Crane Game

[rubycitymods]

Stationed along the boardwalk, the old-fashioned Crane Game is an enormous thing, large enough that it stretches from floor to ceiling. The glass is tinted, but if you peer in, you'll be able to see all kinds of small items: hair clips and chocolate coins, some bubble mix and an old pulp novel. Approach it, and the entire machine lights up, neon flashing brightly and a tinny old tune that gets stuck in your head for ages afterwards.

Settle yourself in front of it, and you'll notice it doesn't have a slot for money. There's no joystick, either. There's just a button, red and worn, next to a slot three inches wide. Press the button, and a little card will pop out of the slot. There'll be a riddle written there.

Write a somewhat acceptable answer to the riddle, and you get a prize. What it is depends entirely on the machine, but fortunately the game isn't rigged; you are guaranteed an item.

You can only use it once every two weeks. The machine simply goes dead if you try and use it sooner than that.

**

The Crane Game is a fun way for your character to win some pretty rad prizes! Comment here and get a minor item from the crane machine! Selections are random, and so long as your character provides a reasonable answer to the riddle, they'll get a prize.

Two people are born at the same moment, but they don't have the same birthdays. How could this be?

[It takes him an embarrassingly long time to figure this one out--say, half an hour, some of which was spent sitting against the machine's side while he scratched his head with the back end of his pen--but eventually, inspiration strikes.]

[correct! The machine lights up, and soon a small item is popping out. What could it be?]

43. A black t-shirt: the white text boldly proclaims: "IF YOU DON'T LIKE ANIME, MAYBE YOU'RE JUST TOO BAKA FOR IT".
