As the traveler went in, he was greeted by the glittering glow of brass, copper and lacquer. Ark has stepped right into the crown jewel of the building: the Emporium itself. The place displayed music boxes of all types: from the classic barrel system to the newer disc system or music roll, from the pocket-sized displayed in cabinets to those as big as closets, some are featured in mugs or as clocks and storage recepticles, from the simple comb to automatic instruments. Some are simple, some elaborately painted, encrusted or carved. In addition, there are replacement barrels, discs and rolls for a variety of additional tunes displayed separately. Each product has a sign nearby which indicates the number of times one should crank for a demonstration of their tunes, from 3 to 5 cranks. For the disc music boxes, there’s an extra line saying “PULL THE LEVER” as to inform that extra task to activate them. Because of the work that took to build many of the pieces, it was important that they be protected from thieves, therefore a security system of traps has been installed to the individual boxes in case they are taken from their position or overcranking  the number stated(which could damage the music box’s system). This room was also the home to Callia, Bane’s goose, who has a tendency to be aggressive towards strangers and it was no surprise for her to be creeping among the displays while hissing and squawking at Ark, prepared to snap at him at any time if he did anything stupid.

Bane, despite in the middle of a tune, had also noticed the disturbance to the peace of his house through the tinking of his doorbell. This had never happened before and he didn’t remember revealing the workshop’s location to anyone, not even the customers. But he had to find out, no matter what, if it’s thieves, they wouldn’t be getting away under his watch. He grabbed the old banyan from the peg on his bedroom door and quickly walked downstairs to catch a glimpse of the happenings, looking down as he tip-toed as to not catch any attention, stopping just before getting into view and sneakily observed in the shadows.
