[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 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 01:17 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.
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 01:27 pm (UTC)[There is a pause, and then Claire shrugs.]
Good looks are one thing, but you probably have some idea of how ladies feel about scars.
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 01:40 pm (UTC)Precisely our argument. Mum still gets a bit faint and weepy at times, but I reckon he'll be bringing home the ladyfolk in abundance before soon.
[He's joking and there's certainly a smile, but then it seems as though a thought strikes him and scratches the back of his head to cover it up.]
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 01:45 pm (UTC)If you're always up for a good challenge, then you'll probably find it in this place, in spades. I expect Ginny's probably coming to get you. Has anyone given you any kind of a crash course? A guide or anything?
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 02:02 pm (UTC)I've done a fair bit of crashing, as far as this fountain goes, but that's about it a far as familiarity with this place. A little fairy told me it's a convergence of worlds or some such. Sounds a bit barmy to me.
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 02:09 pm (UTC)[Maybe it says something that she's not stopping to ask whether or not it was actually a fairy who told him what this place is.]
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 02:45 pm (UTC)Blimey. S'pose next I'll be looking for nargles like Luna. Some afterlife this is.
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 02:48 pm (UTC)Luna was here, once, a long time ago. She's a sweet girl. [Pause.] So why are you assuming this is the afterlife?
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 03:12 pm (UTC)[--'spacey,' he would've said, but the questions bears answering and he grins.]
Surrounded by gorgeous women and Muggle devices, the likes of which my father would go spare over? It's got to be Heaven, hasn't it?
video ][
Date: 2011-08-12 07:16 pm (UTC)Maybe if you think toasters and microwaves are in any way a part of Heaven. There might be good looking people here, but there are just as many average and bad looking people, too. This isn't Heaven, it's just another world. I'm not sure if that's easier to swallow.
video ][
Date: 2011-08-13 01:07 am (UTC)Well there's a load off my chest. My dreams of early white clouds and endless Filibuster's lives another day.

Date: 2011-08-13 01:20 pm (UTC)Oh, please.
video ][
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: 2011-08-14 03:42 pm (UTC)You're making all the other big brothers in the universe look bad, I just hope you know. [She leans away from the camera for a moment, brushing her hair back from her face.] Is she bringing you back to the apartment?
video ][
Date: 2011-08-14 04:14 pm (UTC)I haven't the foggiest. I'm under strict orders not move, see, and I'm due to give her compliments for her birthday. I'll be shocked if she lets me from this courtyard at all.
video ][
Date: 2011-08-14 04:21 pm (UTC)video ][
Date: 2011-08-14 04:29 pm (UTC)Bloody Hell. It actually is her birthday, then?
video ][
Date: 2011-08-14 04:33 pm (UTC)The one and only. Somehow, I don't think any of the gifts that people are planning on giving her are gonna compare to you showing up.
video ][
Date: 2011-08-14 05:02 pm (UTC)I s'pose I am a tough act to follow. Apologies for any grand schemes you may have had lurking behind any luridly colored tissue paper.
