The vending machine near the foyer is a bit of a rickety thing, but it works as good as any! 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 such as the Conductor are eligible for coins as well, but the one caveat to this is that private conversations and letters 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...
Of course, 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 else. 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, 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, 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. Maybe you'll be rewarded for jamming in twenty at once, who knows. ...Or maybe you'll just screw up the machine. That's also a possibility. It's old, be gentle.
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 Conductor. If you can't be present for a given week if 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 - 075. Multi-Sided Dice Set
A set of dice with 4, 6, 12 and 20 faces.
2 - 090. Trollblight
A gift from Logan. A massive warhammer designed to utterly ruin trolls' day, despite the fact that everyone knows you don't fight trolls with melee weapons.
3 - 089. Royal Guard's Spear
A gift from Undyne. A metal spear, sharp enough for use as a traditional polearm but light enough to throw at your enemies.
4 - 046. Elevator Boots
Boots with thickened insoles, to obfuscate your height.
5 - 022. Caterpillar-kun
A hairy caterpillar toy that’s all the rage. By pulling the thin string coming from the tip, you can move it around as if it’s alive.
6 - 070. Lascivious Wonders of Nature
Alcohol-free sake. Even though it’s alcohol-free, you still get drunk off it.
7 - 057. Plated Hollow-Point Bullets
A gift from Reaver. A boxed set of high-quality bullets used for target shooting, designed for greater accuracy...as well as stronger bullet strength and expansion upon impact to maximize damage. Too high-caliber for the Golden Gun, but they're pretty.
8 - 005. Plugsuit
A gift from Asuka. A skintight plugsuit. God knows how you're supposed to wear the thing.
9 - 079. Tea Cup
A tea cup from the Royal Wood luxury brand. It’s said that when you use this tableware, even ordinary water feels sweet.
