Dear Diary,

Last night Kimi wrote the Admin asking if she’d stay with Y, and he said all couples are staying together.

So we know for sure we’ll be together now! Yay! She’s a whoooole lot better than she was yesterday. I’m kinda better, too. I mean, I wasn’t nearly as worried as her, but I was still a little tiny bit worried. And now I don’t have to be!

Oh, Samuel asked everyone what animals they were putting on the list of things to give bad luck to. He said everyone has cockroaches on their lists, but other than that they’re pretty unique. How they decided was different, too.

I wouldn’t have been able to choose six animals to give bad luck to. I guess I agree cockroaches are terrible and should get bad luck, so them and slimes would be my entire list. I’d let other people decide the other four. Or maybe if there was a tie, I could decide the tie.

Unless the tie was between two cute, fluffy things. Like, if someone didn’t like bats and said bats should get bad luck, and someone else said… I don’t know, axolotls or whatever. Something with a small native area, so if they go extinct it won’t have a major ecological impact. Bats and axolotls are both very cute! I don’t know which I would choose!

Actually, I’d choose axolotls, since bats eat mosquitoes, and we need to make sure mosquito populations stay down. So bats stay.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

…Unless mosquitoes are also on the list. So their populations would already be lower, and bats wouldn’t be as important.

This is way too complicated.

Aaanyways, I keep wobbling on if I should make some kind of dessert for the last cycle. I mean, it’s too late to give everyone in the dungeon a goodbye cake, since we’re halfway through already. So that solves that problem. But something for all the players might be doable. Or at least for the players who are my friends. Which would mostly be my group and Admin 4’s group. Admin 4’s group is where Fire and Steel are, and Octavius and Frog’s group. Hash is at the very least a friendly acquaintance, so I feel like I should give her something, but I don’t really know anyone else in her group. Oh, and Bacon should get something.

I just realized, I don’t think I can name anyone from groups 1 or 3. I know who they are, I know what they look like. And I have all their names on the last page here. But I can’t put faces to the names.

Maybe if we’d had another thirty cycles, I would have become super good friends with someone in those groups. But we don’t. Oh well.

At least we’re not enemies. No one in the dungeon dislikes me, which is good enough. I don’t even think Lily really dislikes me, not personally at least. We’re just… people in the same group.

If we had another thirty cycles, I might have tried being friends with her again. But we don’t.

So instead, I’ll just wait to see what type of party the Sams decide to throw, and go from there.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
