Shop Atmosphere

“Marlowe 'Tick' Voss runs the shop from a soot-streaked storefront cluttered with brass tubing, ticking gauges, and half-assembled automata. He speaks in clipped sentences and small, polite laughs that never reach his eyes. He keeps rarer wares in a locked back cabinet whose brass face reads 'For Trusted Clients Only' — he trusts patrons who pay well and ask the right questions. Tick offers bourbon-smooth hospitality up front but will barter favors, secrets, or 'special requests' for discounts. He sometimes slips in extra ingredients that have unexpected side effects; customers who complain find their coin mysteriously lighter. If pressed, he always says, 'It's all in the winding.'”
