From being an Abandoned who had rarely left the Hollowed Grounds, to embracing the call of adventure, to dying and being reborn first as an Ascended and then as an Ancient, Maea has gone through quite the amount of changes in her life. One thing remains common, though, in her attempts to find out just where she belongs; she’s always had a craving for knowledge which has brought her to so many places and to meet so many people here in Caido. We can’t wait to see what else is in store for her!
Congratulations, Maea!

The alchemist's shop is decidedly empty since his strange disappearance.
Within however, the following items can still be found on shelves or in drawers, or among the weeds out back.
If your character would like to borrow/steal/help themselves to any of these items, post here having them saunter in and take them, then post in records updates!
Safrin Pendant | A cosmic pendant with an eye-etching in the centre. Properties unknown.
Glass Lens | A magical lens that can reveals illusions. For weak illusions it can see through them. For stronger illusions, it merely shows them as a shimmer.
Warning Device | A stone that glows green until the centre of it (or its twin) is pressed, then they both glow red and vibrate (Made by Remi).
*** Sam has the other half
Diagram Parchment: Creates an illusory-3d model of whatever is drawn on it.
Communication Shells | A pair of sea-shells that will carry voices from one to the other, regardless of distance.
*** Phoebe has the other half
Magical Crystal (1) | When (abandoned) magic is cast at this device, it can store the power and reuse it as controlled by the wielder. (Made by Remi)
Two-way parchment | This parchment will replicate whatever is written upon it to its partner-parchment, regardless of distance.
Magical wagon
Magical Wagon Wheels (Upgraded) | a set of 4 wagon wheels able to magically alter themselves to move over any terrain, and self-propel the wagon. Made by Remi.
Magical Wagon Walls (Upgraded - 3 magical items worth) | The walls/ceiling of the wagon from the outside emit a warm and cheery glow showing figures moving about inside. From the inside, they reveal the outside world and the stars/sky overhead. Made by Remi.
Magical Wagon Interior (Upgraded - 4 magical items worth) | The interior of the wagon is much larger than the outside proportions make it seem. Made by Remi.

What’s this? An empty shop?
She’d heard that Ronin and Remi had disappeared during the Temple/mud monster debacle and figuring that the alchemist would never miss a thing, Wessex appears in the dead of night and finds what she’s looking for - the magical crystal. In it's place she leaves :
Type: Dark
Gloves of Crushing | Oversized green gauntlets cause it's wearer to become mildly irritable and inevitably break fragile things when touched
It only takes a moment before she’s out the door again.
------------------
Wessex takes the magical crystal and leaves the gauntlets from Ianto's wagon
I know I am good at something, I just haven't found it yet
She could not express her sadness, so deeply it ran. Emmett. Roana. Two unnamed babies. Cormac. Jax. Rhett. And now Remi, Aoife, and Ronin. In all her time she had never felt so alone, but she would take that which her brother had poured his heart and soul into to remember him by, as she prayed he would someday magically reappear.
Phoebe takes:
Magical wagon
Magical Wagon Wheels (Upgraded) | a set of 4 wagon wheels able to magically alter themselves to move over any terrain, and self-propel the wagon. Made by Remi.
Magical Wagon Walls (Upgraded - 3 magical items worth) | The walls/ceiling of the wagon from the outside emit a warm and cheery glow showing figures moving about inside. From the inside, they reveal the outside world and the stars/sky overhead. Made by Remi.

She wasn't usually one to wander in where she did not belong, or to take what was not hers. But in a time of crisis, Maea had been taught to make the best of what she could, and in this case... an abandoned place was abandoned. And it would do no one any good to leave items to rot.
If push came to shove, she could always return what she found later.
Wandering slowly through the empty workshop, she spotted a strange item that immediately caught her eye. It was a lense, made of glass or some similar material. Feeling only somewhat guilty she picked it up and tucked it into a pocket, and left quickly - as if someone might turn up and yell at her any moment if she lingered.

With Remi suddenly disappearing, Oliver grew concerned. What happened to him? Would he ever return? What would happen in his absence? It’s what led him to finally visit the man’s shop. To see about taking care of business. What business?
Well, Oliver arrived with a small flower in a vase. It was meant to be a memorial, of sorts. It wouldn’t last long, but it’d be a small sign of hope, that maybe the man would return and all would be well again. Muttering a silent prayer that Remi would be alright, Oliver was about to leave until he decided to investigate. See if anything important was left behind that he should preserve. After a bit of searching, he would find a pendant, one that surely must be important. Oliver wouldn’t use it, no, rather he’d keep it safe for Remi so nobody stole it for good. And with that, he made his way out, carrying the pendant with him.
Oliver has taken Safrin’s Pendant!
Safrin Pendant | A cosmic pendant with an eye-etching in the centre. Properties unknown
In its place, he leaves a boring flower in a vase.
Amun had heard that Remi disappeared the same as Ronin had, which, given the circumstances of the Fallen Stars disappearance, didn’t bode well for the alchemist. Still, Remi had promised the potter a few things before the whole shit show went down, so Amun had limped over to the alchemists’ shop.
It definitely looked like others had been there first, and the potter smirked a little sadly at the sight. Carefully rummaging failed to turn up the star charts, which wasn't surprising given the state of the place. However, Amun did find a nifty little glowing stone that he pocketed. Then, he turned to leave, whistling a sea shanty and not giving the place a backwards glance.
Amun takes the following:
Warning Device | A stone that glows green until the centre of it (or its twin) is pressed, then they both glow red and vibrate (Made by Remi).

Jigano had been a busy wreck of a human being, like so many others, after the disastrous festival. He had used all the magic he had to heal Amalia and others, and he had been on his way back to help start clearing debris and bodies from the festival grounds. His steps took him past Remi's shop, however, and he paused when he saw the door swinging partially open. Frowning, he stepped within. Some things that should have been there were gone. Others, different ones, were stashed in corners or on tables, like odd tributes to the missing alchemist.
Spying the shell, Jigano sighed, remembering how they had been used during LongNight. He'd have to find whoever had the other one... perhaps he could trade for it. It would be useful to have for those going through the portals, or perhaps a different use could be found for them. Either way, he picked it up and headed out, careful to tidy up a little from where someone had been rummaging Amun and closing the door firmly behind him when he left.
Jigano takes the following:
Communication Shell(s) | A pair of sea-shells that will carry voices from one to the other, regardless of distance.
*** (one half)
A fire started, likely by one of the flinthoppers. Luckily the shops around Remi's were built with stone, as were the exterior walls of the once-alchemy shop. Everything within though burned to ash and dust.
Remi's shop (and the remaining one item) are now gone!
