"Good morrow gentlemen is it drafty in here to you as well." he uncorks a flask takes a nip. sets in his jacket. pulls out his pipe fills the bowl and lights it looking at those sitting around the bare quiet fireplace. "Reminds me of my great aunts estates in Cambridge. You sir what brings you to this rather musty engagement." looking toward Justin. he reaches into his jacket and pulls out the flask and offers to any takers.

Archibald reaches out and takes the offer from Charles and then hands the flask back to him after taking a swig. "I have worked in places such as this, but never after they quit being a Sanitarium." He looks around at the room as he begins to pace.

Justin also takes a swig from the flask, and proceeds to pull out his own tobacco and pipe. "Any bloke that offers a stranger a drink is a goodman (pronounces it as one word) to me. The name's Justin Credible. I got tired of being a mumper and my chuckaboo told me about the advert. Said I'm a bit bricky so I should come along and have a looksee and earn some batter."

"My word sir your vocabulary is down right cheeky. Tell me did you cobble those words together on your own or were they passed down? Extraordinary. I mean no offense its just i don't believe i understand your jargon. right you are though about a good stiff drink. here here." he takes another pull off the flask as he stows it away in his coat."you sir" pointing to Archie with the stem of his pipe, is that an air cavalry jacket? My nephew Edward flew the old tick tock a bit during the war good chap he was. yes good queens man right to the end." he solemnly looked over to the corner around the big arm chair and stares pensively as if seeing or expecting something. "it should be fine working with you good sirs you can call me Charles it will be quicker that way." and again he seems to be anticipating something in the far corner.

Justin Credible reaches to his back pocket and pulls out a small book. After a few moments looking through the book, he looks at Charles and the others stating: "My apologies, good gentlemen. I'm quite new here in these parts as I only recently left the Queen's Land in the great state of York. I'm still getting used to the common tongue hereabouts. Being so new to the area and without a proper occupation, a good friend of mine encouraged me to investigate the advertisement that brought us all here.I believe some good coin was offered, so why not?" Justin offers a smile, and puts his book back into his pocket.

Archie stops pacing and looks at Charles. "Good eye, sir. I was a Sergeant with the 2nd Wing for the Royal Flying Corps. By the way, my name is Archibald, but you may call me Archie." He reaches out to shake hands with the others.
"The advertisement did make it seem like there could be a lot of chances to try out some new toys I have been tinkering with." As Archie speaks a little clockwork golem steps out from behind one of the chairs carrying an old scrap of paper as though it was reading it's morning paper. "Ah. Baxter. I was wondering where you had wandered off to.

At that moment Sir Alfredo von Brawn enters the room. "Guten Morgan, I do apologize gents for my tardiness, Munich is a long way." Alfredo von Brawn immediately sizes up every person in the room. Looking for scars, smears on shoes or jackets, stains, identifying signatures, leans, tells, any info that tells him the occupations, tendencys, or weaknesses of the men in the room. As Alfredo takes his seat he says, "My name is Alfredo von Brawn and I am greatful for the invitation. I do love a good mystery."

Archie stands straight as Alfredo gets pompous. After he finishes Archie shifts his eyes back to the Professor. "I am Archibald Williamson, but you may call me Archie."
He then points down at his little golem. "And this is my assistant Baxter." The golem's gears click and whir as he takes a bow in front of the group.

Rising and proffering a bow to Professor Farnsley. "Yes Prof. Farnsley I believe we spoke via communiqué through my man in Pickerington. I'm Charles Calabash very pleased to make you acquaintance, and of course now with you, Sir Von Brawn." He walks over to Baxter. "Extraordinary"

Quite a crew we got here, ya? Watcha got in dat water, Charles?" looksat Baxter... glad I only took a swig otherwise I won't be able to see through a hole in a ladder"

As he analyzes Baxter intentently, von Brahn says, "Archie dear chap this construct is a marvel. I have visited 5 different continents and I have never seen a engineering masterpiece such as this! I count 72 different components in this masterpeice!" Turning to Farnsley he said, "Thank you for inviting me Farnsley old fellow, i have enjoyed our correspondence through missives about our cases. You have collected a band of very interesting fellows here. I have deduced the occupations of each, and we vary greatly. I look forward to working with you all."
