Dear Diary,

We’re going down the dungeon way too fast for everyone who lives here. Basically every floor we pass through we scare someone half to death. Or, straight to death sometimes. But yeah, they very much aren’t expecting us.

And we aren’t even halfway down yet.

Kimi remembered pets were a thing, so we all got pets! I’m not specifically the green one any more, so I could get anything I wanted! The Admin added spiders this cycle, so I now have an adorable fist-sized spooder named Professor Plum. With him around, my feet stick to anything I want them to, so I can walk up walls and stuff! It’s fun.

Via got her owl again, and says it’s the same owl. I don’t know how she can tell, or if all the pets are just one creature, copy/pasted into being as many as are needed. Kimi got a monkey, Mika got a dog, and Y got one of the flying whales. He says it amuses him. I still don’t know why it’s a thing.

Oh, Lilly and Aya didn’t get pets. Staab got a dog. The people who aren’t ants… I need a better way to refer to them… the triplets? I know two of them are twins and one is older, but meh. Triplets is fine for reference in a diary they’ll never see.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Anyways, the oldest triplet got a cat, but the other two didn’t get anything.

I’m still kinda mad at them for taking Aya. I mean, she seems happy with them, and she could switch back to being with us if she wanted to. So it isn’t all bad that she’s staying with them. If she’s having fun, good. But I still feel like we should stay a group. We’ve always been a group, we’ve always been here for each other, and I don’t want that to change.

Oh, I don’t think I’ve talked about food yet! I didn’t get anything new in my inventory, which is very sad. Buuuut, the catgirls who cook all have their own recipes, and the one on Floor 28 had a cookbook! That’s right, a full cookbook! She has all the same things I do, so a lot of the recipes in there I know already, but she has a couple things I never thought of. Like, she has a whole section on burritos and quesadillas. I can’t wait to get home and try them.

I promised her I’d try to get her a recipe book with all my pasta recipes that Nat and I made. So I think I’m going to ask Nat and Gin to write a full recipe book when the cycle resets, before I get down there again.

I presume we’ll be sent back to Floor 1 when the cycle resets. I mean, we’re players now, and that’s what happens to players. Unless the Admin changes things and makes us NPC’s again. Which… I don’t know, I don’t want him to do that yet. Maybe later, but not just yet.

This is still too exciting.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
