did you want to know what was down here that badly? Hmph. 

VC2023_Resverie_e03theo=
[THEO right normal]
Don’t worry about me Madeline. 
[THEO right excited]
Even if I’m not in your hands, know that I’m with you in spirit.

VC2023_Resverie_e03start=
[MADELINE left distracted]
I feel like the room is... Different somehow. 

VC2023_Resverie_e03fwfw=
[MADELINE left determined]
This is it. It's been a long road, but I have to face the seekers alone now.
[MADELINE left sad]
If I peer through the binoculars, I can see them from here. All parts of me.
Even if they can't help but hurt me, we need to work together. A dance in space to end this journey. 
[MADELINE left togetherZoom]
I’m ready when you are. Let’s go!

VC2023_Resverie_e03hint=
Hints:
Getting seekers to work with you is hard! Or perhaps inconsistent.
Here are some steps to make the process easier.
Though the path may be daunting, the binoculars are more than your guide:
They're a friend- Know you've made progress when they're within your grasp.
In the first section, avoid fast falling, but hit falling blocks sooner rather than later. 
Dirt blocks require you to dash twice in order to make it to the other side.
In the second section, you might find a nice surprise when you hit the falling spring block...
In the final section, think back on what has happened in the past,
and how the temple has made its messages before.
Good luck! -R^5&3V6%7@6(E

VC2023_Resverie_e03beauty=
[MADELINE left upset]
What an obnoxious room. 
[MADELINE left normal]
I guess it wasn’t too bad, though. It’s just... 
[MADELINE left sad]
The seekers. 
Removing the restraints reminded me of how hard it is to really work with them.
It felt like every small mistake I made was magnified. 
And if I let it build up, then I wouldn't be able to handle the result.
There were moments where I regretted trying in the first place and thought about abandoning the idea...
[MADELINE left normal]
But we came together in the end. And it was pretty cool too.
It'll probably still be difficult to face the seekers in the future.
I haven’t fully came to grips with them yet.
But now, I think I can accept them more.
After all, I know that it's just...
[MADELINE left peaceful]
Beauty in the eyes of the beholder.

VC2023_Resverie_beholderenter=
[MADELINE left determined]
There you are. Let’s settle this.

VC2023_Resverie_beholderseeker=
[MADELINE left angry]
You’re so hard to deal with, you know that?
[MADELINE left distracted]
But you already know that. 
[MADELINE left sad]
Do you have anything you want to say to me?
...
[MADELINE left distracted]
...Oh, I see.
[MADELINE left normal]
Well, you’re a Part of Me. I just needed to face you. 
[MADELINE left sad]
And you needed recognition, instead of being shut away, right?
...
Truthfully, part of me still doesn't want to accept you.
[MADELINE left upset]
I had to go through so much to get here in the first place.
And you still made it difficult.
[MADELINE left sad]
You aren't the only cause of my struggles, though. 
I brought a lot of hard times on myself.
...
Let's try working together again, okay?
[MADELINE left normal]
Okay. We’ve still got a long way to go. But we can figure that out.

VC2023_Resverie_beholderbadeline=
[BADELINE right concerned]
Finished everything up?
[MADELINE left distracted]
Is it ever really finished? 
[MADELINE left sad]
We’ll probably end up in conflict again in the future. 
[BADELINE right sigh]
Of course. You can’t always get along with the Parts of You after all.
[BADELINE right serious]
How many times have we fought since you climbed the mountain?
[MADELINE left determined]
But we just have to try again and again. 
[MADELINE left normal]
It’s the same with the seekers, isn’t it?
[BADELINE right scoff]
You tell me.
[MADELINE left upset]
Yeah, it is. 
[MADELINE left normal]
But at least we can start to come to terms with it. 
Now, though, it’s time for some rest.
[BADELINE right normal]
Finally. Let’s go home.

