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.

[ at the end of the very first week of september, kol decides to give into his inner kid and go to the machine. he doesn't have any money, and he's sure a good, hard kick to its side won't do... so, with a quick dive into his pockets, he finds a round thin stone he'd collected on one of his many walks. if he needs to, he can flatten it even more with a good press of his fingers so it can fit in the slot. ]

[Please don't kick the machine . . . the slot will widen all on its own, Alice-In-Wonderland-Doorknob-Style, just to be sure it can take that stone. Yum! The machine lights up, a sad little tune plays, and a card is spit out.]

What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs?

[ oh, cool — this machine really is accomodating. after spending a few minutes actually looking at the machine, he considers the riddle.

he's pretty sure he's used these before as currency back in the day. ]

A penny.

[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?]

22. A dead rat: it's pretty much what it sounds like.

[Sorry, buddy. Try again next week!]

[unpredict]

[ ...just how long has that dead rat been in there?

until the next time, machine! kol gives it a (gentle) pat and takes the dead rat. (you'll never know when it'll be useful.) ]
