Dear Diary,

So, I finally made a detailed review of my inventory today, and found some really weird things.

Well, pastry dough wasn’t too odd, I can think of a million different things to do with that, but then I got duck egg yolks and something called lotus paste? I was trying to think what they were for when Lilly came in and immediately identified them as the ingredients for moon cakes.

So I guess Chinese New Year is soon? We don’t have a real calendar, and I haven’t received any ingredients for, I don’t know, gingerbread or anything, even though most of my menu items are distinctly American. So I’m guessing we haven’t passed Christmas, even though Lilly says Chinese New Year is after, erm, the other New Year.

I don’t know, a part of me wonders if this is what I get for asking for so many different ingredients. Like, I wanted more things and I got them! Now what do I do with them? I swear I didn’t wish on any monkey paw. Although, if I did that, I’d probably get something like cow stomach and sea salt licorice. At least I can use the pastry dough for lots of things, and the lotus paste is pretty good. I kind of want to try baking the egg yolks into a meatloaf, so those aren’t a one-use item, either.

In other news, Kimi finally stopped glaring at the exit and went back to her home. She hasn’t come out yet, but at least she isn’t sitting out in the cold. Mika took her some food this afternoon, and has been with her since then. I’m… cautiously optimistic about her? Still worried, but Mika will let us know if something is seriously wrong.

Via ran her marbles through prelims, and she got a good team. Aya and I did a test race with her, and she won. So she’s pretty excited about marble racing now. She agreed to the marble races at first mostly because we said it was what we did, but now she’s totally on board.

Oh yeah, none of us know what happened to Dorothy. We don’t know if she was completely taken away, or if she’s on another floor, or what. Via came from a different floor, so it’s possible Dorothy is on a different floor. If she is, I hope she’s better. I hope the Admin fixed whatever was wrong with her.

I feel kinda bad that we just gave up on Dorothy after a while. After cycle three we kind of agreed to not talk about her, and ignore her as much as possible. Maybe if we’d kept on complaining to the Admin he would have fixed her. I hope that someday we find out what happened to her.

Maybe I can ask the Admin what happened to her. He doesn’t reply directly to messages, but maybe he can figure out a way of letting us know what happened to her.

If he isn’t still mad at us for having pushed the end button.

Actually, maybe it’s best if I wait a cycle or two to ask…

Goodnight, dungeon.
