[Congrats, Template, you get the rare pleasure of seeing George sitting on the bench outside his shop with a ball he enchanted to curve back to him when it's hit, and a bat in hand- glowering at everyone/thing/it that passes by. So much for starting up a joke shop.]

[Just. Sits beside you. Unenthusiastically dodging the swings and the ball.] Or perhaps they could be polite and send us home.

[gredn0tforge]

D'you think they even know what polite means?

[forgenotgred]

I wouldn't give it much hope.

[gredn0tforge]

[Beats the ball away again.] I s'pose there's always a chance. Might need a reminder every now and again, though.

[forgenotgred]

[Slumps, and then STRUCK WITH AN IDEA.] They're still useful for experiments, you realize.

[gredn0tforge]

[Turns to ask what you mean, BALL TO THE FACE. brb rubbing said face.] Experiments, Fred?

[forgenotgred]

[D| Uses le wand to ward of le ball for the moment.] They can't see us, but suppose they could see a Canary Cream amongst regular ones. They'd still eat it, wouldn't they?

[Y ty, and he puts down the bat/makeshift club.] Only one way to find out, don't you know? [Produces one from his pocket. 83]

Pick a good subject, now- perhaps that bloke in the green suit? [Pointing to one that looks freakishly like Percy.]

[forgenotgred]

A prime target, George. [Heads over to said Percy-lookalike, inspecting him. 8|] Looks like a hungry chap to me.

[gredn0tforge]

Undoubtedly. [Pointing to a coffee cup the guy is holding. 8D] Shall I do the honours, or would you rather?

[forgenotgred]

[83] After you, good brother of mine.

[gredn0tforge]

A pleasure, it is. [DROPS IT IN THE CUP AND WAITS FOR THE MAN TO TAKE A SIP.]

[forgenotgred]

[STANDS THERE WITH A BIG STUPID GRIN ON HIS FACE and will be cackling when it works.]

[gredn0tforge]

[Applause!] Looks like we aren't quite out of business just yet.

[forgenotgred]

Things are starting to look up.

[gredn0tforge]

Most definitely.
