|Momo ({{DWUser|yesdoubt}})
|2025-07-14
|Luxury treat (special treatment)
|And what Momo receives is... a vending machine. Hopefully he has the space for it, wherever he's living, but it will attempt to turn up in a reasonably convenient nook. Karteria has vending machines, but this doesn't look like them; it's simultaneously futuristic and retro, mildly glowing to itself without even being plugged in.
Does one dare to consume '''The Snacks'''? At a glance, this is easier said than done, as the machine does not interact with the Syntrofos whatsoever, and the symbols on the machine (Instructions? Advertisements?) are unreadable. It only takes specific physical currency- the same sort of coins that turn up in all levels of treat, as it turns out, and it can't be tricked into accepting anything else. Without coins to spend, what does one do? Shaking the machine will not cause anything to fall loose.

Fortunately, once a day the vending machine will abruptly vend one of its items at random. It's a food/drink machine, so there might be chips, cookies, crackers, soda-like beverages, and similar. The labels are bright and colorful, and everything is entirely safe to consume. The flavors are familiar, if not ''quite'' right.

Eating any of these treats provides a minor '''healing effect'''. It is slight; a small wound will heal faster, an itch will depart, a sore back will be a bit less sore. They're not going to cure anyone of illness, and you can't slap a snack cake on a mortal wound, but they will leave the consumer a little better off than before. If there's nothing physically wrong, they will feel ''emotionally better''. Any fur/scales/feathers will come in a little glossier. These boosts will work on anyone who eats them, so Momo is free to share his snacks if he wishes (or if someone comes in and steals them).

There is a month's supply of 'goods' within the vending machine, and it will be restocked once a month. (So if Momo (or anyone else) used treat-currency to empty the thing at once, he could, but he'd have to wait a month for it to refill.)

If coins are ever deposited, there does not be any way of accessing wherever they end up. If a non-appropriate coin-shaped-object is inserted, it will be consumed to no effect. If the machine is broken- such as smashing through the glass-like front- then all the current treats can be accessed at once, but it will no longer refill.

|Eli ({{DWUser|visciousabyss}})
|2025-10-24
|Small Treat, Medium treat
|<blockquote>and I have two PROPOSALS, given that Winter Is Coming and Eli has a plant bf and they only have solar power out in da woods lol. Feel free to edit/add weird quirks to these.
50?- magical woodstove (for heat, & with stovetop for cookin)- maybe clap on/clap off? lmao. powered by magic or katalyth or friendship or Eli's eternal rage or whatever idk
25?- magical sunlamp, perhaps it only works at night, powered same way as stove</blockquote>And both the woodstove/sunlamp sound great, and could be powered as you see fit. But if you'd like, the stove, were it dissected, contains trace amounts of Katalyth artfully twined up in its metals and wiring. It's quite an advanced construction- more complicated than the appliances that can be bought in Karteria (and which surely don't run on Katalyth these days). It's also sufficiently insulated so that it's not going to ruin anyone's mood to be nearby. But it is reactive to emotions in the vicinity, so Eli could very well charge it by being mad in its presence. (All emotional states will provide it energy, and it's quite efficient at converting them.)

(He could also just put actual wood in the woodstove and burn something other than bad feelings.)

(The woodstove also arrives with those valuable coins stuffed inside it. Hopefully Eli finds them before trying to use the thing... but the metal is actually really resistant and would survive being burned by most methods anyway. And cooking it smells awful.)

The sunlamp works similarly to the stove, but as it's smaller, it's less effective in some way, such as only working at night, as suggested, or only able to hold a charge for a few hours at a time before needing to cool down.

|Northly ({{DWUser|northling}})
|2025-11-19
|Luxury Treat
|<blockquote>Luxury treat? Could Northly get some glasses that show basic ''item'' stats and descriptions from her world?
Anything too plot/Karteria specific I figure could get redacted — show up as black bars — and she would never ever use it on a person (apart from a young child, that's a big cultural no-no) but it also wouldn't work on living animals/things equivalent to living animals (aka the plant creatures) but would give things like:<blockquote>'''Rock'''
Class: blunt projectile
Strength: 1
Durability: 3
Alignment: Void
''Simple. Efficient. Classic. Rock.''</blockquote>for a palm sized stone.

