[The device clicks on, and it does look, truly, like Percy intends to actually say something properly on it. He's in Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, which is all decked out for the holidays, and perhaps he means to film an ad or something - but then he's distracted by something above him.]

What in Merlin's name - is that mistletoe? I won't have that. Accio!

[Alas, the Summoning Charm doesn't work, and he mutters something before starting towards the doorway. As he does, a young woman steps through, and he greets her ... and then his cane clatters to the ground as they kiss. This isn't just a regular kiss, ladies and gentlemen, this is a Kiss. When they finally break apart, they're both a bit flushed, and she grins widely at him.]

Merry Christmas to you, too, sir.

[Blushing, Percy looks down and realizes his device is still on. He sputters, fumbling with it, and then the feed abruptly ends.]

[ooc: anyone want to come visit the shop? :D come kiss a ginger!]

Then by all means, stay near the door. Just be aware I may dock your pay per kiss.

Don't worry, I don't wanna get randomly kissed, either. I'll just stick to rearrangin' the shelves or doin' inventory.

Behind the counter looks safe as well. I don't see any mistletoe up there, either.

Don't say that, you'll just jinx it.

[He points. Mistletoe above the cash register.]

Dammit!

[Jimmy edges away from the cash register, but apparently not quickly enough.]

Aw, fuck, you better move, I think I'm gonna try 'n kiss you.

[Jimmy really had no intention of ever kissing a man. Or his boss. But it's not like he could help himself. And the kiss doesn't seem to be ending any time soon.]

[Percy had never really intended to kiss a man, or one of his co-workers, either. (Well, there was Miss King in the Muggle Liaison office, but that was neither here nor there.) But here he is, clutching the lapels of Jimmy's suit jacket, and kissing him soundly in the middle of the shop.]

[When the kiss ends, Jimmy pulls away, shaking his head, looking down at the floor with something like embarrassment.]

That wasn't, uh...

[He doesn't know how to phrase it.]

I mean, sorry.

It's the City, Mr. Darmody.

[He's blushing, and he adjusts his tie, looking anywhere but at Jimmy.]

Go see to the customers, and if you see anyone snogging, please try to separate them.

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

Uh, yeah, yeah, sure.

[And he's just going to skedaddle away from the counter, because that was not how he intended to spend his day, and he's even more confused by the fact that it wasn't a particularly bad kiss, considering.]
