Dear Diary,

Two more people showed up today, so the cycle will probably reset before breakfast tomorrow.

One was a lady from Admin 3. It kinda looks like she put all her stats into strength, and could beat a herd of elephants at tug-of-war. I'm pretty sure she's usually an orc or something, since seeing her as a super buff catgirl was just kinda… not right. Like something was off in the universe.

She came by to see how many people pushed the button ahead of her. She did not accept a cake.

The second person to get here was Steel, Fire's partner. I'm not quite sure what kind of partner. He's a cool guy; kinda introverted but he had dinner with us. I think he was surprised that Fire befriended us. Or, that we weren't creeped out by Fire.

And then he spent an hour with us and realized we're all insane. Just in slightly different ways.

Oh, Fire thinks Kimi is my sister. She said it explains everything. Which, great, but we're not related.

Kimi has totally accepted the idea and keeps calling me "baby sis". I… don't mind the "sis" part but the "baby" I could do without.

I don't remember if I had a sister. At this point I barely remember my parents. I guess if Kimi wants me to be her sister I wouldn't mind.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

Oh! I tried boiling potatoes in ketchup today. Since french fries and ketchup give a buff, I wanted to know if the same ingredients would become magical.

They didn't. And it made the kitchen smell weird.

So then I boiled pancake batter in chocolate syrup. That also didn't do anything magical but it got rid of the ketchup smell.

I was trying to do something similar to beignets. And failed miserably. Turns out, there's a massive difference between frying something in a pot of oil and boiling it in a pot of fairly viscous liquid! Who knew!

Consistency aside, it still tasted good. I mean, pancake batter. Boiled in chocolate. Can't really go bad with that. Unless you burn the syrup, which I made sure didn't happen.

I feel the need to say: it was chocolate syrup from the shop, the stuff I make milkshakes out of. Not chocolate from the poison hot chocolate lake.

Although…

No, terrible idea. I shouldn't try boiling batter in the chocolate from the lake to see if the poison transfers over.

Unless Avi wants to try it. That could be fun.

I wonder who all in our group knows about the poison effect. Kimi and Y do, since they tried the pudding. There's a 50/50 chance the Sams tried it just to see what the poison did. I don't think Mika, Lily or Staab would have tried it. They don't drink poison.

When they get here I'll have to ask Samurai if she's tried the chocolate. In a casual way. Just to see if they know.

They should get here tomorrow. Until then…

Goodnight, Dungeon!
