"Hi! playing in the sand I see?" she smirked. "mind if i watch?" there was no way that she was going to get sand under her nails. but she didn't mind watching other people play. and she knew for sure that she would be swinging later or the monkeybars. plenty of time to get dirty later. |

"Me?" She had to give a short laugh at the thought of her doing that. "No, I can't. Is there a method, or you just gotta condition your body to perform a pull up?" If there was any secret method, even if it was some silly saying, then Maisie was more than up for trying it, a new experience to take part in. |
SPOILER!!: Norah and Hady Noelle liked this girl. Here she was, talking to inanimate objects just like she did! hehe! It was a match made in heaven! They were going to be friends! She just knew it. But wait....... She couldnt help her up to the Monkey Bars. Noelle looked at Norah's arms. They did look kinda skinny. Annnnd she was not too much taller than her. SIGH! "Youre right... this just wont do. MONKEY BARS YOU WONT WIN!" Boy! Did she tell them monkey bars off! OOOH! A spell! Yes! Noelle had seen her parents do spells but she was about to see someone in the school actually do a spell! This was... magical! (hehe) Or.... nevermind. Noelle pouted again. " You dont want to send me to the moon? I can be the first Queen in space!" She told the older girl. Because... Queen of Cute.. meet Space. She could just picture it! Noelle beamed at the girl and offered her hand. Yea. They would need to know names if she was going to be her new adopted big sister. "I'm Noelle Grace Summers. THE Noelle Grace Summers. My mum calls me Queen of cute. So you are in the presence of a Queen." Her mother may had inflated her ego a little bit. Just a tad. "Norah is such a pretty name!" Noelle was busy admiring her new adopted big sister, that didnt know she was ... yet, when another voice could be heard beside her. Glancing her way she grinned big. YES! She could use BOTH girls to get her up to the monkey bars! "HI! You're taller than me! Are you strong? Or can you help lift me" Noelle made grabby hands at the monkey bars and then looked at the girl that had just arrived. "Yes?? You can help??" She knew she could. She just knew it. THE MONKEY BARS WILL NOT WIN! |

Critical even. "I won't be doing it much longer. I don't want to pull a muscle or anything." That probably did more harm than good. She was already going to be sore just doing a few. She dropped to the ground and looked up at the bars. "I don't think there's a method." she said considering the bars. I think it's more, knowing exactly how to do one, you know? Like learning a new spell is hard if you're doing the wrong movement."[/b] Sort of. Maybe? "Want to try? You can stand on my back or something if you need help getting up there." |
SPOILER!!: *claims* PLAYGROUND? Oliver had not been sure exactly what to expect on the grounds of Hogwarts. The lake he knew, but other than that it was all new to him. A giant tree that tried to kill students had been unexpected, but not wholly surprising. This was Hogwarts after all. A playground though? Was it magical? If it wasn't, it seemed weird that it would be on the grounds of Hogwarts. Not that he would complain. Oliver eyed the swings, but ultimately headed toward the monkey bars first. It was the kind of thing Ellery would like, meaning she probably knew about it already. Somebody else was already on the monkey bard - an older girl he'd never seen before. Why would he have, if she was older than him? The point was, though, that she was very good at the monkey bars. So, when she dismounted, Olly clapped. Talent like that had to be recognized. |

"I'm not scaring it away," he whispered, trying really hard not to be loud enough to scare the pretty butterfly away. "I've been chasing it for the better part of the past twenty minutes and I will catch it if it ENDS me." Insert determined Hufflepuff face here. Very determined, this Puff was. Now SHH GRYFFINDOR. Take the picture if you want, but he was staying right there. And please, please, let this be a new camera and not one of those ancient ones that made really loud shutter noises. Because if the butterfly took off again, there goes another twenty minutes. TIME WAS GOLD. GOOOOLD. That was very important and expensive. And he was going to catch this butterfly, you mark his words. |
SPOILER!!: Noelle Hady looked from Norah to the younger girl then back again trying to figure out what was happening. It didn't take long when Noelle exclaimed about Hady being taller then her and asking her about being...strong? Huh? Tilting her head a little bit trying to make sense of this she followed the girl with her eyes watching as she made grabby hands at the monkey bars. Now it made sense! She couldn't reach. The fourth year grinned a little bit at Noelle. If Hady was taller then her it probably wasn't much since she was still rather short for her age...several inches shorter then her fellow dorm mates. Height wasn't everything though and she was sure it wouldn't matter here. Strength would work just as well and that was one thing she had. "Yeah I can help you. Norah can you just keep us steady if needed," she asked evenly. Just in case. Cause a girl lifting a girl about the same size as herself might not be a good thing. Alright then lets give this a go. "You ready?" Hady bent down on one knee before Noelle and looked up at her for a moment. "I'll lift you up the best I can and you just reach up and grab the bars, okay?" Simply enough really. Hopefully the first year was ready now. Giving her a few seconds to get ready Hady then took hold of her around the legs just above her knees wrapping her arms around her so she wouldn't drop her and slowly get to her feet lifting her upwards. Don't topple over...don't topple over. Could she reach? |

Small details however, very very small details. "yes and I have been chasing it for less and found it in a shorter time so I win." Clearly Ben was also the better ninja here so winning all the way. He brought the camera back up to his eye and snapped away. SNAP SNAP SNAP Luckily for both of them, he got this snazzy new camera from his dad who was a professional photographer. He turned his camera on the boy as well...you know to document the picture of the butterfly competition loser. "I'll get my cousin Blaise to write a story on how I beat you to the butterfly. What's your name anyways?" |

