[The faces of the passerby's to the device's lens seem to be reflecting a range from distinct lack of interest to mild amusement to extreme confusion. They also appear to be shielding their heads from something, but from the device's position, it isn't quite clear whatThat is, until the throng clears enough for the device

[ regardless of whether he got it right or not, have an applauding alien fairy ]

Oh, that was neat! Do you have some kind of special control over water?

[ action ]

[feorging]

[Quite unlike any fairy he's ever seen, let alone one capable of sensible speech, so forgive him if his eyes marvel for a moment before responding very businesslike.]

Ah, an astute observation, madam, but not quite. I've some kind of control over much more than just water.

[He'll even throw in a wink to sell it all the way.]

[ action ]

[aliveandticking]

[ in a city of humans she's used to being stared at, so that doesn't faze her; she smiles at the wink, though ]

That sounds pretty interesting. I don't know of anything like that! What else can you do?

[ action ]

[feorging]

[It's wonder mostly, so at least there's that rather than scrutiny. Though he may or may not be subconsciously contemplating the effect the Snackboxes'd have on her kind.]

Most anything the mind can imagine, I can make real. That's the beauty of it all.

[ action ]

[aliveandticking]

[ dare her to eat one and you'll find out ]

That sounds like some kind of superpower! Aren't there any limits on what you can do?

[ action ]

[feorging]

[...oh, sweet alien fairy. Never give free reign to a Weasley twin.]

Loads of 'em. Some boring old laws and spells beyond my level, but I'd only consider it a challenge.

[ action ]

[aliveandticking]

[ it's less 'sweet' and more 'never turn down a challenge even if it may make you very ill' ]

I like the way you think! [ she sits down on the lip of the fountain, crossing her legs ] Is that sort of ability common in your world?

[ action ]

[feorging]

[Fred's kind of gal!]

My world, eh? D'you mean to say you aren't just some sort of cleverly advanced fairy or pixie?

[ action ]

[aliveandticking]

Nope! I'm a troll, from a world called Alternia. I guess I kind of look like a fairy, though!

[ action ]

[feorging]

A troll? Bloody Hell, dandiest troll if I ever saw one. The trolls back home are more keen for the grunting and flinging their own bogeys. Cheers to Alternia.

[ action ]

[aliveandticking]

[ she laughs, swinging her legs ] Most other humans think trolls are supposed to be ugly, too. I guess some of us are, but some humans aren't much to look at either!

[ and then, sticking out her hand ] Aradia Megido. Nice to meet you!

[ action ]

[feorging]

[He grins right back.] Truer words have never been spoken, dearie.

[He takes her hand earnestly.] Fred Weasley. Pleasure's entirely mine.

[ action ]

[aliveandticking]

[ what an enthusiastic human! :D ] Like I was saying, is that normal for people on your world? Or maybe different people have different abilities?

[ action ]

[feorging]

Bit of both, really. Plenty of non-magical folk - Muggles, as it were - as well as plenty of magical folk that aren't quite so magically inclined.

[ action ]

[aliveandticking]

Oh, it's the same on Alternia. Some of us are psychic, and some aren't!

[ action ]

[feorging]

Psychics, huh? Are we talking mind reading, fortune telling or spoon bending?

[That last one's a joke. Probably.]
