NOVEL SIMPLE Cycle 10 (2)
Dear Diary,
One of the dragons, Pudroat, is gone. And about half the wyverns have been taken out. The groups seem to be trying to figure out sneaky ways of killing wyverns.
Sneaky because PVP is allowed, and no one wants to get killed by another player.
Our plan is to go out tonight with all our AOE spells active and kill as many wyverns as possible. I made cakes for Jenny and Lewis, and we’ll use those to bargain with them to keep us safe.
I wonder if any other players will try to bargain with them. If it works well for us they might. Bargaining is so much nicer than fighting.
Since going outside was kinda a bad idea today and yesterday, we’ve been racing slinkies down the stairs. Slinkies aren't really a thing in the dungeon, but Mika was able to make some pretty good ones out of ice. I think her old blacksmith knowledge helped.
It’s almost as fun as marble racing. Almost. Marbles don’t have the potential to break or melt halfway through a race.
For each race Mika made ten slinkies, then we all chose which one we wanted, leaving her with the tenth one. That way no one can say she’s cheating.
Out of three races, Avi got second place twice. At this point we all kinda agree there’s some silver magic deal that influences the universe and makes him get second. In the third race he got seventh place, so the magic doesn't, like, doom him to always be second. Which is good.
I got fifth place, then third, then fourth. Not great, but at least I kept in the top half. Like I've said before, winning doesn't matter as long as you’re consistently ok.
…Sure, winning would be nice, but it isn't something I'm going to stress out over.
Well, winning the dungeon would be nice. Kimi and Aya are determined to win, and I'll help them to the best of my ability. They said it’s important, but didn't say why. Just that there’s more to the prize than what the Director told us. Avi knows, if I wanted to know what the big deal was I could ask him.
It’s not that I don't care, it’s just that I don't see how knowing what it is would do anything but stress me out. Avi was super stressed for a little bit after he found out, and he said it was something no one could do anything about. If I can't do anything about it, I don't need the extra stress.
All that happened back when we were in our old dungeon for a cycle. Kimi told Y, and I think Aya told Lily, but other than that they just told us winning is important and we should really try to win. Which is what we were doing anyways.
Ok, the clock just chimed midnight. We were gonna go out at 12:08, because that way we wouldn't be accidentally running outside at the same time as other people. It sounds like that was a good idea, cuz people from Group 3 are leaving their house. So we wait until 12:38 now.
Meaning I have another half-hour to wait.
I think I'm gonna go decorate the cakes for Jenny and Lewis. Just so I don't fall asleep.
Goodnight, Dungeon!
