Two things!

[Behold Ginny Weasley, the camera enchanted to float in front of her as she broadcasts this from... Her broom? That's right; she's back where she belongs, up in the air and the summer wind pulling at her hair and clothes, face alight in a smile. She looks infinitely better than she did a week ago, that's for certain.]

Firstly, I believe I owe drinks to quite a few people for the madness that was a few weeks ago. The Anonymous people graciously paid me in liquor from my world for helping restore the Hall of the Missing and it's not like I can drink all of it by myself—have you seen me? I'm too small for all that firewhiskey.

Priority goes to all my doctor friends, because I said so.

Secondly, FLYING LESSONS!

[Yes, it's about as loud as capslock.]

I usually offer this earlier in the summer but there's that little matter of a City-wide rebellion and being struck down with a magical plague, so I decided I'd best wait it out until people were a little more available, myself included.

I know I've spoken to a few people about this—Sulu? Stiles?—but it's open to anyone who's interested in brooms and isn't afraid of heights. I've never had anyone fall while I'm in the air with them, so don't worry! It's fun.

And if someone just wants to watch, come along. This is something I love, why not share it in any way I can?

That's all!

[AND OFF SHE ZOOMS, the camera following her for a minute as she speeds around the Quidditch pitch the twins built, corkscrewing and ~soaring, tumbling, freewheeling~ through the air. And it cuts out as she whips past the device.]

That's exactly what I mean. You've got all these people here who can do all these amazing things, and sometimes they can even teach you how to do some of them. Why wouldn't you want to start learning this stuff?

Maybe I ought to take up swordfighting next. That'd be something.

[hexuality]

Arthur left a while back, but I'm sure someone does it. I sort of, er, adapted what I learned to dueling with a wand. You never know, right?

[unflagging]

Yeah, I'd have to adapt what I've seen in movies. It's something, right?

[hexuality]

I had to adapt to seeing movies.

[unflagging]

What, they don't have them where you come from?

[Or is it difficult for you to watch them? Because there are those from certain worlds whom he knows who actually can't watch television and movies. That is, they can't see the images. All they see is static--and some flashing lights and flickering images. Pity, really.]

[hexuality]

They do, just not in my society. Our photographs move, though.

[unflagging]

Hey, neat! That's sort of like movies--or documentaries, at least.

[hexuality]

Yeah, you develop the film in a special potion. Maybe I'll give it a go some time. Never been one for photos, myself, but may as well make a sort of... album of the City, right?

[unflagging]

If you do--geeze, I guess make them? Develop them? I have no idea what word to use, but you get the idea. If you have moving photos, I want to see them. Can I? Is that fair, bosslady?

[hexuality]

I'll even put some up in the shop, how's that?

[unflagging]

Sounds great to me.
