Cycle 1 (3)

Dear Diary,

It's weird getting to a catgirl floor with players already on it. Usually we're way ahead, but in a new dungeon I guess things will be different.

To be fair, we're only the second group here. But that does mean ten people were wandering around.

We decided to spend the night here. I spent a while cooking with Y and Masha (the chef here). I don't know if we'll meet any slimes, but we made a bunch of ranch balls just in case. And meatballs. And some box-mix cakes. Because you never know when a cake will come in handy.

Oh! Mika is making an oven type thing to go on top of campfires! So I can make food on catgirl floors then just reheat it when we're at campsites. That'll make things easy. And since it's a cheap, non-magical item, it should stay in our party inventory when the cycle resets.

Oh yeah! Party inventories are a thing, but the other two shared inventory types aren't. So that's good but also kinda sucks. I'm glad we have something, but on cycles when we have to go solo I’ll miss it.

Anyways, the catgirls here don't know which Admin they had. I kinda want to ask our Admin how we'll know which catgirls are from Admin 3's dungeon, since before now no Admin gave their number. He specifically told us to watch out for them, but I don't know how we're supposed to do that.

I wonder why we shouldn't trust them. Like, what did they do that's so bad and scary? We did plenty of things we weren't supposed to, but that got us trusted more.

Oh, the floors! I was kinda gonna write down what each floor was…

Floor 7 is a water floor. It's got a big squid in the middle, and a pack of killer whales swims around the edges. Killer whales are very different from sharks. They're smarter, and hunt together. They don't just see something in the water and bite it.

Floor 8 was cool. It's an old mansion-type house, with pit traps and arrows that come from walls and stuff. There aren't really any living monsters in the house, other than plants and a swarm of rats in one room. Mostly it was just traps. It made for a nice change.

Floor 9 is a swamp, but instead of water it's strawberry syrup. The worst kind of syrup. There are mosquitoes made out of sugar, and alligators made out of waffles. At first we were like "can waffle teeth hurt?" and then one ripped Samuel's arm off. Turns out, grip strength does not rely on sharpness. Thankfully Aya's halberd goes through waffle flesh super easy, so they weren't hard to beat.

Swamps are the worst. Even candy swamps.

And then Floor 10 is a catgirl floor! So yeah, that's it. Mika went to see what's on the next floor, so we'll be prepared a little bit for tomorrow. I hope it's not a swamp or slimes. I'm not gonna say those are the absolute worst things to have ever existed, but they do suck. A lot. And I hate them.

Avi's calling me, I have to go!

Goodnight, Dungeon!
