[Gorirakujira]

Thank you for this event!

[Akuyi]

The grapes are so tiny. XD

[Lemon Cheesecake]

but lots of detail!

[Akuyi]

Yes but since they are so smol it's hard to see!

[Gingerale]

anyone know what these new items are called? I thought at first they were nesting dolls but I think they are a Japanese tradition for the new year?

[mdom]

DARUMA-SAN!!!

you paint one eye and make a wish, then you promise to paint the other eye only when the wish is granted ^^
THEY'RE SO CUTE DIANA!!! I LOVE THEM!!!

[Gingerale]

Thanks for letting us know what they are called mdom !

I researched it a little and here is the meaning on the colors:

The FIVE COLOURS our Daruma dolls represent different TYPES of GOALS.

Choose your color based on YOUR GOAL!

A RED Daruma doll is for LUCK and GOOD FORTUNE.
A PURPLE Daruma doll is for HEALTH and LONGEVITY.
A YELLOW Daruma doll is for SECURITY and PROTECTION.
A GOLD Daruma doll is for WEALTH and PROSPERITY.
A WHITE Daruma doll is for LOVE and HARMONY.

[mdom]

No problem ^^
the most common is the red one! I always see it with the lucky cat that moves its paw.

[Gingerale]

I've definitely seen the lucky cat that moves its paw but don't recall these goal dolls.

mdom : have you gotten all the event item's? I've got some spares if you don't.

[mdom]

Thanks! I think I'm only missing the head mistletoe. What was I doing that day that I couldn't get all items...

[Gingerale]

I'll gift it to you on the next generous goal then - the one for your hair not the hanging one?

OMG DARUMA

I NEED THEM ALL AAAAAAAH

-edit-
Gingerale: I didn't know about the different colors representing different things!

[Gingerale]

Ciel, let me know which ones you miss.

"The Japanese word for this is “okiagari”. “Oki” means get up and “agari” means arise.

The daruma doll is therefore extra symbolic for the never giving up on your dreams. It symbolizes the ability to overcome any difficulty and recovering from any hardships you may encounter on your mission to reach your goal. "

Gingerale: I keep getting black and red ones ;___; and although I don't mind a veritable army of daruma, if anyone is interested in trading black, red or purple for gold or white... I would be much obliged :>

Lemon: I didn't know that either!
