7 Mischiefs Managed - [video]

[onlyholey]

[Hello City! It's everyone's favourite ginger Brit (well, one of several) all up in your device.]

Alright, City? Some of you may be informed of a particular joke shop that a certain pair of wizards will be bringing your way shortly. Seeing as I'm in the neighbourhood, I thought I would treat you all with a little sneak preview.

[The camera adjusts to the light, and George can be seen standing in a darkish room. Despite the darkness, the whole decor can be seen as extremely orange and purple, with a few good shocks of magenta and lime green thrown in here and there. He turns the camera around to reveal the front counter, already loaded up with merchandise.]

Anything more than that and I'm afraid you'll have to show up for the grand opening. Hope to see you all there!

[ooc: Better watch yourselves, City. Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is almost upon you. George will be in the shop tonight taking stock/setting up. Friends and family are welcome to assume that he roped them into helping and action tag. Random visitors are also always good. :-D]

[ She's honestly surprised by the offer, but pulling her shirt on gives her a moment to think. ]

That's up to you.

[ Now for her neckerchief, and an absent hope that there aren't any marks that she'll have to cover up before she runs her fingers through her hair in an attempt to look presentable. ]

Honestly, I'm not sure if I should be more worried about possibly being mugged or about my roommates potentially murdering you.

[onlyholey]

[George flattens out his hair one-handed and gives her a look.]

Should I really be that worried?

[boutant]

[ Aww, goodbye spikes. ]

I should be more worried than you, honestly.

[ But it's not a no. ]

[onlyholey]

I haven't turned you into a loose woman, have I? Because I've heard of this 'pistols at dawn' business, and I don't think I'd be terribly good at it.

[boutant]

[ She snorts. ] No, you haven't. [ Though yes, pistols are more or less what she's worried about. ] I'm just the youngest and the only girl. If I were your sister, how would you react if you found out or suspected something?

[onlyholey]

Considering she has a boyfriend, it's something I try not to think about.

[boutant]

Exactly.

[onlyholey]

Doesn't mean I'm going to go after Harry with an unforgivable curse, though.

[boutant]

Gryffindor, right? Noble and brave. [ Thank you, Harry's big mouth. ]

[onlyholey]

[/all the smugness.]

You've been paying attention.

[boutant]

I'm always paying attention. Besides, Harry kept saying words I didn't know.

[ She tucks a bit of hair behind one ear. ]

Don't worry, I doubt they'd kill you unless they thought they had a good reason.

[onlyholey]

Cheers, love. I feel much more assured now.

[boutant]

Yes, well, just make sure they know that when you say you sell love potions you don't mean roofies.

[onlyholey]

Why would I sell anyone a roof?

[boutant]

See, that's good. Just do that and they'll think you're harmless.

It's slang, by the way.

[onlyholey]

Slang for what?

[No, he's not going to drop it.]

[boutant]

[ Oh god. ]

Drugs that you slip into someone's drink.

[ She is hoping he'll work the rest out for himself. ]

[onlyholey]

To ill effect, I presume.

[boutant]

[ She nods. ] So make sure you clarify.

[onlyholey]

Will do.

[They reached the street by now. George scratches the back of his head a little awkwardly.]

So, er, I suppose I'll be seeing you, then?

[boutant]

[ Ariadne has a feeling she's going to need to steal another one of Eames's cigarettes -- well, or stop and get a pack of her own. ]

You know where to find me.

[onlyholey]

[He leans down to kiss her again. Just one for the road.]

[boutant]

[ She kisses back, grinning wickedly into it when she moves to mess his hair up again. ]

[onlyholey]

[Oi! He gives her a playful nudge before heading off. Time to see how subtly one can sneak into a shared bedroom...]
