Welcome to the City, and to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes!

[Look, it's the youngest Weasley in question, filming a post to the network from behind the counter at her brothers' joke shop. The place itself is absolutely bustling with people and noise (chatter, whizzing, bangs, flashes!) and Ginny herself looks a little tousled but beaming. She has to raise her voice a bit to be heard.]

Looks like the weekend brought the visitors with it, so we're having a special until everyone goes home! Maybe that's three days from now, maybe it's tomorrow! Wouldn't you hate to miss this lot?

[The camera wheels around to show the shop, the shelves, the colourful magical products, then back to her.]

So come find us! And if you ask us how Babbitty Rabbitty's Cackling Stump is doing, you'll get 10% off one item of your choice! And if you're family—or from home at all—you'll just have to outright bribe me for a discount. [Wink. That means you, brothers, she knows you're out there.] We hope to see you here!

[And with a flourish of her wand and a shower of indoor fireworks later, rousing applause and appreciation from the patrons, the feed ends.]

[ooc; FOURTH WALL! HAVE AT HER. Just no doubles, no telling her she's from a book, and no future spoilers beyond the Final Battle (though if it happens, she'll conveniently forget once it's all over). Feel free to threadjack, too! HAVE FUN AND BACKDATE FOREVER! ♥

Ginny will be at the joke shop, at Passioné, and out and about in the City once shop hours are over. Come troll her on the network or in person!]

[ Guess who saw that announcement and is just going to come show up and ambush Ginny?

Ariadne. That's who. ]

You didn't mention how visitors are supposed to pay for this, you know.

[ Never mind that she probably still has a bank account... ]

Ariadne!

[She's practically scrambling over the counter just to get to her, slipping around a few precariously-balanced products and throwing herself at the other girl with a hug. Yes, she's been in a foul mood lately, but there's a high that being surrounded by the stuff she loves can bring, and this just makes everything better.]

It's so good to see you! I've missed you so much!

[ Laughing (the Weasleys have always made her laugh just as much as they've made her cry), Ariadne catches her in the hug, squeezing. ]

There's no way I'd miss a chance to come see you.

[ Like it's under her control, just as she can't remember Ginny to miss her elsewhere, but it's the thought that counts. ]

[The Weasleys are a family of extremes and they wear their hearts on their sleeves, of course they did all that.]

Then it's a good thing I decided to work today.

[Because it's as much a distraction as it is a way to see people and be in the heart of the City this weekend.]

As for paying, I'm sure people can convert their world's currency into City coins, right? How else do any of us manage it? [She leans back, hands on Ariadne's shoulders as she looks at her, then laughs and goes in for another tight hug.] Bloody hell, I've really missed you. It's been mad without you to talk to.

Definitely.

[ Ariadne laughs. ]

Yeah, I guess so. Shame, I was looking forward to free stuff. [ Just kidding, Ginny. Still, the second hug is definitely loved. ]

I can imagine. Most of the others around here aren't really known for their social skills.

[Rolling her eyes, laughing.]

I've only got boys for friends, Ariadne. You've ruined me.
