 Before you is an unusual building in the heart of town. It stands on stilts that lift it a floor or so above the rest of the shops in the busting marketplace. Additionally it's wrapped around a very large but very dead tree to give it support, which allows the building to have a second floor above the shop and what looks to be a bedroom, plus some strange looking balconies. The whole thing (including the tree) is painted brightly, but it's mostly very, very blue. Below it there is a nice set of patio furniture and an angry sign warning off peddlers who wish to sell their wares in the shade. Next to the lounge chair is a metal spiral staircase that looks as if it were meant to fold up and be pulled into the room above. A sign hanging next to the stairs proclaims "Bagatelle of Murzim" and points upwards with an elaborate arrow.
As you step onto the stairs, they creak and whine, but they hold until you can get into the actual store. Like the outside, there is a lot of blue, mostly in the form of blue objects strewn about the room. Despite being cluttered, it's very clean. A youngish pennier with blue wings and navy hair looks up at you from the workbench he's bent over with many alien parts lying across it. His eyes are covered by some ridiculous looking goggles.
"Hello there, welcome to Bagatelle of Murzim. Look around, don't be afraid to touch, I've got everything dangerous safely behind the counter."
He goes back to his work, but continues to glance up at his visitor as you venture further into the room.
"I'm sure you'll find something that suits you, but if your tastes are very specific just come talk to me."

COMMON STOCK UPGRADES "Give your old family heirloom that extra boost. Choose what you want the bonus to go to (melee, ranged or magic) and then choose a boost of 1, 2 or 3 points.

EFFECT For cleaner retrieval of foreign objects ingested by puddings.

RARE STOCK EXPERIMENTS AND CURIOSITIES "Blah blah." NAME Forever Fern
EFFECT Decoration that doesn't need watering.
PRICE 2 sapphire gems.
STATUS 1/1 in stock.
This tiny potted fern is said to be indestructible... or at the very least it doesn't need to be watered. It smells a little funny, but it's a lovely shade of green, even when Auguste sets it outside in the cold to prove it's durability.
NAME Eagle Eye
EFFECT Telescopic vision.
PRICE 10 sapphire gems
STATUS 2/2 available.
This innocent looking monocle holds a secret. As soon as one puts it to their eye, it's as if they're looking through a powerful telescope. A small dial on the side can be used to adjust the focus.
NAME Candle of Truth
EFFECT When lit, no one within 10 feet can lie.
PRICE 2 sapphire gems each
STATUS 5/5 in stock
A short, stout blue candle that smells like berries when it burns. Those who come too close will find lying all but impossible. TRANSPORTATION "Blah blah." NAME Flying Carpet
TRAITS Flight for long distances at a maximum altitude of 15ft. Can carry up to 3 passengers of average human weight.
PRICE 3 star gems
STATUS Available
An elaborate, exotic looking carpet rolled up in the corner and tied with a rope that seems to be magically sealed. "Imported Genuine Flying Carpets" the sign proclaims. As you touch the fancy rug, it twitches.
NAME Broomstick
TRAITS Flight for long distances at a maximum altitude of 40ft. More that one passenger makes flying dangerous and difficult.
PRICE 3 star gems
STATUS Available
A plain looking old broom that hangs on the wall. A tag hanging from it explains that it's a flying broom, appropriate for not just witches. Travel made convenient, and it can also be used to sweep the floor. It looks as if Auguste might have tidied up with it a couple times.
NAME Apparatus of the Crab
TRAITS It's a giant mechanical crab made of an iron barrel that can attack for you. (Attacks with a bonus of +10 to your dice, gives a +3 to defense as long as you're inside it. Capable of swimming, can support one person underwater for an hour. Generally very slow with poor dexterity.)
PRICE 5 star gems
STATUS 1/1 available.
This is a very strange looking machine parked on the balcony directly in front of the shop. It's a large iron barrel on it's side with slots in the front and a hatch on top. Most unusually, though, it has mechanical legs and nasty looking bladed pincers. The effect is quite nightmarish. Inside, there's enough room for one passenger, and there are an assortment of levers and switches while a guide book rests on the seat. It looks more like a lobster than a crab, but whatever.

ORDERING INFORMATION To order a bonus equip, please feel free to roleplay with the shopkeeper, but be sure to include the following order form OOCly: Order Form Item: What are you ordering? Recipient: Who is it for - your character or someone else's? Other Service: Any upgrades being purchased? Cost: What does the total come to? The shopkeeper will confirm your order and your bank account will reflect the transaction. Enjoy your new equipment!
ADDITIONALLY! Auguste offers a special service of ordering unique items. If you have a specific magical item in mind, you can contact him via PMing his player (earthkid) with a detailed description of what you want your item to do. Or, if you'd rather, you can roleplay the request in the shop with Auguste himself and get the opportunity to try and convince him to attempt items that he'd be unlikely to make. Either way, you'll get a response in return as to whether or not it's acceptable. One request will be accepted per week, and it will show up in the shop the following week. The person who ordered the item will have it reserved for them for fourteen days before it can be purchased by anyone, but you may be able to convince Auguste to hold it for a little longer if money is tight. Be ready for the item to potentially come out a little different than how you ordered it from time to time.
