Dear Diary, 

Last cycle, Mika asked the blacksmith here to make special weapons for her. She just got them, and says they're perfect.

Today I asked for a Rod of Defense. The catgirl says she can make it up to +5, so I'm gonna have a super defense bonk stick next cycle! I'd kinda prefer one that buffs magic, but the mage says she can only enchant wooden items, and I don't know where to get good staffs. There's more to a good bonk stick than just wood. Yeah, there are staffs available in the Floor 1 shop, but they're basically broom handles. They're ok, but not great.

Oh, I keep forgetting I have water magic this cycle. I keep casting poison and sleep, then being surprised when it isn't all that strong. I should try using black magic one cycle, and see how far I can teleport.

I have used a couple water spells, but not a whole lot. We've only passed one water floor, so yeah. I remember I have water magic more on water floors. It kinda feels like I’m being drawn to the water somehow, like the magic goes “ooh, water, like me!” or something. It’s hard to explain. I don’t feel drawn to poison when I use green magic, but then there aren’t whole floors covered in poison.

Anyways, Kimi and Y have been turned into nekos and banned from leaving Floor 1. Which sucks, but is good. Kimi says she doesn't mind. …I haven't heard from Y about it.

In other news, tomorrow we get to kidnap dinosaurs! I hope their HP stays up, but I'm not gonna be surprised if it goes to 1 again. The glyptodon also went down to 1, so it must be a dungeon thing.

If so, this dungeon has some very silly rules. It's not that they aren't fair, they're just silly. We aren’t supposed to kidnap things, so rules to stop us are all kinda fair.

I wonder how many rules we unknowingly break. I mean, we weren’t players on Cycle 1 in our old dungeon, so I don’t know if there was like a booklet or something that was given out on what to do. For the theme park, everyone who got in at first got a list of rules to not break. We didn’t, cuz the Admin didn’t know if he was going to let us in or not. And then when we were let in, the catgirls just gave us the password. We only found out that setting murderous dracoraptors loose in the park was illegal after we did it. And that’s a super specific thing, so I suspect the real rule was something broader.

Like, blowing up a Floor is probably illegal. But we’ve never seen a list of rules, so how are we supposed to know to not do it? Sure, some things we get a “don’t do this” feeling about, or a “don’t talk about this” feeling, but those can kinda be ignored. And since we’re supposed to be Really Real Players, we should know all the rules. So if we break one, it looks like we’re doing it on purpose.

Which is totally not fair.

…Maybe I should ask the Admin if there’s a list of rules somewhere.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
