[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! ♥]

[...Well, technically not. He is dead, but as far as City-time goes, he's without harm.]
I've had my share of dealings with the not-so-friendly. Reckon the only thing I've to be careful of is unnecessarily troubling the dames of this fine establishment.

Date: 2011-08-16 03:55 pm (UTC)You go on and turn it off, now.
[ She nods once, finally acknowledging that she's over her little tantrum and onto saying hello all proper like. ]
I'm Donna. And...you're sopping, so excuse me withholding a handshake.

Fred Weasley.

Date: 2011-08-17 03:59 pm (UTC)Nice to meet you, Fred. And if you ever go scaring me to death like that again you'd better be sure I don't get hold of you. I mean it.
[ Donna is so super stern, she's only barely smirking a little as she warns him. ]

Date: 2011-08-21 07:40 pm (UTC)Good. Next time I'll do more than shouting. Now, as lovely as it's been thinking I was witnessing some horrific death, I was still on my way for a coffee and exploring. If you don't mind, I think I'll need that coffee more than ever, now.
You're welcome to join, unless you have other people to frighten today.

Date: 2011-08-23 01:55 pm (UTC)[No, not really. His arrival alone is more than enough to do the traumatizing, and if his smile's anything to go by, it seems he'll have his share of trauma as well. Nothing like family bonding, eh?]
