deduction
Five floors. One night. Get every thing back to its ticket before dawn.
Every claim ticket in the shop came off the thing it belongs to. Five floors, one night, and a goblin who is no help at all.

The job
A goblin keeps a pawnshop on a neon street: a counter out front and four more floors of unredeemed things behind it. Tonight every claim ticket in the building has come off the thing it belongs to — light sticks and photocards, costumes and wigs, karaoke gear, boxes of things people loved and had to give up. Anything still unmatched at dawn belongs to him forever, and he would rather sink the shop than let that happen. So he has hired you. For one night.
The work
You work beside him, floor by floor, putting each loose ticket back on the thing it came off. Every floor is a different kind of room and a different kind of trouble, and every floor tells you what it wants — you just have to look at it properly. Finish a floor and he opens the door to the next one, talking the whole way.
Note
Nothing to know coming in: no shop-talk, no music trivia, nothing to read in any other language. Whatever a floor asks you is somewhere on that floor. The shopkeeper is enormously helpful and no help at all, and he has an explanation for everything — mostly the damp.
