Shop Atmosphere

The shop smells faintly of oil and bergamot. A constant hiss of steam comes from patched pipes along the ceiling. Holographic trade tags are replaced with hand-scribed brass plates; a sleepy mechanical parrot made from polished copper sits on the counter and mimics customers' purchase totals in a squeaky alto. The walls are lined with nets, coils of rope, brass gauges and glass vials. Conversations are punctuated by the thump of the airship's engine and the occasional clang as the proprietor tests a newly refitted gadget.
