Welcome home, good Hunter. What is it you desire?

Is it... an adorable replica of The Doll from Bloodborne? Gosh, I sure hope it's that, because that's almost immediately deliverable on our end.

This incarnation of The Doll is a truly one-of-a-kind customization of a 28-centimetre (or 11-inch) Ever After High doll, with hand-painted face, handmade hair, hand-sewn clothes and boots, hand-knitted gloves and cape, and hand-crocheted lace. (For clarity's sake, the doll itself only has two hands.) She's been brought to life (not literally, as far as we know) by artist and character designer HaruNoHikaru, and she can be yours if you slip in the winning bid between 6 pm and 2 am PST.

Like last year, we'll be using the Vickrey Auction system to run all of our silent auctions; check out our information post from last year to learn how that works.

... and now, it's here! Gird your loins, (k)Nights of the Polygonal Table, because you've got another six hours of US to endure!

While the sun rarely shines upon our realm, we yet gleam with the radiance of fun, games, wisdom, and BOUNTEOUS PRIZES, including a live auction!
