Bonus Items

Bonus!!!!!
Because there's no conventional activity check in Jikan, every player just earns one Bonus Item per month. These are completely optional. ICly, these items are either purchased, gifted by scientists or native Nippon-jin, found lying around somewhere, or outright stolen.
Bonus AC can be submitted at any time during the month, and will be processed before the 1st of the following month. You may use your item the moment it is processed.
There are two options for deciding what kind of bonus you receive:
Normal Bonus AC
Comment with the current month in the subject and link up to five threads to receive an item from the equivalent tier. For example, if you want to choose a 5-Star item, you must submit 5 threads. If you want a 3-Star item, you must submit three threads. You do not need to submit extra threads beyond that amount!
Each thread must have at least 3 comments from you in the current month. You can reuse the same thread as many times as you like, as long as there are three recent comments from you on the thread. Threads can come from anywhere related to the game: logs, network, TDM, or inbox. If including the top-level as one of the comments, please specify.
Gacha Bonus AC
For those who are indecisive or otherwise addicted to gacha games, all you need to do is leave a comment down below with the current month in the subject, and RNG will decide your fate! A number will be rolled to determine which items you can receive, based on a probability system outlined below. You may choose an item from the tier you roll or lower. For example, if you roll a 3-star item, you can pick a 3-Star, 2-Star, or 1-Star item.
Please note that once you have received your result, you will not be allowed to switch to Normal AC for the same month, so keep this in mind when selecting this option!
For 4-Star and 5-Star items, make sure to reply with which item you are selecting!
Please note that the inclusion of small story blurbs for 4 and 5 star items is dependent upon how busy I am at a given time, and may or may not be included with each reward.
1-Star ☆ 100% chance
These items can also just be found in the setting if your character saves up the money for them. You do not need to say which item you are choosing.
★A bicycle.
★A handmade formal kimono or hakama.
★A high-quality weapon.
★A simple magi-tech weapon, capable of shocking or stunning opponents for a few seconds. May break after a few uses.
★A special salve that instantly heals minor cuts and scrapes.
★A small charm that wards off certain types of harmful ayakashi. Not very effective.
★A VCR to watch movies at home. It even has a rewind feature! The future is now.
★A moderate sum of money.
2-Star ☆☆ 70% chance
These items can only be received through monthly bonuses, but are fairly mundane. You do not need to say which item you are choosing.
★ A gray-colored ring that changes color when Kizuna is detected. This can be used to tell whether the wearer is under the influence of Kizuna side effects. Green is mild, yellow is moderate, and red is severe.
★A non-magical item from home/previous game.
★An updated portable magi-tech communicator with high enough range to work outside cities for up to two hours.
★A potion that can heal even broken bones in minutes.
★Three sheets of Enchanted Fortune Paper. Write your name on it, and hand it to someone to read. If the paper turns pink in their hands, they have a crush on you. If it turns black, they're lying to you about something. If it turns into every color of the rainbow, they've had dirty thoughts about you.
★A cursed bag of potato chips that never gets empty. Why is this a curse, you ask? They're 300 calories per chip and delicious. They make good rations, at least.
★ A seemingly ordinary set of four kitchen knives, one of which causes whoever uses it to become sexually dominant for 24 hours.
★ A seemingly ordinary set of four soup spoons, one of which causes whoever uses it to become sexually submissive for 24 hours.
★ A seemingly ordinary set of four kitchen forks, one of which causes whoever uses it to become sexually aroused for 24 hours.
★A large sum of money.
3-Star ☆☆☆ 50% chance
These items can only be received through monthly bonuses. You do not need to say which item you are choosing, unless you are choosing a plot hint or NPC thread.
★A magical item from home/previous game.
★An opportunity to thread with an available NPC. Please have a subject in mind when choosing this option.
★A hint related to future areas or events. Other characters may receive the same hints.
★An ayakashi curses your character for a week, causing them to lose one sense of your choosing.
★A mysterious potion that changes the physical age of the person who drinks it. Whether they are mentally changed or not is up to you!
★A mysterious potion that changes the physical sex of the person who drinks it. How long the effects last is up to you, within reason!
★A music box capable of playing songs from a person's memories. It has a 1/5 chance of accidentally broadcasting their thoughts instead.
★A bouquet of dreambough flowers. If someone sleeps in the same room as these flowers, they'll share a dream with someone they've bonded with.
★An extremely cursed video tape. If two people watch it together, it'll turn into a porno starring them.

4-Star ☆☆☆☆ 30% chance
These items can only be received through monthly bonuses, and are pretty cool. You must reply with which item you are choosing so you can receive your reward!
★A business license. You must redeem this before your character can open their own official business.
★An ayakashi curses your character for a week, resulting in one random effect.
★A Kizuna-powered shotgun. Because Kizuna is a limitless resource produced by your character through bonds, it will never run out of ammo. The color of the energy bullets fired change color based on the wielder's mood. Weapon type can be slightly customized upon request.
★A Kizuna-powered katana. Because Kizuna is a limitless resource produced by your character through bonds, it will never break or grow dull. The blade's color changes based on the wielder's mood. Weapon type can be slightly customized upon request.
★A pair of mysterious rings that are powered by Kizuna. Ask the ring where the other ring-wearer is, and a small light will emit from the embedded jewel, leading them to the other person's location. It will only work if the two wearers are in love.
★A wristwatch that can suppress 99.9% of mild Kizuna side effects. It cannot suppress moderate effects, and severe side effects will break the device and cause severe side effects to also manifest in anyone around them.
5-Star ☆☆☆☆☆ 10% chance
These items are customized for your character. You must reply with which item you are choosing so you can receive your reward!
★Sora elemental magic is unlocked for your character to start learning.

★A unique steam-powered vehicle designed for your character, which will work even outside of cities.
★A unique magi-tech device designed with your character's needs in mind.
