Age: 1

Species: Mouse

Fun Facts: Lives comfortably in the cash till, complete with a linen bed, a water dish and snack reserves refilled daily.

Brief History: Montgomery first appeared one morning inside the shop’s till, asleep on a pile of coins and sugar crumbs. He quickly earned a reputation for stubborn charm and surprising boldness and any attempts to remove him were abandoned after multiple “reappearances”. Though perfectly normal by all accounts, Monty’s timing and antics often border on supernatural coincidence prompting regulars to insist he’s an enchanted guardian spirit. Some deny it, some encourage it and Monty himself refuses comment.

Explanation of Services: Crumb Disposal Unit: Monty ensures the café remains spotless through a rigorous crumb management system: eating them. No crumb too small, no pastry too sacred.

Brief History: No one at Souls & Sundries can say for certain when Rafael started working there. One morning, he was simply there, already behind the counter, sleeves rolled up, quietly mending a cracked charm as though he’d always belonged. He never offered a resume and no one asked. Questions about his past are met with vague half-smiles and answers that never quite match the last one he gave. Some say he came from far across the sea. Others swear they’ve seen him before in places he claims never to have been. There’s a weight to his presence, as though he’s been somewhere else and returned with more than he left with. Whatever his history, he keeps it stitched tight beneath that quiet, precise exterior, only letting through the smallest threads of truth, and only when he means to.

Explanation of Services: Chronothread Repairs: Uses golden threads imbued with temporal resonance to mend magical items without disturbing their enchantments. Can restore them to a moment before their damage, particularly useful for objects that break in ways glue and spellcraft can’t fix.
