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.

CONGRATULATIONS

[stagemanagers]

1. Turn Off the Lawsuit: A plastic neck brace with a an almost illegible signature starting with a "P" (but maybe an "R") scribbled on it in black sharpie.
2. Red Opera Gloves: A pair of long satin gloves that are perfect for a night out at the opera! These ones would be good at hiding stains...you know, from tomato juice or something.
3. Green Puppet: A green puppet in a gray hoodie. It seems too complex for one person.
4. Yellow Wig: The hair as yellow as corn. It's a blonde wig of enormous length. How could anyone possibly have hair this long?
5. Grammy: A small medal on a pedestal. Congratulations; you've won!
6. Black Hat: A pointed black hat. It's really sharp - and you know what they say. Black is this year's pink!
7. Neeps and Tatties: A Scottish comfort dish of mashed turnips and potatoes with herbs.
8. Crown: A golden crown fit for a king! It's made of plastic, but it would look good on a stage.
9. Bandage Wrap: A cloth bandage wrap used to treat wounds. It's bright white, so you can see it even from the back of the house.
10. Herbal Tea: A box of herbal tea. It's supposed to be very good for easing stressed vocal chords!
11. Red Wig: A curly red wig. Wearing it makes you feel hopeful.
12. Full of Beans: A can with a simple blue label, with blue lettering on a white field. It is, as the label implies, full of beans.
13. Odd Telephone: An odd black telephone. If you pick it up, you can hear a chorus of voices on the other end asking for "Bobby" in a variety of different ways. They won't respond to anything you say.
14. Cubed Trousers: A pair of inexplicably square pants.
15. Razor: A silver straight razor. While it looks extremely real, trying to slice throats will only yield plastic burns.
16. Gorgeous Breastplate: A thin golden breastplate. It's made of real metal, but seems to fasten onto the body with glittery pink ribbons
17. Utility Belt: A belt perfect for hanging various tools and implements on. It's even got a roll of duct tape already attached!
18. Edelweiss: A small white flower contained in a glass vial. It'll greet you every morning.
19. Old-timey Radio: A radio with a retro exterior but state-of-the-art technology inside. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
20. Jacket: A jacket heavily modified with paint and patches in a seemingly random but very thorough sort of way. Perfect for an artistic sort of girl!
21. Hair Flower: A bright pink flower hair pin.
22. Tom Jones Cutout: Place him in front of a mic for an instant guest performer. Warm the audience up with a beautiful recording of "Delilah"!
23. Fun Home Flyer: An advertisement for the Bechdel Funeral Home. You think that's where your friends' bodies went?
24. Prop Deer: A life-sized, fake deer. A dark aura lurks behind its plastic eyes.
25. Death Note: A black notebook with the words DEATH NOTE written across the front. The first page reads "The human whose name is written in this note shall die." Luckily (or unluckily) it's just an ordinary, if edgy, notebook.
26. Black Opera Gloves: A pair of long satin gloves that are perfect for a night out at the opera! These ones are black, like your soul.
27. 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.
28. Don Juan Triumphant: The book and music to a show called "Don Juan Triumphant".
29. French Flag: A large French flag on a long flagpole. Seems like it'd be fun to wave around.
30. Crystals: You've found your frequency! These pretty purple, blue and pink crystals speak to you. What do they say? "Buy more crystals."
31. Black Coffee: Get your cup of roasted coffee, your morning cup of Joey~.
32. Purple Colored Contact: Just what you need to change your boring eyes to something beautiful and ideal! Unfortunately, it’s a single, not a set… One’s better than none, right?
