Dear Diary,

The yetis came by today. They tried telling us we weren’t really players and should stop pretending. We were mostly like “well you should mind your own business”. Except Lily, who charmed them into thinking they were sentient rocks.

…They’re still sitting in the plaza, not moving because rocks aren’t supposed to move.

Kimi is suddenly very interested in charm magic, but Y (and everyone else) is worried what she’d do with it. Her imagination is too dangerous. If she got her hands on charm magic, I’d give it a week before she controlled everyone in the whole dungeon.

Having charm magic sounds fun, but I think I’ll stick to green. And silver sometimes. I think it’s better to be really, really good at one or two things than to just be ok at all of them. And with magic, something that helps save our lives, it’s important to be really really good at it.

Oh, I talked to Via about stealing wolves and velociraptors, and she thinks it’s a great idea! She says we should try to make friends with both creatures, in case one of them doesn’t like us. Which makes sense. But I’m surprised she suggested it, and didn’t suggest we make the giant spiny thing on Floor 17 our pet if the velociraptors didn’t work out.

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.

But I’m sure we can get the wolves and raptors to be our friends. I’ve managed to make friends with the dracoraptors and dire wolves, and these are just smaller versions of those! Should be easy.

Next cycle is gonna be fun.

Nat and Gin finished the cookbook! It’s a great book. Nat wrote about how to make pasta, and one of the kobolds drew diagrams of the pasta maker so any blacksmith could make it. Which I wouldn’t have thought to do. Gin wrote about the importance of timing, and how ten minutes can make all the difference in the life of a Cheeto. Or, cheesy puff. Not-Cheeto. It’s interesting, and has given me a couple ideas on things to try.

I kinda want to have Y add in his observations on salad dressing and its effects on slimes as a… epilogue? Second part? I don’t know. But I feel like other people would be interested in it. And Mar made sure there was a section on meatballs and what creatures around here prefer what foods. Apparently she’s been going up and feeding the sharks every day. She says they prefer uncooked things, and fish if possible. She also said they like carrots, which I wouldn’t have guessed. Why would a shark like carrots? Maybe the crunch? I feel like if I weren’t a player I’d like to spend time figuring out what sharks like about carrots.

There are a couple floors with carrots. Sharks. There are a couple floors with sharks. Well, there might be carrots growing somewhere on some floor, but I wouldn’t know about it.

Anyways, I should see if the sharks on other floors like carrots, too. If they do, great! If not, at least we’ll have tried.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
