Dear Diary,

It’s been three days. We got to Floor 10, had lunch, then everyone took off running. So I ran through the floors, too.

I picked up a couple of rocks on my way through Floor 12. I haven’t done anything with them yet, though. They’re just hanging out in my inventory.

I asked Hash if there are any other drugs, and she asked Admin 5. Admin 5 replied “not any more”, which… is funny. I like the thought that she got rid of some drugs when she realized people might use them against her.

It feels fitting, somehow.

Anyways, tomorrow afternoon I should be on Floor 30, so I’ll bake a “we’re sorry” cake and send it off to the Director.

I’ll make it the same type of overly-flavorful chocolate orange cake as last time, since it seems to have covered the burnt plastic taste of the rocks pretty good.

Or at least, I assume it did. No one mentioned the flavor of the cake. But, admittedly, the flavor wasn’t exactly the most interesting thing about that cake.

But if it was bad, Admin 5 might have mentioned it when she asked me for a tub of frosting.

…Did I ever mention the tub of frosting?

…Looks like I didn’t. Ok, so, about eight hours after I sent the Director the cake, Admin 5 messaged me in all-caps asking for frosting. When I asked what flavor she said “as much as possible”, so I just made her a tub of vanilla buttercream.

Honestly, that should have clued me in that something wasn’t right with them.

I haven’t told Avi about my plan to drug another cake, because I know he’d be super worried about it. I’m not particularly worried. Well, I’m not as worried as I should be.

I mean, I’m not generally a rule breaker. I like when everyone is happy and everyone is safe and no one is in trouble. But I feel like the Director is kinda a cheater. If the Director wanted to give random people drugs, I have no doubt she’d go ahead and do it. If she’d do it, why shouldn’t I?

I might ask Kimi to send off the cake. As a kind of compromise. Like, just so it isn’t me alone doing drugging her. Kimi would back me up, I’m sure.

After all, what are sisters for if not to help drug authorities?

Y isn’t around, so she’s a little… bored. She has so many great ideas for chaos, but no one to be chaotic with. I don’t understand her ideas a lot of times, even if I’m totally ready to help in any way she wants me to.

So me asking her to deliver a cake should be right up her alley.

I’ll tell Avi about it when the cycle resets and we’re back on Floor 1 together. By then, if anything was gonna happen, it would have happened.

Yeah, that sounds good.

Goodnight, Dungeon!

Hello!

I hear you’ve met the Director, right? Would you be willing to describe her to me? In as much detail as possible. It would help me out so much.

Thanks <3
