It's time for quidditch practice again and to build on team spirit, discuss what went right and wrong in the last quidditch game and most importantly, figure out how to win the next game and ultimately the Quidditch Cup.
Only thing you notice is that there are TWO captains present this time. Well that was strange as you hadn't thought there was a group quidditch practice and yet the Slytherin and Gryffindor Captains, Patrick Dooley (siriusblackliveson) and Anna Meriwether (Hey Ju) both seem to be out here together? Hurry over to see if you can figure out the meaning of this and who is REALLY supposed to have practice today!
ooc: Welcome to a Duo Team Practice! This is for IC reference and fun but as part of the team, you should be participating, whether you are in a starting position or reserve. Please note that this is not the first IC practice of the term.
This thread will remain open until the 28th of February approx 7 pm EST
Sarah and Ju will hold this IC practice and if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to her or me via PM.
Have fun!
- Jess
Group Practice
Captain's first post [ [Tug O' War!] ]
Also a bit annoying. But amusing. Slightly irritating as Slytherin had beat them in their last match but at least the snakes weren't in first place this time, which was a bit reassuring, BUT also kind of useful for that exact same reason.
Hmmmmm... Anna was curious to see how this would go.
The Gryffindor Captain stood next to the Slytherin as she held her broom up next to her right side; her usual way of standing with her beloved as she always enjoyed the fact the broom was taller than her. Best broom ever!
Sending Patrick a tiny smirk and last side-glance, Anna looked into the yonder towards the changing rooms to see who would be the first few people to arrive.
COME ON, GRYFFINDORS, TIME TO KICK SOME SLYTHERIN BUMS! Althoughthiswasjustapractise.
But you know. Still.
Please?

Zoryn Spinnet was on time (for once) she had EVEN made sure that Faith was awake, dragged her to the locker room and everything. Ur welcome. Listen, she may have missed out on a whole month of Quidditch, but seeing as she was going pro. Everything counted. So of course she would be on time. And she wasn't in low spirits because of that first match either. Obviously Gryffindor lost because their most talented beater was benched. Now the whole school could see how much they needed her.
But anyway, I digress. She was even looking forward to practice today, nothing put her in a better mood than--
"Uh, what are YOU doing here?" Zoryn looked the Slytherin Captain up and down. "Pitch is booked for Gryffindor practice... Right Anna?" Unless Meriwether messed this one up too. Couldn't the girl do ANYTHING right?
Why did the school administrators make her captain again??????

Reason: i canspell
Don't know if it's okay to post yet, don't see any other slytherins sooooo

Skyler headed down to the pitch after she got her uniform on. She sort of frowned seeing that she was the only Slytherin there so far. Eh. Guess more of them will show up eventually. She waved to Anna and Zoryn.

Patrick’s eyes narrowed at Anna. He liked her got along with her but today she was going down. He had booked the pitch weeks ago and was not going to be subject to sharing the field. Not today. He had too much whipping into shape to get done for Anna to show up in his time slot. “I booked the Pitch for this time slot Anna. What are you doing here?” he tried not to sound too harsh but he was not thrilled since he needed to do some serious work
Just as he was about to apologize for his attitude... no for her being mistaken in the time he heard one Zoryn Spinner pipe up. “Wrong Slytherin has it booked.” he was not in the mood to deal with this today at all.
Spotting Skylar he waved her over. ”Come on Skylar. We’ve got the pitch booked.”
Skyler blinked and looked over at Patrick. Uuuuuuh she didn't know?? She stepped over next to him though and didn't say anything. Yeah, probably not a good idea.
Coming over to stand next to Zoryn, Józef scowled and looked the Slytherin Captain up and - well, just up, because he was shorter than him. His annoyance was no less apparent, though. This was their practice time, the noticeboard had said so and he knew because he had CHECKED about A MILLION times because he was not giving anyone another reason to bench him again.
Gryffindor didn't need that.
"Three against two say it's Gryffindor's practice."

