Dear Diary,

New cycle!

AND!!! I GOT MY FOOD BACK!!!!!

There wasn’t any explanation or anything, but I opened my inventory and all the food was there!!!

And! We’re in parties of two, so I get to spend this cycle just me and Avi! And and! We’re nekos, so that’s great! And and and and and! Since the Admin asked, we’re all silver, so I have illusion magic this cycle!

AND!

…Ok, yeah, I think that’s about it. I’ll stop with the ands. They kinda got away from me there…

I’m just excited about everything! Life is good again. I have food, I have a wonderful husband, I have fuzzy cat ears, and I have fancy magic. What could be better?

I will admit, some people look better with silver hair than others. I think it suits Aya worst. She looks about twenty years older somehow. And Kimi doesn’t really look good with silver hair, it’s the wrong… tone or something.

Y, on the other hand, looks… dashing? Elegant? I don’t know. For once he doesn’t look like there’s something fundamentally wrong with him. Altho it might be that the eye that’s usually black is silver now, so he’s got one silver eye and one blue, which isn’t a noticeable difference. His eyes being extremely different colors did add to the weirdness.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

But the person who looks the absolute best is Mika. I think she’s changing it slightly with a spell, but her hair is truly a shimmering silver. Everyone else’s “silver” hair just looks grey to me. It’s… fine.

And yes, I still think grey and white hair should be reserved for old people. If I were in charge of everything, I’d have Avi’s hair be black. Or literally any other color. But I’m not, and he can have any color hair he chooses.

He absolutely knows my opinions. When we got to Floor 2 he made fun of me for how horrified I must be at all my friends having “old people hair”. He said I should trade in my bonk stick for a cane, cuz I’ve got grey hair so I must be old and decrepit. He asked if we could have prune juice with lunch.

Oh, the Sams are together, Kimi and Y are together, Aya is with Staab, and Mika is with Lily.

The Admin asked us to use silver magic this cycle to annoy the Director, but I don’t know if she’s noticed yet. I don’t know what will happen when she notices. Like, will we even know?

I think the other groups all noticed, though. We were getting a lot of looks as we left the first Floor. Steel messaged Avi asking if there was something special going on. I think he answered that we’re all silver because we can be.

Anyways, this should be a good cycle. I can cook again, so I’m gonna be trying out the new food magic! So far all I’ve discovered is that the complete dishes, like hamburgers and pizza, don’t do anything different. But adding extra tomatoes and taking tomatoes away does change the magic very slightly.

So yeah, experimentation is in my future!

…I’ve also got to remember to try eating a rock in the Floor with no gravity. Altho that might just have been the Admin trolling.

We’ll see.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
