7 Mischiefs Managed - [video]

[greding]

[Hello City! It's everyone's favourite ginger Brit (well, one of several) all up in your device.]

Alright, City? Some of you may be informed of a particular joke shop that a certain pair of wizards will be bringing your way shortly. Seeing as I'm in the neighbourhood, I thought I would treat you all with a little sneak preview.

A wizard with a joke shop?

[He frowns, although this is off-camera so you can't see him anyway.]

I see. You must be performers.

[greding]

Wizards, mate. It's a joint business.

Not in the performance so much as the supply. Let the products speak for themselves, sort of thing. What people do with them after they leave is up to them.

[i_archmagus]

Hm.

And this business is allowed by your Conclave or whatever the governing body of your world is when it comes to magic?

[greding]

The Ministry of Magic? 'course they allow it. They can be real big-headed twats sometimes, but they still don't have any say if a couple of blokes want to open a business. Besides, we'd been right helpful making defense items for ministry employees.

[i_archmagus]

Ah. As long as they profit, then.

In my world, the Conclave of Wizards, the governing body, would find such a thing disgraceful and ban it immediately.

[greding]

Lucky we don't live in your world, mate. Fred and I don't do well with being disgraced or banned.

[i_archmagus]

[He has to laugh at that. It's not a pleasant sound, but it's laughter. Why? Because once, he also did "magic tricks" to earn some copper coins. Predictably, he was scolded by his then master.]

It is fortunate for you, then, that magic can serve such lighthearted purposes.

[greding]

People need a little light in their life, sometimes.

[i_archmagus]

And coins in their pockets.

[A shrug.]

[greding]

Well, we're not really in it for the money.

[...although it helps.]

[i_archmagus]

The simple pleasure of enjoying your craft, then?

[greding]

Something like that, mate.

[i_archmagus]

I shall be sure to come and visit, then.

[He's curious what their magic entails.]

[greding]

You should, yeah. We're opening this weekend.
