Wonka Sweets Shop - OPEN

Tonks let herself into the shop, and called a greeting to Wonka, who was in the lab in the back. She donned a plain black apron, and straightened a few boxes. She smiled and glanced at the candy, trying to straighten anything that looked out of place. Occasionally, she would sing softly to herself, "I watched the water's surface where the light swayed..." It seemed to be the only line of the song she remembered. She regarded the candy, twirling her wand in her fingertips.

Paige walked in wondering maybe candy would help make amends with all the people the eviol one had mesed with. She wanted to get something for Geoff as well, just to show she was thinking of him, not that she could stop if she wanted to.

She looks a little suprised when she sees the new girl

"Erm Hi, I', after something.." she bites her lip trying to think of the word she wants "traditional?" she pulls a confused face

Tonks frowned, tugging at a bit of hair that fell into her face. With a slight sigh, she made the strand shorter - it was always easier to just change the way the follicles lay.

When the customer came in, she looked up with a smile "Oh, hi!" She greeted cheerfully. "Traditional? Maybe you'll want truffles? Or one of Wonka's classic Wonka Bars?"

Paige bites her lip again, "erm I was thinking something a little more...old fashioned, they had candy in the 14th century right?" she sounds completely unsure about this

She looks up at the girl, "I like your hair btw, it's cool. You're new right?"

Paige just hopes she hasn't heard all the rumours about her yet

"Thanks," Tonks said warmly, "I was going to make it pink like I usually do, but I just figured I should try something different today... this is actually how it is when I'm resting."

"Um...well, traditional. Hmm," Tonks blinks, "We have some really old-fashioned candy. It's very rich, a perfect gift, and lavish. It's actually sinfully good." She winked, "Possibly to good to be legal."

Paige smiles, "Oh you can glamour? Cool! I can do that, well could, my powers have been a little off lately."

She laughs a little "I'll take the sinfully good candy then, I'm Paige by the way," she says offering her hand but looking worried

Tonks took her hand cheerfully, shaking it gently. "Nymphadora Tonks." She flashed a genial grin, "Glamour...I guess you can call it that. C'mon," she said, leading Paige to a display of luxuriant packages of extavagant chocolates.

"Nymphadora huh? That's erm quite a mouthful!" she smiles following her,

"so if you wouldn't call it glamouring what would you call it? I mean I've read a few books and that's what they said, I could change my hair color at will until recently, now it's kinda stuck black."

"Yeah, my fool of a mother named me," Tonks said, "My school friends and my family call me Dora, but basically everyone else just calls me Tonks."

"I...call it morphing. I can change just about anything - heigh, hair color, eyes, face - about myself. It's all magic-based, but you have to be born with it or not. Where I come from the "condition" is called being a metamorphmagus... and the use of it needs to be registered with the ministry. There's so many laws..." She massaged her neck roughly with her fingertips.

Paige bites her lip, "oh god! I souldn't be registered should I? I mea I think it's in my school file but well I don't want to get into trouble any more than I already am at least That sounds like a pretty cool power though, being able to change everything about yourself, if you messed up really badly you could just become someone else!"

"That's why it's so watched over in my dimension..." She paused before adding, "And why it was so hard for me as a kid." She tugged at the edge of her Weird Sisters t-shirt. "So you're a student up at the school, hey?"

Paige bites her lip, "sorry you had a tough time when you were young at least you've nor been possessed, that I know of anyway!. Yeah I'm a student, it's a kinda wierd place, I try not spend too much there if I don't have to, there are gremlins and vampires up there, plus I'm kinda looking out for someone in town."

She looks over the boxes trying to work out which Geoff would like best

"That weird, huh?" Tonks leaned against the wall, her shoulders slumping. She tried again to massage an annoying kink from her neck. "Have you actually met any gremlins? Y'know," her tone took on a friendly, conspiratory tone, "I've got a few books on vampire dealings, if you want to borrow one." She grinned.

Paige smiles, "I've not seen the gremlins myself no, I've been lucky there, they seem to have some sort of poisonous venom. And yeah a book might be handy seeing as so far the person who's told me anything about them was a vampire and was lying to me."

She picks up a box that contains crystalised violets and ginger

"Are you ok Tonks?" she asks looking genuinely worried

"I'm fine!" Tonks answered easily. "I've just got a cramp in my neck and it's kinda painful. I'll try to find some of those books for you - I used to be an Auror, so I've got a bit of a collection... That looks nice," she nodded towards the box. "Hey, um... you don't read the Tentacle, do you?" She asked.

Paige takes a deep breath oh shit "Is that the one that called me a whore? Or the one that suggested I'd been the one to break up with Geoff?"

She sighs and bites her lip trying not cry

"Mm. I never believe any of that tabloid-crap I read anyway. Even if it's true, I wouldn't care, since that's the complete opposite of any kind of impression you've made on me. It seems suspiciously like Rita Skeeter's work to me." Tonks shrugged, "I was just going to ask if you knew whether or not they were right about the cloud in the pub."

Paige smiles, "Thanks Tonks, but yeah the thing about the fear toxin was true, a lot of really freaky stuff happens here, zombie attacks, evil souls taking over people's bodies, hot blond famous poets arriving and breaking your heart!"

she sighs, "yeah it's an eventful little town."

"Eventful might just be an understatement, from what I've heard." Tonks frowned for a moment and her hair shortened and stiffened into bright pink spikes. "I don't know too much about what's what around here yet, though."

Paige looks at her hair "wow, that's pretty cool."

She thinks for moment, "right well there's Spike's pub, that's erm ok. If you like poetry there's alway Chaucer's" Paige pauses for a moment wondering why she's still trying to get business for him

"There's a cinema, coffee shop, the park's pretty nice too, there's a pond with ducks to feed if you feel like you need to relax a bit."

She hand's Tonks the box of chocolates, "I'll take these then. And if you need anyone to show you around well it looks like I'm gonna have a bit of time of my hands."

"That'd be great, actually." Grinning, Tonks led the way back to the cash register, efficiently totaling the amount. She rang up the package, and slipped it into a shiny, gold-colored bag.

Paige handed over the money, "cool, well whenever you want. I don't seem to have that many classes at the moment. So I'm free a lot and well I think I can be in town without anything bad happening now, so yeah just call me" Paige smiles again, maybe this week wasn't going to be quite as bad as she thought

"I'll be sure to." Tonks promised, eyes twinkling with warmth.

Paige takes the bag, "Right just have to write the letter now" she says more or less to herself

"Thanks a lot Tonks, I hope I'll see again soon." Paige gives her a genuine smile, "and I hope you're neck feels better soon."

Cameron passes by Wonka's. He looks inside but doesn't notice Vala anywhere and moves on once more. He really should drop by later again when he's found her and buy some more of those chocolates.
