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]

How does it work?

[onlyholey]

We took the principle of an extinguishing spell and applied it to every light source in the room, plus a little extra blackness for good measure. Because the powder is charmed, it only lasts a few moments, but it's faster and easier than casting a spell.

[signatures]

Very interesting. Would more powder let it last longer, or just become more dark?

[onlyholey]

Works the same, no matter how much you use. We only recommend a pinch at a time.

[signatures]

I'll have to take a look.

[onlyholey]

We're hoping to open up this weekend.

[signatures]

You don't keep strange hours, do you?

[onlyholey]

'Strange' is a little relative, don't you think?

[signatures]

What hours do you keep, then.

[onlyholey]

Generally we like to be open when the sun's out.

[signatures]

That's always nice to hear.

[onlyholey]

We have a fairly extensive line of defense magic, if that's your interest.

[signatures]

What else do you have? You'll forgive if I'm not too familiar with the sort.

[onlyholey]

We've got shield clothes, protect you from jinxes in duels and the like. The Decoy Detonators are popular. You let one scurry off and it makes a very loud noise two rooms over from where you are. And extendible ears are an old favourite.

[signatures]

Extendible ears? Like some sort of bug?

[onlyholey]

Don't look anything like a bug, no. Hold on.

[He rifles around in a few boxes until he comes up with a few flesh-coloured long strings.]

Here they are! Fred and I invented these to listen in under doorways at the like. Right bloody useful.

[signatures]

How do they work?

[onlyholey]

Stick one end in your ear, the other near whoever you're spying on. Works like you're in the room with them.

[signatures]

Huh. Useful.

[onlyholey]

Extremely useful.