Potentially would give other characters from game settings ''their'' version of the stats if they were to wear them?

Idk, I'm flexible! But mostly it would be neat to have Northly occasionally spout silly flavour text.</blockquote>That would count as a luxury treat! But glasses as described, with those caveats/limitations sound entirely doable. And other characters wearing the glasses could have the information translated into their version/style of it, yes!

Miscellaneous things to note: looking at Katalyth through the glasses will display stats (as it is not a living thing or equivalent) but both the categories and any numerical values are completely glitched out. Different pieces of Katalyth will have different glitches, but there's nothing to decipher from them. Rather than redacted, it's like... a completely incompatible format. If it had sound it would be screeching.

Looking at anything in Kelesis: the font will change to something cute and friendly like comic sans. The glasses will continue to 'function', in that stats sure will come up when she looks at things, but the stats are not likely to make ''sense'', and will frequently include emojis. The tone throughout will be enthusiastic and encouraging.

(Additionally, should a player prefer their character or some object related to them be unreadable, then it would be presented as garbled, or redacted text.)

|Momo ({{DWUser|yesdoubt}})
|2025-12-04
|Luxury Treat (special treatment)
|Rather than appear hidden, scattered, or otherwise inconvenient to pick up, all of Momo's coins gather themselves all into one tidy little pile. They're even neatly stacked and organized.

Resting atop the pile is a vase, about 40cm tall. It is... strangely decorated, with the shapes of a whole assortment of small animals molded onto it, making it a rather lumpy entity. All the animals are life-sized, comprised mostly of mice, insects (butterflies and beetles), and sparrow-sized birds. There is no blank space, the entirety of the vase comprised of little animal sculptures(?). It is pure white.

It also comes with an assortment of freshly cut flowers (they can be any sort, real or not, but there's a variety). They are at the peak of blooming, and will remain that way indefinitely, without water or any other intervention. If removed, they will begin to decay at the normal pace. 

In actuality, anything that's put into the vase is kept 'fresh'. Objects (living or dead) are placed into a kind of stasis, sustained in their current state. While it seems to have been designed for the purpose of displaying flowers, it could be used to store other perishables. Being vase-shaped might make this a bit awkward, but it will work. It is reasonably roomy on the inside.

(Does the whole of something have to be in the vase to trigger this effect? No, as indeed the intended flower-use has the blossoming parts extend well above the interior of the vase. However, the greater percentage of the object that's outside the vase, the weaker the effect. Imagine a refrigerator door left open: it's still producing cold, but is unable to cool anything as efficiently as with the door closed.

But so long as something is at least a bit in the vase, its overall condition will be an equivalent amount of maintained.)

For some reason, using the vase leaves a person feeling '''guilty.''' Only a little, and it passes quickly.

|Lauralae ({{DWUser|rakta}})
|2025-12-07
|Luxury Treat (special treatment)
|On one occasion an odd circlet appears instead. Made of some jet-black substance, it's cold to the touch and lightweight. It's very intricately made, the design full of little whorls and knots, details that are only apparent up close.
While it also serves as just a fine piece of jewelry, it also fills the wearer with a '''commanding presence.''' Sometimes, at least. It's potent enough that once per day the wearer can make a request of someone else... and it '''will''' be obeyed. Casual asks will become unassailable demands- insofar as it's possible, at least. Trying to command something physically impossible will fail outright and use up the day's opportunity.  

(There is also something of a time limit on the orders placed. The impetus to complete a task will wear off once it's complete, or an hour has passed. The person set on a task will remember the experience, but in the moment it will feel completely natural and absolutely pressing that they do this specific thing.

It's also one use per day, not per wearer- so it can't be passed around to trigger the same effect repeatedly. It will work for whoever wears it, however.)

|Wriothesly ({{DWUser|trounce}})
|2025-12-16
|Is this even a treat?, Small treat
|<blockquote>1 pair of kitschy whale slippers (2); is it okay if they turn up in this thread...
1 pair of kitschy and even uglier slippers (2)

1 small treat of the ugliest sleepwear set (25)</blockquote>The slippers may absolutely make their entrance (dramatic or otherwise) in a thread, to be appropriately appreciated. 

