As you approach this end of the Alley, you will hear the noises well before you get in sight of a cleared circular space and a colorful sign reading 'Magical BUMPER Cars!'. But these are not your typical bumper cars, oh no. For one thing, these cars are floating about a foot off the ground, for they are powered by, of course, magic!

Get inside one, if you're feeling adventurous, and steer it as best you can at your fellow drivers (but watch out, for they'll be steering at you, too). How do you steer, you ask? Hopefully you've been paying attention in Muggle Studies class, because these cars, though magical, are steered with a good old-fashioned steering wheel. Turn left to go left, right to go right, and hold it steady in the center to go straight ahead. Turn the wheel all the way in either direction, and back you go! And there are the two pedals at the bottom of the car--the pedal on the right makes it go faster and the pedal on the left makes it stop.

And hold on to your hats if someone gets hit, because anything could happen--perhaps it will be a shower of colored sparks shooting over you (perfectly harmless, of course), or perhaps you will be hit by a bushel of feathers. You might find yourself under a magical shower of rain (which dries immediately, leaving the most elaborate hair style unharmed). Perhaps a garden of flowers will sprout around you from the bottom of your car. Whatever it is, it will be both harmless and temporary, so fear not, and start your engines! (And for anyone who gets a little too carried away, be aware that your car might just lose power on its own and sink gently to the floor for a little time out--so no rough stuff!)

OOC: RP your character entering the bumper car and use the steering wheel to steer it. If you try to hit someone, please don't RP the result for them--let your target decide if they got hit and if so, what happened. And remember--play nice! This is all in good fun.
