Dear Diary,

Welllll, Kimi has talked me out of drugging another cake and sending it to the Director. She pointed out that I was very specifically told not to. Which is a good point.

Plus Avi would be worried, and I don’t want to worry him.

So now I just have a pile of chocolate and rocks in my inventory. Whatever shall I do with them…

Ok, I know what I’m gonna do with them. I’m gonna give them to Athena, the spy catgirl on Floor 60. I don’t know what she wants them for, but she asked a bunch of people if we could collect chocolate for her, and I offered her the rocks, too. She reacted like I’d just offered her a million dollars.

Sure, they’re interesting, but not all that exciting.

Oh yeah, so, three catgirl floors are still catgirls. The other three are elves, hobgoblins, and fairies. Which lines up with what NPCs are now. Some are neko, and it’s kinda super weird having to fight a neko.

Lewis is back to being a dragon, but a mini-sized version of what he was before. Now he’s only horse-sized, instead of house-sized. The kobolds are all kobolds, but they say they were asked if they wanted to switch to neko.

The fact that no one wanted to change is… a tiny bit insulting? I don’t know why I feel slightly miffed that not one kobold wanted to become a catgirl, but I do.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Peer pressure probably played a part. …Perhaps. A person pointedly preferring a purring persona would possibly put them in a prejudicial predicament when in public.

…Ok, that took way too much thinking.

Anyways, so yeah, the kobolds are all still kobolds. Oh! Jenny is still a dragon, too! She said she got a choice between dragon, neko and kobold. I don’t mind with her, since we didn’t, y’no, live with her for a while. She doesn’t know all the joys of being a catgirl.

No, it’s more that there are two hundred kobolds. Like, Jenny is one person. And Lewis is one person. But out of two hundred people, everyone thought being a kobold was better?

It’s weird, or at least illogical, cuz this whole time I’ve been thinking of the kobolds as having a town near our neko town, and we’d be friends. I never thought about them changing. But now that I know they got the option to change, no one did?

Kimi said she’s glad, cuz it means no one has trauma like Y has. Which I kinda… can’t argue with. But I also can’t talk to her about it again.

Avi says he gets where I’m coming from, but that the draw of staying what they’ve been for years and years is probably strong. Which I get.

But still. Two hundred people, and no one wanted to be a neko.

…Thank you, diary, for listening to my annoyed ranting when no one else will. If you were alive, I know you’d understand.

But you aren’t, so, whatever.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
