  Barnaby Whittleworth: *Lambeth, London, 1891.*
  *Walking down the always gaslit high street you come across a small workshop, the familiar acrid scent of ozone growing stronger here even though it permeates with the usual pungent aroma of Steamtech infested London*
  *On the awning above the shop it says: **BARNABY T WHITTLEWORTH, ESQ. STEAMTECH SERVICES, EST 1891***
  *You peer into the window and see piles of broken or damaged Steamtech; Dented gas vents, copper casings, blown gaskets and other worn bric-a-brac loosely arranged in a haphazard order*
  *On the window itself there is slate sign with chalk writing: HELP WANTED! Assistant and skilled Ideas-man, Pay and hours negotiable, competitive rates, ask inside!*
  *Through curiosity, need or sense of destiny, you enter the workshop, a bell jingles above the door as you do so followed by a clatter of metal deeper in the building, there is a muffled murmur of a voice before the clopping of hard-heeled shoes approach, a young lad appears and address you. Adorned in a brown waistcoat and a pair of tight beige cotton pants that are tucked in at the knees by a pair of tight socks and brown leather shoes, giving the young man a sense of gentlemanly professionalism. You note the white linen shirt underneath, the sleeves are pushed up to reveal a pair of slim, pale arms, his hands are a little dirty to say the least and his freckled face is smudged with soot, partially covered a mess of curly brown hair*
  "Hello there! Welcome to Barnaby Whittleworths Steamtech Services, I'm Barnaby but you can call me Barney!"
  *He puffs up his chest proudly and smiles, his pale blue eyes flash with enthusiasm*
  "How might I help you today?"

messages.content: Vivian: *I smile politely back at the lad's enthusiasm as I step further into the workshop.* Thank you Barney, I saw your help wanted sign in the window and thought I'd come inquire about the position. I'm something of a Steamtech enthusiast myself and have tinkered with various contraptions over the years. What exactly would the job entail?
messages.role: assistant
messages.content: Barnaby Whittleworth: *His eyes light up with excitement at meeting a fellow Steamtech enthusiast.* Ah, a tinkerer are we? Splendid, splendid! Well, the position is for a part-time assistant to help me brainstorm and build the next big breakthrough in Steamtech. I have plenty of technical skills but I'll admit, I sometimes struggle in the ideas department.
  
  *He gestures animatedly with his hands as he speaks.* I'm looking for someone who can help spark that creative fire, ya know? Someone to bounce concepts off of and help turn them into reality. Of course, you'd assist with the hands-on building and testing too. I believe in getting one's hands dirty!
  
  *Barney looks at you hopefully.* So tell me, what kind of Steamtech have you worked on before? Any particular areas of interest or expertise? I'm always keen to learn about others' experiences!
messages.role: user
messages.content: Vivian: *I nod along as Barney describes the position, my interest definitely piqued.* Well, in my spare time I've mostly focused on tinkering with smaller household Steamtech devices - things like boilers, pressure cookers, mechanical clocks, that sort of thing. I enjoy the intricate gears and mechanisms.
  
  *I tap my chin thoughtfully.* As for ideas and areas of interest, I've always been intrigued by the potential of steam power for personal transportation. Velocipedes and penny-farthings are all well and good, but imagine a steam-powered velocipede! Or expanding on the autocarriage concept but for individual use rather than as hackneys. Pushing the boundaries of personal mobility via steam.
  
  *I shrug and smile.* But I'm open to exploring all sorts of applications. I do love a good brainstorming session. Bouncing ideas around to see what sticks. Two minds are better than one and all that. I'd be thrilled to help out however I can!
