[The camera opens on the video feed. Not much can be seen, as what appears to be a hand is covering most of the camera. There is a THUNK as the device is thrown onto a hard surface and skids slightly until it settles, setting up a clear view of the edge of the fountain. A young man is standing waist-deep in water, drenched to the skin. He pushes his fiery red hair out of his eyes, and peers towards the device with what may be an extremely familiar freckled face.]

Look, if someone’s trying to make a point here, I have bathed today.

[He’s seemed to have worked out that the device is broadcasting, and is nonplussed by it. He hoists himself out of the water and sits of the edge, trying to shakes the water out of his sleeves.]

And Ron, if this is another one of your misguided attempts to ‘cheer me up’, I must say that you’ve reached a bit of an all-time low. Dropping me into a fountain, really? Absolutely no finesse at all. In fact I’m considering disowning you on the spot. And I have water up my ear-hole.

[He tilts his head over and gives it a smack to try and dislodge the water. Wear his left ear should be, there is simply a dark hole in the side of his head.]

If the water seeps into my brain I am holding you personally responsible. I don’t need to be brain-damaged on top of being horribly disfigured.

[He hops to his feet and scoops up the device, holding it level with his face as he turns around, surveying his surroundings.]

Now. Where in bleeding hell am I?

[Hi, a manic and disshevelled-looking lady is grinning at you!]

Oh, hello! So you'd be the other one, then, hello! I've already said that, sorry. How lovely!

[And there, the spinning background behind her would indicate she's twirling.]

[Ah, 'the other one'. It's something he hasn't been called in a while, and it's making his heart feel a little tingly.]

I take it this means you're another friend of Fred's.

Fred! Yes, that's right, I never can remember such common-- [Not finishing sentences is a thing she does. On to the next thing.] Friend, oh yes, I suppose so, he did drop me in a fountain.

[This gets a snort out of George]

He does have a very unique style with the ladies.

[She blinks, and in a rare moment of social awareness, realises she may have left a detail or two out. Not that she'll explain much, but she'll try to clarify a little.]

Well, I did ask him to.

Was there something in it for you?

It was fun. Besides, I wanted to see how; he makes the water move like it ought not to. But I suppose you do that, too, don't you.

He was using the water troll, wasn't he? Merlin's Beard, I'd almost forgotten about that thing. He hadn't really perfected it before...

[Cough. Well.]

A troll, do you call it? Oh, it's brilliant! What else can you do?

That depends. What exactly are you looking for, love?

[Oh. Well she's not really looking for anything in particular, but that question and the implications behind it are teasing her. It means he's probably got more than just a neat trick or two.]

Have you ever been somewhere or somewhen you ought not to have been?

Oh yes. Loads.

[She claps her hands again.]

Ooh! Can you take anybody else with you?

I've barely been here ten minutes! It's not nearly enough to find out which parts of this town are out of bounds and how to break into them.

I'll need at least twenty.

[Oh, she likes you. You're clever and have got your priorities in order where most humans haven't.]

I'll make it fifteen. The locks are only bits of metal, bars and clasps, and the things people don't want you to see and hear are only wires and numbers with gaping holes straight through.

So where exactly is worth breaking into around here?

Well. That depends on what you are looking for.
