[ video || open action ]

[The faces of the passerby's to the device's lens seem to be reflecting a range from distinct lack of interest to mild amusement to extreme confusion. They also appear to be shielding their heads from something, but from the device's position, it isn't quite clear what.

That is, until the throng clears enough for the device to get a good shot of the fountain - and what appears to be an aquatic apparition thrashing about in the center of it all. Wrapped in one of its many tendrils can be seen a man in slightly tattered clothes, though his most distinct feature is the flaming red hair that might be somewhat familiar to select residents of the City. He is also screaming and flailing against the monster theatrically.]


No! No! Somebody, stop this beast! This is no way for a man to go! No!

[As the creature lifts him to its mouth(?), he confines himself to his fate and shouts to whatever observers have stuck around to watch the events unfold.]

Tell my family - I love them!

[But it's too late for him. The monster slips him into its translucent mouth and he can be seen sliding through the watery entrails - and then sliding right back out through the stomach, depositing him just close enough to get a better view of him. His concentration broken, the monster collapses back to its original position in the fountain, thoroughly soaking the man and the other observers in the process. They look annoyed. He looks...disappointed.]

Bugger. Another flop. [He turns to the device with something of a smile, putting his abundant freckles and soft brown eyes into view.] The stomach's supposed to be more akin to jelly, see? The idea was suspension, not lubrication.

[He sighs and gets to his feet, brushing himself off despite his dripping wet state.]

All in due time. Let's go it again. Come on, Georgie.

[He addresses another, though he is quite noticeably alone, and it's only in this that his voice takes a slightly less chipper tone. All that can be seen is his back and the strange, ethereal movement of the water as he walks back over to the fountain and the device shuts off.]

[ /video ]

[ooc; Fred is officially in the City! :D He hasn't quite figured out the device yet, though he played with it for a good while beforehand because that was curious minds do! Feel free to say your character was an unfortunate observer or just happened to pass him by or whatever, really. As a side note, I'm going to be disappearing around 1pm-ish today, so tags may come slow after that, but backtagging is love and I will reply as quickly as possible! Go crazy, you silly kids! ♥]

Talk about a dramatic entrance.

[ she laughs, swinging her legs ] Most other humans think trolls are supposed to be ugly, too. I guess some of us are, but some humans aren't much to look at either!

[ and then, sticking out her hand ] Aradia Megido. Nice to meet you!
wishgrant: ([happy] to wish us all goodnight)

You can do magic!

[Doll is a new one for her. She gives a smile and a small curtsy to that.]

I think I should like it well.

[ ... Jamie is kind of at a loss BUT HEY THAT WAS MAGIC. ]

... Er, sorry, you did that? To yourself? [ ... the 'but why though' is implied. ]

I hope you're not expecting me to start clapping. Or throw coins into a hat.

[ HE'S GLAD TO BE A SUPPLIER OF CRACK. Sort of. ]

Well, there weren't many other explanations that were springing to mind. [ Despite himself, he grins. ] So, do you do that a lot? You know, inflict fake deaths by watery monsters on unsuspecting crowds?
enterpainment: (UNSURE.)

[ ... WELL OKAY THEN. Let the wonder and amazement continue!

BUT FIRST, a slight pause. ]
"We"? Who, you and the fake monster? [ Jamie just hopes the apparition isn't what's named Georgie, okay. ]

Oh, of course, I can imagine there being some confusion and shock over someone turning into a canary. I mean, it's mostly rabbits used in magic tricks. People probably feel a canary is a very daring choice of animal.

[The grin might be audible, and he just might be able to hear one in return.]

Just a good show? What, were you expecting me to throw my phone number and my underwear? You've only been here five minutes. You've got to stick around for at least an hour to get pants to drop.

[Video connects, more as a method to prove she's anything but serious about her last suggestion and also as a means of establishing a real connection. Not to mention, she wants to check this out for herself.]

Hello, I'm Claire Bennet. [And then, voiced almost as an explanation -] I live with your sister, here in the City.

[It might be some of your sister rubbing off, Fred, just keep that in mind.]

The only things that have been destroyed are things I wouldn't really expect you guys to understand. And the toaster works almost as good as it did when we first bought it, anyway. [She quirks an eyebrow.] It's nice to meet you, sort of. Was your brother blessed or something?

Well, they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. [ Not that twins have a choice, really. BUT HEY. Jamie is about to say something else about that but--

But what did he just get called. ]
A Mug-what? I am fairly certain I am not one of those, unless it means 'short blonde British person'. And besides, that's not the only magic! We have magic where I come from, too. It's just not often used to turn people into canaries.