With his broom over his shoulder and his bat in hand, Cameron silently stepped up behind Patrick to join the Slytherins. What was going on? People were looking irritated to say the least and why were the Gryffindors here anyway? Were they supposed to train together? That seemed a bit...weird, didn't it? Counterproductive too. They were opposing teams after all.
He gave Zoryn a quick nod in greeting and even a small smile. Hello. Cameron then turned to his captain and took another step closer. "What's going on?" He didn't bother lowering his voice because surely he wasn't the only one wondering about this.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Rylee was here and hopefully on time. There had been a quick pit stop into the barns first as usual and than to the oasis to check on her plants before heading to the locker room to change for practice. During the past year or so her time management skills had gotten exceptionally better and anything that wasn't going to be helpful towards her future goals had been knocked off of her list of extra activities. Quidditch clearly remained on that list, it was a love of hers she wasn't ready to give up just yet.
Gripping her broom in her left hand, the lioness made her way out onto the pitch. As she reached Anna, Zoryn and Jozef it was clear something wasn't right. There was Slytherin's on the pitch. Had someone messed up the time for a practice or did they somehow double book the pitch? Blue-gray eyes shifted before Anna and Slytherin's Captain. What was going on?

Patrick looked so confused and was not thrilled with this going on. He looked at Cameron, "Anna here is saying that she has the pitch. We have the pitch."
His mind began racing. Running his hand through his thicker than usual hair he began to think through things that could happen today. He could make the best of this situation and deal with having a conversation with Anna after practice. He could continue to eat up their practice time and argue more with Anna over nothing so they got nothing done.
But it wasn't worth it.
Glancing back at the team members of his squad and Anna's he raised his voice loud enough to be heard, "Can Anna and I have a moment?" He really hoped he could just see how she wanted to proceed with the practice since it was no longer going to be spent drilling his team on scoring more points so they could win the cup.
As people from both teams started to arrive, Anna's expression kept going from amused to impatient then back to amused and then impatient again. This was going to be a looonngggg practice, she could tell.
The girl had to use a lot of strength not to rollll her eyes at Patrick's comment about him booking the time slot. She could continue the discussion with an obvious 'no, I did', but ain't nobody got time for that. Well, Anna had the time for it, she just didn't have the patience, really.
"Yeah, yeah." She waved a dismissive hand towards everyone as they kept going back and forth saying it 'was a Gryffindor, no, Slytherin! No, Gryffindor practice!' Eeye rooolll.
"It is Gryffindor practice..." Just sayin'. She started, casually walking towards the other side of the group, taking her broom with her. "...but."Dramatic pause."I challenge you..." She stretched her whole arm to point also dramatically, like a Pokemon trainer of sorts at the Slytherin Captain. "...and your team to... a few different tasks." Going with the flow, she was good at that. Though she didn't know what challenges those could be. Yet.
Something along those lines, Skyler, but not quite. Not QUITE because a match would be too much and there was no referee so things could get nasty Anna knew her team, ok and she actually enjoyed being friends with Patrick, y'know. Lol.
FINE, Patrick wanted a moment. The fifth year approached the Slytherin Captain with a smirk. "Tug o' war?" She asked in a slightly lower yet challenging tone before he could say anything. "As a warm up?" She added back in her normal casual tone with a nonchalant shrug. Anna almost snorted because that would be...
Kind of cool, actually.
And Gryffindor could TOTALLY BEAT SLYTHERIN at that, just sayinnnnn'. They'd better.

Skyler looked at Anna.
"Really? Tug o' war?" Skyler snorted. "Should I conjur up mud or something for the loser to fall into?"

He glanced at Skylar and shook his head, "No not a match. That could get ugly." and fast. He knew with the near win at the last match he didn't want to have a mock re-match here. He hoped Skylar would understand that.
Patrick grinned at Anna. It was on like Donkey Kong. He was going to make sure that the Gryffindor team went down. He was going to enjoy this. Every last second of it.
Grinning wide, "Its on. Challenge totally accepted." He was so ready for this he felt 100% sure of himself and his abilities and his team's abilities to beat Gryffindor at a simple game of Tug o' War. "What do you say Slytherin?"

Skyler snorted at Patrick's reaction. She was done with last year so why not try and test people ay? She did nod though, smiling a bit.
"I'm up for it," she said.

Zoryn agreed with Jo. She gave him an approving nod. Kid stole Faith’s spot last term, but he was starting to grow on her. Zor crossed her arms and gave Patrick the EYES. He was scared of her, she was sure of it.
Taking a moment’s break from being all mean and intimidating, Zoryn made sure to nod and send a small smile back at Cameron. He was a good one, a very supportive friend. Mhm. It was unfortunate that his team was about to get booted off the field. If Zoryn had a heart, she would’ve even felt a little sorry about it. But rules were rules and this was Gryffindor time.
RIGHT, ANNA they were—
-____-
This girl really had no spine.
Buuuuuuuut also…. Zoryn hated to admit it, but Anna actually had a good idea for once in her life minus all of the unnecessary dramatics. Zoryn would’ve much rather play a match because she didn’t get any airtime in their first one… And Patricks face had ‘bludger’ written all over it. Soz. All was fair in war and quidditch.
Ahem.
”I don’t hate it,” in regards to the tug of war idea.

