Dear Diary,

When we get down to our floor, we’re going to steal a bunch of mattresses, duplicate them, and see what it’s like to sleep on top of a hundred mattresses.

Well, borrow, not steal. We’ll make sure all the cabin beds have mattresses when we’re done.

I don’t have peas, so we’re going to stick a marble down at the bottom. Then we’ll see if any of us are truly princesses.

Or something. First we’ll have to see if we can actually climb up a tower of a hundred mattresses without it falling over.

We spent like an hour after dinner trying to figure out how to stack them in the first place. Kimi and Mika did maths to figure out exactly how a mattress would come out of an inventory, while Samurai and I tried pulling stuff out of the family inventory at exactly the same time.

Tonight was fun.

We stopped on Floor 28 for lunch today. That’s the catgirl floor. We only had burgers and soda, something fast and easy. The guys still hadn’t shown up by the time we were done. Right now we’re between floors 35 and 36. Kimi messaged Y, and apparently they’re only on Floor 31. So we’re pretty far ahead of them.

Mika thinks we should be further ahead of the guys, but I think it’s fine. Just because the NPCs are getting stronger doesn’t mean teleporting past them will get harder. That’s the whole point of teleportation. Besides, we’re all strong enough to take any enemy down to like Floor 75.

In other news, Lily has been quieter lately. She never really joked around a lot, and tried to be the most “mature” out of us, but now she really isn’t joking around. Not that she’s mad or anything, she just doesn’t want to talk.

I feel sorry for her. But there isn’t much I can do. She has to fix things on her own.

I kinda wonder how Staab is doing. I feel like I haven’t talked to him in forever. Well, I haven’t talked to him in forever. At least like three cycles. Not because of anything specific, we just… haven’t talked.

…

Our… I think our group has gotten too big. When it was just the six of us, or just the five of us, we all had to talk. We knew each other super well. Then Staab came along, then Y and Via, and now the Sams… We don’t all fit at a single diner table any more. Even if we wanted to stay together, we have to be in two parties. Before, we were all equally good friends. But now there are groups within the group. I kinda miss how it was, but I don’t want to go back. Going back would mean losing Avi and Y, and I don’t want that. Even the Sams, now that they aren’t glued together, are pretty fun to hang out with.

A part of me feels like the group getting bigger is a bad thing, but I know it’s for the best. Besides, it’s not like I’m mad about having more friends. More friends is always a good thing.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
