WHO: Fred Weasley, Jack Harkness
WHAT: Meeting
WHEN: Backdated to before the spread of the illness / game plot
WHERE: For The Lulz
RATING: TBD, never possible to tell when Harkness is involved.
STATUS: In Progress

It was rare for Fred to have friends come visit him at his shop (beside the occasional Hermione) -- mostly because despite all his social banter he didn't really have a ton, and the ones he did have already worked at the shop with him. So the prospect of making a new friend who was coming to visit at the shop was doubly exciting. Exciting enough for him to secure the rest of the day off to go do friend-type things with this person if he ended up being cool enough, anyway.

Whatever that meant.

And if nothing else? Well, he'd drummed up a bit of business for himself and his twin brother. And that was always a plus.

A joke shop. It was one of the last places Jack had expected to visit, but it certainly sounded like a fun way to spend some time. And from the little they'd spoken to each other online, Fred seemed like a nice enough guy with a wicked sense of humor. Jack could only imagine what things at the shop must be like if the brother was anything like Fred.

He pushed open the door and smiled as he walked inside, tucking his sunglasses into the inner pocket of his jacket. Jack looked around and headed towards the ginger haired young man that matched the photo from the net profile. "Fred? Hi... Jack Harkness. Nice to meet you," he said, flashing a smile and extending a hand.

	For every new person to walk into the door and address one of the twins by name, Fred had to fight the terrible, terrible urge to pretend that he was George just to fuck with people. It was more difficult than many might presume. Giving a half-laugh turned into a cough, Fred grinned wildly and shook Jack's hand. "A pleasure," he agreed amiably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"So give me the grand tour of the place. I think I can honestly say that I've never been in an actual joke shop before," Jack said. He grinned as he looked around, nodding to himself as he just took it all in. "You said that you and your brother run and own this place?"

This was definitely going to be fun today. And considering he hadn't been doing much except for working lately, Jack was in need of a little fun. And not even the kind that generally involved getting naked.

"How long have you two been in business for?"

	"She doesn't mind it as much as you'd think a little sister might," Fred said, amused. "She does work for Disney. Mostly for kids and little boys who are discovering their sexuality, probably." Clearly, it was not Fred's fault if someone bought the cutout for not mustachioed purposes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Live action. She's on... some show." It was hard to remember what it was called, because for him it was just The Ginny Show. On top of that, it was just hard to watch tv with his little sister in it. He laughed, waiving it off. "I thought that was still how children came to be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fred gave a cackle that made more than one of the baristas turn around and give him a funny look -- but it certainly couldn't be helped. "Oh man ," he said, "that's bloody brilliant, mate. I've been here so long I don't even know how my accent's maintained -- but I nearly forgot about the slang differences." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sometimes I'll do it just for fun to see how people react. No one knows what the hell a lift is, but they're starting to get used to it. Plus even when talking like this, I still pronounce certain words different... like schedule." Jack thanked the barista and handed Fred his coffee before picking up his own.