VC2023_Resverie_finaltheo=
[THEO right normal]
How did it go? 
[MADELINE left sad]
I’m not sure. 
[MADELINE left normal]
But it ended well.
[THEO right nailedit]
That’s good enough then.
[MADELINE left sad]
Thank you, by the way. For the help, and for putting up with me.
[THEO right thinking]
I mean, you are the one that carried me through there. 
[MADELINE left peaceful]
That’s true, but I have to share this gratitude anyways.
[THEO right normal]
Anytime Madeline. Thanks for taking me with you.
[MADELINE left normal]
Of course, Theo!

VC2023_Resverie_finalhint=
[MADELINE left distracted]
Hmm? Why is this dialogue box here?

VC2023_Resverie_theonottheo=
[THEO right normal]
You’ve got a bit more to say?
[MADELINE left normal]
No, I think I’ve said all I wanted to you.
[THEO right normal]
That’s fine and all, but…
[THEO right serious]
You’ve still got some more to say, right? 
Just not directly to me?
[MADELINE left distracted]
...
[MADELINE left sad]
Yeah. I do.
Firstly, thank you for coming with me all this way. 
I'm sure there were some rough patches, but it’s over now.
[MADELINE left distracted]
I know this hasn’t exactly been normal. 
[MADELINE left sad]
I won’t blame you if constantly running my mouth annoyed you. 
But as crude as it is, I needed to bring you to see this place.
[MADELINE left normal]
Actually, I should be congratulating you. 
[MADELINE left peaceful]
It’s not like you did nothing. You’ve made it through the whole map, after all! 
[MADELINE left distracted]
Regardless of any of that... 
[MADELINE left normal]
I hope that you had fun! And thanks for this journey.

VC2023_Resverie_aseekerview=
[THEO right normal]
What’s this Madeline?
[MADELINE left distracted]
I was messing around in flag 3 and tried doing a gultra with you for fun. 
Then I spent a while messing around, trying to get as far as possible. 
This is what I ended up with.
[THEO right thinking] 
So it’s just a gultra?
[MADELINE left distracted]
Yeah. It’s just a debug room, so there’s no actual reward there. 
If you really want to, though, you can see a seeker view.

Down here, in the frozen depths...
The ocean may ask of you a task, a goal...
Something you may have never had to consider...
Never had the correct mindset to achieve...
It is a tall order...
You, shivering cold, aching from the pressure of the ocean's weight.
Here, you must do as I heed...
...
To complete this room, you need to perform chained {~}{#FA8072}"Salmon Shuffles"!{/~}{#}
To do this, perform a {~}{#FA8072}"Salmon Shuffles"{/~}{#}, then chain it as if it were an ultra!
Keep in mind, this is not a gultra, you have to jump to perform it.
If you don't get the correct speed, you may need to dash sooner after the fish than you are.
However, be sure to keep in mind the height required for the ultra!
Alternatively, you may need to delay the jump after an ultra, to make sure you jump and down-diagonal dash as close to the fish as possible.
{~}Happy Salmoning!{/~}
Er- uh, perhaps shuffling?

DIA_TUTORIAL_C=
{anchor bottom}
This far below, there's only one respite from the deathly colds...
{#eb2a2a}{~}Promethian Geysers.{/~}{#}
These spouts of hot water and steam are said to have once protected against a horrific evil.
A {~}barrier{/~} between the life of the innocent and death by the hands of the decrepit.
Now, the geysers have become their own form of destruction.
The jellyfish cannot handle such heat, they dissipate instantly.
However, do not hesitate, you who have tread so low.
I have a feeling these jellyfish are somehow designed to meet these geysers.
Call it fate, call it chance, call it intelligent design...
No matter, at the end the jellyfish must meet their fate, same as us...
{0.3}Same as you, too.
{#858585}(Do not backboost jellies.)
(Do not hold jump when grabbing a jellyfish, A.K.A a "jelly bump", as this will result in too much height in every room.)

