Dear Diary,

New cycle! I remembered to make a shared Family Inventory with everyone in it. As soon as we get to a floor I can cook on, I’ll make a bunch of meatballs and ranch balls and put them in there for everyone to use. Lily’s phone book is in there, too, so we can message basically anyone in the dungeon! I’ve already messaged Nat and Gin, and they promise to give me all the gossip.

Oh, the kobolds are going to have another cooking competition this cycle! It’ll be the day after we get back to our floor, so I can enter! They haven’t decided what the theme is going to be yet.

Avi and Mika are in a group chat thing with their band. Apparently they’re trying to make a whole symphony. Everyone has a part to write, and they’ll tie it together somehow. Avi spent like an hour explaining it to me, and I didn’t understand half the words, but he’s super excited about it. It was cute. The only part I really get is that there aren’t going to be any words or dancing or anything to go with it. It’ll just be pure music.

Oh, this cycle we’re all elves. There are three subraces for elves: high, wood, and dark. They all come with their own special spells, and the race itself gives a buff to magic. I actually really like it. My favorite race is neko, because honestly nothing beats being a catgirl, but elf might be a close second. I went with wood elf, so I got a couple plant and animal spells.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Y, Kimi, Samuel and Samurai are dark elves. Aya, Lily and Mika are high elves. Avi, Staab and Samantha are wood elves. We decided subrace didn’t matter in the “try every race” thing, since there isn’t a huge difference between them.

Lily wanted to make a party with all the girls, but Kimi and I were against it. Then she wanted to separate us based on subrace. Samantha agreed to that way too fast, and Lily realized it’d be a bad idea. At that point Ox and Larissa came over, and asked if Mika and I wanted to join them. Staab volunteered to go with them instead.

So the parties ended up being me and Avi with Kimi and Y, Aya and Mika with the Sams, Staab with Ox’s party, and Lily all by herself. Lily… is not going to have a fun cycle.

Hopefully it makes her rethink some things, and she figures out life isn’t a competition.

Meanwhile, I get to be in a party that doesn’t focus on killing things! We can teleport over boring floors! I can help kidnap velociraptors! Cooking will happen! Avi will be with me!

Oh yeah! Avi changed his height to be like an inch taller than me. So he’s not as tall as the potion made him, but not as short as he is as Via. I don’t know why that’s important to me.

It really shouldn’t be.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
