[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: 2011-08-13 01:54 am (UTC)[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.]
[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?
[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.
[Video]
Date: 2011-08-15 04:07 am (UTC)What anything? That seems like a lot of power. How can you be sure it won't fall into the wrong hands?

Date: 2011-08-16 03:25 am (UTC)It works just by thinking, then?

Date: 2011-08-19 03:32 am (UTC)Do they have to be specific words or just a general idea of what you want to happen?
[Video]
Date: 2011-08-20 11:03 pm (UTC)It's got to be very specific. One syllable off and you could end up with tentacles rather than spectacles.
Oh, right. Tagging. That's a thing that happens.
Date: 2011-09-16 12:55 am (UTC)I imagine that doesn't help with reading nearly as well. Except for turning the pages, perhaps.
