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.
Congratu...lations?
1 - Ice Cream Sandwich
It looks like an adorable cat! It comes in two flavors and it’s also still cold, somehow.
2 - 059. Mesopotamia
A steel toy shaped like a spring. You play with it by dropping it down the stairs. This model, painted bright red, is said to have been created by a giant.
3 - 089. Throwing Knives
A gift from the Wordsmith. A small set of knives weighted for ease of throwing, and designed for the sake of aerodynamics.
4 - 069. Elevator Boots
Boots with thickened insoles, to obfuscate your height.
5 - 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.
6 - 027. Bandages
Cloth meant to stop bleeding and to protect wounds. You can also wrap things in them to express sickly transparency or cruelty.
7 - 036. Toy Camera
A camera made with cheap materials. Thanks to that low quality, its photos are blurry and have strange colors in them, which actually made it more popular.
8 - 028. Eternal Friendship Bracelet
A handmade bracelet made by weaving several threads together. They say that if you create one once, you can never cut it again.
9 - 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.
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.
You've also received an extra item from the machine:
050. Feather Pen
A gift from Christo. A pen with a white feather at the end of it. The feather seems freshly-plucked.
