Dear Diary,
Ok, so, I got more rocks from Floor 12. The no gravity floor. Avi agreed to see what happens if we mix it with the chocolate. I am a very normal level of excited about that. And I didn’t even have to convince him all that much, he agreed super easy!
That’ll be fun.
What won’t be fun is, the Director said she’s going to remove all weapons from the dungeon next cycle. I don’t know why. Maybe she’s just gone super crazy. But maybe she wants to test how we do when we only have access to magic or something. I assume there’s a good reason. Or at least, what she thinks is a good reason.
Whatever her reason is, I assume she thinks it’s good. Don’t know why she’d do something she thinks is a bad idea. Generally, doing things that are bad ideas is bad.
I know Avi could get through the dungeon without a weapon. I probably could, but not having a bonk stick might make things difficult. I would argue that I use it more for defense than for attacking, but I’m not sure if that’d work. Maybe if official staffs are banned, I can get a random stick from somewhere. Or get a normal, everyday, non-attacking rod from a blacksmith.
Either way, I’ll probably survive.
And if I don’t survive, I’ll just respawn a few floors up. No worries.
Oh, the speedrun is going well. We’re between Floors 26 and 27. So over ten floors a day. And yeah, we’re way ahead of all the people going normal speeds.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Kimi and Y are ahead of us by a floor, and the Sams said they were gonna push through to Floor 30. Everyone else is behind.
The Sams will probably get there super late tonight, meaning they might still be asleep tomorrow morning when we get there. That’s happened before. Not with them, but with other people who pushed themselves.
We’ve been pushing ourselves pretty hard, but not to an extreme degree. Teleportation makes things pretty easy. And we can get through a lot of floors by asking nicely.
A very tiny part of me was like, “why didn’t we speed through all the other cycles like this”, but it really is tiring. And we don’t get to talk to anyone! We can’t spend time with animals or anything! I don’t want to do that.
Oh yeah, animals! So, the gingerbread people, the people who used to be gingerbread, are orcs now. We took Lex and Tim down to them, and the poor velociraptors were scared half to death! It took a long time to get them to recognize everyone.
At first we were afraid they wouldn’t ever recognize them. I mean, the only way I could tell who was who at first was because they said their names. Lex and Tim don’t understand names, so they just thought these people were whole new people, and very scary.
Thankfully treats helped with that. Treats help with a lot of things. By the time we left, they’d figured it out enough we weren’t worried about them freaking out or anything.
Anyways, I should get some sleep.
Goodnight, Dungeon!

Hello,
After reading through your messages, I have decided to not remove all weapons next cycle. Everything will continue as normal.
