Dear Diary,

Since we’re not in groups that truly understand us this cycle, Kimi decided to not be my test subject for cupcakes laced with Admin 5’s rocks. I kinda don’t want to try it by myself, either. And I’m not gonna go up to some random person and ask them to eat a drugged cupcake. So I have no idea what it’ll do when the Director eats the cake that is currently baking.

I powdered the rocks, which was pretty easy. They kinda feel like chalk; light and crumbly.

The catgirl asked to keep the powder I didn’t use. I don’t have any reason to save it, so I gave it to her.

And oh yeah! No one saw me stuff rocks into my pockets! So that’s good.

I guess I should say we’re on Floor 20 now. We got here a liiittle late, so no one wanted to continue on. We had dinner, then everyone else went to the inn while I asked to cook.

I should have gone to bed, too, but I really really want to know if the Director will notice I laced a cake with drugs. That’s just something I need to learn.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

A part of me still thinks it’s a super bad idea. And I can’t argue with that. But, well, curiosity killed the cat… And at heart I am a catgirl…

Dying in the pursuit of knowledge is something I’m ok with.

And hey, I might not die! She might not even notice! Maybe baking the cake will change the chemicals so they’re not drugs any more! Then it’d just be a kinda bad-tasting cake.

Actually, that would be horrible. If she eats it and the only difference between this cake and the last I sent was that this one tastes weird. Then she might think I’m a bad cook! I don’t want her to think that!

Ok, I need to think of if there’s a way to hide the chemical flavor. If I make… The problem is, it’s literally baked in. So if I make a super flavorful frosting, it won’t hide it. If I burn the cake, that’d hide it, but then I’d have a dry, burnt cake. No one wants a burnt cake.

Maybe if I infuse- WAIT! I know what to do! I’ll make it in the style of tres leches cake, where it’s sitting in a tub of… What is that stuff, condensed milk mixed with heavy cream? Probably not, but that does sound delicious.

Ok. If I take the chocolate cake. Put it in a tray with chocolate syrup mixed with heavy cream. Then make a dark chocolate orange frosting to go on the top. And cut the very top off, then put a wash of orange essence over it before putting on the frosting.

That should be enough flavor to overpower anything.

Which means I need to find a good tray and make orange essence.

A chef’s job is never done.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
