Saturday, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes

[fredoftheburrow.livejournal.com]

Fred opened the shop, and deciding it was a lovely day to burst into feather, set out a complimentary tray of Canary Creams for customers to sample. He also laid out the door mat, as usual.

[ooc: please say whether you step on the mat]

Oooh, new place he hadn't been. Probably a good way to kill some free time. Jude skated to a stop in front of the shop and tucked his board under his arm, sauntering through the door, stepping on the mat on his way.

"Oww! My eye!" the mat screamed.

Fred grinned at the newcomer.

Jude glanced down, seemingly unconcerned that a mat was talking to him. "Oh, sorry, mat-dude."

He looked at the redheaded dude and waved a small salute. "Yo."

Clark did indeed step on the mat as he entered.

"Go on then!" the mat wailed, "just tread on me like I don't even matter!"

Fred chuckled at it.

"Welcome to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes!" he exclaimed. "Like the mat?"

Clark leaped in surprise when the mat spoke, and automatically stammered an apology to it. Then he looked up at the apparent proprieter and then back down at the mat.

"Is, is it okay?"

Fred chuckled again.

"Oh, it's fine--just a spell. It's an Insulting Doormat," he explained. Fred stuck out his hand.

"Weasley's the name--Fred Weasley."

Clark, glad he hadn't actually hurt the door mat, shook his hand. "Clark Kent, pleased to meet you Mr. Weasley."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Kent. Welcome to my joke shop."

Is that what this is. He thought.

"Interesting place you've got here." he said. "What sort of jokes do you sell?" What kind of pranks woudl wizards pull? somehow the joybuzzer and whoopee cushion probably wouldnt' cut it for th em.

"All sorts! Magical aids to the managing of mischief. What's your fancy?"

Clark scratched his head. "Well I don't know I've never been a mischief maker a showoff sometimes really." He pointed at a random item that happened to be the canary creams. "What do those do?"
