Dear Diary,

Spending all day as a wolf:

Cons - being a quadruped means your “hands” are constantly touching dirt, which feels wrong.

Pros - everything else.

It’s so much fun!!! I think it wouldn’t be as fun if I were the only one doing it. But being in a party where everyone is a wolf, and everyone is loving it, just makes it that much better.

Oh yeah, this cycle I’m in a party with Avi, Mika and the Sams. It’s the first time Aya hasn’t been with them. They haven’t argued or anything, she just decided to team up with Lily this cycle. Staab is with Kimi and Y.

We decided to all wait for each other between every floor, so we’re basically all together.

Anyways, running around as a pack of wolves is somehow relaxing. It just feels right. I’m sure if we spent a whole cycle as wolves I’d get tired of it, but right now it’s epic.

I think when we go down to Floor 97 for the first time this cycle we’ll go down as wolves. Just to surprise the kobolds. They might be kinda unsure about us if we showed up as cheetahs, and they might totally freak out if we went down as raptors, but the kobolds like wolves. They’ll probably just pet us and give us meatballs.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Which, yes, I am willing to be pampered in wolf form by a bunch of kobolds. That is not a thing I would complain about at all.

The only thing that makes me sad is color. Since we’re all red this cycle, our fur is kinda red. I’m used to us having variety. Sure, it’s probably more aesthetically pleasing that we’re a pack of matching wolves, but I’m used to us being all the colors. It would just be a tiny bit more fun if we were running around as a pack of rainbow wolves.

Besides, it probably helps tell us apart when we’re different colors. I’m sure some of the people we talk to appreciate that.

Oh, I’m not a wolf right now. I took the belt off when we decided to stop for the night. So I’m back to being a half-dragon.

Lily and I went through a bunch of hot chocolate mix and pulled out all the marshmallows, so we had smores tonight! Making s’mores was super fun. Lily had never had them before. Avi and Y had only had them once. I thought smores were a universal thing that every kid has, but apparently not.

Lily said it’s a white people thing. Then Aya said it was more of an American thing, and Staab said it was just a camping thing.

Instead of debating the ethnic origin of smores we agreed to just say they were delicious and eat more of them. That made everyone happy.

Anyways, we have a full day of running around on four paws tomorrow, and I might never feel like my hands are clean again when this is done.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
