...

Now, Adam smirked, and let out a small chuckle. Although to most adults this game would seem pretty pointless and stupid, he could understand where the fun came from. ~~Probably because he was still a child at heart. Although he wouldn't play it himself. He'd probably be the first off, broomsticks still didn't seem to like him.~~

"I have to say," he began. "That the idea of this game would definitely appeal to my kids. Yep, he could imagine Saff and Corbin playing it, targeting only each other, and both being equally as good. "Obviously there's still a safety issue here - if they do get knocked off, they could injure themselves -" See, Lor? Adam DID think about the kids safety! "- but I think this could be countered. You can limit the height brooms fly, and you could create a soft landing, like a bouncy castle-ish."

He didn't think he'd ever spoken this much in a meeting. Adam sat back in his chair and sipped at his coffee.

Adam Stemp... Adam Stemp. Lourdes paused for a moment to remember the name. It was sort of familiar, maybe she had encountered it while updating her filing cabinet during the break? Oh! Patents office. She remembered it now. And he was on leave as well so... welcome back for him.

Now for his opinion on Shuntbumps. Of course, maybe this game would determine who were the future Quidditch stars right? It was something one could not miss out. Lourdes wrote down his suggestions... about the height limitations and the bouncy castle thing. Yes, she knew what that was. "And also, perhaps, adult supervision?" They were kids and parents always had that protective instinct within them, no denying.

They both clearly weren't the targeted age anymore, so Charely only had his own memories to rely on.. hmm? He turned his head.

Hm, more impressive ideas from Adam. "Yes.. I think this could remain indoors as well as outdoors." Limit the height of brooms? "Well, they do have low-flying toy broomsticks that don't go any higher than two feet, which seems okay." He owned one for Wade, which still sat in the attic forgotten. "I agree with the bouncing effect, it could also spread from not only the floors but to the walls and other obstacles, to make sure the flyer won't crash into anything other than with each other."

Indoors and outdoors. Well, yes. They couldn't let the kids play outside when it was raining right? Maybe they just needed a bigger space so that there wouldn't be a lot of bumping into walls and furniture. Lourdes smiled and wrote those down. Her employees were really... thoughtful.

You have to expand a product or a game or a sport or a musical artist and they become highly popular all over the world. There should be nothing really stopping anyone from wanting to play quodpot here." Saxon said pointing at the table. Not directly just the people at the table but everyone in general. "The only thing that would stop someone from playing quodpot here is simply their own opinion of the game."

That being said Saxon then thought about the next sport that was brought up onto the board behind Lourdes. She glanced at it for a couple of seconds and began to think up of some things. She paid close attention to this Adam fellow and nodded when she agreed to some of his points. "Like he said, " Saxon pointed at Adam, "it is dangerous for these kids. Parents would not like this. But, I guess it always depends on the age of the children playing the sport. Quidditch focuses on kids ages 12 and up, and they do fall, occassionally, from high distances. Would these kids playing shuntbumps also be playing at such heights? We have to take into consideration how well these kids can fly, being such a young age, their ability may not be perfect and they could possibly be a danger to themselves."

Also, Saxon thought up of something very random, "It also, to me, sounds like a game that beaters would like to play. Maybe beaters from quidditch teams could give this game a try? Perhaps its just my train of thought, but yes."

Then the man with the nice hair added that the game could be played in a enclosed space and that the walls and grounds would be padded. Yes. That was a very smart idea that had never entered Saxon's mind. "The padded walls and floor sounds like an excellent idea."

So Saxon seemed more like a person who wanted to try other things? But she was thinking for the other people as well. She liked this one, Lourdes did.

And yes, she understood what Saxon meant with the Quodpot. Lourdes wrote that down in a separate parchment so as not to mix it up with the other things she had wrote down.

"We can set up a height limitation, especially if children younger than 12 years of age want to play as well." Kids will be kids, honestly. Then... beaters! Lourdes liked how the younger blonde connected random things. It was pretty... nice. But Lourdes was a Keeper. Was. She had left that sort of life already but still remained faithful to the Harpies.

Padded walls and floors, got it. Lourdes wrote that down on her parchment.

He seemed to step up whether meaning to or not and agree with her. Eyes lingering a little to long on him as the Lourdes spoke of the next game. Her focus going back to the group as children were mentioned.

"I think this would be a great family oriented event. Let's face it children like to be involved in things and parents need times were they can watch there kids but in a social area. This is the best of both worlds. I like the height restriction. My son would need that or he would be the dare devil in the group." She could see Bart now going way to high and falling.

"I think it's a great way to get children involved in flying at an early age as well. Why not promote a start to possibly quidditch by using this game." The younger they start the better she guess and if it was safe than there was no reason not to. She would let Bart play if he wanted why not.

Personally, Lourdes too agreed with Shuntbumps as a family-oriented sort of game. There was bonding, most especially between kids and siblings. Maybe even neighbors and cousins. Every kid in general. How very thoughtful of Victoria about her son. Maybe he would be a future Quidditch star too? Who knows... there were scouts wandering around and some of them were looking for potentials players at Hogwarts.

Nodding to everything her employee said, Lourdes finally wrote them down on the parchment. She had a nice list of opinions from her employees so far... but time to move on.

Ah, finally. Second to the last question. At least the meeting was about to end and Lourdes could finally have some rest afterwards in her office. "We're almost about to end our meeting. Two more games and then we can finally wrap it up." Yay? "The next game is..." Lourdes flicked her wand and then, again, everything on the board about Shuntbumps disappeared. ~~She didn't like the next game, honestly~~.

Stichstock
- Originated in Germany
- Consists of a single twenty-foot pole topped with an inflated dragon bladder
- Eventually died out in the 14th century

Lourdes exhaled for a moment. "... Stichstock." She didn't want to think about an inflated dragon bladder and she already expected things from her employees. Negative things.

OOC: Just keep hanging on, guys! We're almost done and you can finally play around and do personal RPs. Stichstock info can be found here. Again, you have another 20-24 hours from this post to respond. =)
