[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! ♥]

What the bloody hell is the fountain—is that a person?

[... wait. Oh, Merlin, wait a sodding minute. That hair, that voice... It can't be. The City's playing tricks again, it's a visitor's day, it's got to be, because this can't be a Weasley.]

[But it can, she'd recognise that hair anywhere. And that voice. That's got to be one of her brothers. But which—?]

Georgie. He said Georgie, which means—

voice; 3/3 AAHHH

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

[Do you recognise this voice, Fred? It might sound a bit older than you remember. But whoever's on the other end of this conversation has suddenly gone very, very quiet. She might have stopped breathing, too, just for a few seconds. And then, with a touch of hesitance - ]

... Fred Weasley?

[Now a little more earnestly,]

Is this Fred Weasley?

[wishgrant]

That was cool!

Cheers, mate. It's not quite up to standard yet but I reckon with a few tweaks, it'll be ready to make the most of any bathing experience.

[There is a playful wag of his brows here.]

[ regardless of whether he got it right or not, have an applauding alien fairy ]

Oh, that was neat! Do you have some kind of special control over water?

[ action ]

[feorge]

[Quite unlike any fairy he's ever seen, let alone one capable of sensible speech, so forgive him if his eyes marvel for a moment before responding very businesslike.]

Ah, an astute observation, madam, but not quite. I've some kind of control over much more than just water.

[He'll even throw in a wink to sell it all the way.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Oh, look, another magical redhead! And he is quite impressed.]

Is there any particular reason you were trying to create some sort of water monster that eats people...?

[Video]

[feorge]

[Redheads are just made of win, Hanna.]

It's simple, really. If a man's to snuff it, oughtn't it be fighting a water monster over say, choking on a biscuit or some such?

[ She was rushing toward the fountain in panic, but arrives only as the monster is collapsing and Fred is very obviously in no danger at all. Her face, which once held worry, is now red with anger. ]

You there! Whatever that was it was not. Funny! Someone might've gotten themselves in trouble thinking you were seriously hurt!

[feorge]

[At first, he's a bit thrown. Red-headed woman shouting at him; has his mother followed him to the afterlife simply to shout at him for a simple prank? But no, she is quite unfamiliar and he raises his brow a bit apprehensively.]

Easy there, m'lady. Gorgeous face as yours'll be ruined with all that fretting. No blood, no foul, aye?

[video]

[designedtoparty]

Where's your imaginary friend? I thought you said you could summon them.

[video]

[feorge]

[...wat.]

Beg pardon? I haven't got any imaginary friends, to my knowledge. Though I s'pose I could tweak some protective curses to make one if I were so inclined.

[Oh hello, this artfully disarranged lady is applauding you so hard she looks to be clapping her hands raw.]

Oh, brilliant! May I try?

[action]

[feorge]

[Blinking, because blimey, she could be Luna's sister or cousin or something.]

Good sense of adventure about you, doll. If you'd really like to have a go, how'd you like to test a small charm for me as well?

[adamantined]

Talk about a dramatic entrance.

[feorge]

The Weird Sisters have their music. That Muggle bloke, Picasso, had his paintings. The Weasley twins have their theatrics. The finest form of art, if you ask me.

[ ... 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. ]

[feorge]

[YOUR WONDER AND AMAZE IS LIKE CRACK TO FRED. Who simply grins and nods his head once appreciatively.]

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'.]

[badhairlifetime.livejournal.com]

So, you wanted to float in a monster's bowels? Admittedly a unique hobby.

Do you need help finding dry clothes?

[Video]

[feorge]

Unique hobbies for a unique man. You won't be finding another quite like me.

[He winks, but it's half hearted. These jokes don't work without George to back them up. :(]

Much obliged, but not to worry. I've got it covered.

[And he points his wand to himself, hot steam billowing from the tip and drying his clothes.]

Because I apparently couldn't decide who to tag you with.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Woah, can you do stuff with water too?

ahaha it's all good /hordes your CR

[feorge]

That, I can. Though this particular spell took me awhile to conjure up.

the most excited video in the world of the most scottish boy;

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

Christ, YOU did that?! How'd y' do that? That's BRILLIANT.


[ooc: so much backtagging. I can give you my wwizard troll also, if you'd want him... If Harry and Malfoy had a kid who was also a troll, that would be him.]

the most amused video in the world of the most...ginger? boy;

[feorge]

[All the grinning, Campbell. Any man who calls his magic brilliant's a fine one by him.]

Cheers, mate.

[And why not, he'll raise his wand and do a quick Aguamenti charm to showcase the spell he tinkered with to create his monster, a stream of water pouring from the tip as though the fountain's within his wand.]

[ooc; ahaha send whomever you'd like, love. You know I'll backtag forever. ♥]
