Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something... Victoria looked up from her clipboard as she heard someone coming near. Hoping it wasn’t her ex-husband’s wife she gave the boy a smile. “Hello, Victoria Maroon. Nice to meet you Mr. Odessa. Yes you could do some warming up, but as soon as the rest are here we will be starting.” She looked around the pitch and then at her watch. She had a bit more time so maybe she should walk over and speak with Becky.
Just as she was going to Vic heard a familiar voice. “Good morning Mariel.” She nodded to her boss. “Everything seems to be running smooth so far, but I’ll let you know.” She had been working hard on making sure things were finalized since returning from her vacation, so Victoria didn’t have any doubts it would run smoothly. Glancing at another person coming up she recognized him and adjusted her clipboard to one arm. “Mr. Salvatore very nice to see you. Thank you so much for coming and helping out today. I’m Victoria Maroon. If you’d like some time to warm up all our chasers are not here yet.” She figured she didn’t have to really show him the pitch since they were on it.
Oh and another one, very good she thought as she looked at her list. “Mr. Branxton, I’ve heard our name a time or two. Victoria Maroon, you might know my son.” She had heard of all these names actually, but Bart never missed a beat when it came to Quidditch. Looking at the time again and then at the growing amount of people that had come to watch she decided that maybe it was a good time to start. Any other chasers could just jump in once they arrived. Her eyes looked up once more seeing, was that Brennan Cooper? She didn’t expect to see him today, “Right now actually sir.”
She wasn’t one to really speak in front of a group and she certainly didn’t feel important enough to do it, so this was just awkward for her. Moving so that she was in front of everyone she cleared her throat. “Thank you everyone who’s come out. With the recent cancelation of Quidditch at Hogwarts myself and Miss Morgan, I mean Mrs. De La Garza.” Whoops she still hadn’t been use to saying that yet. “felt it was needed to have something so that scouts, coaches, managers, and owners could see the talent that the school has.” Giving the boys a smile of encouragement. “Mr. Salvatore was kind enough to come and be our keeper for this tryout today. What you will be doing is working together just as you would in a match to get the quaffle down the field and into the hoops. Mr. Salvatore will be there doing his job by trying to block your shots. Good luck everyone you may begin.” Moving over to the trunk she popped a quaffle out and tossed it towards Mr. Odessa. It was time to see what they could do. Rebecca had just found a seat when she saw Mariel whatever her new name was sit down. “Hello. You know I wish you would have chosen better place to hold this tryout, really you would think a ministry department would have more sense. Though I can’t expect much when you actually have Victoria running things.” Ridiculous the woman was still working there after all her formal complaints.
Noticing a player she listened as he said his name and made a mental note. Her blasted step son talked about these people, but she could have cared less. She had to see what they were worth before she cared. Seeing Beck Salvatore enter the pitch did perk her interest though. Maybe this wouldn’t be such a waste of day, she could watch this most likely untalented group of children and steal a great beater away from the tornados. She was still waiting to hear from Cameron on his decision and it would just be splendid if she could take two away from that cruddy team.
Her eyes moved to Kieran Kavanaugh , [b] “Finally decide to join this side of the world Kieran? Do you really think you have what it takes? It’s not just tossing a quaffle around anymore. Seeing another child come in Rebecca couldn’t be more annoyed. They all were skinny, how on earth could they handle the pro’s. Her expectation was falling faster and faster and it was very low to start with. Tapping her freshly manicured nails on her knee she as happy when Cooper came in and asked about it getting started. “Cooper, don’t trust your employees to find you young talent?” Not that she blamed him, she’d never trust anyone that worked for the Catapults to find her talent. No she did that all herself.
Listening to Victoria talk was like getting teeth pulled the muggle way. Really the woman was just awful at this job, but at least she finally got it move. So hopefully they will see some talent soon. Ooc: Hey guys! Thanks for coming out! This is the official start of the chaser part. Just go ahead and get in the air and RP with each other. Emily when you get here with Theo just jump right in!! Just RP it out however you would like and then when your charrie tosses it in Bre can Rp Beck blocking or it going past him!
