[ video || open action ]

[At first, the loud crack! that comes from outside does not sound entirely unlike thunder; maybe a storm is brewing? But the first is quickly followed by another, and then dozens more. Strange behavior for thunder, but surely it's not completely unheard of?

Then starts the bright flashes of light, every color imaginable whirring about in sparklers and Catherine wheels, and there is absolutely no mistaking this for lightning.

That's right. A large display of fireworks has been set off in the center of the Square, and if the large, glittering W in the sky is any sort of hint, it's easy to understand this feat to be at the hands of a Weasley - specifically, one wolfishly grinning Fred Weasley, who is standing beneath the W with a vast spread of various objects before him.]

Welcome, ladies and gentlefolk, to the City's first ever Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes! Come on down and take a peek at our stock - we've got Trick Wands, Ton-Tongue Toffees, as well as various Skiving Snackboxes; not to mention the ever popular Wonder Witch Products, such as the Love Potions and Ten Second Pimple Removers. It's guaranteed a good laugh! Just follow the W!

[And just as he says the last word, another thunderous boom! lets loose two enormous dragons composed entirely of fireworks. They circle about the ever crackling W before spreading off and exploding into still more firecrackers that whizz off into the distance. Fred grins wildly, tips an invisible hat upon his head, and the feed shuts off.]

[ooc; Fred set the sky on fire! :D Things to know about these fireworks, as they are they are not normal fireworks and have a few enchantments about them!

they do not dissipate quickly and will last for a few hours after this video
as they crash into each other, they will multiply and combine and any other various nonsense imaginable
any attempts to banish or destroy them will only serve to multiply them
more info can be found here!

That being said, they'll be hanging around for awhile so feel free to have your character watching them from the other side of the City or even being chased there by a rogue sparkler, whatever you please! Just pay mind that no property damage is to take place at any time. These are friendly fireworks, not the sort used to chase away Dolores Umbridge. Replies may be slow, but ither than that, go crazy. ♥]

[There's a long, thoughtful pause.]

And you could spell out anything? I mean, not just a letter, but words..? Would it cost a lot?

Oh, I'm sure there are plenty more to be discovered.

[Griiiiinning.]

Well there's some pleasant imagery if I ever heard it. I assure you, any, ah, bleeding was highly unintentional. Many apologies.

[So devious, Nathan! Fred will just stand with his arms crossed and an amused smile.]

Now here's a surprise. I was under the vague impression you didn't approve of our merchandising.

Consider it a gift, then, from Weasley & Weasley to this wonderful prison of a City.

[He grins and tips his hat again.]

Cat wouldn't've made it anywhere without a bit of curiosity.

[He winks, but then he's suddenly much more interested.]

A year? And have you gone home at all in that time?

True. That's why they have nine lives.

[Hanna nods.]

Once. And it was the strangest thing. I was home for about a month...but when I got back here, it had only been about 2 days...

You think it's a prison?

Buffy. I'm Buffy.

No jokes about the name. Now you have to dig deeper. For mysteries I mean since you got the obvious one out of me.

To keep things lively, I suppose.

"Weasley"—did your family invent all of them, then?

Oh? Now that is interesting. How do these "Snackboxes" of yours work?

No. Come off it, you got Snape on it too? Bloody Hell, Gin. We ought to make you a medal.

[For the best, little sister. He'll start finding a way back home to murder some folk.]

Haven't really figured the pricing yet, seeing as our money's no good here, but just about anything's doable, given enough time.

How long do they usually take?

[Neil gets ideas sometimes.]

Couldn't have done it without you lot.

[She sounds SO PROUD right now, Fred, you can't even imagine how glad she is to hear that sort of praise from you.]

They weren't all too pleased, but it was a great laugh. I reckon the only reason they got it on Snape was because they wanted to save their food. Figures, doesn't it?

[So it is possible to go home. Then why's it that Ginny's been here three years without-?]

Blimey. Deities must be rightly tickled by this whole toying with time gag, hm?

The deities do it on purpose, I think. Like temptation that we've finally escaped, only to pull us back. They're sort of dicks, like that.

's got to be a prison of sorts, innit? Brought here against your will, kept here against your will, no feasible way out? Spells a prison to me.

Do people often make jokes of it? I think it's lovely.

I get the feeling I've got my work cut out for me on this one. [He grins with an ever so subtle wink.] Always welcome a good challenge.

[The best jokes are terrible ones. Fred totally snerks.]

Nah, just Georgie and I, though I'll admit the family played a part in the testing stages.

I can't quite divulge all the details - that'd be giving away the secret. But in laymen's, there're two halves: one to give you the desired illness, the other to cure it right up.

[Ideas are gold, Neil.]

Depends on the complexity, usually. This entire lot took ages, but that's on account of the dragons and the likes. Others can take anywhere around a couple days.

[It's well deserved. There's no telling how proud Fred is that Ginny carried on their work in their absence.]

Pillocks, the lot of them. How'd they cure it, then? I don't suppose you gave them the other half.

[He snorts. Not often someone uses a phrase like that back home.]

Yeah, suppose they are. [A thought.] Wonder what's in it for them. D'you think it's just for kicks?

There's a reason, I know there is...but I don't know what. I've been trying to find out for ages, though.

[He's American, Fred. Also, he's Hanna. He doesn't do tact.]
