[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: 2011-08-11 05:27 pm (UTC)That sounds like some kind of superpower! Aren't there any limits on what you can do?
[ action ]
Date: 2011-08-11 06:31 pm (UTC)Loads of 'em. Some boring old laws and spells beyond my level, but I'd only consider it a challenge.

Date: 2011-08-11 07:07 pm (UTC)I like the way you think! [ she sits down on the lip of the fountain, crossing her legs ] Is that sort of ability common in your world?

Date: 2011-08-12 01:40 am (UTC)My world, eh? D'you mean to say you aren't just some sort of cleverly advanced fairy or pixie?

Date: 2011-08-16 04:06 pm (UTC)That's brilliant. How does it work, if you don't mind my asking? Hope it hasn't got anything to do with sitting about cemeteries; you're far too gorgeous for that sort of spook.

Date: 2011-08-16 09:48 pm (UTC)Well. Nothing like a good bout of death to show those buggers their place.
[ action ]
Date: 2011-08-16 09:53 pm (UTC)Something like that. I understand what they were trying to do now. I understand a lot of things. So maybe that's why they're better now! I don't plan on dying again any time soon, though, no matter how uppity they get.

Date: 2011-08-17 02:45 am (UTC)Atta girl. You stick it to those over-expired miscreants.

Date: 2011-08-17 05:16 am (UTC)I s'pose you could say I'm used to the abnormal. My world tends to make fine work of the strange and unusual.

Date: 2011-08-17 07:10 am (UTC)Precisely. Can't be beaten by the unnatural if you just take it in stride.
[ action ]
Date: 2011-08-17 02:19 pm (UTC)Like this city. It's not where I was supposed to be, but I think where I was supposed to be will be okay until I get back. So I might as well take a break and have a little fun!

Date: 2011-08-17 04:18 pm (UTC)Aradia, my dear, you may very well be the only other person on this establishment with any decent sort of sense about you. Cheers, love.
