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.

[ grizz hasn't worn a wallet in months because there's no need for currency in new ham and he's not willing to offer a page of the book sam gave him.

in the end, he finds a quarter in one of the pockets of his winter jacket, left there from before everything, and inserts that. ]

[You know what, that's fair, honestly, a book page is worth a lot. A quarter is just as delightful. The machine lights up, a sad little tune plays, and a card is spit out.]

What asks but never answers?

[ he thinks that the answer is a question first, but that would be too easy - and not really right, because some people answer questions with questions, right?

so after a while, he scribbles ] An owl.

[ "who? who?", right? hopefully. ]

[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?]
