merchandise booth (regains) [act 2]

[stagemanagers]

So what is this?
The Merchandise Booth is a weird, slightly creepy booth in a corner of the Lobby. It’s a place where characters can obtain items, both strange and familiar! ICly, characters will wake up to find coins deposited on their vanity from time to time. These can be traded here for a randomly selected item.

What are these coins?
ICly, they’re just unmarked coins of no recognizable origin. OOCly, coins are awarded for every five comments from your character in a thread. Multiple increments in one thread for multiple coins ARE allowed up to five, or 25 comments!

Any threads between 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 showrunner are eligible for coins as well, but the one catch to this is that private conversations and letters do not count – the thread must take place in public

Why should I buy your weird merch?
What, besides cool new stuff? Well, okay.

This is where you have the chance to get those five regains you put down in your app. It's all up to the RNG, of course, and you may even end up getting someone else's belongings instead. You’ve got a 10% chance of getting a regain, yours or someone else’s, with every coin submitted, so keep those threads a-comin’!

Renewable items?
One out of your five items can be renewable – that is, they have the potential to come out of the booth more than one time. They can be consumable things like food, candy, liquor or cigarettes; they can also be things like yarn, socks, whatever you like!

Do coins expire? Do my coins have to be from this week?
Eligible threads don't expire! For example, you can still submit week 1 and intro log threads after week 1 ends.

My threadmate turned in our thread already. Do I have to turn it in too to get a coin?
Yep!

The character I was threading with died. Can I still get paid for interacting with them?
WHY NOT. Dead characters can no longer redeem coins, but you living do whatever you want.

What’s this I hear about song rewards?
Excellent question! Threads which include a song can be redeemed for one additional free coin! Only song participants get this bonus, so if your character didn’t sing, the thread will be worth the normal amount of coins. On the other hand, all song participants get a bonus, so a duet will result in extra coins for both performers!

When you have a thread long enough to be redeemed, comment below with a link to the thread. Please include the number of comments and, if possible, number of total coins, from your character in each thread you submit. The mods will respond with sweet loot accordingly.

1. Red Wig - A curly red wig. Wearing it makes you feel hopeful.
2. Compact - A small compact mirror for applying makeup on the go. This will always help you look your best!
3. Hot Pocket - A Limited Edition Jean Valjean Memorial Flavor hot pocket! It's fresh out of the microwave, but it will not burn your mouth because it believes in mercy and forgiveness. Apparently the memorial flavor is ham.
4. Ukulele - A small ukulele with flowers printed on the body. It has a pretty good sound, if you've got an ear for that!
5. Compact - A small compact mirror for applying makeup on the go. This will always help you look your best!
6. Top Hat and Cane - A black top hat with a matching cane. You could probably perform a nice dance number with them.
7. Hot Pocket - A Limited Edition Jean Valjean Memorial Flavor hot pocket! It's fresh out of the microwave, but it will not burn your mouth because it believes in mercy and forgiveness. Apparently the memorial flavor is pumpkin.
8. Stabbing Knife - A knife that's perfect for stabbing someone! Except...the blade is dull, and retracts back into the handle when pressed upon. Maybe you can fake a stabbing.
9. Dry ice - A lump of vaguely smoking ice in a plastic bag. Just add water and you get some very convincing fog! I wouldn't recommend putting it in your cocktail though unless you like the taste of burning. Handle with gloves.
10. Duct tape - This thick black tape is the key to holding together any show!
11. Roses - A bouquet of red roses for a job well-done.
12. The Lyin' King - A soft lion-skin rug. Take a load off, have a nap, watch out for wildebeests.
13. I Hate My Husband Pie - A bittersweet chocolate pie drowned in caramel. It tastes delicious but it leaves you feeling a little miserable afterwards.
14. Tony - A small medal on a pedastal. Congratulations; you've won!
