Shop Atmosphere

The shop is dim, filled with curling smoke and the steady tick of tiny gears. A brass automaton behind the counter counts change in an off-key sing-song. Bargains are sometimes paid in curios or favours; Thimblewick always offers a free warming cup of black engine-tea that stains your lips.
