| Arts TRANSPONSTER! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Aw, Merlin, send help!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!
Anna had to hold up the parchment in front of her face to stop others from seeing her trying to control her silent laughter. It was a good thing the number of hoops each person was flying through was being recorded on the parchment - including Zoryn's, mind you - because Anna was most definitely not paying attention to whatever was going on anymore.
Except for Zoryn's face. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That was too funny! It made her entire year already.
The fifth year took a deep breath and tried to stop laughing so she could have a look at how people were doing during the exercise, but as soon as she spotted Zoryn she had to hide her face again so she could laugh her head off... silently.
Had the girl learned her lesson yet? Yeah, who was in charge now, hm?
Anna would've smirked if she wasn't busy wiping away the tears that were now rolling down her cheek from laughing so hard.
Ahh, okay, okay. That was enough. She wasn't even sure if the ten minutes were up yet, but she was actually starting to feel slightly bad for Zoryn curse being an ENFP. Blowing her whistle, Anna waved her wand, making all hoops drop to the floor in their final colour. She wasn't that interested in who had finished with the most hoops in their assigned colour - though she did take a peek because she was curious - as the information she really wanted was written in the parchment. "Okay, everyone. Well done! We'll now move on to the next part." She let the parchment float next to her again and waved her wand in a wide motion, creating a visible division in the middle of the pitch. She flew down towards it and hovered next to the trunk. "I know you're not trying out for all positions, but I'd like to see all of everyone's abilities. You've done well with speed and dexterity, now I'd like to see you playing different positions." Anna tried to look at each candidate as she spoke. "Please try and have a go at each station, even if you think you'll suck. I promise it'll be fun!" She said with a grin.
The Captain first pointed towards the goal area to her right. "Over there is the scoring area, where you'll test your skills as chasers and keepers. Try and alternate, but if you're sure of what position you want to play out of those two, go ahead and spend more time doing that. But I want to see everyone trying everything!" She was going to repeat that a million times if needed to make sure there would be no excuses!
She turned to the other side of the pitch, the goals on her left hand side. "On that side you'll test your beating skills. Grab a school bat if you haven't got one." She said, hopping off her broom and kicking the trunk next to her, making a good number of bats pop out and fall onto the ground. "I want you to try and send bludgers through the goal hoops. If you're not hitting a bludger towards the goal, I want you to try and stop others from scoring." Double the work for beaters! Both trying to 'score' and protecting the goal hoops. Anna was excited to see what they'd do to accomplish that.
And finally! "Then seeking! The area is... the entire pitch!" She exclaimed, spreading her arms out, beamy smile on her face. "I'll release dozens of snitch-sized balls that will fly all around the pitch and your job is to try and catch as many as you can!" Anna wasn't a seeker herself, but she would've loved to have a go at that. Alas. She would just watch them all have fun while taking notes. The down side of being Captain. "Ready when you are!" The girl said, pointing her wand at the trunk, sending out two zooming bludgers towards the left side and dozens of snitch-sized balls everywhere. Grabbing the quaffle, she threw it upwards before hopping back onto her broom and zooming off to watch from above, floating parchment always following her. OOC: First off: fill out the survey if you haven't already! Quick! Before you forget! Heh.
Second: now it's all up to you! Title your post with the station your charrie is at atm so others can all keep track and join in if they wish!
Chaser station: righthand side of the pitch. Simply try and work as a team and score goals. You can either work with others or RP on your own as if your charrie was interacting with others. Just please don't RP for anyone else's charries! No need to mention names if you are unsure.
Keeper station: Same area as the chasers. There should only be one person acting as the keeper at a time IC, but no need to wait until someone posts they're not playing keeper anymore to RP your charrie doing so. Just pretend it's your charrie's turn when you post.
Beater station: Lefthand side of the pitch. Simply hit bludgers through the goal hoops and try to stop other beaters from scoring. The point of it being around the goals is so that charries don't need to try and hit each other with bludgers, as Anna doesn't want any injuries before the season starts xP so no overly dramatic feats, please!
Seeking: You have the whoooole pitch to fly about, dodging bludgers, quaffles, beaters, chasers and keepers to try and catch as many of the snitch-sized balls as possible! Everyone: Anna would like to see everyone trying everything, but don't feel like your charrie must do it if they don't want to. Post as many times as you like in each station, either playing with others or on your own. Again, make sure not to RP for other people's charries, but feel free to pretend they're interacting with other candidates (you can mention some NPCs if you must/want).
Let me know if you have any questions! The thread will be open until the 18th January, and we'll post again every few days until then! Might do one extra thing before finishing things off depending on the activity level
