merchandise booth (regains)

[stagemanagers]

So what is this?
The Concession Stand located in the eastern hallway also sells show merchandise! This is 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.

I have a thread with an NPC. Can I submit that too?
Yes! As long as it's in a public post (ex. a weekly log or afterparty) those are acceptable.

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. Pom-Poms: A pair of red and white cheerleading pom-poms. Hurrah!

2. Stage Hand Clothes: A set of entirely black clothing, including extremely quiet black sneakers. Meant to help you move silently and unseen in the dark.

3. Maglite: A pen-sized flashlight. For some reason, the light inside is blue.

4. Utility Belt: A belt perfect for hanging various tools and implements on. It's even got a roll of duct tape already attached!

5. A Chess Board: A simple chess board. For some reason it makes you want to run away.

6. Red Vines: Share one with your new best friend. Red Vines- What the hell can't they do?!

7. Green Puppet: A green puppet in a gray hoodie. It seems too complex for one person.

8. Glo Tape: Glow in the dark tape. Makes it easy to hit those marks during a blackout!

9. 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.

10. Neeps and Tatties: A Scottish comfort dish of mashed turnips and potatoes with herbs.

11. Glo Tape: Glow in the dark tape. Makes it easy to hit those marks during a blackout!

12. French Flag: A large French flag on a long flagpole. Seems like it'd be fun to wave around.

13. Cubed Trousers: A pair of inexplicably square pants.

14. Coca-cola: An old-fashioned glass bottle of Coke. It's still frosty!

15. Rainbow Fantasy Jacket: A coat of many colors! It is red and yellow and green and brown and blue...

16. Herbal Tea: A box of herbal tea. It's supposed to be very good for easing stressed vocal chords!

18. Chocolate Chip Cookie: Wow, this place has pretty good concessions! This cookie has the perfect distribution of chips.

19. B-Team: A black and white satin letterman jacket. It has a big white B on the back! I wonder what it stands for?

20. Two Silver Coins: Two silver coins, to pay the ferryman.

21. Striped Scarf: A long striped scarf. Wearing it makes you look very Bohemian.

22. Crystals: You've found your frequency! These pretty denim-colored crystals speak to you. What do they say? "Buy more crystals."

23. Creme Brulee: Creamy custard with a hard sugar top! Someone baked a lot of love in this.

24. Enchanted Rose: A rose in a glass container that glows with a faint pink light. It looks magical, but on closer inspection, it's actually battery-powered.

25. The Ultimate Treasure: A pair of tickets, apparently to a show called Hamilton. The vending machine slides them over with an odd air of reverence.

26. Grizabella the Glamour Cat: A bedraggled and worn gray cat plushie. The tag around her neck reads "Grizabella".

27. Milky White: The cow as white as milk - now in adorable plush doll form! There's a tiny bell hanging around her neck.
