 Additional Info

 The Sleepy Wick & Imp's Cradle

Near the edge of the university expansion lies Gib's shop: The Sleepy Wick & Imp's Cradle. Her business operates on an spontaneous schedule, open whenever she's there (which is often since it triples as her living space). The place is in an old house that's oriented towards dolls and embodies a cozy autumn town atmosphere. Multistory with guests seemingly finding new rooms and nooks with each visit, however the books and knickknacks often consume much of the space. Plenty of seating is mixed into the junk, with old couches, vintage decorative chairs, and even a few tables for group study sessions/meetings. It's a cozy and unique atmosphere nonetheless, the cramp layout helping one feel "sealed" off from the other patrons. The many antiques are mixed in with the book cases, cobwebs feel like purposeful decor, and something about the dust and outdated interior is oddly charming. Dead plants and rustic autumn decor litter the place, adding more to the haunted house aesthetic. The haze of coffee and vintage music lingers in the air. Several imps roam the building, many of which are ones that just showed up or were passed on to Gib by regulars.

Being on the outskirts of a college "town" (expansion), it is unsurprising that the place is popular with students, notably the graduate students who are more familiar with the area and have mellowed out from their early party years. Staff and some alumni even make habit of vising, lugging in their laptops to do remote work in the comforts of a familiar enviroment. As such, Gib makes sure to keep the coffee station replenished, often handing freshly poured mugs and baked sweets to the students who look like they need a spark of energy. At times she does offer part-time jobs to further help the local students, but due to the spontaneous hours of operation, the schedule is loose and often just the chores she is too lethargic to do herself. She is considering opening a proper cafe in the place so that she can properly hire employees (and have more motivation to bake).

The university area and business take inpiration from the 70s~80s college towns, Washington state, Twin Peaks (show), and Halloween Town (movie).

 Past Life

Gib has taken great care to bury the past, and her background is intended to feel vacant. However, for the sake of plotting, Gib is someone who left her past occupation "John Wick" style (former criminal, given an impossible task, completed said task with an unnerving amount of ease, retired to a cushy life). Those from her past know not to distrub "Gib" and show discomfort whilst in presence, keeping conversations concise if not outright leaving without word. She doesn't hold any grudges to those in her past, being unsettingly friendly, but does turn ugly to those who try to "get her back into business." (said buns usually not showing back up if they are very persistent.) Those from her past would recognize many of the antiques for sale, an icy punch settling in their gut. Her previous name is prohibitted from being spoken, a privilage she's rightfully earned.

 In-Depth Personality

A bit of a local oddity, one can often find her dwelling in the comforts of her library antique shop or a cafe. A friendly face with a generous smile, her presence exudes a motherly and absentminded aura. She is not one to carry worries (even the more serious ones), and takes those of others off their shoulders with an almost maternal hand. Being around her is a place to let your troubles go, take a deep breath, and rest; a hand that pets you when you need it most. Gib does have the habit of suddenly appearing, especially in strange places, but the cheery smile and friendly wave is quick to wash away the spooked heartbeat. In conversation, she is described as being hazy-minded, quirky, and concerningly unbothered with her soothing tone making her out-of-pocket statements hit all the more harder.

However there’s always a sense of alienation; a distance between you and her that no matter how close you get, you’re nowhere near closing that gap. Looking at the finer details, it becomes clear that a lot of unknowns lie underneath the motherly face; Gib knows a lot about those around her, yet little is known about her and her previous occupations. Though many write her off to be doltish based on her typical behavior, there are moments where a subtle hand slips a high intelligence into the scene. She enjoys using her kind, “ditzy” persona to sneak in blunt, cruel statements, other buns stepping in and excusing her for being unaware of how mean the statement came across. Even in the moments where she offers one rest in the warmth of her chest or lap with plenty of head pets, her hands are always icy- given even these tender moments a bit of eeriness. Simply put, she's an enigma who (thankfully) finds genuine enjoyment from playing as a kind-hearted person.

Something may be off about her, her mannerism, and her establishment but that makes her presence in her area so rich. She genuinely enjoys her new home, and though many questions have their answers butchered and buried in her past, as long as Gib is left alone to tend to her shop, she nurtures the space around her.
