[Jimmy's walking down the street near the fountain, uncharacteristically bright smile on his face. It's obvious he doesn't know he's recording this, since he's not at all paying attention to the camera. His pace speeds up a little as he heads towards the fountain, the tone in his voice full of amusement as he calls out.]

Hey, Tommy, c'mon, I'm not gonna chase you!

[That is, however, exactly what he starts doing. There's a little kid running in front of him, a boy of about four, who seems completely unconcerned with the fact that he's in a new and unusual place. He's running, giggling, holding onto a bag of candy, and Jimmy's following behind him as closely as he can.]

All right, all right, slow down! You're too fast for your dad, kiddo.

[The little boy sits down on the edge of the fountain and pops a piece of taffy into his mouth. Eventually, Jimmy sits down beside him, brushing the little boy's hair out of his eyes. The little boy looks up at him, looking serious for a moment, and asks "Where's mommy?"]

Well, y'know...

[Jimmy pauses for a minute, slightly uncomfortable, and then grins down at the kid.]

We're on a little vacation, just you 'n me, okay? Just the guys. Mommy's at home, workin' on her paintin', and y'know she can't get anythin' done when we're havin' this much fun.

[He ruffles Tommy's hair, then immediately realizes his device is on, and switches it off with a bit of a sheepish smile.]

[[OOC: Jimmy's son is here for the fourth wall, and you can run into Jimmy and Tommy around the fountain, or anywhere else in town, really!]]

[ video | action ]

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!]

Ah, I didn't think we'd get visitors this weekend...! And of course the Dragon is still undergoing repairs...

Still, welcome to the City! I hope you enjoy your stay, you picked a perfect time to show up! There's a whole bunch of festivities in Xanadu--that's our big garden --, the weather is nice...

Anyway, I hope you all have a good stay. I'd tell you to stop by the Jasmine Dragon for food and tea, but we're going through repairs...again...
But there's plenty of other places to go, and I'll be out and about. If you've been here before and you want to say hi, I'll be here!

[ooc: Just because the Dragon is closed doesn't mean Rapunzel won't be in the area of the tea shop. She will be, and she'll probably have snacks with her for hungry guests. And she'll be out and about in other parts of the City too, enjoying the nice day, so come say hi!

HAVE AT YE, FRIENDS~!]

Visitor time, huh?

If anyone needs me, or if anyone I know is here, I'll be around town. And to those who just got here, no, this isn't a costume, and yes, I'm an alien.

[Garrus can be found around the park and the beach]

Alright, newbies, listen up. I'm the not-so-friendly neighborhood Transformer, so if you're the annoying type, keep outta the way and I might not step on ya'.

And if there's any other Transformers out there, don't think I'm gonna wanna pal around just 'cause we're from the same planet. I got standards.

Bit of repeat again but I suppose always nice to see new faces.

[Rose looks around the square to see all sorts of people walking by. No one she recognizes however. She looks back at her device.]

If you're getting this and don't know where you are, welcome to the City. If you need any assistance settling, just let me know. They've got some really great tea and scones shops around if you're into that sort of thing.

[It's Audio for the moment and it's a very Irrate Laruna. Which is unusual for her, no?]

What are you doing here!? I can't believe you showed up. Can't you just... be somewhere else and not be here?

[A second voice, male, answers her, not at all put out by the anger.]

I'm not allowed to check up on you and see how you're doing when I've gotten the chance?

No! It's bad enough to know that you can see me here! I don't need you to actually be here!

But it's the only time I'm all- OW!! You hit me!

You deserved it! Jerk!

[Action:

Laruna can be spotted stalking around town with a gentleman with a black eye following her. The man looks enough like her that it's easy to see that they're siblings, but he's got pointy ears on him unlike Laruna.]


((Laruna and her twin brother! Replies will be coming from this account or element_wizard))

[ There are a lot of people here. Clary watches them and tries not to get her hopes up. As much as she'd like to see her mom, Simon, Luke - she knows that life doesn't work out that way. Still, her smile is a little brighter when she flicks on the feed. ]

Okay, here's the deal. If you know me, come for coffee. If you don't know me, come for coffee. [ Tucking her hair behind her ear. ] Got it? Good.

It is impossible not to be excited by the prospect of visitors that we know.

[Jem is seated near the fountain and his silver eyes are bright with hope.]

Is there anyone here who has never had a visitor from home, since they've been here?

Hey. So. If anyone sees a dude with a really uneven jaw lurking, get him to call me. [ Making a phone sign with his hand. ]

Though if it's creepily hot twins then you're on your own.

I expect we're meant to see this as progress. All that promised work on the City's barriers paying off.

For those of you visiting, I can only hope the usual pattern will hold and you'll get to head home in a couple of days.

For the rest of us-- well, there's no reason to make plans until we have a reason.



[ooc: ( ETA usual 4th wall caveats... )

]

Arthur? Mat? Tony? 'Mana?

Anyone?

Is anyone here again?

I miss you all so much.



[Open for any 4th wall or other interactions!</small]

Okay. Anyone from Panem out there, show your ugly faces.

Another one of these visitor weekends? I suppose barrier really is down if all these people are coming here.

[He just scoffs, looking unamused by all this] It seems a bit counterproductive considering the promises of being free from The City after recent events.

[ooc; Anything goes for 4th wall, also open for action too if you want!]

[Ne's not going to hold out any hope at all, but it is one of those weekends it seems and so something should be said.]

The wards on the castle have not been changed of late. [Invitation enough for those the words would be directed toward. If ne believed it possible.]

Even if so many other things have.

Y'know, they've got this classic curse out there—from American rumor, I'm thinking—and it goes: may you live in interesting times.

All I wanna say is—if I ever offended a witch sometime? It's 'cause I didn't see this coming. You think we could re-negotiate the punishment?

[ ooc; throw anything. I dare you. ]
