Sonorus!

"Back in days of yore," he began in a booming voice, "Only the most brave and talented fliers would risk their lives for a broom game. For an old Gaelic poem tells us of the tragedy that surrounded this ancient game."

He cleared his throat.

"The players assembled, twelve fine, hearty men.
They strapped on their cauldrons, stood poised to fly.
At the sound of the horn they were swiftly airborne
But ten of their number were fated to die."


Vindictus stopped and flashed his award-winning smile.

"Who can tell the class what game I'm referring to?"


they were gonna play a game of what for their final!? and did that poem mention DIEING. enough people have died this term and Ariana was NOT gonna be one of them. No sir not today

He then gave it a simple swish and flick to lift the purple tarps off of the items they were covering.

Two piles of black cauldrons were revealed to the class. In place of handles, each had thick, brown leather straps.

"Each of you needs to grab a cauldron and strap it to the top of your head. Please do this now or risk irreversible brain damage and possible death when we start playing the game."

Smirk.

But you know, just so that Vindictus understood that he, West, would in fact MAN UP, he flexed. See? He was good.

But some of the GIRLS might not be, you know.


was west alright? it was JUST a cauldron and they weren't THAT heavy boy. then again ariana was older and bigger then him. Odessa was just a little thing yeah. she'd just go with that.. strange boy he was. strange strange.

"You heard your classmates correctly. Rocks and boulders are going to rain down on you and your task is to catch as many of them in the cauldron that's strapped to your heads!"

Dramatic pause.

"All of you have scrawny necks. They're gonna snap like a twig when the first rock or boulder strikes your cauldron. Hmm... I've got it!" He pointed his wand at the pile of cauldrons and tapped it once, then he pointed it towards the sky and gave it another flick. "CONLESCO!" he said in a firm voice as he drew an invisible line above the heads of the students with his wand in a quick fluid motion. A shower of magenta stars rained down on the students.

"There. The Featherweight Charm should do the trick. Do the cauldrons feel any lighter on your heads?"

STARRRRSSSSSSSS!! Ariana looked around and admired them for a moment pretttyyy if only she could catch one.. mehh but she knew it was magic though she knew it was just magic and then POOF they were lighter.. the cauldrons were lighter. heh Cool!points for you professor

"Again, the goal in Creathoceann is to catch as many rocks and boulders as you dare in the cauldrons strapped to your heads," he explained and he now pointed his wand at one end of the stadium where the Quidditch goal hoops were missing. With a swish and flick, the disillusionment charm was lifted to reveal hundreds of rocks that were the size of Muggle softballs.



"Some of you are slipping in your powers of observation. I'm absolutely shocked that no one noticed the absence of the goal hoops. Tsk, tsk!"

Smirk.

"These are, ahem, rocks which have been charmed to rain down upon you as you fly around the pitch and try to catch them. One of the charms on them is designed to make them lighter so that you won't get knocked out when they hit the inside of your cauldron or break an arm, leg, hand, or foot if they strike your body. The only thing that will happen are light scratches and bruises," he explained rather matter-of-factly. "Well, maybe a broken nose if your face gets in the way."

"Now where was I? Oh, yes! Since this is your final, it's not going to be easy. If you fall off your broom, the rocks have been enchanted to fall out of your cauldron and zoom back into the sky. The goal is for you to catch 24 of the rocks. Some of you may catch more or less - the objective is to try to play this ancient Gaelic game. It may sound easy but it's not. Remember, no one can use magic and no stealing rocks out of other people's cauldrons. Good luck and may your headaches begin!"

He gave his wand a wave and the rocks soared into the air. Vindictus brought his silver whistle up to his lips and a shrill sound filled the air.

TWEET!

As soon as the whistle was sounded, the rocks began to gently rain down from the sky. As they hit the grass on the pitch, they zoomed back into the sky and started raining down once more.

OOC: Perfection is not expected - just have fun RPG the activity and interacting with each other as you try to catch the rocks falling from the sky! Points are going to be rewarded for each of your creative posts. This task should take at least 15 posts to complete (chat-only posts will not be counted), and you can earn up to 40 points for your role-playing efforts. This final will end on Friday night, so don't wait until the last minute!


And Ariana DID notice that the goal posts were gone for one she just didn't find it really relative or important and now they could start right? yeah? Ariana listen to everyyyword he said... kinda.. heh. she mounted the gross school broom and wished she could have her OWN out here but MEH school rulesss. as much as they stinked she had to obey them and boo. and then the whistle sounded and ariana heard the rocks begin to fall and she pushed off the ground and soaaareddd through the sky but not before a few of those darn rocks knocked on the side of her cauldron and one hit the tip of her broom and almost made her fly forward and off her broom. thank merlin she played quidditch and knew how to save herself from that one. Along her flying route she managed to catch not one but TWO rocks and she wasn't even trying! Awesomesauce!
