Dear Diary,

Yep, it's turning out to be a nice, relaxing cycle. Not much is going on, other than cookie baking. I don't have much to say, but I haven't written in a while and feel like I should put something in here.

Plus Avi is off measuring Bonecrusher the Black for a tuxedo, and Lewis specifically requested no one else be around for this humiliation. I don't know if the kobolds will ever convince him to wear the tuxedo, but doing that will be a lot easier once a dragon-sized tuxedo exists.

Oh, they saw Avi adjusting tuxedos to fit dracoraptors. We never managed to get the raptors to wear a tuxedo. Kinda. They 100% absolutely did not let us put them on while they were awake. So we cast sleep on them, and put the tuxedos on while they were unconscious. I left food around them, hoping it would distract them when they woke up.

It didn’t.

Well, the cheese distracted Charlie for about half a minute. But that’s just Charlie.

The rest of them acted like the tuxedos were some kind of evil creature holding them captive, and ripped the cloth to shreds within seconds.

We gave up after the third try. It was totally worth it, though.

Meanwhile, Emmy is making her floor progressively creepier. At the beginning of the cycle the park was barely creepy. There was a little fog, but the lighting was regular day/night, and other than coloring all the rides black and putting spiders in the hedge maze she didn't change much. And then she added more fog, and more, and made twilight and dawn stretch out longer. Now she's made the hedge leaves black, and the grass around it is slowly going black, too. By the time the cycle ends the lighting will be permanent twilight, everything will be black, and the fog will be super thick.

Which I think is a cool idea. At first everyone thought her version of "spooky" was kinda lame, but by now we've figured it out and yeah, it's good. Plus it gave people who hate spooky things a couple days to hang out when it was only a tiny bit spooky.

Emmy's doing a really good job of being in charge of the floor. I'm glad she got the job. And I'm glad we were friends before, so I can be proud of her.

Mika thinks the Admin put her in charge cuz she spent some time as a catgirl. That would kinda make sense. I mean, she already knew what it was like to be a catgirl, so she wouldn't have to spend time figuring things out. The changes would be familiar.

I wonder if she got the "don't leave your shop" feelings we all got at the beginning. When she was in Mika’s shop, I mean. She didn't mention any, but then we also all got a "don't talk about it" feeling. If she got one, she probably got the other.

I wonder if there are any "don't do this" feelings she gets now. What would they even be? I mean, she doesn't interact with players, and that's what most of my weird feelings relate to…

Maybe I should take her a pizza and ask. That would be fun. I haven't really talked to her in a while.

Oh, Avi just got back.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
