Deep inside Piltover, in the heart of the City of Progress, lies a particular shop with a rather long nameplate above its entrance. "The Revered Inventor's Menagerie of Irreverent Creations, Experiments and Similar Endeavors" - by everyone dubbed "TRIMICESE" for short. Under the green neon nameplate lies a smaller, but of utmost importance warning sign that reads: "Enter at your own peril, past the bolted door; where impossible things may happen that the world has never seen before".
The doors slowly open, revealing what happens to be a laboratory inside. Cogs whir, sparks fly, pipes howl and spout steam towards the ceiling; all while you stand there dumbfounded, wondering what the purpose of it all is.
In the center of the room, a small figure armed with an even smaller wrench puts together seemingly useless pieces of bolts, nuts and scrap metal to build creations that seem to defy the primordial laws of the universe with little trouble. That small, but large-headed figure pulls a lever with a smirk on its face; and a glowing yellow neon sign descends from the ceiling, resting above the desk the figure worked on.
"The Inventor is IN"

Rin walked in, yawning. It was early, or, at least for her. She usually stayed up late working. The neon sign, a long with the rest of the cog work and such was a normal sight for her. Her ears twitched in a characteristic way as she rubbed her eyes and looked around the corner for her boss.
"Heimy? Heeeimmmyyy, sir! Where are ya? I'm here!"
Rin walked over to a cluttered wall that held her tool belt, scuffling through the pieces, nuts, bolts, trinkets, and more to adjust for today's work. Clipping it to her person, she dusted herself, stretching one last time before bellowing at the top of her tiny lungs

Heimerdinger lifted his head to look to where the voice came from.
"Over here, Rin! I hope you're prepared, because we have quite an impressive amount of work to perform today. I expect several customers within the first hours. It's the grand opening after all."
Heimerdinger buried his nose back into his work. "Could you hand me three flux capacitors and a gyrochromaton? Thanks."
Rin quickly scuttled over to the strange contraptions known as the flux capacitors and gyrochr---
"Wait a minute, Heim, the gryochromatons aren't here. Where'd you put them last?" Rin began to dig through piles of different tools near by. Despite being a new shop in town, they had so much it was hard to remember where some instruments had tumbled off too.
As she dug and searched for it, she exclaimed excitedly to him, "I can't wait to see the customers we get either! My first full time job here with new inventions and the likes... I can't wait! Getting to work with others ideas rather than just our own---OH! THERE IT IS!"
She jumped back up, hands full with the requested items. She padded back over to the revered inventor, her mentor.

"Worry not, Rin. They'll start arriving any second now." Heimer took one of the gyrochromatons and adjusted his lenses to ensure its gyroscopic systems were still working properly "Yes, yes, this one will do nicely." He took two of the flux capacitors and started tinkering with them
"Stash the rest nearby. I may need them later." Heimer then lifted his head from the contraption, as if he had just remembered something important. Oh, I forgot to mention - I'll be off to Bandle City for a meeting. He grabbed a set of keys from his desk and headed towards the garage. "You're in charge while I'm away. If you require assistance, give the Academy a call and say I will generously reward those who volunteer." With that, Heimerdinger left the store. Minutes after, his flying machine could be seen exiting Piltover's air space.

As if on queue, Loras would walk into the store. Blue electricity ran up and down his left hand, but this seemed an almost normal occurrence for him. Glancing around, he noticed Heimerdinger already immersed in some project and decided to not bother him, instead waving at Rin.

Teemo scuttles into the lab, looking as though he weren't entirely sure he should be here. Glancing around, the machines everywhere made him feel a bit out of place. But the inventor had asked him for assistance, and here he was to provide it! Hurrying, the scout moves about the room, taking in the sights.
"Uh, hey Heimerdinger? I'm here for that experiment you wanted me for! Where are ya?"
Rin caught a wave in the corner of her eye, spinning on heel. Her smile was even bigger than before as she greeted not one, but now two customers that had come through the door. One she knew very well...
"Why hello there! Welcome, welcome.. and Teemo? Well Hiya!"
Rin's ears perked at Teemo's question and she turned to Heimer with a concerned look, "experiment..?" Heimer was known for his experiments.. even if some did go sarcastically wrong.. such as the one he did to his own head, causing his yordle brain to expand 3 times his body size.
Rin shook her head, letting the two talk as she adjusted her focus back to the newcomer, Loras.
"Greetings, and pleasure to meet you sir! what can I do for you?" She payed little attention to the lightning, also seeming use to oddities. It was Runeterra, after all, and in the heart of Piltover. Gods only know weird things happen here a lot!

"Heya Rin. I was wondering if you had a coolant system small enough for this..." Loras would then pull out what appeared to be a steampunk skateboard, but it had no wheels. Two fans were visible from the underside, and pipes jutted out from either side on the back. "It can fly as is, but it starts to get reeeaaally uncomfortable to stand on after a few minutes."
Electricity would flow down from Loras' shoulder and into the hoverboard, causing it to whir to life.

((I'm so sorry for my late reply... Im so busy with commissions/contest/moving/work right now.. please forgive me, Loras and Heimer!))
"Coolant System? Hm, I think we have something around here!"
Rin began to dig through a pilled up shelf full of random supplies and the likes. After a few minutes of digging, she called back to her boss again.
"Heimy, where is that frost capacitor? You know, the one I used for my glider, too? Only the smaller one! The really small one. Uses aether exchange. Yeah, where is that?"
Rin turned and smiled sheepishly at Loras. The place was still new to her, and she had no idea where Heimer had sorted most of the items decorating the shop. She twiddled her thumbs quietly waiting for Heimer to help her out.

Heimerdinger returned from his travel. He didn't look particularly hurt, but his clothing was full of dirt and shimmering purple blood. "Give me one second and I'll be with you!" .He scurried behind a brown wooden door and came out sparkling clean after a few minutes. He then sat on his desk and looked at Loras.
