Talking Busts: Started adding placeholder expressions, so I can later just plug in the 'official' ones without editing every single dialogue string during Art Fight. Overall, only the 'new' stuff from the last two days have their expressions added. This will be a long and tedious process that I'll do throughout the next few months.

New Characters: Greteland Razz.

Added Dialogue: 

- Aria and Deems can now talk to Payne (including asking him to join their group). Added a small amount of dialogue for them to Miles and Christopher, but I'm not happy with it yet.

New Quests:  

- Bottom Eyelash Gang!: Done on a whim after a dumb Twitter image. Purposefully joking with the 'club' trope in a lot of Japanese school anime, what with needing five members exactly, and starting with a lone member.

- The Everyone Gang!: Created on a whim when writing dialogue for Aria with Gretel. Just made sense. This will be a far-reaching—albeit pointless—quest. May be tough, but we'll see. After Aria creates the group, dialogue with most people should change instantly to her asking them to join. Some require quests first, and she's not as pushy as Zane is, so she might not mention asking them to join right away.

May conflict with some nice dialogue already formed with Aria, which is my biggest concern. I don't want nice chains to be entirely overwritten, but it could be difficult to have both. Maybe using many Switches can help, at least for quests.

- Hind Corpio: Razz's quest. It's required to make him join either of the above 'gangs.' This quest has very many different dialogue branches, variables, and switches, depending on whether Zane or Aria is talking, as well as whether they have done portions of 'Pest Control' or started their 'gangs' or not. There may be errors.

Edited Quests: 

- Aye-Aye, AI!: 

- Susan no longer joins the party; instead, when one asks for her, one is automatically teleported to Jezebel and the rest of the sidequest plays out automatically. Saves time and hassle.

- There is no longer a second portion of the quest, due to time constraints (and not having any ideas stick out right now). Jezebel's hologram returns, and the quest ends.

- Zane can revisit Susan for a Teddy Bear afterwards, thus obtaining his reward.

Edited Map:

- Made 'Outside' slightly smaller because there was so much dead space. 

Edited Sprites:

- Razz, Nightingale, Gretel, and Corpio have some edits to their heads (and Razz's body in terms of stripes).
