Dear Diary,

Yep, the kobolds know how to party. Today was epic. They dressed up the wolves in suits and bow ties, which was just the most adorable thing ever, and we had a formal party. Whiiiiich turned informal at like three in the afternoon, when the guy who’s really good at drumming took over the band.

Oh, Lewis also had a bow tie and top hat on. The kobolds made him a legit, dragon-sized black top hat, and he looked very dashing. I thought he needed a monocle, but he said that if he wore a monocle then someone else would insist on a mustache, and then where would it end? I get his point.

I still wanted him to wear a monocle tho.

Staab and Lilly being elves got some attention, but not much. Y being a catboi got a lot more attention, and everyone said Kimi should have become a kobold instead. They both were very against that idea. The triplets got some attention, but more because they couldn’t communicate as ants, and everyone wanted to know what being a hive mind was like.

I’ll admit, I like them better than I did before. I didn’t really talk to them, and they didn’t talk to anyone but Aya. But with a bunch of kobolds around, asking all kinds of random questions, yeah I just needed to get to know them. And they did go from being in control of a bunch of separate entities to being their own individual person, which must have screwed with their brains. No wonder they’re kinda weird. But they’re less weird than they were at the beginning of the cycle. Like they’ve figured things out a little. People are always less weird when they aren’t going through some kind of existential crisis.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

So yeah, today was fun. Tomorrow we’re just gonna hang out and do our own things, but the day after tomorrow…

We’re going to take a vote on if we should push the button or not. If we do, then we all have to do it. That’s 22 button pushes taken away from “real” players.

We still don’t know what the point of all this is. It must be pretty important, or the players would get bored and not bother fighting all the time. And we used to be monsters and NPC’s, so we know we could survive like that again. But then, we don’t know if the players that got… erased? …turned into NPC’s or if they just don’t exist any more. So we don’t know what will happen if we don’t push the button. But then, we don’t know what will happen if we do.

It’s something to think about, for sure.

I guess… I guess we could ask the Admin about it? Maybe? But I don’t want to be the one to write that letter. I think there’s still an NPC part of me that’s just really afraid to ask what all this is about, or how we got here. Maybe Lilly or Aya would be more comfortable asking, but I don’t want to.

I’ll bring it up day after tomorrow.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
