[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!

1. they do not dissipate quickly and will last for a few hours after this video
2. as they crash into each other, they will multiply and combine and any other various nonsense imaginable
3. any attempts to banish or destroy them will only serve to multiply them
4. 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. ♥]

[Ginny Weasley is at work when she hears the distant bang and crack of the fireworks display. At first, she pays no mind to it, but something makes her feel like checking the network just in case, and... Merlin's beard, she was right.]

Fred!

[... wait, this is actually sort of brilliant.]

You finished them!

[Brb, getting over the awe of EPIC fireworks. Not since his City insulting fireworks has explosives looked so good...he should tell Fred about those later, Maybe.]

That is the best advertising I've ever seen. Ever. I am quite impressed by those fireworks, Fred.

...You ever made fireworks that insult people?

[He doesn't wanna brag, buuut...]

[He raises his eyebrows, smirking playfully.]

Who do you think I am, mate? Figured filling the sky with exploding expletives wasn't the best of marketing techniques, but we've got plenty to spare.

[Again with the "we." Maybe this distraction was too much of a distraction, he's not guarding himself well enough.]

Impressive. I was pretty sure the Underground was coming down around me a minute ago.

[Video]

[feorge]

Blimey, you could hear them all the way down there? Wicked.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh! That is the coolest thing EVER.

[video]

[feorge]

[FLATTERED.]

Well, I should hardly think it's the coolest ever. Always plenty of room for improvement.

[But there is so much grinning anyway. :D]

Floods of light, sound and slight, tsssskkk.... terror-terrifying.

[...wat. Business-like smiles are a gooo.]

Nothing to be frightened of, love. Just a friendly show of lights.

Wow.

Couldn't have said it better myself, mate. Cheers.

You may need to explain your products. They mean nothing to me.

[feorge]

Not a problem at all. Anything in particular catch your fancy?

[video]

[bedsidemanners.livejournal.com]

Quite a sales pitch.

[video]

[feorge]

Caught your attention, didn't it? I find an added touch of flair always does the trick.

[aimandfire.livejournal.com]

Seriously?

[feorge]

Seriously.

[adamantined]

One of those caught my head on fire. [No it didn't.] I demand compensation.

[feorge]

Shall I come and kiss it better for you?

[veritaphobia.livejournal.com]

Must have taken time, finding a shop big enough to hold all of that.

[feorge]

It's easy enough here, this's only about a third of what we've got back home. Mum's always tossing about phrases like "affront to hygiene" and "messier than a pig's stye."

You! [ she is so out of breath, you are going to be the death of her ]

[...Oh, bugger.]

Evening, lovely.

[Hi, Fred. Guess who's browsing your stock for things to steal that catch his fancy?]

[action]

[feorge]

[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.

[ video ]

[aliveandticking]

That was great! I've been chasing around fireworks for half an hour now, I didn't know who they came from!

[feorge]

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

[He grins and tips his hat again.]
