Dear Diary,

Well, we didn’t get a spider pet. Apparently we taste better than anything else I tried to give them. Can’t blame them, Avi does taste pretty goo-

But! I had plenty of meatballs, and we were able to befriend one of the wolves! Only one of them, though. The rest stayed suspicious.

So we have a wolf friend with us now! Her name is Ruby, cuz she has glowing red eyes. All the wolves on that floor have glowing red eyes. I don’t know why, probably just to look scarier or something. It’s a dark-ish floor, and seeing glowing red eyes glaring out at you from shadows is very creepy.

When Samantha saw Ruby she was alarmed for a few seconds, then just laughed. She didn’t say anything about it. Mika saw Ruby and very clearly wanted to say something, but didn’t. She has Very Specifically Not said anything about it all day.

Avi and I think it’s hilarious. Kimi and Y think it’s hilarious, too, and have been showering love on Ruby. They never really interacted much with our pets before, but if they keep this up, by the time we get home Ruby will be more their pet than ours.

I’d be fine with that.

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

People still act weird around us. Y decided we should teleport over all the floors, since obviously we aren’t wanted. We talked to everyone else, and they agreed. We’ll just get home as fast as possible and figure it out from there.

The only problem is, me and Y are the only teleporters. So Ty and the other group will still be going almost the same speed. Well, Ty has his lightning teleport spell, but he says it can only go a quarter of the way across a floor. It’s not nearly as good as my teleport, plus it can’t do groups.

So yeah, we’ll probably get home a day or two before everyone else. Kimi and Mika want to set up prank traps everywhere. I’m debating joining them. Avi doesn’t like pranks, and wants us to stay out of it. I know it’s just silly fun, but then the last time he asked me to not do something… Yeah, that’s a whole thing we still don’t talk about.

Not that I’m never going to do anything he tells me not to, but this is just a silly thing. I don’t feel strongly about it. But he kinda does. He… has a good reason to not like pranks.

Obviously these won’t be the same kind of prank a school bully would pull, but they’re still pranks.

One of the things Kimi wanted to do was fill Lily’s shop with balloons. I might help with that, just because it’s very clearly not harmful, and it won’t destroy anything. Mika has bigger, more elaborate prank ideas that would not be OSHA-approved.

Samantha asked about the pranking capabilities of potions and the misting thing. Kimi and Y are currently writing out all the ways they need to test the misting device before we get home.

Maybe I should just make a “we’re sorry for pranking everyone” cake. I haven’t made a big cake in a while…

Yeah, that’d give me something to do.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
