Regains (R3)

[bathymetric]

What is this?

This is the vending machine, sometimes referred to as The Regain Hole! Located in scenic The Helios Suites Lobby, the Vending Machine stands tall, proud, and inviting! Characters get coins throughout the week and put them in, and a couple times a week the mods will slide in and decide what they get out of the experience! Items range from things your character might recognize from home, things your character might recognize from someone else, and... mostly it's just weird junk.

Wait, coins?

Yup, coins! In character, there's no good explanation for why they show up, but every once in a while a number of silver coins, about the size of an American Silver Dollar, appear overnight, neatly stacked by a character's bedside table or windowsill. Out of character, these coins are your reward for meeting and going above and beyond the call of duty in terms of threads! 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), you can link that thread here and be rewarded with an appropriate number of coins!

Up to ten coins can be redeemed per comment, but not per regain period - multiple comments are allowed, more than ten just becomes a little unwieldy on the mod end. Please do not edit your comments to add more coins! Just make another, it's fine. Generally, regains will be processed twice a week, but if there are delays or changes we'll let you know.

Can I get stuff from home back here?

Why, yes you can! Every roll has a chance to drop a character regain, either from your character or from another - though most of the time it'll be from a unique pool of very special and very useful items chosen by... well, someone must have picked them.

What if my character gets a regain from someone else's character?

Well, in that case, do whatever your character would with it! You might want to let the other player know for courtesy, of course, and work something out if they would rather your character not like... eat it, but ultimately it's your choice.

Do coins expire?

Nope! You can keep backtagging a thread on Week 1 until the final week and turn it in then, it's your call.

What if I expire?

In the unfortunate event of your character's planned death, I highly encourage you to turn in coins anyway! Your characters final coins will be distributed as possible between their threading partners.

Are there threads that don't count for coins?

Yep! Any thread in an investigation, a trial, or private threads with NPCs is disqualified from counting for coins, but most everything else is fair game! You can even use threads both for AC and regains!

Can I submit a thread again if I already got coins for part of it, but it got longer?

Yep! Just make sure to note so, and start the thread when you link it just after the last multiple of five - don't want any of your comments going to waste, after all!

34. Charlie Pants - A doll of a just wildly creepy-looking clown.
32. Bootleg Bear Plush - A plush of some strange bear that’s black on its right side and white on its left, with one poorly-stitched red eye. Who is he? Why is he here? He has a terrible aura...
59. VILE-Brand Pen - A souvenir waterproof pen with the acronym VILE on it. Great for signing checks!
70. “Deluxe Letter Opener” - A one-and-a-half handed sword of decent make! For when you want to go Medieval on someone.
55. Pep Bar - Sort of a combination energy and candy bar? Guaranteed to put a pep in your step!
52. Funko Pop - A Funko Pop of one of your loved ones, namely Allie! Collect them all!
25. Bathrobe - A cheap deep red bathrobe, for when you want to look classy in your study but you just aren’t the kind of person with money for things like “a study” or “books” or “quality fabric.”
Gold Dog Tag - A relatively tiny tag with identification information on it in the form of a long, intricate number. This belongs to some Renan soldier assigned to the lord of Ganath Haros. (Courtesy of Obi)
20. Blobfish Kigurumi - No one asked for this. No one needed to bring this into the world.
49. At-Home Planetarium - A glass ball that lights up and projects stars! Doesn’t work if the room is too big or if the lights are on, though.


BONUS COINS (Courtesy of Obi):
Black Katana - It is a rather long blade that is pitch black with a relatively decorated golden and obsidian-colored hilt. It looks fit for anyone who'd dare call themselves a 'Lord', for example, on a certain planet called Dahna.
69. A Cool Refreshing Beverage - Nice!
12. Live Bait - A styrofoam cup just… full of worms. In case you want to go fishing, or pull a really mean prank!
