Today I spent most of my time relaxing. My last couple of days have been pretty hectic and I want a break. I found myself going to try to play board games with Talus before catching myself a couple times. I’m still not used to her being gone.

On a happier note, Par made me dinner today. It wasn’t the greatest thing I’ve had, but it is still really good. It was some kind of small feral Biped grilled a spit over. Apparently, they dig around underground to find juicy roots to munch on and are almost never sentient.

I need to figure out what to do with my time now. All of my mana is being used up to fix my grove, so I need to find a task that requires absolutely no mana.

Huh, there aren’t exactly many options like that now that I think about it. I thought about trying cooking, but that takes mana, and a lot of it. I tried doing board games today, but almost all of them take mana, and the ones that don’t aren’t very fun. There aren’t really any projects that I care about that rely on my rather lackluster physical body. I can’t even use my already created puppets, they take a surprising amount of mana to operate.

That really only leaves one option, Solar Energy. Strictly speaking, it doesn’t require mana at all. However, it feels like I am both starving and suffocating while I’m in there once my mana pool runs dry. On top of that, I can’t regenerate mana while I’m inside either, as the pipeweed walls prevent any mana from entering that isn’t already part of my body. As for what happens to the mana once it is consumed out of my mana pool, it seems to be destroyed.

Here is what I think I will do. I will order the trees to share their mana with each other while I am inside of the Solar Energy room. This way I don’t lose time on my main project right now and I can fill my time with something rather than nothing.

Anyway, it’s getting late. Good Night Diary.
