Hunting Trophy is an item

AI Description

Hunting Trophy.
It’s the hand of a hunter. Gross.
You own 34 of these items.
You ever go to one of those arcade pizza joints as a child? You’re usually there because it’s some other kid’s birthday, or worse, because your parent hates raising you so much they’d do anything just to keep you distracted for ten minutes in exchange for a pitcher of watered-down beer. The whole place is chaos. There’s flashing lights, blaring music, a colorful carpet that hides the vomit stains. Not to mention the norovirus-infested ball pit, the rickety merry-go-round, the workers with dead eyes, and the pizza that tastes like it was cooked in a Soviet-era microwave? All the while an animatronic rodent holds court on stage, blinking and rotating and telling you that he is now your god.
Within this orgy of grease and unchecked consumerism is the arcade. Barely-functioning games gobble up tokens in exchange for mere seconds of entertainment. And every once in a while, one of these games will spit out something special. A ticket. A prize ticket.
Once you have a sticky handful of these hard-won paper tickets, you must make a pilgrimage to the fabled prize counter.
Here, you squeeze yourself in with the other pilgrims and press your face up against the glass and spend an inordinate amount of time deciding how to spend your newfound riches. In the end, you trade forty dollars’ worth of tickets for five cents’ worth of bubble gum and a filicide-inducing whistle. But that’s okay. It’s an important life lesson. Perhaps the most important one of all, only you’re not sure what that lesson is.
This hand you have savagely removed from a third-party interloper is the ticket in this scenario.
The prize counter where it may be exchanged will be open at the Butcher’s Masquerade during the party that will occur near the end of this floor.
The cheapest award in the prize case will cost a single hand. The prizes only get better from there.
If you transfer or sell this item, it will revert to just being some dude’s appendage. ^[1]