Anna's smirk grew more amused when she heard Skyler's comment about conjuring up some mud. "I like how you think." She told the Slytherin girl, though never taking her eyes off Patrick's for added emphasis on the challenge.
No need to say she had her free hand on her hip for a half superhero pose. Yeah, she was trying to mock-intimidate Patrick again, but once more she knew it wouldn't work simply because the guy was so much taller than her.
Alas!
It was still fun anyway.
And Zoryn 'didn't hate it'. Wow! Progress. Good, because the girl had strong arms thanks to being a beater, so that would definitely come in handy during this tug of war thing.
It was on! Anna sent Patrick a satisfied, smug look before moving away. "Go right ahead." She finally added looking at Skyler and getting her own wand from its holster. Conjuring up a rope, she sent it to land stretched out a few metres away from them all. Hopefully Skyler would take the hint and get some mud going before they took their places! "Leave your brooms out here for now, we won't be needing them." She told everyone, placing her own broom down to the side before rushing towards the rope. "Gryffindors on this side! Slytherins, over there." Anna said as she stood next to the rope on Gryffindor's side. "You all know how this works, right? Normal Muggle tug of war. Everyone grab onto the rope on your respective side then when I give the sign, you PULL! The team that manages to get most of the other team in the mud wins!" She explained just in case there was some ignorant Pureblood kid there that had never heard of Muggle games.
Had Skyler gotten on with that mud making yet? She was counting on it now to make everything more interesting! Heeheehee!
"Alright, hurry up now!" Chop chop! She was waitinggggggg and giving some encouraging words to her players as they joined her on Gryffindor's side. They could DO this! Slytherin was going DOWN!
*****
"Ready!?? Set."Another dramatic pause...... Quite a long one, actually, to test their attention and readiness as well. Heeehee!
......
.......
...
"NOW!!!" And using ALL of her might, she went pulling that rope.
OOC: Hallooooo!!! Thanks all for coming, this should be a fun practice! If you haven't joined us yet, just jump in as if your charrie has been here all along oorrr... just have them arrive late and join their team anyway, that will work too, hah!
SO, here's how this first task is gonna go. Please number your posts so we can make sure not to miss any of them! There's a simple rubric thingy Sarah and I came up with [actually, I adapted it from Thea's lesson thread because I'm lazy, but you don't need to tell everyone (I stole it with permission, okay, I'm not THAT lazy xP)]. Each individual post will get points, so the more you post, the more points you may get for your team! But please do not double post! Here's the rubric for post points:
1 point = member produces a post with minimal detail (provides character action, missing many essential details such as character thoughts, impressions, opinions, feelings)
2 points = member produces a post with acceptable detail (provides character actions, missing some essential details ex. saying a character is annoyed but not mentioning why, having a character give up without reason, refuse to do the activity without reason etc.)
3 points = member produces a post with exceptional detail (provides character actions/thoughts, eg. a post in which a character's thoughts/feelings are explored or made mention of (negative, positive or neutral), actions are provided in some amount of detail such as how they do whatever they're doing (carefully? sloppily?) etc.)
Sarah and I will decide on points together so it's fairrrr for everybodeh because we're good people, lol. Anna and Patrick will join the task, but our posts will not count towards the points. Sooo get working if ya want your house to win! x)
You have until the 23rd to make as many crazy tug of war posts as you want, Sarah and I will be posting throughout as well. On the 23rd one of us will make a post mentioning the winner (aka, get ready to get muddy, losing team!) and we'll move on to the next task!
Note: NO ONE SHOULD DIE! Or even get seriously injured. This is a simple Tug of War game, it's no big deal as these kiddos should be used to much rougher action during Quidditch matches =P Note 2: You don't need to post your charrie being awesome at it 100% of the time, as creativity also counts towards points! But of course, common sense prevails so if your charrie refuses to join in or for some reason can't do the activity properly they might not get full points, which is ultimately fineeee and no one will OOC hate you for being true to your charrie (if they do, don't worry, I'll poke them in the eye)!
Off we go! HAVE FUN!

