Admin 4 glanced over as, next to him, Admin 5 squeaked. She pushed her chair back, fiddling with a screen, and a plate of white puffy things appeared on the desk in front of her. She made a squeal of joy and shoved one into her mouth.

Given her facial expression, it was the most delicious thing to have ever been created.

On her other side, Admin 6 tried to sneakily steal one off the plate. She slapped his hand away with a growl.

“Hey, my player made them,” he complained.

5 swallowed. “So ask her to make you some. These are mine.”

Admin 2 was leaning back in his chair. “Would you mind if I tried one?”

“Sure!” She picked up the plate and held it out to him as 6 complained about her not being fair.

Admin 4 smiled, shaking his head.

5 saw that and glared. “Here,” she said, holding the plate in front of him. “You still don’t understand why I need these, so try one.”

“If you insist,” he sighed, taking one off the plate. He bit into it.

It didn’t have much flavor other than sweetness. The light, fluffy, crunchy thing had a pleasing texture, and the vanilla cream in the center was creamy and vanilla-y. Quite good, but nothing to start a riot over.

“Well?” Admin 5 demanded, a rabid look in her eye.

Admin 4 believed she might strangle him if he answered poorly, so he chose to lie. “This is absolutely the most delicious thing I have ever tasted in my life!”

Dear Diary,

The meringue faux-macarons turned out pretty ok. They aren’t macarons, and never will be, but for something with a grand total of five ingredients I think they turned out quite edible. If overly sweet.

I hope Admin 5 likes stupidly sweet things. I kinda suspect she does.

…I should just make a tub of buttercream frosting and send that to her. If she doesn’t gain weight like we don’t, then I bet she’d love to just sit there doing whatever she’s doing and eat spoonful after spoonful of frosting. If I wanted to be nice I’d make it chocolate buttercream frosting. If I wanted to be mean I’d use the “special” chocolate from her floor.

Or powder up one of the cocaine rocks and add that in.

I mean, if she drugs players for her entertainment, it’s only fair for a player to drug her on occasion for their entertainment. Right?

Somehow I don’t think Avi will agree.

Ohhhh I know. I should powder up a whole cocaine rock, bake that into a cake, and send it to the Director. That would for 100% absolute sure get a reaction if she tries it. If there’s no reaction, then I’ll know she never ate the food I made for her.

Yeah. Ok. I think I’m gonna do that.

I’ll have to test it first, though. Do a small sample just to make sure the effect carries over when it’s in something baked.

I mean, that won’t be a problem. I’ll just make cupcakes and give them to Kimi. That’s absolutely the sort of thing she wouldn’t mind testing.

Wait, no, drugging the Director on purpose might get me in trouble.

But on the other hand, I really do doubt she’s eaten anything I gave her.

On the other other hand, maybe since I haven’t sent her anything in a while, she’ll decide to try this just due to novelty or something.

On the fourth hand, it would be really funny.

Yeah, I think I’m gonna do it. I can always pretend like I have no idea what she’s talking about. I’m pretty good at not knowing what people are talking about.

Besides, odds are she won’t even try it.

Yeah.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
