Step up for a look
I'll take thee away
Into a land
Of enchantmentStep up for a look

As you peruse the shelves, you may pick out some finer details here and there, and see magical items come to life before your very eyes! When it is your turn to step up to the counter, you will be able to see what's on offer much much better!
Until then, look around, be curious, and let your mind fill with wonder…
Deep violet velvet curtains are pulled across the wagon's shelves and displays, hiding them from sight tonight, blocking off shopping.Instead...a variety of curious little games and diversions are arranged all across the front counter and on little tables around it.Mystical carnival music plays from a huge black and white striped gramophone, big star shaped string lights sway in the breeze, and the whole setup would likely remind one of the Darkmoon Faire, but much more witchy.
Feeling skilled or just very lucky? Step right up and try your hand!

Strange things Done Under the Midnight Moon
Well now. With this much magic all crammed into just one place, and many shadowed corners and nooks and crannies…some additional wares and opportunities might just make themselves known to you…depending on what you do during your time here…
This shop specializes in a highly interactive shopping experience that runs like a DM'd D&D session where your choices affect your outcomes at the shop.
Embrace the Unknown
The Wagon's menu and its RP are a lot to take in. It is meant to be like a whole game in and of itself and you're not really meant to experience all of it in one visit. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed, but please just follow your heart and choose a couple of things that seem fun to you at first. I promise there are no wrong answers.
Sensational Secrets Await You

What Does All of This Get You?
Coin bearers get to explore The Wagon in whole new ways.They deliciously get to come play at the wagon when Hazella's not there or sneak around to the back when she is. Coin slots wait for you to push your coin in to open secret doors or pop out secret shelves and see what happens...And...coin bearers get invited to secret events.
