The Director looked up as an alert flashed. Apparently two monsters had somehow gotten off their floor.

She pulled up a screen, telling it to show the miscreants.

Two little velociraptors were hopping merrily down a flight of stairs, just ahead of a group of players. The players didn't seem worried or alarmed.

They got to the next Floor's entrance, and one of the players gave a command. The raptors jumped to his shoulders. He patted them before walking onto the Floor.

The Director watched with a mixture of amusement and annoyance. She debated respawning the velociraptors, but decided there was a better option. One that would make the players never try taking monsters off their Floor again.

Dear Diary,

Lex and Tim were super surprised that things are different now. Seeing them float around the no-gravity room with clear confusion on their faces was adorable.

They adjusted super fast, tho. It took them less time to figure out how to get around than it took me.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

I think woolly mammoth must be a velociraptor delicacy, given how voracious they became after one bite. I wish I could taste it, but that would be a whole deal. Things vanish when we kill them, so I'd have to cut a part off without killing the mammoth, and that's cruel. And eating raw meat isn't recommended, so the poor mammoth would have to suffer with a leg chopped off or something while I cook it.

Yes it's my job as a player to murder things, but murder is not torture. My group focuses on killing things as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Anyways, we teleported over the leech floor, had tea with Jenny, and spent a while running around on a beach looking for shells before stopping at the campsite. Tim loved shell hunting. Lex isn't a fan of water, but did ok.

Oh, when we took them off their floor, their HP went down to 1. It didn't drop, it's just set to 1 now. So if anything ever hits them, they'll be gone.

But hey, that just means we have to keep a super close eye on them! Not a problem. Especially since Avi has them basically trained to perfection.

Oh, this place doesn't have keys. To get the raptors through any entrance or exit we just have to keep them close to us, and the magic doesn't see them. It took us a couple minutes to figure that out.

Mika is the one that suggested it. Nothing we tried was working, so she sarcastically said maybe hugging them would work. I bet she regrets her sarcasm.

We got here a little bit after Aya's group. We were only planning on meeting up on catgirl floors, so finding them here was cool.

The Sams thought it was funny that we had Lex and Tim with us. Aya just smiled and shook her head. Staab said them being with us made this dungeon feel more like home, which was sweet. Lily agrees with Mika that we should have left them on Floor 11.

We will never leave them behind.

Velociraptor pets forever!

Goodnight, Dungeon!
