Shop Atmosphere

“Professor Quinn alternates between enthusiastic lectures on levitation distillation curves and sudden, single-minded soldering. He will happily trade complex barters mid-sentence; a clockwork sparrow in return for a vial is not unusual. Liria, Quinn's taciturn assistant, silently re-shelves mislabeled bottles, produces neat typed receipts, and tags anything with 'DO NOT TOUCH' the moment Quinn begins an invention. The shop's copper pipes patter with faint lights when rare potions are present, and a tiny brass-vial bell rings whenever a new delivery arrives. Expect experimental 'improvements' on bottles: whistles, pressure gauges, or a whiskered clockwork moth stitched into the stopper.”
