Oh hey there, welcome to my humble little carveout in this vast wild world.

Sylvan, a man with a brown sideshave and black cyborg hands, gesturing. A dialogue bubble reads "I've got vintage fashion and accessories here in shop. I'm sorry the inventory is a little... low. I'm workin on restocking."


Is it your first time in the shop? Take a look around and see if anything piques your interest! I have vintage fashion, new fashion, all kinds of accessories, a few pawn and consignment items...

Me? Oh, I've been here for a while on level 3 – almost twenty years I think – but it's no surprise you've never heard of my shop. I've been tucked away, so if it's your first time down on the lower levels, you probably wouldn't have heard about my shop being here.

You heard about me from the locals? That's mighty sweet of them. We don't have much down here on the lower levels, but we try to take care of our own when we can. You know how it is, just scraping by and all. *soft laughing*

Silhouettes of a mannequin, shelves, and various bits of fashion hanging off of them.


A robot? You heard there's a robot here? An anomalous robot? That's silly. There's no anomalous bots here. I used to have a helper robot a very long time ago, but there's no bots here now – he's long gone – certainly not any of the anomalous variety. You know it's illegal to knowingly harbor an anomalous bot. I heard they're very um, unpredictable. They don't follow the laws any more so they can be dangerous. I wouldn't want a bot like that putting my customers in any danger. *nervous chuckling*

Nope, no bots here. My friend Inix works here, though. She's a cyborg like me, through and through. Maybe someone mistook her for a robot? I heard some of the newer models you can't even tell the difference. She's not here right now, she's out getting materials for some customs actually, but if you stick around long enough, maybe you'll get to meet her. She's a lovely person and as cute as a button.

Customs? Yeah, you know like, custom fashion design pieces. Made to order, perfectly tailored to fit.
