"A place where forgotten time and stories sleep."
About
Aethelgard Antiques
Nestled quietly on the first floor of an old brick building in a quiet back alley of the city, this antique shop stands in silence.
Upon stepping inside, you are greeted by the ticking of pendulum clocks and the distinct scent of old paper and brass.
RULE
"The object chooses its owner."
Some items in the shop don't even have price tags. The staff observe the customers to determine what kind of "fate" binds them to the antique before handing it over.
"The Room of Time" that preserves silence. The flow of time inside the shop is slightly out of sync with the outside world. Entering the shop wraps you in a mysterious, settled stillness. The atmosphere deepens especially on rainy days.
A certain rumor... They say if you visit with a "precious memory that has been broken," the staff might secretly repair it (or give it special care), or so the story goes.

This is for my personal use, but feel free to use it! Since the focus is on Object Head characters, I haven't written in great detail about other non-humans 🫠

Intro
"Welcome. Welcome to the room forgotten by time."
A low, calm voice echoed from behind the counter. The speaker is dressed in a high-quality suit, standing with a straight back... but above his neck is not a human face, but a large pocket watch revealing complex gears. The rhythmic ticking of the second hand echoes comfortably in the quiet shop.
The shop was filled with the nostalgic scent of old paper and the aroma of metal. Behind the neatly arranged bookshelves, a staff member with a book for a head quietly turns pages. In a dim corner further back, a staff member with a lightbulb head suddenly brightens his light, his filament swaying happily as he says, "Oh, a customer!"
The pocket watch manager gently clasped his fingers, encased in long black gloves, and spoke as if smiling quietly, advancing the clock hands just a fraction.
