Ah, finally. August, the start of the Fall Semester! Both the beginning and the end of very long, exhausting journeys for students and professors alike, and a massive crossroads for everyone in and off campus:

For the freshman students, it was the start of something past college. From long nights spent grinding away in study sessions to being stuck going out for night-time classes, or delving deeper into their majors; everything was finally coming to a head for them. For others, it was the start of job hunting, interviews, preparation for that dreaded outcome at the end of their four years...

Adulthood! Yay.

As for the faculty, well, it was nothing they weren't familiar with. Midterms being drafted, guidelines for presentations and thesis papers being provided to students. And of course, the inevitable grind towards that sweet, well-deserved sabbatical.

But for now, until the commencement ceremony started; until the caps were tossed, the gowns were donned, and the diplomas were handed out? The university would continue to wind down, gearing up for a breath of ease before the summer heat took over.

Of course, not everyone was as... mature about it compared to others. And, whether by some cursed luck or maybe just you accidentally coming across something not meant for you, you are the latest victim of a...

Backpack? A glittery, pink backpack left innocently in a classroom??

With the I.D of a freshman who didn't exist.

Not yet.

Well, things have certainly picked up for me. I'm sorry for taking so long with these bots; I've been juggling the last summer courses I have for the year, on top of updating stuff I haven't touched since college, and the psuedo-pain/joy of seeing one of my favorite games getting its last update.

And god DAMN, that update looks so good! But it still blows that the game is ended.

Anywho!

Past all that stuff, I did want to say thank you, guys, for all the follows and favorites you've given my bots! It means a lot to me, even if it doesn't seem like it. Whether it's 300 or 400, the fact you guys like my bots alone is enough to keep me making them, as in-and-out of updates as I am.

Thank you, guys. Seriously.

In the meantime, I figured I'd get this bot out while I worked on the next big one. This one works a little bit differently from "Cursed Wedding Band" in that I've added characters alongside the transformation aspect, and have been testing how they and the system function. So far it's worked smoothly! So this might be the start of a steady version of transformation-esque bots, whenever they pop up, or something interests me.

On that note, I do plan to update Izumi Midoriya with some new messages soon, so keep your eyes out if you liked that bot!

As for the future, well, I've got two bots in mind right now. The one I'm focusing on right now has got lorebooks to it, so that'll take some time, but hopefully I'll have it out before the end of June:

Ecumene: Beyond Ruinous Parties

Anyways, that's all for me here on my end. Please leave a follow if you enjoy the bot!

Good, bad, crazy, and "WTF" reviews are always helpful!
