NOVEL SIMPLE Cycle 8 (9)
Dear Diary,
As we get closer to Floor 60 Y is getting twitchier and twitchier.
Fire said that next cycle we’re going to be half-dragons again, and it freaked Y out. I don’t know if she’s right or not, but it is a possibility.
Kimi is kinda having a hard time. It’s hard watching someone you love feel stressed and scared.
Anyways, when we got to Floor 50 a bunch of people were around. I guess without super OP stats we’re just average. I haven’t been average in a while. It’s weird.
Tomorrow we should be in the new cycle. I wonder what the party setup will be like. I hope it isn’t solo runs again. I hate solo runs. I wonder if we’ll ever have to make parties out of one person from each group. That could be fun! Then I’d learn which Admins made which Floors!
Oh, Linda and Floofles are back on their Floor. They didn’t survive the spiderweb maze. Dire wolves aren’t all that good at tightrope walking, who would have known. Well, I’m not all that great at it either, but at least if I fall off I have a chance at grabbing a strand as I flail. The poor doggos just had to resign themselves to death.
We debated sending the other four back when that happened, but Fire said no. She said she was too in love with Bear to send him back.
Which I get. I didn’t want to send Siri home, either.
When we were on Floor 50 I made cupcakes! I made strawberry cupcakes and vanilla cupcakes, and made peach frosting for both types. I like the way it turned out. I’ve been giving them away, but I might still have some in my inventory when the cycle ends. If I do, I really super hope they don’t go poof. Having cupcakes vanish into the aether would be too much.
I’ll have to write the Director and ask her pretty please to let us keep things from one cycle to the next. I know it’ll cause problems for her, but… that’s her problem.
I mean, some non-magical things stay in the inventory. Like diaries and clothes. But anything that at one point had been magical gets taken away. And anything that you have more than a dozen of gets poofed away. The ovens here use magic to heat up, so that technically makes everything I bake semi-magical. At best I can expect to keep twelve cupcakes, but I wouldn't be surprised if they all vanish.
OH! We got to Floor 50 at dusk, and while we were eating dinner Staab and Lily’s group came in. Apparently Lily told Staab some fake reason for why she was avoiding Y. Staab came over to ask if Y had threatened her, and Y said if ordering someone to stop lying was a threat, then yes. Kimi added she’d threatened to set Lily on fire, but that’s all.
Apparently whatever Lily said Y did was waaaay worse. Like, lying about it crosses a line worse.
Staab is not happy with Lily right now.
I wish I could say I’m sorry for her, but I’m not. It’s just the consequences of her actions.
Goodnight, Dungeon!
