Dear Diary,

Yep, the spooky floor is very spooky now.

I went to talk to Emmy but I couldn't find the door to her house. That was weird. So after a couple minutes I gave up.

I left a note saying I have pizza for her on the gate, tho, so she might come over sometime.

Anyways, Avi finished the tuxedo for Lewis! He hasn't worn it yet, but the kobolds are working on that. Lewis said there has to be a super special occasion for him to wear a tuxedo, which I do agree with. No one wears tuxedos in their general, day to day life. Unless they work at a stupidly fancy place and a tuxedo is their uniform.

The kobolds wanted to throw a formal party, but Lewis said that isn't special. It's just a party, and the kobolds have parties all the time.

Although they haven't really had any parties since… I think the symphony was their last party. Unless they've been having secret parties on their floor and not inviting anyone. I don't think that's the case. Nat would have asked me to help with cooking, and Avi is officially a member of their band. We would have heard about it, even if we weren't invited.

In other news, the players should get here tomorrow. That means I'll need to cook actual food, and I won't be able to make any more cookies. I've been cooking for NPCs when they come in, but I can tell them I'm busy baking cookies so I can't make anything in the oven. I can't tell that to players.

I've made something like 300 cookies, that should be enough for the fair next cycle. I can't wait to see what everyone else has made and wants to trade. Especially since there's been plenty of time to prepare and make cool stuff.

Nat has been knitting hats. Not mini hats, people-sized hats. She has a couple different patterns that she's made, and in a couple different colors. Sadly, none of her hats are made to fit around cat ears. She let me try a few, and my ears just move too much. It knocks them off. I asked if she could put holes in the hats, but no. Either it would destabilize them too much, or the hat would hinder my ear movement and hearing.

On the plus side (at least I think it's a plus), we found out that if I lay my ears back as far as I can get them, put a hat on, and then let my ears spring up, it'll yeet the hat across the room! It's very fun. I can't believe I spent so much time with a tiny trebuchet on my head without noticing!

Ear yeeting doesn't work with a lot of things. Whatever it is has to be fairly light, but big enough to span the space between both ears. Hats work, cookies work, pencils only work if you can get them to not roll off, nothing glass works, paper doesn't really work, and cutlery works.

Yes, we tested it.

Y wants to have a spoon yeeting contest. At first he wanted to use knives, but that seemed like a recipe for disaster. It would be fun, but I suspect whoever has the biggest ears would win. Bigger ears means more muscle controlling them, which means the spoon will go farther.

…Is it farther or further?

…Did I label that last batch of cookies? I should check.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
