Sure, it's nice here, this cozy corner of a big, weird universe. But your new clients hail from distant dreams, bringing their own strange dramas to your doorstep. One and all, they seek sendshape : artifacts woven from the stuff of memory. And you don’t intend to disappoint. Fine Work has mushroom mail, memory swapping, celeb dog-blobbers, undercity fight clubs, and a conch-shaped obelisk that eavesdrops on citizens… what more could you ask for? Dazzle Your Patrons Get to know Gleamhold’s otherworldly residents, and win them over with your artistic prowess (or, you know, just being friendly ).
