[Good afternoon, City. You may notice a few new additions throughout the downtown area. In fact, they're awfully hard to miss: enormous purple and orange boxes with a 'W' printed on them, and - is that lid hinged?

Get close enough and you'll find out.

At a touch, or if a person spends more than a few seconds in its proximity, the lid springs open, revealing a grinning redheaded figurine wearing a garishly purple suit and a tie that you really oughtn't look at for too long if you value your retinas. In its hands is a sign that reads:

WEASLEYS' WIZARD WHEEZES IS NOW OPEN
[ADDRESS]
MENTION "FLABBERGASTED LEECHES" FOR 10% OFF ONE ITEM!

And then, thirty seconds after opening, there is a burst of confetti before the lid slams shut again.

For now.

We at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes sincerely hope you'll come and play.]

[ooc: To go to the shop and interact with actual Weasleys, come on over to the log! If you'd like to play out your characters' reaction to getting glitterbombed, you can do that here - then come to the shop and give Percy a piece of your mind. :D]

Who said anything about the shop?

[OH, LOOK. A GRINNING GINNY.]

I can let you into his room.

[ JUST THE WOMAN SHE WANTED TO SEE. ]

Point out which shampoo is his, too.

Oh, obviously.

Did you want a go at his clean laundry as well?

Ginny!

You'll notice I said clean, not dirty! I'm not about to let her see your underwear. You ought to thank me for sparing your dignity.

Yes, that's what I should be doing.

I'm so glad you agree.

Why not?

Good answer.

[Brightly,]

Clearly you're the sister I never had.

Well, plenty of time to catch up now.

Exactly. I'll take care of the snacks; can't cause mischief on an empty stomach, after all.

[Pause. Innocently,]

And if we get crumbs on Percy's things...