DIA_TUTORIAL_D=
{anchor middle}
The spaces we move through may very well be open.
But sometimes, even in the vast open void of the deep ocean...
There are directions we cannot move.
Perhaps you can relate.
It can all fly by so fast, all the opportunities, all the seemingly endless possibilities...
Yet, even still, some directions might as well be death themselves...
After all, they'll only slow you down.
...
{#858585}(Sometimes, it is more lenient and feasible to do a blockboost by starting with a {~}diagonal dash{/~}, instead of a horizontal one or a vertical one.)
(This is largely done to allow a little more time for the swapping block to push Madeline for longer, where a horizontal would be too short of time.)
(It may also be used to allow more time for a swapping block to retract further before blockboosting.)
(It can also help to have more height when you jump from a blockboost.)
(Keep in mind, this is not always the best way to double blockboost, especially if the swapping block is fully retracted.)
(To complete this room, dash diagonally upleft into the swapping block, and then blockboost with a right dash.)


DIA_TUTORIAL_E=
{anchor middle}
Down in these depths, sometimes it seems like there's no direction...
No path for us bottom-feeders to take.
However, life may be counter-intuitive.
You may relate to this, shivering one.
Sometimes, to go up, you must drop.
Forget forward, forget backward. Sometimes, the only way is down.
...
{#858585}(To complete this, neutral drop the jellyfish into the gap in the barriers for later use.)
(All neutral drops are indicated.)
(In this map, it will never be buffer tight, you will always have a decent window to perform this action.)
{~}(Therefore, it's "low gm"!){/~}

DIA_TUTORIAL_E_B=
{anchor middle}
{#858585}(Helpful tip: don't super!)


DIA_TUTORIAL_F=
{anchor bottom}
A note about {~}{#FA8072}"Salmon Shuffles"!{/~}{#}
These are not the same move as a "grounded ultra", as you do not touch the ground after the input of the hyper.
Instead, upon performing a {~}{#FA8072}"Salmon Shuffles"{/~}{#} and hitting the fish, you merely preserve your momentum 1:1.
This is technical knowledge, but it is helpful for understanding it's later uses.
Also, this map never requires timings with jumping off the fish or the duration of holding the jump.
You either hit jump on the fish, or you do not. Often times, you do want to jump, and hold it to get the maximum height before the next input.

DIA_TUTORIAL_G=
{anchor bottom}
On the ocean floor, it's easy to get swept away in the currents.
However, not all is lost to be swept away.
You may relate to this, land dweller.
Sometimes in life, you need to go one way to go the other.
...
{#858585}(Here, you need to do whats known as a double blockboost.)
(To perform a double blockboost, dash into a swapping block in any way, then jump.)
(After jumping, dash in any direction that matches the momentum of the blockboost.)
(By dashing soon enough after jumping, your dash will have the blockboost's momentum added to your dash, allowing for big speed.)
(Here, perform a double blockboost by doing a wallbounce up into the swapping block, and then an ultra out of the blockboost.)
(If you see a swap block, you always need to {~}double block boost{/~}, and never simply blockboost.)

DIA_TUTORIAL_H=
{anchor bottom}
In these depths, habits can form...
Habits that can force us down the wrong path, led astray by instincts...
...
Habits like skipping my dialogue.
{#858585}(In this berry, you need to utilize a {~}holdable dash{/~}.)
(If you receive freeze frames from, for example, a puffer explosion while holding a jellyfish, you can actually dash while technically holding a jelly.)
(To do this, you need to let go of {~}grab{/~} just before receiving the freeze frames, then hit dash, followed quickly by holding grab again.)
(By letting go of hold just before the puffer explosion's freeze frames, you continue to hold the jelly without being in a grab state, allowing you to dash, and then grab the jelly again.)

