-Loot soul
-Added programs
-Equippable items that change LavenderMan's functionalities

-Added the "steal.bat" program, it allows LavenderMan to steal the soul(s) of a defeated opponent, has a 100% chance of dropping from 8bit as loot if you don't have it already
-LavenderMan no longer has the ability to obtain souls by default, he now has to equip the "steal.bat" program to do so
-Changed the soul drop chances of 8bit, he now has a 50% chance to drop a soul as loot when defeating him. He will only drop a soul if "steal.bat" is equipped
-ZSoul is now Lock-on enabled
-MaglevSoul now has an overdrive state. Where normally LavenderMan would de-soul when under 30 HP, MaglevSoul will activate the overdrive state as a failsafe. While overdrive is active, LavenderMan's MaglevSoul will increase in buster rank and double in fire speed. But overdrive can only protect LavenderMan for so long. If his HP drops to 10, overdrive will fail and he will finally de-soul.

-added the "focused" and "stunned" emotions
