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?
School Uniform
This outfit isn’t appropriate for school! You should be sent to the principal’s office.
Maid Uniform
Everyone wants a maid dress, right?
Kyrie's Coat
Makes you look incredibly stylish! Who wouldn’t want one?
Lab Coat
This either belongs to a doctor or a scientist, but either way it’s professional.
Junior Ranger Scouts Uniform
While absolutely adorable, this little uniform doesn’t look like it would fit anyone here.
Chessboard
A simple chessboard. Good to sharpen up your mind.
Mystery Mask
A mask worn by a villain in a famous swashbuckling action play. Adds an aura of mystery to the wearer.
Muzzle
It’s a muzzle. Please don’t use it, that’s rude.
Collar
A spiky collar for those confident, assertive types. Use it as a headband or bracelet if you want to!
Black Dog's Tail
Wear it right and this could look more like a cat's tail. Wait, no it couldn't. Sorry!
Police Badge Stickers
A sheet of stickers that mimic police badges. This might be cute if there were kids around to enjoy them.
Child's Drawing
A cute drawing showing a woman who appears to be Kyrie, an unfamiliar man, and a red-haired girl.
"Wool" Rug
The price tag on it says $1,200 but considering the fact that it’s made from the fur of a skunk’s butt, it’s probably not worth that much.
Glasses
A pair of perfectly ordinary-looking glasses. Their lenses don't actually seem to do anything?
Witch Hat
Perfect for a costume party, but probably not very practical otherwise.
Rubble
A small part of the remains of… something. Who put rocks and debris in the machine?
Carrots For One
A frozen dinner with a single, shriveled up carrot inside. Be sure to microwave thoroughly!
Sandwich
Tomato, lettuce, and croquette sandwich, in a helpfully portable bag.
Pawpsicles
Individually wrapped popsicles in the shape of adorable paws! Don’t you want to buy more?
Red Stones
A small set of red crystals. They're small, unfaceted, and not suitable for jewelry without a lot of finishing, but they're transparent and pretty even if they don't do anything special.
