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.

( clearly the inventor of this riddle didn't have ridiculous vampire pyrokinesis powers. )

A match, unless you're intending to Bear Grills it with flint and kindling.

( is this machine mildly sentient? hopefully, otherwise who would appreciate her (pointless) sass? )

[It is, and it does, honestly. 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?]

14. A pin: golden and sturdy, it almost looks like it's flying, especially when it catches the firelight.


[How fun. But then, oddly enough, there's a rumbling, and another card is spit out:]

K. Everdeen, R25

( is this for her Katniss Everdeen cosplay? aww, gacha, you shouldn't have! she makes a face at the pin, bites it to ascertain if it's gold or not (or maybe just to be spiteful) and shrugs. )

Okay, sure.

( that's not even the weirdest thing she's gotten from a sentient vending machine, she'll call it a win! )
