GACHA MACHINE
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 slotThere'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.
2. Answer the riddle
3. ??
4. Prize!!

Here's another penny! This one's from 2011, so it's a bit shinier than the last one. He'll stick it in and wait patiently. ]

Someone makes it, but has no need of it. Someone buys it, but has no use for it. Someone uses it, but can neither see nor feel it. What is it?

Eventually, he stands up and walks away. He's gone for a few days!
He'll end up stomping back because he is pretty sure he got the right answer but!! Wow! If this is right this is depressing!! And he only got it because he's here! Written in a pencil he borrowed from the library's card catalogue: ]

Actually . . . the machine gurgles a little, then spits each prize out almost violently, because it's been waiting for days.]
8. A polaroid camera: only good for ten pictures! Don't shake what comes out, that actually isn't good for the photographs.
13. A packet of instant Kool-Aid: perfect for drinking or hair dyeing. Flavors vary.
31. A painting: really spruces up the room, doesn’t it?
41. Blanket: it’s probably a blanket. Or a coat . . .?

[ He'll quickly stack his prizes on top of his new... blank...et? He can probably get Aziraphale to help him wash the snow juice off of it later. But, uh, he'll gingerly step over to the gacha machine... giving it a soothing backrub? Kind of like how he used to do in high school if someone had one too many to drink. ]
Hey? You good? I'm sorry, was that my fault?
[ If there's no answer, he'll brush the snow off of it, gather his prizes and be on his way ;; oh no he's so sorry, he'll make it up to it! ]

Second of all, the machine gurgles woefully. Yes, they're good, but it was very hard and they are going to milk this for all it's worth. But after a few moments, they play a new tune rather bravely. They're tough. They'll go on. Somehow . . .
But they bear Sora no resentment, because he stopped to comfort them. So that's good.

Thank god this Sora understands the cultural reference. He'll breathe a sigh of relief, promise to bring a gift to make up for it next time, and roll back home!
HE'LL BE FASTER NEXT TIME!! he'll get good he swears!!!