And finally, what became of this place, of the people stuck down here...
Purged in total darkness, without light...
Down so deep that no echo escapes...
Down here, one may reach absolution.
Down here, where one loses all senses.
No sense of touch, for the body has frozen numb...
No sense of sight, for the light above dissolves in the water...
No sense of sound, for the pressure on the ears deafens...
Here, all one has left is to look inward. 
What will you find?
You, who travelled so deep to find a semblance of self-actualization.
Have you truly found what you have come for?
Well, all I can say now...
I hope that, in some way, you find some form of peace.
Perhaps that's all one can hope for.
To silence the rushing waves in our own head.
To travel so far below, so distanced from the outside world that it ceases to exist.
But, in a way, once one has reached this state.
...
You might as well cease to exist, as well.

There's only so much as I can give;
As I stare up into the bleeding light;
I wonder what good all my givings do;
as it dissipates into the cloudy night;

Is wasted time worth celebration?
Thrown into the senseless void;
Will my mistakes be forgiven;
or will I be haunted by the noise?

[MADELINE left normal]
I live in a city with a modest railway system, and it travels from the northwest corner to the southeast corner. 
Each morning I take it to work, I have to travel corner to corner to get to and from my workplace. 
There are 6 railway stops across the admittedly small metroplex. 
The naming convention for these stops is quite unique: each stop has a station that is marked by a different shape. 
The shapes are Circle, Square, Diamond, Triangle, Star and Hourglass. 
Also, at two of these stations, the track-switch at the east end switches to allow for other commercial rails to pass in the night. 
These two stations that are beyond this point- Star and Hourglass- thus have two stations, one for each configuration of the track-switch. 
These are known as the “light” and “dark” versions of each station. 
Interestingly, the train announcer says the shape, the time of day, and then “station”. 
If you, for example, were to stop on the north-most station at night, you would hear “Square Dark Station”. 
Now, I tend to get home in the late evening thanks to my odd work hours, much later than the standard workday, so I always get on the train back home after the track switch. 
Because of this, I have to get off the train at the night version of the Star stop. 

Yesterday, I got on the train to head into town, but as I approached work I started to feel ill. 
I couldn’t get any work done, because my head swirled as I stared at the computer. 
I decided I had to get back home, because I was clearly coming down with some illness, and didn’t wanna make anyone else sick. 
I let my boss know, and wearily made the short walk 3 blocks to the city’s central Triangle station near my work. 
This was far earlier than I usually get on the train; I don’t know that I’ve ever gone west to east during the day. 
So, upon arriving back to my station, nearly passing out from just how ill I felt, I heard the words for the first time:

[MADELINE left peaceful]
“Now arriving, Starlight Station.”

[IDIOT left normal]
"This map is built in a very open way."
"You can pretty much skip to the end if you want."
"But the real fun comes from exploring the entirety of it and finding the hidden strawberries."
"I personally recommend trying seeking as many strawberries as you can instead of just rushing through."
"No tech is required to beat the map itself, but strawberries need only intermediate tech, so there's nothing to worry about."
"I wish you good luck and have fun!"

[Madeline left normal]
Well, I think I have a theory.
What if all of this is just a dream that I only need to wake up from?
There's nobody to slap me to test it...
[Madeline left determined]
...but maybe the power of the Crystal Heart is enough to do so.

    This elevator shaft used to be the heart of the whole operation.

    Years ago, some lazy janitor took a smoke on the job handling a barrel of septic waste and blew the walls clean out.
    "The first man to ride an elevator to hell."
    Was the only interesting part of training, but something about it all feels real fishy to me.

Hi, I'm ABuffZucchini!
I was the main host of the contest, and did some of the initial decoration and setup for the lobby, along with the first few entrances.
Reality is I didn't do nearly as much for the contest as some of the other people here, and there's no chance the contest could've been done this year without them.
I've always thought that dependencyless stuff is super cool in concept and leads to lots of outside the box ideas, and it's been extremely cool to play all the maps, and see how far people go with that thinking.
So go and play the maps! They're very fun, tobyaaa's is my favorite :)

Hi! I'm ABuffZucchini

VC2023_tobyaaa_Credit=
Hi! I'm tobyaaa!
I did a bunch of stuff with the lobby - decorating maybe a sixth or so of it.
I had a ton of fun doing so, including (my personal favorite) the heart gate's decoration.
It was a real pleasure being part of this contest (and being the server's resident stupid emote adder), and though I wasn't a judge I really hope you enjoy!
(Genuinely this contest has the single most dense collection of sheer creativity I've seen in quite some time.)

