Ryan had followed right after Braxton too. He, like Braxton, took no notice of the people trying to get out of the shop and just wound his way past them. His dad who had been back with Brax's parents was wondering where Ryan's manners had gone to today. It seemed like he had left them back at the hotel or something, because this was the second time he failed to use them. "Yes please do." Jason said right after Brax's mother as he held the door open to let everyone pass in or out before he entered the store himself.

Braxton took no notice of the adults making appoligies for them. No, he was far to busy looking at a particular stand of joke items, and was in aw at the sheer number of items that there were to choose from. How was he ever going to pick just a couple? And that was assuming that his parents would even let him have that many. "Hey Ry," Brax said trying to get Ryan's attention. "Come and have a look at these." Braxton was currently looking at the everbashing boomerang. He probably wouldn't actually be allowed to get it, what with his mom here and all, but still it was cool to look at them.

Hearing his name Ryan made his way over to what Braxton was indicating and looked at it. An everbashing boomerang He read on the sign. That sounded like it could be fun. I wonder if it really is everlasting? Or if it wears out at some point. he thought to himself as he read the brief description of the item. "Those are cool." Ryan said with a smile picking one up out of there display and giving it a closer look. "I wonder how you can get it back once you've thrown it?" he thought out loud. He didn't really see that is was worth it if you only got to throw it once, so there had to be some way to recall it after you have thrown it.

"That's a good question," Braxton replied as he tried to read the discription to see if it said whether or not it could be recalled. "Maybe it is just a one time use thing. After all it would be kind of funny to see it banging down a hallway or something." Brax added as he visualized it banging off walls and light fixtures as a crowd of people ducked. Of course he would probably never throw such a thing, but it was funny to think about. Who knew with the right incentive he might throw it, but it would have to be a good one to give up such a thing. After all he didn't really get many things, and therefore was a little cautious at using what he did get.

"Maybe." Ryan said replacing the boomerang back into it's display container, "That would be amusing." He wasn't really sure what he was going to get and decided to look around a bit more before loadin gup anything. Right next to the boomerangs where fanged frisbees. Now those looked interesting to him. "Brax have you ever seen one of these?" he asked motioning to one of the frisbees that was layin gon the table. The discription said that it snarled and nashed it's teeth as it flew through the air.

Braxton looked over at the display next to the everbashing boomerangs. "Nope, I haven't," he said with a smile as he walked over to where Ryan was and looked more closely at the fanged frisbees. He hadn't really seen any of this stuff before considering it was his first time to the joke shop. Of course there were always the things his friends at home had, but they certainly never had one of those. "I wonder if they would actually bite someone," he said as he examined one a little closer, but not too close. After all he didn't want it to turn on him.
Just as the boys had began to look at the fanged frisbees Brax's dad walked over to them. "Oh I remember those," he said with a smile, fondly recalling the one that he had let loose. "There a riot to watch."

"As long as it wasn't me that might be funny." Ryan joked. He wasn't too fond of anything latching itself on to him or biting him, especially when he didn't know how much damage it would do. He couldn't imagine that it would hurt too much considering in the muggle world there were agancies that made sure consumer products were safe and danger free. He assumed that the wizarding world would be the same way. "Are they?" Ryan said turning his attention to Braxton's dad, "So you think they are worth buying?"

"I would definitely get one if it was myself," he said with a smile, "But you guys are going to have to choose which items you want. After all I am sure that they are all fun, or useful anyways." He added the last part after looking over to see the assortment of sckiving snackboxes that were placed not to far away. "Oh and Brax here you go," he said with a smile handing him some money so that he could purchase a few things. It wasn't a lot, but it would be enough for him to get some of the things he wanted.
Meanwhile Corbin was looking at some of the jokes on the other side of the store. His mom was keeping pretty close tabs on him. She didn't want him getting into something and setting the whole store on fire, covering it with muck or anything like that.

Ryan looked over to where Brax's dad had glanced and saw another display of brightly colored items. He didn't have a clue what skiving snackboxes where. "What are those?" he asked picking up one of the fanged frisbees and carrying it over to the other display. He was going to get one of the frisbees. They just sounded like to much fun to pass up and he figured that he could throw it around with Braxton or something when they got bored at the school. Looking at the snackboxes he had really no idea what a nosebleed nouget was or any of the other things that came in them.

Braxton beamed as his dad handed him a handful of money. It was really a treat for him to get any money for anything like this so he was extremely happy about it. "Thanks dad!" He said, a wide smile crossing his face, as he headed over to where Ryan was looking. Braxton didn't know exactly what he wanted so he figured that he would just look around and go back and get what he liked best. After all he had to pick and choose since he was on a limited money supply. "I don't know," Brax said as he picked up one of the packages and read it. "It seem like it makes you have whatever symptom is on the box and then has the antidote on the other side. It says they can be used to get out of whatever it is you need to get out of, and then once your out simply pop the other side into your mouth and your good to go do whatever you like."

"Those could come in useful, I guess." Ryan said trying to think of a time that he had wanted to get out of soemthing but couldn't. It never really occured to him that they could be used to get out of a school lesson, partly because he had never really felt that strongly about skipping a class. He tended to like school and learning new things. the idea did, however, pop into his head that these could come in handy if he were to get some and use them one him mom when she made him go to plays and things. Some of the plays were funny and entertaining while others were just painful to sit though. Yep these would definitely come in hand for those instances he thought as he picked up one of the smaller boxes thinking hard about getting one.

"They could," Braxton said agreeing with him. "But I don't think I would have any need for them. At least right off hand I can't really think of a reason." He didn't really see the point in pretending one was sick to get out of something, after all you would still have to do whatever it was later on, right? Of course Braxton was thinking more along the lines of cleaning his room and stuff like that.
Brax's dad had wandered off to see what his other little guy was doing. He was sure that Corbin would have a fit it he didn't get anything and Braxton did, but still his dad didn't think it was all that good of an idea to let a four year old have joke supplies. No, he would just let Corbin pick something out at the candy store on the way back to the hotel. That way he would get something, but nothing that would prove dangerous to him.

"Ya your probably right." Ryan said putting the skiving snack boxes back on the shelf. He couold see his mother's reaction. She would flip out and call his dad thinking that something was seriously wrong with him if he all of the sudden got a fever or started pucking and then his dad would be mad at him. If he didn't rat him out to his mom, which if he did she would flip, he would definitely let Ryan hear it the next time he saw him or talked to him. "So is there anything you are thinking about getting at the moment?" he asked still carrying around the fanged frisbee. His dad was browsing some of the items in the isle over.

"I'm not sure yet," Braxton said looking around beaming, "I want to get a look at everything before I decide what I want to buy." As he said this he spotted the display of fireworks. Now those were something he might want to get. He loved fireworks and these ones were awesome. The way that they multiplied if you tried to get rid of them, or the way that they combined and made something new if they collided. "Let's go check those over there out," he said with a smile as he pointed over in the fireworks direction.

"Same here. Though I think I will get one of these." Ryan said as he indicated the item he was holding. He looked up and over to where Braxton was pointing to see a giant display of what appeared to be firework, now those were something that he was very familiar with and something he loved. "Ya lets" he said as he started to make his way over to the display. He would be getting some of them for sure, especially if they really were fireworks. How can you pass up fireworks?
