A Memory of Starlight [IC]
#8

After managing to put out the fire, Vannah entered into a (comparatively) small shop in the heart of the market. Around her were thousands of shiny, beautiful machine parts of brass and iron, all intricately designed, imported, and displayed among the patrons and the shopkeepers. She was dumbfounded; every time she went into the building, there were always new and amazing contraptions that were added to the store's collection. She often would spend time just to gaze at the machines and come up with all sorts of ways to do things. Her love for machines ultimately grew in passion every time she entered here.

Focus, Vannah. You're here for only a few things. Don't waste your entire budget like last time. 

After giving herself a "pep" talk to avoid buying tangential and unnecessary beasts of human intelligence, she wandered about through the intricate layout which she had practically memorized. Hundreds, if not thousands of gears were present, all shining in different metallic hues and shades, displaying a brilliance she had to ultimately resist. She took out the gears and parts she needed to replace, and concentrated on finding the right gears. 

Finding everything came naturally to her, as her frequent visits allowed a unique understanding of the sorting system among the categories and litanies of parts. She navigated the maze of innovation with a hard-as-steel desire to meet her needs and nothing else. Her distractions nearly costed her an additional 20 minutes of searching. 

After finally finishing her search, there was still one piece that needed to be hand-repaired by the shop itself, due to nobody else making the part. A small wheel, made to spin a notated and fastened piece of cloth for the vocal recordings of Vannah's voice, needed to be repaired due to the shaft it was held on breaking off. 

As she approached the shopkeep, she caught wind of another patron's conversation: 

Only small clips of what she heard, "temple", "going to discover the truth", and "important discovery" caught her ears and interest.
