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? ↴
The vending machine near the foyer is a bit of an old, rickety thing, but it seems to be in working order - and perhaps most importantly, it contains your 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 machine, 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 are eligible for coins as well, but the one caveat to this is that private conversations and texts 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, wear 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, because it's old. But 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 Coordinators. 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 - 052. Bottle of Dragon Piss
Is it alcohol or is it actual dragon piss? We just don’t know.
2 - Locket
A clear, glass locket with two strands of hair woven together inside. Perhaps you should find the owner, it’s probably very important.
3 - 072. Golden Flower Tea
A small box with "Golden Flower Tea" written on it in neat script. It contains some loose-leaf tea.
4 - 054. Skull Tank
Now you can look as fly as the rest of Team Skull, and you didn’t even need to drop the 10,000 pokebucks for it that the rest of the squad did!
5 - 005. Shot Glasses
A pair of triangular shot glasses decorated with lichen blossoms from an alien planet, cultivated by artisan gardeners.
6 - 032. Battle Chapeau
A sporty looking derby. The brim can fall away, and it looks like something was supposed to be stashed in here at one point.
7 - 006. Milk
High-grade local milk. The bottle says it's from the Margaret mega-farm in Oak Tree Town.
8 - 082. Bowie Knife
A gift from the Conductor. A fixed-blade fighting knife, double-edged at the point. Comes with a leather sheath.
9 - 070. Hairspray
This super-strong hairspray is bound to keep your hair in perfect shape all day!
10 - 023. Roasted Chicken
That's right, it's a whole roasted chicken. How is it still hot when you get it out of the machine? Don't ask questions.
