The Director frowned, going through the catgirl’s messages again. As far as she could tell, the message she caught going to Admin 6 was the first message Athena had ever sent to an Admin. Any Admin.
Athena had messaged every mob and NPC in the dungeon, but only a handful of people had more than five messages sent to them.
The only player she’d messaged was Samuel, one of Admin 6’s group. That was obviously the connection, but the Director didn't have the time nor patience to read through dozens of multi-paragraph messages that mostly consisted of outrageous, borderline erotic flirting.
So she moved on to Samuel’s messages.
She found no messages from him to Admin 6. Or any other Admin. The only message to him from Admin 6 was the introductory message.
The Director glared at her screens.
She would not give up.

Dear Diary,
I now know that Avi trusts me to the point that he will lick a rock if I ask him to.
Or at least he did before today. I'm not sure…
Nah, he'd probably still lick a rock if I asked him to. Just not rocks that came from Admin 5.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
I never did drugs. Thus, I don't know which drug makes people super hyper and twitchy and talkative. Cocaine? I think it’s cocaine.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the rocks in the no-gravity Floor are made of solid cocaine. I mean, they taste like salty burnt plastic, but who knows.
Today was a very interesting day.
I hope I don't get addicted or anything. That might be bad. Altho if they were addictive, I think Admin 5 would have had a lot of problems on her hands, so she probably took that side effect out.
Or all of the after effects. I mean, the crash was real, but I don't feel depressed or a strong desire to try it again. So I guess she removed the after effects.
In any case, the high only lasted like fifteen minutes. Thankfully the Floor after the drug rocks floor only has wooly mammoths on it. They’re aggressive, and have mostly resisted our attempts to befriend them, but today we managed to climb on top of one and… uhh…
Look, at the time, playing strip thumb wars on top of a giant hairy elephant thing made perfect sense. I… I don't know.
Anyways, after crashing for half an hour or so we continued on as normal.
That's the most interesting thing to have happened today.
I didn't keep any of the rocks, so I can't try to put them in any food or ask other people to eat them. But I did write Samurai and Kimi and tell them about it. They’ll probably be very interested in trying the rocks next cycle.
The second most interesting thing to have happened was Admin 5 writing me to ask if I could make more torrone for her. And anything else I happened to want to make. So I asked if she had any suggestions on how to improve the torrone, cuz that was my first time making it without Nat, and also what types of desserts she likes.
She asked if I could make puff pastry, and make like eclairs or macarons or something. Which I probably can, but I haven't yet.
The main problem with macarons is, they’re made with almond flour. They also aren't puff pastries, but I won't mention that to her. I have access to almonds, but not almond flour. So making almond flour will be the first very long step.
Unless she somehow gets almond flour for me.
We’ll have to see if she can tomorrow.
Goodnight, Dungeon!
