Dear Diary,

Turns out, velociraptors are immune to siren singing! That was… interesting to learn. I think Via enjoyed watching the raptors destroy the sirens on her old floor a liiiiiitle more than a pacifist should, but oh well.

And yeah, we talked to the sirens. Via wanted to feed and make friends with everyone until Floor 25. She said she wanted to try and be friends with the sirens.

It didn’t work. They’re still a group of jerks.

But when they started singing, Lex and Tim screeched and attacked them. So I guess velociraptors aren’t fans of singing. Good to know!

Oh, tragically, we lost Lex on Floor 25. That floor is a maze, but it’s filled with mimics. There are chairs and rugs that look like normal chairs and rugs, but nope. All mimics. Even some of the floor tiles are mimics.

There are too many of them to be friends with. We tried with the first two, but they act like… I don’t know, like seagulls, maybe? They’re very suspicious, screech a lot, and aren’t afraid of anything.

Anyways, Lex got too close to a fancy painting, and it attacked. Lex died, and is now back on Floor 17.

…We presume.

Tim is still with us, though. He doesn’t seem all that upset by Lex having been eaten in front of him. Which is good. I think. If he were upset, then we’d have to kill him ourselves, or feed him to a monster, and that might make him scared to come with us again. And that would be bad.

Oh, have I mentioned the cookbook yet? It stayed with me! So I can give cookbooks to all the catgirl diner owners! We’re on Floor 28 right now, and the diner owner, Isla, was super thrilled to get the book. She said she was going to try a couple of the recipes right away, and suggested a few suggestions on a couple recipes. Well, mostly she suggested adding spicy stuff, but I understand that. Adding a tiny bit of spice can enhance the flavor of dishes. It’s like salt in that way.

But she understands the difference between jalapeño spicy and wasabi spicy. It’s a very important distinction, and one that I don’t know all that well. I’ve never really focused on spicy things. It’s more… chemical than what I usually focus on. I bet Y would be able to understand the chemical difference and how to apply it in recipes better.

Oh, the catgirls here said Aya and Lilly and Mika and Kimi and everyone else left two days ago. So we’re not too far behind, but we are behind. It’s good we decided to mostly just teleport over the floors now. We should be going at about the same speed as everyone else, so we won’t fall further behind. I don’t think we’ll catch up, but we won’t fall behind. And no other players have gotten here yet, so that makes me feel good.

Anyways, we want to start out kinda early tomorrow, so I’d better go to sleep.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
