oh right! now I remember!! Yes so now I wonder what is their fear..

"Is known to be very rude to customers that do not take music seriously; he has actually banned people from his store for not appreciating the instruments"
we're going to be destroying instruments, aren't we? :c i don't wanna beat up the nice instruments, i just wanna chat with johannes...
they could go the fun route and have his fear be a genre he doesn't like
that'd be cute but unlikely given that all of the fears have been pretty serious
so my money's on silence, hearing loss, or tinnitus

I thought maybe not a certain kind of music but just music played badly. Like too loud or not hitting the right notes, etc. But IDK how that would tie in with unlocking the challenger. Hmm...
There might be a clue in his Subetapedia article:
• Is known to be very rude to customers that do not take music seriously; he has actually banned people from his store for not appreciating the instruments • Very fond of customers who do appreciate music, and has no problem talking to them for hours
But yeah, I can't think of how to turn that info into a way to unlock him.

Those are interesting ideas too. Although the fear would make sense for the Cash Shop challenger, and the way to unlock the Friendly Thursday challenger could just be something that makes them angry. Like Maybel's unlocking trigger was different from her fear.
The destroying instruments thing could be it, but it seems like maybe too easy to guess.

this is a lil too real but i hope it's not poor playing 'cause that just makes me think about how i haven't picked up my viola in like... seven years....... lol whoops
but i also don't think it'd be deleting instruments since we've already done that (and staff has shown they're willing to go Out There with hiding your base layers as a trigger) so! who knows o:

Yeah, that's why I'm not really sure. There are a few things that it maybe could be, and I agree having it just be deleting something again would be kind of boring.
Hopefully the news post will have a bit of a secret hint or something. :P
i'm not so good at riddles so i hope it's a big hint, haha (also i know the scroll probably showed up early 'cause they were testing, but... i hope the news post is a lil early too ;w; )
[edit] so... january - maybel february - bubbles (survival) march - olivette (masquerade) april - it is a mystery.gif may - emma (vesnali) june - lindsay july - wesley? (alegarten) august - kain (idk gelly war maybe) september - babette (keel hauliday) october - ??? (morostide) i want to say accessory bin shopkeeper but. she has no subetapedia entry o: i'm guessing it's dolly november - mathis (fireside) december - aspen? or any of the toy/plushie/beanbag shopkeepers (lumi)
The solution for Olivette was kind of hard, I'm not sure I even want to attempt today's :P
Well nothing new added just yet in the Directory, minus the scroll from a few days back.
Looks like we get to wait and see.. and watch it not be the person we think XD oh that would be how Subeta do.
It would have been harder, I think, if some people hadn't already had their HAs set up like that. I had a thought that it would have something to do with the HA's face, but I didn't really get to test anything myself, lol. Just got to watch others in the news comments try stuff after sharing a couple hints about what some of us were wearing.
That would be funny if it's not even who we think, would have been laughing at us last night if that was the case. :P
Excited to see who we get as a challenger today!
Also pretty sure that BQs weren't pinged last night...
Haha, exactly! I don't think we'll be as lucky today :P
You Won! You have defeated Crawbeast Cynde earned 3500 EXP Points!
30/30 and 12/30 days completed. Let's see the new challenger!
Well, we can at least hope for a hint in the news post, and maybe start by trying some of the ideas mentioned here if it ends up being the NPC that we guessed.
Hmm, still nothing new in the directory yet.
Don't get me wrong, I know it'll be solved because we have brilliant people on here, I just won't be able to contribute anything :P
Hmmm they might wait till after the Thursday update before releasing the new challenger. Lol they love making us wait.
"The Oracle has asked that you kindly bring her a Emerald Birthstone Collectible Mug, for a reward." Okay! Can do! Plz, can I bribe you for more quests?
3 level reward though. Sad.
