Chapter 329: Cycle 59 (Admin)

Admin 6 sat down in an overstuffed chair, listening to Admin 5 complain about how her players were purposefully going slow.

"I know this isn't a race or anything, but it's like they're sightseeing," she huffed. "It's been too long, they're getting bored."

"It really has," Admin 1 said. "My players asked if they could have a vacation cycle."

"What did you answer?" Admin 6 asked.

Admin 1 shrugged. "I didn't. I'd like to give them a break, but we can't."

"Why don't we ask to stop things now?" Admin 2 asked, fiddling with his beer. "There's no real reason we have to reach 60 cycles, only the Director's love of multiples of six. We all know who we're sending, right?"

Slowly, all the other admins nodded.

"All we need is time to set up a floor for everyone we leave behind," Admin 5 said. "We have our Floor 1's player-only, so we don't even need to pause things to set it all up."

"Yeah," Admin 2 said, nodding. "If we're good at our jobs, it shouldn't take us more than, what, five hours?"

"Please, three hours," Admin 1 said. "Just copy/paste a catgirl floor and edit it."

"Figuring out how to phrase the announcement will be the hardest part," Admin 3 added.

Admin 4 nodded. "Might as well get it over with. Let's ask to end it here."

Admin 5 pulled up a message box. "Want me to write the letter?"

They agreed, and Admins 1 and 2 moved to stand behind her to help. Admin 3 went to get another beer as Admin 4 finished his.

Admin 6 stayed seated. He wanted to leave and go straight to Emmy. He needed to tell her they wouldn't have another cycle together. But he couldn't. Leaving now would look suspicious.

Admin 5 finished writing and sent the message off. The other two sat down.

"What will you have the players that are left behind do?" Admin 3 asked. "Best I can come up with is a fetch quest."

Admin 1 grinned. "Nothing wrong with a fetch quest. I'm going to make a couple bosses unbeatable and tell them to have at it. If they win... Fetch quest."

"Combine the two," Admin 2 laughed. "Fetch a drop from an unbeatable boss."

"Make it a rare drop, too," Admin 5 said, her eyes gleaming.

Admin 6 finished off his beer as the group laughed. "How long do you think it'll take to get an answer?" he asked. "I might go and start…" A message notification popped up, stopping him.

It was from the director.
