Friendly Thursday Challenger: Som

Forget tomorrow
Only now is important
Do not ask me more


Som is a diligent worker, and you would generally not find much to complain about. She has such a way with customers, acting in the moment with them and seeming to care deeply about their current needs. She has an eccentric way of speaking, she really does like a haiku! But you find yourself quite charmed by it, and make a visit simply to hear her poetry. When does a poem by Som not brighten your day?

You're not sure about her history, she doesn't seem to bring it up now that you think about it. You've maybe asked about her plans for the future, but she always brings the subject back to you! Did her eyes all flash red when you asked? You're not sure you remember correctly. Maybe you should try again? I'm sure she isn't going to get angry and be unlocked as a new challenger. Not unless you do something to REALLY set her off.

@Monsoon Thanks! :) It shows how often I've visited that shop!! :D
Monsoon
@extremist @Sue - Five Seven Five is the shop she oversees. Chocolate linked it in the fourth post made (so fourth from the bottom here). :)
Sue
@extremist Yes, I was thinking a game too...score over 575..."try again" could be keep trying until you reach 575. "You're not sure you remember correctly"... could be a memory game.

Five seven five that does ring a bell....
Was that a shop name? Or a game?
Rocket-Dive
I just looked it up ^_^""

@Rocket-Dive

That's the syllable count of a haiku.

I don't know if this helps one way or another, but when you're on her shop page, and look at the tab name, it says 'five seven five'. Do those numbers ring a bell to anyone?

Tried with 5 different clock items in inventory with no luck.

Let me guess, she is afraid of the future and traumatized by the past. To unlock her would have to involve something involving either, the question is, what and how.

I went to visit her shop with a fire extinguisher, she might get made if you put her candles out.

Maybe you have to visit her with both Morostide AND Lumi decorations in your inventory. Wait, sorry, that's me. >.>

maybe it's something to do with the actual Subeta clock? like visiting at a round hour? at a specific minute?
Robin
omfg that Candelaria description tho you can't do that
Ariko
@Amber aww, I thought I was on to something xD back to the drawing board!
Damon
@Sovereign

Maybe, maybe not. Staff try and make each unlock unique and not quite like the others.
Amber STAFF
@Ariko it's not a timed thing this time WE WOULDN'T BE THAT MEAN TWO MONTHS IN A ROW
StarShadow
Tried visiting with a few future items but still nothing.
Ariko
Well, given Lucien's was visiting over time and the line about patience... I'm gonna sit on her shop for a while and see if it's like a timed thing. <_<
StarShadow
Tried visiting with a time machine in inventory but didn't work.
Sovereign
if the description and the way the lukien's went are any indication to how this'll go, we may be here a while
StarShadow
@Allegria @Thelovelyzero
Thanks. Figured she might be in that area but just didn't see her.
Hope someone figures out the unlock soon.
Waited so long to unlock Lukien but none of my pets can defeat him.
Allegria
@StarShadow

She's in the Floating Market in Shengui Guo.

ried visiing with the [iem="IOU Slip"] with no luck.
StarShadow
How do you visit her? What shop is she in? I don't see a link to her shop in the news post.

I tried visiting with
Scrapbook from a Lifetime Ago
with no luck. What about an iou or a return receipt. maybe she keeps bad records and hates doing returns or layaway?

elka
tried this
tried refreshing several times with both
Crystal Ball of Fate
and
Fortune-Telling Mouse
in my inventory and so far nothing, but maybe we need a certain threshold like hours, number of hits or days... thought this would look an awful lot like last one so idk u_u

@Virus No dice :(

Anyone try visiting her with that Owl/Clock experiment... or have an item of that experiment... I doubt it would be the actual pet but still you never know.

ohh. myy. gaawd.
MY BAE!!
until i know her stats, i don't know if i will be able to take a rumble or not (tbh i am pretty sure i won't & anyways confession time, i'd rather hug than fight sue me lololl)
BUT!! i just wanted to take a second to scream: from the bottom of my ♥️ THANK YOU SO SO MUCH STAFF for the drops!!!!
ever since she came out, i asked a couple of times for items to "cosplay" her, since she is one of the most well done characs on site
it is so heartwarming to witness most of my suggestions come to life in the past 3 years since i joined -- i mean truly a game where users are taken into consideration is just YASSSSSS so good

I tried visiting while wearing the Father Time Beard, Father Time Robe, and Father Time Pocket Watch (I don't have the Father Time Scythe) and nothing happened. Other items that didn't work for me: Wall Calendar, Fortune-Telling Mouse, Jade Bead, Pumpkin Wall Clock.

Wearing a clock necklace and visiting her didn't set her off.

maybe visit her with an eye patch so we block her eye?
Julie
Fullfill your needs, wants
My shop has all and much more
If you have patience

Maybe she doesn’t like people with no patience.
Or nosey people. She directs questions back to yo

Chronophobia - the irrational fear of clocks and watches. Hmmm, so maybe watches or clocks??[/inventory]

Year Eight Kumos Planner
Wall Calendar

I tried visiting her with - Fortune-Telling Mouse, Out O Time License Plate and even tried with a fortune cookie. None of those worked. I also tried buying something from her shop with those items in my inventory. No luck

A hint from me
I looked up chronophobia.

@Xezvi - funnily enough, this did come up when we were talking about her as a challenger. We feel that she is actually nonbinary, but is fine with feminine pronouns. Sometimes she will have masculine days. It's not a big enough part of what this particular post is about, though, to go into it. Or rather, she's not open about things that aren't happening today. But your comment made us smile!

Maybe something to do with haikus?

I tried visiting her with a Paralix Crystal Ball so that did nothing.

Something to do with the future... to put her on the spot. She might be able to see the future and doesn't feel comfortable talking about it because she knows every little thread and is unnerved by the outcome perhaps. So if that IS the case how can one get her to lash out... hmmm?
PrincessJudith
I love that little Minion!!!
Chocolate

So, she doesn't want to talk about the future, and doesn't want to talk about herself.
I personally think she might be a zombie, honestly. Obviously a lot of fire- so attempts to extinguish her candles? Bringing up future plans, or death?
(Visiting her shop with a Dead Person minion in your inventory doesn't work.)
Xezvi
Glad to know Som's gender. I remember when her shop first opened, a lot of us were debating whether she was a girl or a boy or neither.
