Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!

Now Howard, already nervous about his first day in Accidents and Catastrophes, was finding it hard to control his breathing as he made his way through the ministry towards what would be his new home for goodness knows how long. He was rehearsing what he was going to say to his manager and to the other staff over and over in his head to make sure he wouldn't babble out any old thing when he got there, which was often the case when he was having anattackofthenerves.

What he wasn't expecting, was to be greeted by an ear shattering explosion as he made towards the department.

Shocked facial spasms prevail..

The thirty-two year old jumped. Literally. A hand flying to his heart which had begun to thump hard against his ribcage. The fright, however, had the reverse effect to what you might think, and Howard was jolted to his senses. Nerves temporarily forgotten, for some reason he continued towards the lab where the explosion had come from and didn't turn on his heel and leave the building.

The stench and smoke was something awful. Howard coughed and wafted at the air in front of him then reached into his pocket for his handkerchief and covered his nose and mouth.

The clouded scene that greeted was a destroyed lab and the tail end of an angry boss barking orders.

..Uh-oh. Someone was in BIG trouble for this..

He came to halt beside some of the other staff, one of which looked like he was about to keel over at any given moment.

It appeared that although the nerves had dissipated somewhat in the explosion, Howard's awkwardness had not and he just sort of hovered there uselessly, seemingly suffering from a severe case of Cat Got Tongue Syndrome.
