Dear Diary,

We made it to Floor 40! It's weird to think that we're already two thirds of the way through the dungeon. I'm glad this dungeon is way smaller than our old one.

I didn't write it yesterday, but the air elementals from Floor 91 are here. We spent a while fake fighting them as we talked.

And then today we found the Floor 94 dire wolves! That was epic. They were super happy to see us, and I gave them all the meatballs I had saved up. Whiiiich means when we left they were about half again as strong as they should have been. I kinda feel like I should apologize to any players who came through after us.

But oh well. What am I supposed to do, not feed the wolves when Siri and Floofles are sitting there all expectantly, watching me with those adorable faces? That's crazy talk.

Anyways, we made it here and I asked if I could borrow the catgirl's kitchen. She said no.

I really wasn't expecting that.

I mean, I respect it, it's her kitchen, but it surprised me.

So lasagna and energy drink making will have to wait till Floor 50. I hope.

Being in a big party is fun. I hope we get to be in parties of ten at least a couple times. It's good to all be together.

Samuel and Samurai miss Samantha. They're kinda lost without her. They keep looking around like they're about to ask someone something, but the person isn't there. It's sad. They're sticking close to Aya, like they did when we first became players.

Aya is more… openly romantic with them than what she was before. Which is probably good. Before, it was kinda ambiguous what their relationship was. Like they didn't want to put labels on anything. But now if anyone asked, they'd have a solid answer.

Not that anyone's going to ask. Especially not me, since it's none of my business. And… Ok, Avi is kinda jealous. I think I talked about how cool and pretty and smart Aya is one too many times, and he doesn't like it.

Anyways, Kimi said she hasn't gotten in trouble for destroying Floor 28 yet, so they're probably good. They say they won't do it again unless they have a really good reason.

Which is the most truthful thing they could say.

Avi and I, meanwhile, are debating kidnapping a bee off Floor 6. On the one hand, bees are adorable, and having a fuzzy flying pet would be epic. On the other hand, Floor 6 is super high up there, and an NPC from Floor 25 could probably kill the bee by giving it a stern glare.

But then, Lex and Tim are now at Floor 11, which means a stiff breeze on Floor 30 could kill them. Not a whole lot better.

Buuuut, Lex and Tim are used to traveling with us. They're trained, which makes up for their low level. Mostly. Bees would have to be taught that teleportation isn't scary and stuff like that.

If we wanted to wait, I guess we could kidnap Siri wolf or one of that pack. But waiting is boring and playing with velociraptors is fun.

We'll see how we're feeling next cycle.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
