NOVEL SIMPLE Cycle 6 (2)
Dear Diary,
Bikini armor is a thing here! BUT! There’s also magical jewelry! So I can keep wearing my jeans and t-shirt and put on the necklace and bracelet set that gives +3 resistance to slashing/piercing damage.
Plus it’s pretty. There was non-magical jewelry back in our old dungeon, but it was kinda… basic. This stuff was obviously designed by someone who actually likes and wears jewelry. It actually feels a little too fancy for my jeans and t-shirt, but oh well.
I hope at some point we’ll be able to keep items from one cycle to the next. Losing everything sucks. Yeah, the store is there and it’s fine, but I’d like to be start out with armor that actually protects me. And not having to re-buy my bonk stick every cycle would be epic.
Anyways, I left all the bottles with secret messages in them on the requested floors. My miniquest is complete! And I didn’t even look to see what the secret messages were.
I should have. I’m super curious. But oh well.
In other news, Kimi and Lily are kinda enemies? They aren’t talking. We were all here tonight around dinner time, and Kimi refused to eat at the same table as Lily.
I usually don’t like drama and want to stay out of it, but this is super drama. I just need to know the source, and then I’ll be able to form opinions and back away.
Kimi doesn’t want to tell me yet. She specifically said “yet”, so I think she’ll tell me soon. But she… she said sisters have to stick together. We aren’t sisters. Not really.
I kinda wonder if she doesn’t remember that. I mean, a while back she said she didn’t want to remember anything from before the dungeon. That her life sucked and life here was way better. Maybe she sped up her forgetting, and now remembers nothing.
Maybe she had a sister, and when Fire called us sisters… I don’t know. Maybe her real sister was replaced with me?
Like I said, I don’t mind if she calls me her sister. Kimi is my best friend (other than Avi). Being sisters would be cool. But in a literal sense we’re not related.
I don’t want to forget that.
Every day I remember less and less about life before the dungeon. It makes me sad, but I’m not scared any more. There’s no point in being afraid. I know I will lose all my memories, and it’s fine. As long as I have my husband and my friends I’ll be ok. I don’t need those old memories to be happy.
Oh, I started a list of names. I’m gonna write down everyone in the dungeon’s names in the back of this book. Later I might add in their favorite food, but for now it’s just names.
Because everyone deserves to be called by their name.
I’m gonna write player names down too. That might actually take longer than the NPCs, since I don’t have all that many opportunities to talk to people from other groups.
Wait, I’m with Octavius, who’s in Admin 4’s group. He can tell me all the names from that group, at least.
I’ll ask him first thing tomorrow.
Goodnight, Dungeon!
