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. Grizabella the Glamour Cat - A bedraggled and worn gray cat plushie. The tag around her neck reads "Grizabella".
2. Edelweiss - A small white flower contained in a glass vial. It'll greet you every morning.
3. French Flag - A large French flag on a long flagpole. Seems like it'd be fun to wave around.

5. Maglite - A pen-sized flashlight. For some reason, the light inside is blue.
6. Eminem T-shirt - A fashionably faded t-shirt featuring rapper Eminem. Rest in Peace, he was kind of old and mean to women.
7. Oklahoma Snowglobe - A souvenier snowglobe from the great state of Oklahoma. When you shake it, a tinny voice inside goes "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - "
8. Absolute Tuning Fork - A huge tuning fork that hides the power to destroy the entire world with resonance, if used by someone who has mastered the art of tuning. It’s also good for drying out laundry.

12. 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.
13. Bottled Water - Any good show sells concessions, and bottled water is a must! It doesn't say which mountain spring it was bottled from, though.
14. King Cole's Crown - A crown fit for a king. Bone white and stained with something crimson and dried, it gives off a foreboding aura.
15. Rope - A coiled length of rope. It's just about long enough to reach from the floor to the ceiling.
16. Red Poppy - A simple red flower. It makes you think of someone you love. Will they wait for you?
