Shop Atmosphere

“Brass Menagerie smells of oiled leather, nutmeg, and a faint ozone tang. Gears chitter overhead and tiny steam vents hiss in time with sentimental music. Professor Eveline is fond of haggling in riddles and will often let a pet 'approve' a sale — if a chosen animal refuses to approach you, expect a 10% discount or an odd favor before purchase. A clockwork raven named 'Ledger' perches by the register and 'records' transactions with a dramatic clack; Ledger occasionally offers unsolicited advice (and tiny discounts) if you bring him shiny things.”
