[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! ♥]

Date: 2011-08-13 08:53 pm (UTC)All right, that one was lousy. I'll give you that.
[Still laughing, he leans back against the lip of the fountain and tilts his head up towards the City sky, speaking softly and with far more blatant honesty than anyone other than George is really privy to, as if to make amends for his terrible one-liners.]
I've got Gin. Figure that counts as Heaven enough for me.
[He ought to have much less.]
[video]
Date: 2011-08-13 10:31 pm (UTC)And I hope that 'you lot' includes you. They don't lay off just because you're new here.
[Video]
Date: 2011-08-14 03:15 am (UTC)I can see that.
That stick must come in very helpful. What else can it do?
WONDERFUL /is hoarded
Date: 2011-08-14 03:16 am (UTC)he's there for you when he shouldn't be but he stays all the same;
Date: 2011-08-14 04:49 am (UTC)No matter. Fred's all grins and laughter anyway, letting his newfound friend sway precariously to the side as he props himself up on his elbows. Even if the water monster hadn't been in the fountain with them, he'd've assumed she meant him, if only because everything is about him, naturally.]
'course it is! D'you have any idea how much trouble I went through to be here for this? Trans-dimensional time travel's no easy feat, I'll have you know.
[Because clearly he came here just for her. Even though he didn't actually come here. There can just be no other reasoning. Family sticks together, so he reaches up to pinch her cheek playfully and let her know he is here. Regardless of everything that's happened in between, he's here now, and as far as he's concerned, that's the only thing that matters.]
[video]
Date: 2011-08-14 04:58 am (UTC)[He thinks about it for a second, then shrugs playfully.]
Sounds like fun.
[Video]
Date: 2011-08-14 05:00 am (UTC)S'not a stick, love. It's a wand, and it can do just about anything I'd like it to.

Date: 2011-08-14 05:02 am (UTC)Kind of a loaded question, innit? It's just a touch of magic.

Date: 2011-08-14 05:04 am (UTC)Fred Weasley. Nice to meet a chap with his wits about him.
[action]
Date: 2011-08-14 06:11 am (UTC)Quite ready, yes.
[action]
Date: 2011-08-14 06:41 am (UTC)Cheers.
[And Fred turns back to the water, eyes deep set in concentration because all magic, especially a spell of his own making, requires absolute focus; but traces of the smile stay on in the way he marvels at his own production as it begins to form and wrap itself around the both of them. It was rather fun, which is partially why he decides to have another go with her, but also because he wants to test out this not breathing thing for himself.
Sure enough, as the monster swallows them both, he feels the cold surround him - but none of the base instinct that says 'air, you need air.' It surprises him once again, and though he actually managed to accomplish some semblance of the suspension originally desired, it breaks his focus and they both go splashing back down into the fountain's pool, at which point he just lays in the water laughing loudly.]
he's there for you when he shouldn't be but he stays all the same;
Date: 2011-08-14 10:47 am (UTC)[Ginny is shaking her head, a fond grin tugging at her lips, and she finally hauls herself up to her feet, dripping fountain water everywhere. She pushes her sopping wet hair out of her eyes and extends a hand to her brother, jerking her head back to the pavement, suddenly all business. After all, if she focuses on the simple and important tasks like settling him in, informing him of the City, explaining her situation (and hopefully being composed enough to explain his), she'll manage to be alright. No tears, no desperation, no panic. Just alright.]
Come on, then. Wizard or not, you can't wear those clothes and I know a place that has just your size. [The old cabin in the forest has a closet full of the twins' clothes. Merlin, that's weird.] And I promise I'll answer any questions you've got, too.
he's there for you when he shouldn't be but he stays all the same;
Date: 2011-08-14 11:06 am (UTC)Excellent. First things first, then. When the bloody Hell did you become so damned gorgeous? I'm not going to have to interrogate any extraterrestrial boy-toys, am I?
[Arms crossed and eyebrows wagging up and down teasingly, it's rather difficult to know if he's serious or not. Or rather, it would be if Ginny wasn't a Weasley and close enough to him to know better. Obviously this is the most pressing matter after being teleported to a strange new realm and being nearly hugged to death.]
he's there for you when he shouldn't be but he stays all the same;
Date: 2011-08-14 11:24 am (UTC)[She snorts, wading through the water and clambering over the lip of the fountain before wringing out her vivid mane of hair. She's forming a decent puddle on the street but funnily enough, people aren't really giving them a second glance - mostly because people landing in the fountain seem to be a common occurrence in the City.]
I'm not dating anyone, if that's what you're so afraid of. [And Ginny arches an eyebrow at him, drawing her wand - to dry herself, naturally, but it might look like she's considering hexing her brother for his comment, too.] And I thought I've always been gorgeous, thank you very much. What a thing to say to your favourite sister.
[Fact is, she doesn't know how he's going to react when she tells him she's three years older than he remembers. To be honest, she's a little worried about it. She knows she was fairly distressed by arriving here a couple years back and finding Ron older than he was meant to be. He'd only been here two years... and, Merlin, it looked like she was going to be here for three if her bad luck held out. But she might like to stay a bit longer now that she can have extra time with her brother.]

Date: 2011-08-14 01:18 pm (UTC)Oh, they are. Or can be. It's best to just ignore the shitty ones, though.
