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]

The purple and the green don't look half bad together, really.

[onlyholey]

I think it's rather magnificent.

[boutant]

I'd be reminded of dinosaurs if they were green spots, though.

[onlyholey]

Did dinosaurs have green spots?

1/2

[boutant]

Yes. [ Pokerface. ]

[boutant]

[ And then she starts to laugh. ]

No, there's a children's television show that has a dinosaur named Barney who's purple with green spots. I've got no idea what coloring actual dinosaurs had.

[onlyholey]

Television. That's the Muggles moving picture box thing, isn't it?

[boutant]

That's the one.

[ So adorably oblivious when it comes to 'normal' things. ]

I can't explain it half as well as I explained not using owls for mail, though.

[onlyholey]

It all sounds a bit barmy, to be honest. But I'm sure it's just the same with you lot and magic.

[boutant]

Definitely.

[ She nods toward the fireworks. ] Are these made the same way as our fireworks are, or is there something different about them?

[onlyholey]

I doubt yours are the same as ours. Ours do things even regular wizard fireworks can't.

[smarmy? Maybe only a little]

[boutant]

Such as? [ Luckily for him, Ariadne is possibly the most curious being on the planet. ]

[onlyholey]

You can make them spell out words in the air. The regular kind multiply if they crash into each other midair. We've got a brilliant dragon one, as well. It'll chase after someone if you tell it to. And of course their impervious to any type of vanishing magic. They just multiply more if you try that.

[boutant]

[ There's a pause. Color her impressed. ]

If I could justify it, I think I'd ask if you did custom ones.

[onlyholey]

We do, as a matter of fact.

[boutant]

Stop tempting me. I have absolutely no idea what I would do with fireworks.

[onlyholey]

Something to keep in mind, then.

[boutant]

You are terrible for my wallet.

[onlyholey]

I've certainly been called worse.

[boutant]

That doesn't surprise me.

[onlyholey]

We had our own separate detention file at school.

[boutant]

Do I even want to know what you got up to? [ Of course she does. ]

[onlyholey]

We didn't break too many laws.

[boutant]

Regular laws or wizard laws?

[onlyholey]

Same thing, to me.
