[Video | Location: Speares]
Theta had been very busy. She'd ridden the tram that circled the city around and around, looking for a place of business that she could take over and rework to suit her needs. True to what she'd been told, there was eventually one that she found, and not too far from a tram stop, either. It hadn't take much to be able to take it over, and she'd soon settled in, tinkering with the clocks and updating them.
Now, from her seat behind the counter of her workshop, Theta activates her tablet and begins recording video. "Good evening, everyone! This is Elizabeθ Buckley speaking, broadcasting from my new shop on the northern end of town." She pans the camera around, showing off the clocks which have all been updated since she's gotten here. Most of the changes have been cosmetic, though she plans on making more practical clockworks later, when she has time. But those are time-consuming projects.
"Beginning tomorrow, I'll be open Monday through Friday, from eleven o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening. I am a competent ergaleomancer, not that have a feeling very many know what that means. That's why I'd like to show off Roachi this evening."
She takes out a brass ball from her pocket and holds it up, then tilts it to the side. It unfolds itself and folds back in on itself to reveal a clockwork flying cockroach. It considers the tablet for a moment, then starts to climb up Theta's arm. Theta doesn't seem to mind, and she smiles cheerily. "Roachi isn't for sale, but he's an excellent example of what clockwork can do--nigh on anything.
"At the moment, I only have clocks, pocket watches, and jewellery available, though I will be adding more practical clockworks as I am able to complete them. In the mean while, I'd like to offer to every lady that visits me tomorrow a necklace, and every gentleman a watch chain, free of charge, merely for stopping in. I hope to see everyone tomorrow. In the mean time, I'll be available to answer questions about my trade to anyone who is curious."
