The second he stepped foot into the store, however, he immediately regretted his decision. He nearly got pelted RIGHT IN THE EYE by some chocolate chips, and that wasn't the only thing flying around.

What in the name of MERLIN!?

"Arresto Momentum!" he exclaimed, pulling out his wand and giving it a wave. It wasn't going to fix whatever the cause of this candy rain of chaos was, but it would at least stop things from nearly giving him a corneal scratch.

Isley had been trying to get everything under control on her own but was clearly failing when a gentleman came in and used the Velocity charm to get everything to stop, and it actually worked! She looked around and all of the different toppings that had been flying around in the air were suddenly stationary in the air. She turned to the gentleman, covered head to foot in all kinds of candies and syrups from the magical bar and said, "Hah...Why didn't I think of that! Thank you so much!" She would have shook his hand but....well...he probably didn't want to get sticky. "Your order is on the house sir! Just give me a few mi--," she was cut off mid sentence by a rumbling noise coming from the toppings bar.

"Oh, no." She whispered.

At all.

So, here she was. Today her will broke on the way back to her shop after having lunch at the Leaky Cauldron with Tammers and the thought of ice cream to cap it off was just too tempting to resist.

"Er..." Perhaps she should have resisted a bit more. "This isn't something you say everyday. New experimental feature gone haywire?" Wouldn't be the first time Lexi had been apart of that. She hugged the door, just out of the path of flying toppings while trying to assess the situation. And nope...she got nothing.

"How can I...?" ...help?

With a sudden, rather commanding voice, the flying toppings froze in air. Huh, that was one way to do it. Lexi, honestly, had been so enraptured by the flying candy and other toppings she hadn't even noticed the dude standing next to her until his quick thinking.

"Well, that's one thing less to worry about. But how do we fix it? Anyway I can help?"

After the scary noise happened, Lexi came in, she was sure she looked awful at the moment but she didn't know what else to do. "Hey, Lexi. Not new...this was put in by the previous owner...but the last year or so it just goes crazy and starts spewing everything everywhere. Usually all I have to do is tap the top with my wand and say reset, and it goes back to normal, but this time...," She was almost in tears, "...it just wouldn't stop." Isley took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She really didn't need this right now.

A creaking sound started on top of the rumbling. "That's not good..."

SPOILER!!: Emmalyn & Daisy

Suddenly two young ladies standing next to her asking how they could help, and Isley quickly noticed the caramel in on of the girls hair. "Oh, no! Your hair! I'm so sorry!" She couldn't handle too much more of this!

But she took a deep breath and set her shoulders. She was a witch. She could handle this. She turned to the two young girls "I don't know what you can do at the moment. With the noises it's making...it might be about to blow. So stay where you are for right now and if there is anything I need I will let you know." She said with an appreciative smile.

Isley stalked forward towards the toppings bar when all of a sudden it started hissing out steam. Isley's got huge and her mouth dropped open. She turned and look at the others around her, "TAKE COVER!"

A few seconds later the toppings bar exploded! Cookies, gummy bears, chocolate chips, you name it, were spewing out in every direction covering everything around it. The walls, the ceiling...the people standing near by. Luckily the booths and tables weren't very close so no one over there was in the war path. The windows over the ice cream bar were covered, however. That was going to be interesting.

In a final spurt of caramel and chocolate syrup, the toppings bar shut down, a red light flashing 'Error' on the side. "Ya think." She said shaking her head at the machine. Isley, covered head too foot, looked like some sort of candy monster. She turned to look at the group around her, and sighed. "I...am so sorry."

What. A. Mess.

The shopkeeper appeared to be trying to get things under control, but a large blob of caramel flung her way and landed in her hair. It looked as if there were topping flying every which way and some even exploding. "What's going on? How can I help?" She wasn't exactly sure what to do, but she had her wand out and was ready to follow any directions given. If she could take on a army of Inferi, she could certainly face off with crazed toppings. She turned back towards her booth "Daisy! Come and help." Her friend was much better at wand work than she was, and even if magic wasn't necessary, an extra set of hands to help clean up would be nice. When she turned back around, another man (Javier) was there to help. He had his wand out and was commanding the toppings to stop. He was quickly joined by another woman (Lexi) Quote: Originally Posted by Ginevra Daisy moved towards where the various toppings were chaotically sprouting all over the place.
