[The post is coming from Fred's device, but when the video feed clicks on, George is standing there with a grin and.....flowers coming from the hole where his ear used to be. Several of them, bright as the glint in his eyes. Something is clearly Not Quite Right, but he looks right as rain.]Know something, City? 's a bit annoying, waking

[Cue one bewildered little sister who isn't sure if her brothers are taking the mickey again or not.]

It's Gred and Forge again, is that it?

[That's the Big Question, isn't it? Who's to say if they're even sure.]

Isn't it always, Gin?

[She... has fallen for their swapping too many times to count in their childhoods, so she's being wary now.]

Shame you haven't got jumpers with your letters on them. You could've taken pity on us and given some clues. Except-oh, wait, your ear.

[Dry, so dry. COME ON, GEORGE, YOU CAN'T FOOL HER. RIGHT? ....right?]

I'm sorry, what was that?

[He turns the flowers towards her, cupping them as though they're his replacement for a lack of ear.]

Couldn't quite catch all that, can you try again?

[ Of course, the day after she gets a promotion to department head and the one time she's not hit by a weekend curse, Arthur is turned into a deer. Of course. To top it off, when she went out for a cigarette (she really is developing a habit, if that's her go-to for stress relief), she ran into Mr. Orange -- only aged by about twenty years and completely unaware that they'd met before. One conversation filled with daddy issues later, and she's out again, this time on the way home from grocery shopping because they didn't have much fit for a fawn to eat at home. ]

[It's been an interesting day for all of them, it seems, though the twins seem to be less preoccupied caring for wildlife and more preoccupied taking the mickey out of each other. They might share bodies down to the very last freckle, but to have actually swapped them? It's an entirely new sort of strange, one that very clearly has to be bestowed upon the City common, which might be how they end up coming across Ariadne in her travels. Flowers still in ear, Fred (George?) grins and pulls one free, walking over to her.]

Flower for the lovely lady?

[oneminutemaze]

[ There are several things that make Ariadne stop and wonder if jokes are being pulled on her. That said, Fred and George individually are so off-the-wall at times that the fact that there are flowers in George's earhole has her raising an eyebrow, but not automatically assuming anything is up. ]

Trying out a new look?

[ She shifts her bags, reaching to take the flower. If it hadn't just been in his ear, it would be much a much cuter gesture. ]

[That's just absurd, when's anything suspicious with the twins? They are good-hearted, absolutely normal people that would never ever try to pull one over on a mate.

That said, though, wouldn't it be more suspicious if they hadn't come from his ear?]

You'd be surprised how difficult it is to keep up with the newest fads. I've really got to renew my subscription to One-Eared Wonders.

[feorgeous]

[And sob, Fred's awful and only sees this as an opportunity.]

Who, us? Not in the least bit. That's just absurd.

♥!

Then there's clearly only one solution here.

We're secretly aliens.

W--..What on earth? [ She looks ... so puzzled. ] Please tell me the two of you have simply taken a bit much polyjuice potion...

[ingredible]

Why on earth would we use polyjuice potion on each other, Hermione?

[knowledgeably]

Oh, please! This has your names written all over it. The chaos, the utter -- insanity of something like this... It is a joke, isn't it?

Re: video;

[ingredible]

It's a joke, alright, but not from us.

[tangledintower]

Wait, I don't get it. What happened?

...oh, did you two get swapped?

[ingredible]

What on Earth gave you that idea?

[feorgeous]

I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.

[tangledintower]

You two are terrible, you know that? Funny, though.

You think you'll get confused, all swapped up like that?
