Howard wastes no time.

No. He wastes some time. But after, between, and during the drinking and existential crisis, he finds a charming little workshop—where charming means small, underequipped, cluttered—and moves in. Underquipped and cluttered can be fixed. Small can probably be fixed if they let him at the walls. Wysteria Poppell (charming name, charming hair, where charming means—) doesn’t seem immediately aware that she’s his assistant now, probably because she was there first, but time will probably take care of that, too.

Miss Poppell’s section of the room looks like the aftermath of a tornado. His (slowly expanding) section is literally alphabetized, with the handful of curiosities and gadgets he’s managed to acquire so far evenly spaced on a shelf and a single book open on the desk.

“I changed my mind,” he says, without looking up from that book. “It’s not that people are stupid. It’s that they’re bad thieves. All this innovation exists, but no one is stealing it.”
