[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.]

[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! ♥]

Date: 2011-08-12 05:34 am (UTC)I think I should like it well.

Date: 2011-08-12 06:30 am (UTC)[He takes her hand earnestly.] Fred Weasley. Pleasure's entirely mine.

Date: 2011-08-12 08:43 am (UTC)... Er, sorry, you did that? To yourself? [ ... the 'but why though' is implied. ]

Date: 2011-08-12 09:48 am (UTC)Full marks, my fine, little friend.
[LOOK, LUCA. YOU GET THE WEASLEY WINK.]
[action]
Date: 2011-08-12 09:54 am (UTC)Excellent. Now, the spell's really quite simple. It's merely a pocket of air about your head to make sure you don't, er, y'know...make good with the lungs and the water. I'd think we'd both like to avoid that, if possible, aye?
[Euphemisms, we got em. As well as a cheeky grin because this will be so fun, he has a voluntary Muggle!]
video;
Date: 2011-08-12 10:01 am (UTC)Indeed, I did, mate. Quick on the uptake, are we?
[A bit sarcastically, but mostly playfully, as though to say most anything he does is 'just cause it's fun'.]
audio ][
Date: 2011-08-12 10:09 am (UTC)Applause is appreciated, coins are a good show. But I think I'd settle for a name to match this pretty voice.
video;
Date: 2011-08-12 10:41 am (UTC)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?
he's there for you when he shouldn't be but he stays all the same;
Date: 2011-08-12 10:42 am (UTC)[Is all he gets off before into the fountain they go! In all honesty, he isn't like to complain, not considering the day's events, and part of him is brought back to simpler times when their biggest worries were getting Ginny through a nightmare at two in the morning. Strange, to be brought back to their childhood when she has so very clearly left it behind, but then age has never really had much to do with the Weasley mentality, now, has it?
At least, it didn't up until the war began. Fred had watched his sister mature rather too soon, having faced You-Know-Who herself early on and becoming one of the star pupils to emerge from Dumbledore's Army. If he's ever felt Ginny's sudden adulthood to be a failure of their own, he hasn't voiced it to anyone. But this, this...bloody impossible reunion seems to wipe that thought clear from his mind, as this little ball of energy and affection is so very clearly his baby sister. Forget the war, forget his death. This is so much more meaningful and significant and the embodiment everything Fred holds sacred.
His family's still his family, despite trials and tribulations and three years of trans-dimensional time warping. What more could he honestly ask for?]
Not that I've any qualms with being bowled over upon sight, but some fair warning next time would be much obliged, little sister.
[Lies, all lies. He loves it. In fact, if one were to look closely, they might even notice that Fred's holding her rather tightly in return, determined to preserve this raw moment for just as long as pride permits.]
video;
Date: 2011-08-12 10:56 am (UTC)Something thereabouts, I'd say. We tend to revel in the grand performances, and the very best are inflicted upon the unsuspecting. You'll never find a more satisfactory reaction than that of a bloke who just witnessed his mate turn into a canary because of a little something extra in his afters.
video;
Date: 2011-08-12 11:07 am (UTC)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.
video;
Date: 2011-08-12 11:42 am (UTC)He's hardly fake, though the monster part is still highly questionable. Has to be, to have imitated this handsome face so thoroughly.
[He gestures to himself with a half-hearted smirk. He misses his twin. :(]
Y'know, why's it that Muggles always picture the rabbit in a hat gag? It's rather depressing to think that's the only bit of magic you lot've got to entertain yourselves.

Date: 2011-08-12 12:26 pm (UTC)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 ][
Date: 2011-08-12 12:29 pm (UTC)Hello, I'm Claire Bennet. [And then, voiced almost as an explanation -] I live with your sister, here in the City.
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 12:38 pm (UTC)Ah, Ginny's flatmate. I promise any damage done was...more than likely learned from us. [He does not sound apologetic. In fact, he's grinning as wide as the moon.] Im Fred, the less-than-holey twin.
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 01:00 pm (UTC)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?
video;
Date: 2011-08-12 01:11 pm (UTC)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.
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 01:17 pm (UTC)Ah, has she broken Muggle things? Years of Dad's obsession with the lot and I've still yet to figure out how the microwave works. [He does his very best to surpress a laugh at the question.] Blessed only with my good looks, perhaps. He's got a fancy hole where his ear ought to be.
