WHO: Everyone! IC/OC
WHEN: mid-morning, Saturday, 16 December 1999
WHERE: Abercrombie & King Custom Brooms, Diagon Alley
SUMMARY: Grand Opening of the Store
RATING: Low

Aureliana had to remind herself that the grand opening for the storefront was supposed to be a celebration, but also laid-back, with the focus on the brooms rather than the party itself. A meet and greet with Jason took place several times throughout the event and kids could come in and enjoy the Build A Mini Broom station where they could "customize" a little palm-sized toy broom.

The centerpiece of the store was Jason's new racing broom for everyone to admire. If you were interested in purchasing a custom broom yourself, someone was available to make an appointment. For everyone who was not in the immediate market for a new broom, there was also a line of accessories available for purchase. Gloves, goggles, broom maintenance kits, and the like.

There is a selection of finger sandwiches, cheese, veggies, cupcakes, and Scottish shortbread to snack on. Butterbeer and sparkling wine are also available. For favors, there are little goodie bags filled with chocolate candies fashioned to look like brooms.

	The topic of players retiring due to injury was one she was aware of but not intimate with until recently, and it still made her uneasy. Articulating one's thoughts is more difficult than shoving them back down to deal with later, which is exactly what she did. Maggie nodded, slowly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hungover. You might've noticed." She replies with a wry smile, except it's at, ah, Florrie's shoulder instead of her face. Just about done with the lights and lack of proper eyesight, she slips her sunglasses back on. "S'all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I will. Just wanted to see the shiny new brooms before I put 'em on my owl to Father Christmas." Now that things were back in focus and she could actually make out features again, her eyes fixed on Florrie instead of whatever piece of scenery was available. You know, in the WC. "M'last designated appetizer gave me more issues than he solved, so ta, but I'm braw."

	Florrie had been going to take Maggie herself, but after that, she felt like she oughtn't offer. "All right, but if you feel worse later, come get me and I'll take you side-along." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A final nod and an "Aye," before she motions her head toward the door. Gently. Very gently. "We might wanna let the public back in though, before a riot starts." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Florrie nodded and moved to unlock the door. "Could be worse. Could've been in here this long and left it full of boak." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