The other fine pair of slippers and adorable sleepwear can also turn up similarly, or sneak unsuspiciously into Wriothesley's wardrobe, as though they'd been there all along. It's already getting cold out there, so they should hopefully help in warding off the chill.

|Wriothesly ({{DWUser|trounce}})
|2025-12-29
|Luxury Treat (special treatment)
|The glasses arrive perched on top of the other strange gift- that of a heavy, metallic wardrobe. Although textured to look like it was carved (and with plenty of intricate details, at that) from wood, it's cold to the touch and too dense to be naturally anything. While there's plenty of space to store existing clothes, it will also '''manifest entire outfits''' of its own accord. If there's space, it will produce something new every 1-3 days.
The clothing itself is not of great quality. ''Very'' fast-fashion, synthetic. So synthetic, in fact, that it dissolves '''entirely''' within a day or two of being produced. No matter how delicately the material is treated, it will reduce itself to a lump of oddly gooey shreds inside of 48 hours- hopefully not while anyone is wearing it! This trash is meant to be discarded, and has no reusability.

Sizing and style: it will attempt to imitate whatever real clothes are put inside the wardrobe. It may take it a few tries to get it right, and it will never fit as well as the real thing, as though it had been 'standardized' to a shape that's perfect for no one. Without examples, the wardrobe will produce a variety of sizes, all in the shade of utilitarian grey. There will be pants, dresses, robes, shirts- everything you need, as long as you don't need it for long. But why do you need to keep anything around, when it will make something new soon enough?

|Hubert ({{DWUser|bloodypath}})
|2026-01-02
|Luxury Treat (Special Treatment-ish)
|<blockquote>Luxury Treat - Special Treatment-ish. Scorpion-rhino-boy has had a hard time and I would his coldblooded ass to have a blursed self-heating rock of some kind to lay on, please</blockquote>After all he's been through, does Hubert not deserve a warm rock of his very own? 
And he'll find it delivered right inside his very doorstep (''right'' inside, so be careful tripping over it). It is roughly Hubert-sized if not precisely Hubert-shaped (it is rock-shaped). Of a nice sandy color and a pleasing texture, it would invite any lizard (or sensitive rhino-scorpions) to get right to basking. 

Especially because it is already warm and is ''permanently'' warm. Its temperature does fluctuate throughout the day, with it being hottest at night, and less hot during the daytime- but it's always giving off some amount of heat. There does not seem to be any way of adjusting it, or turning it off, but thankfully it never seems to get hot enough to cause injury. 

The marvels of mysterious technology!

|Verso ({{DWUser|versoul}})
|2026-01-08
|Luxury Treat (Special Treatment)
|<blockquote>Special treatment please! But can I request that it involve alcohol? (Considered getting 4 more wine glasses but this is more fun.)</blockquote>Indeed, why settle for a mere four (more) glasses of wine a day (with some accompanying incidental praise) when one could have an entire '''wine fridge'''?

That is, it's a mini-fridge designed to hold wine. It is capable of keeping whatever's placed in it cool (without even being plugged in), but it's made for wine. It even arrives fully stocked! The bottles are all labeled, branded, though it matches nothing that's sold in Karteria (or Kelesis) today. The writing isn't in any familiar language, and they're decorated with artistic representations of mountains, rivers- nature in general. They have logos of dogs, deer, dragonflies. 

Verso is free to empty the fridge at his own pace. As long as there's space in there, one new bottle will appear every week. If the fridge is full (of wine or other cold-seeking objects) it'll skip that week and try again later.

The quality itself: it's good stuff (for those who care to appreciate wine). To anyone who's been drinking from the replenishing wine glasses, they could notice that it's of similar stock. These are just the full bottles. ''Occasionally'', however, a particular bottle will be uncommonly potent. While it will taste similar, it will have a strength closer to that of vodka, or other hard liquor. 

The normal bottles have no extra effect. It's good wine! If anything bad happens it's not their fault! For the special bottles, however... if truth lies in wine, these draughts are the opposite. Anyone who drinks from them (more than a drop, don't need to down a whole glass) will be '''unable to tell the truth for the next hour'''. Shouldn't be a problem for Verso though, right...
