Dear Diary,

Fire was a lot more comfortable today. We started out all six of us in the water, so there was a bigger group and she wasn't as noticeable. Then we started playing games, and she forgot all about what she was wearing.

After lunch the Sams came over with Frog and Octavius’ group, and they wanted to play volleyball.

Oh yeah, the Sams are currently both guys. They’ve changed their names to be Sam69 and Sam420. They’ve both got green magic, so they look exactly the same. Aya said she can tell them apart, but only if she focuses. Not at a glance.

So this afternoon it was Avi, Y, Staab and the Sams against Steel and Frog’s group. Kimi, Fire and I were the cheer teams. Kimi cheered for our group, Fire for hers, and I cheered for both. Mostly because Fire isn't very loud, and needed help.

Avi did a really good job. The last time he played a ball game it was basketball, and he did really bad. He looked like he didn't know what to do, and was scared of the other team cuz they ran at him when he had the ball, and was scared of his team cuz he was doing a bad job. It was overall a very bad experience.

But this time, he had a specific area to be in, with clear directions, and the other team was safely on the other side of the net, and he only missed the ball once. So his team was happy with him. Which made him happy, and he had a lot of fun.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

Back in our old dungeon, if anyone had asked him to take his shirt off and play a ball game all day, I think he immediately would have said no and left. They would have had to drag him comatose onto the court. Today, the Sams showed up and asked if the guys wanted to join, and he agreed without hesitation.

I'm proud of him. He’s grown as a person, and I love that he had fun with his friends today.

In other news, Aya wasn't there today because she was at a hot sauce eating contest with Mika. I don't know how that whole thing happened, but basically someone wanted a hot dog eating contest but there aren't hot dogs here. It spiraled until the contest became eating hot sauce.

A couple people died, but that’s ok cuz they just respawned in their rooms. In the next world I wonder if it’ll be hard to remember that death is permanent and more than a minor inconvenience. The Admins can change how we feel about things, so maybe they’ll just up our fear of death fifty times.

Anyways, tomorrow is gonna be the last beach day. Then we’ll all do our boring tests, and the cycle will be over. I'll be sad, but it’ll be nice to be almost the only person with green hair again. Seeing everyone with green hair is just a little weird.

I bet the Director hates that we easily found a way around what she wanted us to do.

That makes me just a little happy.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
