[b]Chrona's Clock Shop, Dojoville[/b]
Chrona sat in the back of her shop next to the boiler, carefully putting together a brass wristwatch. While she saw her hands moving at perfectly normal speeds, an outside observer would have seen her as though she was moving at speeds far to fast for such careful assembly. Said observer would also wonder why all the clocks in the shop were running so agonizingly slowly. She looked up from her mostly finished work as the bell rang, seemingly in slow motion to her, giving her ample time to rush over to the master gear and set the clocks back to one second a second, before walking over to the front at a normal speed to see her guest.

"No they're working just as they're meant to." She walks out and hands him the requested clock

[i]"Whatever you say." [/i]

She smiles a little. "Anything else?"

[i]"That'll be all." [/i]

"Alright. Thank you for your patronage."
