Dear Diary,

We’re back! Woo! And my inventory is intact, so you’re still here, diary dearest.

Unlike my old diary back home, which was GONE! Someone took it! I’m super mad about that, and will never ever get over the loss.

Anyways, we’re elves this cycle! Elf hair is usually “normal” hair color, with undertones of your magic color. Like highlights. But I told the System that my hair color is dark green, so my hair as an elf is just… green with more green.

Avi told the System his hair is white. So he’s kinda got platinum hair. I don’t like white hair. Unless it’s on old people. I like Avi, but I don’t have to like white hair. I kinda wish he’d turn it black.

And yes he knows my opinion on his hair. He says he thinks it’s elegant and respectable. So whatever.

Iiiin other news, this cycle we’re allowed to make parties of any number we want, as long as it has people from two groups in it. So Avi and I are in a party with Kimi, Y, Fire, and Steel. Six is a good number for a party.

Aya and the Sams have joined Frog’s team. That makes seven of us from Admin 6’s group teaming up with six from Admin 4’s group. I feel like we should go over and meet the other four people in their group, and all become friends. Everyone being friends would be good.

Mika is with Bacon again, just the two of them. I don’t know how, but Bacon got her hair to look like, well, bacon. It’s long and wavy, and is a dark reddish-brown with blonde stripes. I’m impressed, but mostly wonder how long it took her to get it to look like that. …I bet she can tell Mika the secret to getting rainbow hair.

That leaves Staab and Lily, who are with Hash and 9. I guess they get along pretty well. I wouldn’t know, because I haven’t spoken to Lily in like a cycle and a half.

So yeah, that’s where everyone is.

Last cycle everyone was in parties of five, as humans. We were back home, but there was a… scoreboard type thing in Avi’s inn. It showed where all the parties were. I checked every day. I didn’t want it to be a surprise when we were brought back.

I know Larissa, Ox and Tig were part of the group that replaced us, but I don’t know who the other seven were. I didn’t ever really get to know the rest of the players, so I didn’t notice anyone else missing.

Oh! Floor 1 was super different. There’s a whole village for the players there. One of the taverns has a section for “working”, with cubicles and computer type things where a couple people did… something. I didn’t ask what they were doing, since they looked very focused.

All the other Floors were the same. The secret floor isn’t a secret any more, so I guess that’s different. It was Spring themed, which mostly means it was full of flowers. It was pretty.

It was weird being home without the kobolds being there, though. The kobolds have been a constant with us for what feels like forever. Not being able to talk to Nat was… weird.

That’s about it from our time away; nothing really happened. We’re back now, and have a day full of dungeon crawling tomorrow.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
