Shop

The front counter of the showroom. Everything on it is the display model, and you take the display model home. It doesn’t mind.

Prices are in sardines for playing, thimbles for learning and marbles for finding things. They can’t be bought, swapped or seen by anyone else. Nothing here costs money.

The Assistant will be with you shortly.

  • Ferrule, asleep on the counter

Returns

Mrs Ledger, ahead of you in the queue. She spent eleven years finding this desk. She doesn’t work here.

The returns desk is at the back, past the stockroom. There is a bell, which nobody answers. Leave the item on the desk and take your price back: anything goes back for everything it cost, any time.
