ALL NOVEL Cycle 11 (4)
Dear Diary,
Well, I’m back on Floor 1! It’s… been a weird couple of days. Avi was apparently turned into a kobold for a couple hours? He freaked out, I freaked out, Lewis freaked out, the kobold who was suddenly turned into a player freaked out, I think the Admin freaked out… Yeah, no one was happy.
And then, right as we were gonna see what to do about it, Avi was switched back. With no warning or anything.
Which kinda replaced the AAAAH feeling with an oh heck feeling. Like, we don't know what’s going on. We don't know what happened. We don't know if it’ll happen again. Was it just a random bug, or was it something deliberate? We don't know!
Yeah, next cycle if I don't get to be in a party with Avi, I'm gonna suggest we just stay behind together. I need to be with him.
The Admin- Our Admin said the Director did it. But he didn't say why, only that he’d look into it, and then I never heard from him again.
I don't know, maybe I should write the Director and ask? But then she was mean to Avi, and what she says might make me mad. I'd rather not be mad at the person who controls literally everything.
Anyways, I'm here and Fire is here. No one else is back yet, but she said it took a while for everyone to leave. Like, way longer than it should have. I guess everyone kept respawning here? And they just got madder and madder about it.
Which kinda makes me wonder even more what was going on. If I could I’d message someone and ask, but I don't have anyone’s number here. I can't even message Nat. I need to get her number next time I'm on their floor.
Oh! Floor 60! When I got there, the catgirls had put the reset button in an obvious trap. Not as obvious as our lotus flower trap, but still very clearly a trap. When I stopped, one of them tried charming me into getting the button.
That was weird. I've never been charmed before. Not really. Sure, Lily’s done it, but it was mostly to practice. She’d do things like ask for food, then charm me to bring it to her, so something I was already doing anyways. Meaning I never felt any difference.
This was me doing something I knew was a bad idea that I very much didn't want to do, but I couldn't stop. It kinda felt like being in a car and realizing the breaks don't work.
I told them that charming people is rude, and why don't we just all go to the diner for cookies and to talk things over.
It took a few seconds for them to agree and release the charm, at which point I was very concerned for my health and safety. They came out of hiding and said they were testing everyone, and that I’d passed, and they gave me the button.
Which was just… very strange.
I don't know, the whole thing gave me a weird feeling that didn't help the already bad feelings from Avi being kinda kidnapped.
Hopefully tomorrow is a good day.
Goodnight, Dungeon!
