Shop Atmosphere

“The Neon Lament opens only after dusk — Mirelle fixes the lock and flips a neon crow into the gutter outside as a sign. The shop sits on a narrow, salt-sprayed alley near the east docks; inside are stacked crates, glass jars of bioluminescent goo, and a faint ozone tang. Mirelle conducts certain sales with no receipts and will only trade some contraband with a whispered password or a favor. She hums an old sea-song when she haggles and always offers a cup of bitter kelp tea while you browse. Locals swear the shop sometimes seems to rearrange itself when the tide is high — useful if you search for something you didn't come in for.”
