Announcement to all players:

This being the 25th Cycle, the Admin will be revising things and attempting to fix all the minor issues that have cropped up. If you have any complaints, now is the time to voice them, before leaving the first floor. If this causes any problems, report them and be assured they are temporary.

The first issue that was addressed: levels now only refers to stats. Levels as in floors are now floors. Officially.

Dear Diary,

I HAVE BREAKFAST THINGS NOW!!!! FINALLY!!!!!

It’s a new cycle, so I got new stuff.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS I GOT WAS EGGS!!! I didn’t get flour, but I got pancake mix (which is pretty basic and can probably be used for all kinds of things), and biscuit mix. The biscuit mix has a lot of baking soda and powder in it, so they poof up super high. As biscuits they’re pretty good, super good with gravy, but I gave a couple boxes to Nat, and I can’t wait to see if she can figure out what else to do with them. We tried turning them into some kind of pastry crust, but it’s too salty.

Actually, it might make pretty good empanadas. Which I would absolutely love, but I’m not sure the girls would be too thrilled that I figured out something new to do with cheese. Especially now that I have eggs and sausages. And three types of jam. And-

OH I GOT TEA!! Herbal tea. So chamomile, lemongrass, “forest berries”, and mint. That’s right: mint. I haven’t had the time to boil a whole bunch down into a concentrate so I can put it in milkshakes, but that’s absolutely something I’m going to be doing.

I used to be allergic to chamomile, and I kinda wonder if I still am. A part of me doesn’t want to try it, because getting sick and not being able to breathe is horrible. But on the other hand, I might not even be allergic any more. Besides, what’s it going to do, kill me? Hah.

Kimi got those necklace bikini armor things in her shop. They’re stupid expensive, but they come in colors! The red one is resistant to cold, so I tried to get it, and Kimi got an error message. She said the only ones I would be able to buy would be the white one (which is just basic with no bonuses or resistances), or the green one (which is resistant to poison).

Huh, I’ve been using parentheses a lot today. Weird.

So anyways I got the white one. Because at least it’s not green, and we don’t fight anything with poison anyways. I mean, the ants have poison, but thanks to Aya we don’t ever fight them. And, I guess, thanks to the fact that they don’t want to fight. Kimi got the red one.

Oh, she also got sending stones in her shop, so we got a bunch. They’re sold in pairs, which makes it convenient. I gave one to Nat. And then Lewis saw them and asked what else Kimi had in her shop, and the kobolds spent like all morning buying things from her. She was mostly fine with that, but by the time Nat and I called everyone for lunch (yeah, we had another party) I could tell Kimi was ready to hang out with just Y.

But yeah, the kobolds got a whole bunch of cool stuff, and Aya was kind of worried about it. She muttered something about breaking the balance of the dungeon, and went to visit the ants. I… I get it, kinda, but I think she’s worrying too much. I mean, they’re a horde of kobolds on floor 97. They’re supposed to be hard for the players to kill. A couple fireball caters and +1 armor wearers aren’t going to break anything.

Oh yeah, the Admin changed the floors to be floors, they were levels before, but that was confusing, so it’s less confusing now.

Yep.

Goodnight, dungeon!
