VENDING MACHINE/REGAINS
Okay, so what's this thing? ↴
When do we get coins? ↴
What's in it for me? ↴
What's this about renewable items? ↴
I got an item that isn't mine - what do I do with it? ↴
Can we stack coins to help our odds? ↴
Do our coins expire? ↴
Can we use our coins to opt out of death rolls? ↴
...You know, appearance-wise that is an astoundingly good question. It's very definitely a vending machine, but it looks more like a giant crystal ball than anything. But you know what, that crystal ball is also filled with gacha capsules, and perhaps most importantly, it's here to give you stuff! ICly, characters will be rewarded for bonding with one another; these rewards come in the form of coins left in their room, somewhere that they'll be easily found. After that, it's just a matter of going over to the...that, sticking coins in and letting prizes fall out. Simple!
When do we get coins? ↴
Coins are awarded for every 20-comment thread (10 comments per person) submitted here. Any threads between two player characters that do not take place during investigations, trials and motive announcements are eligible for a coin. Threads with mod NPCs such as the Wordsmith are eligible for coins as well, but the one caveat to this is that private conversations and letters do not count – the thread must take place in public.
What's in it for me? ↴
Glad you asked! We asked all of you to put five regains down on your app; this is where you have the chance to get them back. Of course, since nothing can ever be easy for anyone, RNG gets to decide how quickly that happens...
Furthermore, there's also a chance that the regain you get back won't necessarily be yours. That's also a distinct possibility that we won't deny. Good thing you're on such good terms with everyone here, right?
The percentages shake down something like this: You have a 10% chance of getting a regain – either yours or someone else's, every time you roll. There's an 80% chance you'll get something random. As for the remaining 10%...well. You'll have to roll and see what that remaining percentage might contain, won't you?

What's this about renewable items? ↴
One out of your five items can be renewable – that is, they have the potential to fall out of the machine more than one time. They can be consumable things like food, candy, liquor or cigarettes; they can also be things like yarn, socks, underwear, stuffed toys, whatever you like!
I got an item that isn't mine - what do I do with it? ↴
Whatever your character would do with it! Give it back, eat it, set it on fire, whatever you want. You might want to work it out with whomever it belongs to, but...really, it's your choice.
Can we stack coins to help our odds? ↴
Unfortunately, no. I mean, if you have a surplus of them and you want to shove them in the machine all willy-nilly then no one's going to stop you, but it's not going to increase your chances of getting a regain. But maybe you'll be rewarded for jamming in twenty at once, who knows! ...Or maybe you'll just screw up the machine. You'll never know until you try, right?
Do our coins expire? ↴
You can redeem your coins whenever you want; in other words, the threads you submit don't have to all be from the current week!
Can we use our coins to opt out of death rolls? ↴
That, my friends, would be bribery, and it's highly frowned upon by the Wordsmith. If you can't be present for a given week that you've been selected to die, you can ask the mods to reschedule, but there are no true opt-outs or safety nets of that sort.
CONGRATULATIONS
1 - 014. Chocolate-Chip Jerky
Smoked meat covered with chocolate chips. It was created as a non-perishable food by a chef who specialized in unusual food combinations. It’s not a combination you’d really want to make.
2 - 046. Genius Author Fountain Pen
A fountain pen used by a late, great novelist. The soul of the novelist dwells within it, and no matter who uses the pen, they can only write this same sentence. “I am no longer human.”
3 - 031. Luwak Coffee
Made from coffee beans taken from the feces of the Indian Civet. It has a unique fragrance, and is one of the most rare and expensive in the world.
4 - 005. Torcat Drawers
New pant-style undergarments from the gothic lolita fashion brand “Wonder Dungeon”.
5 - 040. Endless Dandelion
A toy dandelion. It’s fun to blo~w the seeds away. The flying seeds have a thin thread still connecting them, so you can wind them back up and have as much fun as you want.
6 - 076. Maidenly Carry-On Bag
You’ll definitely want to take this with you if you ever go to “Maiden Doar”, the popular spot for buying female-oriented goods and doujin works.
7 - 025. Tea of Mourning
A gift from Alani. A bag of tea roughly the size of a pillow. The tea made with it tastes very bitter, but maybe you’re into that sort of thing?
8 - 001. Salt
A basic seasoning mostly taken from seawater. Has various uses, such as flavoring or preserving food.
9 - 074. Roller Slippers
Slippers with wheels in the heels. They were invented so that one could move around comfortably in their own home, even though nobody ever asked for such a thing.
10 - 058. Mr. Stapler
A stapler made for medical care. If you set specialized pins into it, you can close up any wound just like slammin’ a comic book shut.
