[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. ♥]

I didn't say that, did I? I just wouldn't ride the carousel animals. It's like going too deeply into the Underground, it's just idiotic.

[Never. Talking. Ever. >| ]

You say idiotic, I say adventurous. I've yet to go down there - it's said there's a circus?

[He'll force it out of you eventually. >8|]

Don't.

[There's a shift in her tone, less joking, more serious.]

Don't go down there. I know we've all done loads of ridiculously heroic things but—please.

[It's the 'please' that throws him, and he's quiet a moment. Naturally, forbidding it only makes him all the more curious, but. Well, she said please. He has to at least know why though.]

Suppose I'd find all manner of unpleasantries down there, hm?

That's one way to put it. I've been, before. With Harry and the others. It got defensive, it... er, we appeared on top of the carousel somehow and it threw us around the City, sort of. It's hard to explain, but the magic that works here, Fred, it's different from home. And there are the City monsters to consider, too.

[She pauses, checking her watch, glancing back to the club, thinking. City monsters. She can almost feel their claws tearing through her back again. She draws a breath, her voice even.]

I reckon it's a bit useless to try and keep you out of it. But at least tell me if you're thinking of doing something stupid so I can come along.

I've already told you, daring's hardly stupidity.

[I digress.]

I'll hold off on the spelunking, then. For now, since you asked so nicely.

Good. Thank you.

[No, really. She's relieved. Just because you're dead doesn't make you invincible.]

Listen, I've got to get back to work, but I'll come out and join you as soon as I'm finished, alright?

Yeah, yeah. Go and tend to your "obligations" or whatever rubbish you've gotten yourself into. I'll be having fun in the meanwhile, but I'll be sure to save you a laugh or two.

The City stopped paying for me when I turned eighteen, you pillock. I've got to earn money somehow.

[She snorts.]

Honestly.

It's highly respectable, love. Never more proud, really.

Yes, your sister, the bar waitress. I can feel Mum and Dad's approval all the way from England.

[But obviously she enjoys it.]

I'll be there soon.

I can hardly wait.
