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.

1st Week of March!

[sunborne]

[ daylight is back and he's in better spirits, all things considered.

he offers up a paper coin once again. the smiley face has a little birthday hat over it for some reason(?), and the note on the other side now reads the following: 'thank you for the ball from the last time! i'm trying to figure out what you meant when you gave me the card but i appreciate the gift.' on the other.

(that's a lot of text, once more, but daya finds a way.) ]

[inthenightmods]

[Honestly, why shouldn't that smiley face have a lil hat? It deserves it. The machine lights up, a happy little tune plays, and a card is spit out.]

You walk into a room that contains a match, a kerosene lamp, a candle and a fireplace. What would you light first?

[sunborne]

Oh! Hmm....

[ he's never heard of this riddle before. was it asking him to consider what would be the best thing to light? or what would last the longest? he thinks over it for a while, very thoughtful and ponder... ful...

... then daylight rereads the words and feels a bit (okay, very) silly. ] Oh-!

[ he offers up another paper coin after drawing the coin out, with the words on the other side now, 'a match!'. (the smiley face is now holding the match but at a careful distance! safety first, gacha machine.) ]

[inthenightmods]

[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?]

44. A small box: for all your leech related needs.

[sunborne]

[ huh! given how small humans are to him, the leech box is charmingly small in daylight's hold. ]

Thanks, Gacha Machine! [ he gives the machine a pat, wanting to show his appreciation for all their hard work! seems like a fair thing to do. ] I'll try to see when I use this in the future.