Oh, and one more thing:
As of me writing this, I got ahold of the whole lobby zip, and decided to do a little something silly.
I should say there's no reward or completion check for this, and it was never playtested or anything - it's just for fun.
Nothing in a map entrance or beyond the heart gate counts...
{~}I spy a campfire, stove, and a man made of snow,
a slanted stone pillar, five hearts in a row; 
one outhouse, two benches, three signs stacked upright,
two chests, a lift, and a solid stone fright;
the resort's front desk, a tiny huge tree, dead fish in love, and, last, an "IT".{/~}

VC2023_Credits_Fischboy= Hey there, Fischboy here! I made a map for this contest and I hope you enjoyed playing it!

I also did a lot of quality control work on the lobby, spending many hours running around and going into levels to make sure that things worked and to catch some mistakes that may have been made.

I’d like to think that my over 20 pages of feedback, comments, and quick edits helped save everyone else a good deal of time having to look for things themselves :peaceline:

I also did the initial tile layout of the right room and heart gate, though Zucchini, tobyaaa, and BossSauce made that room look way better than my rough draft.

Finally, I made the map in the lobby journal, to help make it easier for people to find that one last map.

I’d like to give a very special thank you to Zucchini for trusting me with the lobby to spend so much time in, 

as well as honestly listening to and implementing a good amount of the comments that I made.

Being able to contribute to something of this scope really helped me push through the burnout I was in for most of September, 

and I am really grateful to you for letting me help at all.

Also special thanks to BossSauce, who along with Zucchini ended up as a recipient of my many google docs and another frequent implementer of the changes I suggested. 

Sorry for the extra work, but again, I like to think that it saved time in the long run.

Finally, I’d like to thank all five of the judges for all of their hard work. I know it was difficult, but it’s thanks to the effort you put in that we can have this incredible final product.

I greatly appreciate all of the comments you all made on my map! I’m only getting started. Look forward to the sequel :)

I really hope you enjoy the contest! I might be biased, but it’s incredibly stacked, and so many of the maps could have easily been top placers in a contest that didn’t have 65 entries.

Thanks for listening to me ramble, and have a happy Vanilla Contest!

Welcome to the Vanilla Contest credits!
I'd like to start by thanking all the people who made a map for the contest! The contest would not have been possible without all these super unique maps being made for it!

Adam Korinek, aonkeeper4, bryse0n, citrea, CoolBread, Elsira, erou, Evankrusher948, Flagpole1up, galaxyone, Glow Woomii, grog, HiveMindsRule, Marster772, Mateuszkus, microlith57, Moladan, nascence, pansear, phant, Phrog, Puggyplayz, Purppelle, Quinnigan, Salted_Salmon, Sapphire_Xer0, Soloiini, Spooooky, SunsetQuasar, tobyaaa, valkyria, Worldwaker2, yakaki, Yoshachobi7
Also, I'd like to thank the judges, being me (ABuffZucchini), Appels, Asgord, Gamation, and touhoe for playing 65 whole maps, which is more than any of us expected to be signing up for! 
Some other general credits that aren't in any of the other credits rocks in the room:
Thanks yakaki for the icons.
Thanks Moladan for doing a bit of extra entrance work.
thanks microlith57 for doing some coding for Collab Utils 2 features needed for the contest.
nascence for the amazing lobby music.
Worldwaker2 for some English.txt polish.
And Tear for the endscreen!

Hi, I'm Spooooky! I made a whole bunch of entrances for the lobby, set up the credits, and did general tidying up of the lobby.
I also decorated 2 of the maps in the contest! <3
