GACHA MACHINE

The gacha machine is now closed! Please see our recent mod announcement for details.

After the events of August's party, the Librarian had gone back and grabbed a peculiar-looking machine from the bonfire, dragging it back over towards the Village. It's not all that flashy looking a machine; rather, it's rusted, some of the lightbulbs shattered, the paint scratched away. It makes the new, yellow-white piece of paper taped carefully to the front all the more noticeable.

There are written instructions there, carefully scrawled. It being the Librarian who wrote them, there's a lot of symbols in place of words, and honestly, it's really more of a tentative grasp on literacy going on here. But with a bit of thinking, you can figure it out:

1. Insert an offering (any offering) into the coin slot
2. Answer the riddle
3. ??
4. Prize!!

There's an array of prizes. Some are useful, some less so. But you'll never know if you don't try, and it might just be worth the effort. Unfortunately, it only responds to people once a week— meaning you can only get four prizes a month! But given the prizes, four might just be overwhelming enough.

[The machine purrs in pure happiness before it lights up and the usual cheerful tune plays.]

We heal without moving
We sweeten without touching
We bear the truth and the lies
We are not to be judged by our size
What are we?

[ This one's pretty hard, actually! Sora's determined to do this one by himself, but doesn't want this to stretch out into days again. No more getting sick for you, gacha machine. He sits down on the ground in his coat, thinking about it...

It can't be something physical... And there's more than one. A smile seems right, but unless you're Sora, they don't usually come in groups... ]

Words? But wait, don't words move? 'Cause they can stay inside you or they can come out. [ HMST. Sora is unsure about this answer, but he is going to continue to sit here in the snow until he thinks he has the right answer. Mercy, sweet gacha machine. ]

[Ding ding ding! Absolutely correct! His prize rolls out, along with a slip of paper that serves as explanation. I wonder what it could be?]

55. Budder: it’s Annabelle’s dear friend! Treat her nicely, won’t you?

[ Sora looks down at this doll, staring at it intently. Then looks up at the gacha machine. ]

Buddy, this is real scary. [ ... And then a grin. ] Kind of reminds me of some of my friends at home. I'll put her next to Vince McMahon.

[ Now Vince McMahon the teethbear has a friend! Thanks, gacha machine! ]
