Dear Diary,

New cycle! I’m back to green! I missed being green. Silver is nice, but it’s just kinda… grey. Green is way more noticeable. And all my spells are at stupid high levels with green, which is a plus.

I didn’t have time to write after the players came, sorry. None of them recognized us as players, but a few mentioned our hair colors got changed around. Oh, and the yetis stayed until the very end, still thinking they were rocks. The players left them alone, didn’t attack them, so I guess there weren’t any yetis on Floor 99. Must have made it easy to get through. Although I do wonder if Lilly broke the yetis and they permanently think they’re rocks now. I guess we’ll find out in a couple days.

The marble races! My team won gold in the championship!!! Paola won silver, and Mika won bronze. The last race was super exciting. Y’s marble was in the lead for like the first two thirds of the race, with Mimi and Aya’s marble pretty close behind, then Lily’s marble shot out from nowhere and passed everyone, and Mimi was about to be out of the race, then Aya and Y’s marbles knocked into each other on a corner, and both fell behind!

It was epic. Marble races are usually pretty exciting, but this one was one for the history books.

Anyways, this cycle it’s just me and Via, trying to get through the floors without killing anything. We’ve managed it so far. We’ve given away a lot of sushi and ice cream. As soon as we get to the first catgirl floor I’m gonna spend half a day cooking, so we’ll have actual food to give people. We spent half a day on Floor 7, getting the wolves to like us. They were super suspicious at first, but by the time we left they let us pet them.

Floor 8 is a “boss” floor, full of goblins. We’re staying here tonight, and I gave them all pizza. The goblins aren’t as party-obsessed as the kobolds are, so there wasn’t a full pizza party, but they had more of a soirée. They don’t have string instruments, only drums, but eight drums makes a good band. And Via knows how to play drums, so she played a couple of her songs. It was a fun night.

Oh, since we’re going to take our time going through the floors, we told the other girls to wait for us on Floor 60 instead of every catgirl floor. They’ll probably be there a couple days. Jenny the dragon will like that, and Gigi will be able to talk to them a little more. I got the feeling she wanted to say something to us, about her time as Dorothy, but was afraid to. If she has a couple days with the group, I’m sure she’ll lose her shyness. Or maybe Lily will talk to her. Either way, talking will happen. And it’ll be therapeutic.

Therapeutic things are good.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
