Dear Diary,

Being an elf is fun. Elves have buffs to magic, so I can teleport all the way across most floors.

We still walk through some, because we have friends. And the velociraptors still aren’t completely used to it. They’ll be doing their usual raptor things, sniffing around, kicking foliage to see if it attacks, and suddenly poof they’re in a different spot! They don’t freak out or anything, but I can’t blame them for being just a little disoriented sometimes.

Next cycle we’re going to be fairies, and Samuel wants to try a speedrun race. Samantha wants to try going solo, so that’ll leave us with six girls and four guys. Samuel said we should do a guys vs girls run. Y pointed out that this would put the two strongest fighters and the strongest teleporter on the girls team, meaning he’d be on the losing team.

I think Aya is going to be a guy next cycle, so at least that team will have the strongest fighter. Y still isn’t happy, and says we shouldn’t allow teleporting.

I think we should. And not just because I’m the strongest teleporter. If the point of a speedrun is to go fast, well, you can’t get faster than teleportation.

Oh! Painbringer the Gold, also known as Jenny, says she’s teaching the wyverns a choreograph dance. She took a song, and is trying to get them to go from one place to another in time to it. It’s going ok, but she only has four steps trained so far. She says she tried before, but couldn’t get the wyverns to go through more than three steps. But she didn’t have treats then. Treats make a huge difference when you’re trying to train pets.

Jenny didn’t let us see the steps, saying she wanted it to be a surprise next cycle or whenever she gets done training them.

Avi wants to train the dracoraptors to dance. Given how long it took him to get them used to a saddle, I think training them to dance will take literally forever. And they still aren’t used to a rider. Half the time they just fold to the ground and growl menacingly when Avi gets on.

I’ve never tried riding the dracoraptors. It’s not that I’m scared of them, but… Actually, yeah, I am kinda scared of them. They’re big, they’re unpredictable, and they have super sharp teeth and claws.

Avi’s been bitten by them so many times he has scars. Usually dying or getting hurt doesn’t leave any mark when we respawn, but there is a limit. I’ve got… they’re kinda tear marks? Up by my shoulders. Between mimics, bats, pterodactyls and that giant worm thing, my arms have come off way more times than I’d like to remember. But with a t-shirt no one can see them.

And yes, having your arm torn off is painful. Thankfully my pain resistance is level 47, so things are only about half as painful as they should be!

I’ve got other scars, too, but they aren’t as prominent as the shoulder ones. Except maybe the ones on my fingers, where I cut myself cooking. But hey, not having any scars at all would be weird. Everyone has scars.

Getting scars is just a part of being a person.

Overall I think I like my scars.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
