Easter Egg

At line #159 in outfit.rpyc is code for some sort of Easter egg, but it seems to be inaccessible without the developer console.

Unused Outfits

outfit.rpyc also contains some references to two unobtainable outfits that appear to be Homestuck references, of all things! No graphics for them exist in the game's files, though.

        tavros=(12,17),
        jade=(192,387),

(under "princess_outfitpos")

        tavros=(740,1183),
        jade=(313,814),

princess_outfit_overlay = dict(jade='glasses',history='history-glasses',
        intrigue='intrigue-lens')
    princess_outfit_overlaypos = dict(
        jade=(240,226),
        history=(82+28,49+76),

Early Dossier

dossiers.rpyc contains an unused copy of Corisande's dossier code, seemingly an earlier version given the name. It has the same text as the final version, but with a few formatting differences.
