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.

[So this is the riddle box everyone's talking about. Sounds interesting. She never used it before but it accepts anything, right?

She found old, rusty dime near the museum so she inserts it in the machine and waits, curious.]

[The machine lights up, a sad little tune plays, and a card is spit out.]

A man is found murdered on a Sunday morning. His wife calls the police, who question the wife and the staff, and are given the following alibis: the wife says she was sleeping, the butler was cleaning the closet, the gardener was picking vegetables, the maid was getting the mail, and the cook was preparing breakfast.

Immediately, the police arrest the murdered. Who did it and how did the police know?

[She sits down by the machine when she gets the card, mulling it over. This should be easy, right? Riddles aren't so hard.

It takes her a while to figure it out though, but she does it in the end. She scrawls the answer-]

The maid- she is lying. There is no post on Sundays.

[-and slips the card back in the machine.]

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

34. Fashion rat: cut her hair! Do a makeup! Paint the her nails!