Skyler grinned and set her broom aside. She came back and waved her wand, turning a large area of grass into a mud puddle. I don't care if I fall into the mud, that'll be fun!! She kept the grin on her face as she stuffed her wand back in her robe pocket and grabbed onto the rope. She tugged at the rope, making sure to keep her feet planted the best she could. She would probably fail epically though.
doesn't proofread tweets | #wrongaboutcereal | #siriusly? | emo to the extremo
.... Mud?
Well she wasn't the one who'd fall in so that was all fine and dandy or whatever. The Gryffindor took one more look at the Slytherin team before turning on her heels and walking off the pitch to set down her bat 'n broom. No way either of those things were getting ANYWHERE near the mud. Her equipment was to be protected at all costs.
She wasn't superstitious. But she was a little stitious.
ANYWAY. THIS. WAS. WAR.
The Gryffindor quickly made her way BACK to the group, taking her place at the very end of the Gryffindor side and holding the end peace of rope.
1. Because she clearly had the best upper body strength out of anyone on this team. (You could ask Anna's nose if you didn't believe it).
2. Because being at the end meant she'd be less likely to end up in a pile of mud.
3. Because she wanted to take some charge and this was her way of doing it. Captain Anna, who?
Zoryn MAY have started pulling slightly before they were given the go ahead, but it didn't really matter all that much, okay? She was pulling, with all her might. Her grip firm, hands slightly burning, FACE FILLED WITH FURY.
HA.
SLYTHERIN? More like SLYTHER INTO THE MUD PIT, SNAKE SCUM (and Cameroni).

Patrick with a grin ran to the end of the Slytherin rope. Smiling at the mud pit in between the two teams. He was fairly certain they would win. No he knew the slytherin squad would win and destroy the others.
Wrapping his hands around the rope he set his feet into the grass and braced himself for the tug of the rope. He was ready to keep the Slythering team dry and hoped that he could do it. Bring it on Zoryn.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Tug-of-war and mud.
Both things rang out loud and clear and didn't need to be repeated. This was going to be simple. Gryffindor was going to win. Before the game could began she had to set her broom and beaters bat aside and out of harms way. There was noway she would allow any harm to come to either item.
Walking away from everyone and everything she set her broom and bat down away from harms way. Returning to join her team she stood somewhere between Anna and Zoryn, grabbing hold of the rope wrapping it around her hands as best she could.
The moment Anna had shouted NOW, Rylee started to pull with all her might. She could feel the sting of the rope on her hands and her feet slipping along the grass with every small step she tried to take backwards as she pulled. There would be no stopping until Slytherin was in the mud.

Skyler helped pull on the rope, bracing her feet on the ground making sure to not fall. She was the first one to grab the rope so she didn't want to be the one to blame for all of Slytherin falling in the mud, which they would noy. .

Honestly? Tessa didn't actually mind the idea of practising with the Slytherins. It was just a one-off, after all, right? It would definitely make them practise harder. Not that they wouldn't be practising hard anyway.....
Although she was a Chaser, and despite her short stature, Tessa actually had a reasonable amount of upper body strength. Small but MIGHTY. That's what she was. Tug-of-War was TOTALLY up her alley. She grinned and positioned herself around the mid-point of the Gryffindor side of the rope, just in front of Rylee, and got a solid grip on it. She stood slightly side on with one leg in front of the other, reading to shift her weight onto her back leg when Anna set them off.
..............
OOF.
Tessa shifted her weight, digging her heels into the ground, and pulled with all her might. Ignoring the sting of rope rubbing against her fingers and palms, she used all her weight to brace against the Slytherins' pull. When she felt steady, she moved her front foot behind her back foot and did her best to keep all her weight on the rope. It was all about being stable and keeping an unwavering hold on the rope. They could do it! Inch by inch.
Gunnar wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of tug of war. He came here for Quidditch practice! He wanted to fly on his broom and hit some bludgers. But he supposed it wasn't the worst idea. It would provide some decent physical activity and he could show off some of that upper body strength he developed as a beater.
Once Skyler conjured some mud, he took his place in front of Patrick and grabbed a hold of the Slytherin end of the rope. He dug his heels into the ground and pulled hard as the Gryffindor captain gave the word. He should have had his gloves on for this. He was determined that Slytherin would win and rope burn was going to be a thing.