Well, mature adult with pet rock in tow. Just Pebbles for now as Boulder had been napping when he had grabbed the leashes. "Good day, Mr. Barrington," the astronomer saluted as he Yup. Totally mature adult. |
Quote:
But whatever, Shrug. "Hey Professor....uh live long and prosper" He did not know if that was only Astro Tower or anywhere. "You trying to get Pebble to do the 360 Swing too?" |
SPOILER!!: Noelle and Hady! She gave the girl's hand a firm shake, just like her dad had taught her. Just 'cause Noelle was younger than her didn't mean she didn't deserve a real handshake. Whoever thought that was WRONG. "Noelle's an AWESOME name. Sounds good with Norah, too. Noelle and Norah. I like it." And she was a QUEEN too? Man. The firsties just kept getting cooler and cooler. "VERY official. Maybe I can be the Princess Prefect, then." With a huge smile, she demonstrated her fancy princess waving. She'd been practicing and everything ever since her shiny badge had shown up. Marcel and Sebby had voted to ban the waving from the house and everything, but she was BIGGER so she still won, just like when they'd tried to hide her glitter. That had just been mean. At the sound of a familiar voice, Norah got distracted from her waving with a hand suspended in midair. "Hady!" It's like the Slytherin had known they were talking about the spell they'd learned together. Did she remember when Norah had gotten her all the way to the ceiling? DID SHE? Grinning at the fourth year, she nudged Noelle. "Have you met Hady yet? She's probably an even better superhero than I am." "Be careful!" Heheh woah. Had she just said that? Norah Kittredge talking about being careful. That had probably never ever happened. This prefect thing was going to turn her into her mum sooner or later, which was kind of unfair because the goal was to turn into Sophie Brown. Maybe she could be BOTH. Norah stood with both arms up, not entirely sure what she'd do if something went wrong but ready all the same. BRING IT ON. |

... or maybe not because next thing she knew he had tumbled off of the monkey bars and onto the ground without a single scratch. WHAT?! That was awesome. Marietta tapped the ground with her foot a few times. Magic was so cool. RIGHT. This boy was freaking out about a quill. He seemed like he was panicking about it which in turn made Marietta freak out. "I DON'T KNOW. I PROMISE ON THE PRINCESS UNICORN'S LEFT WING THAT I DIDN'T TAKE IT!" Like Blaise, her eyes also widened and started to look on the ground for it. As she patted the ground and dug little holes with her fingers, a thought came to mind. Wait. She had seen someone take it, hadn't she? "Your friend took it didn't he?" |
Henric, Ilia, Ava! Team idea credit goes to Saki zebtle! Adi stopped short at the woman- like voice coming from Henric. Wha- woah! Henny! HAHAHAHA! He doubled up with laughter. "Nuh uh. I was good enough to do it by myself!'' Because that's how Aditya Rehman rolled. "By the way, I am sure you would make a lovely woman. We just need to get you a nice dress, high heels and make up. Oh and a wig.'' Who was Henrc kidding? Adi simply smirked, bounced the ball on his left foot for a few more seconds for showing off purposes then without warning, kicked the ball towards Henric. "You'll be the one doing the crying like a big badger. And you're on, Henny!'' Directly after kicking the ball, the Hufflepuff saw Ilia out of the corner of his eyes. He waved to her, beckoning to join them. Admittedly she was not one of the best players around but he and Henric always tried to help her improve. Plus Henric never minded when the Slytherin was around. Hehe. "Hey, Henny! Ilia is here!'' Come on, be distracted, buddy! Maybe the ball will soar right into the net. Awh, looky! It was little Ava! And she wanted to join them! "SURE! We can play teams!" He glanced at Henric, knowing his friend wouldn't mind. "How about Ava and I and you and Ilia, Henny?'' Adi smirked again. The almost- lovebirds as a team. EXCELLENT! |
Noelle giggled. Okay! She could see why she shouldn't be launched to the moon. Obviously it was because her new best buddy was here and she HAD to be here with her. "Fine fine! But we will visit the moon one day!" Challenge accepted. New goal made! OH THIS GIRL WAS GOING TO HELP HER! She now had /two/ super heroes!! How lucky can one firstie get?? Beaming, Noelle nodded eagerly. "Yes yes!! You can do it!! We can do it! The monkey bars will not win!" she exclaimed and hugged the new girl tight. "[B]Im Noelle Grace Summers.[\B]" She added. She couldn't remember if she had told her that yet. ADHD and all. But either way, she wanted everyone to remember her and what better way to remember a person by repetition of her name. Then there were arms around her knees. Ahh! They were doing this! Noelle cast a wide eyed glance at Norah as she slowly rose from the ground. She gripped Hady's shoulders at first but when she noticed the bars inching closer, she reached high and grabbed hold of it. SHE HAD REACHED THE MONKEY BARS!!! WE DID IT NORAH AND HADY! WE DID IT!!!" Noelle yelled loudly and hung there. She was waiting to be let go so she could show these girls how she pwned these monkey bars! |

"Yeah, that makes sense." Maisie said nodding. There weren't many 'steps' to do a pull up. "And lots of intensive, extensive training." Which obviously Maisie had none of at the moment and she would probably end up making a fool of herself. "Oh, no, I don't want to impose." She said off-handedly. Maisie didn't even know the girl's name and she was already giving the ok for her to stand on her back as if they've known each other for months now. "The back of your clothes would get all dirty." Wrinkled, more like. Maisie was almost certain the underneath of her shoes weren't that dirty. "It's Maisie, actually. Some introduction is in need if I'm going to step on someone's back, right?" She said with a short laugh. If, she said if. Though, she wasn't completely opposed to it. An even if she couldn't do one, there were other things to do around here together. If the girl wished. |

Oh. A younger girl was joining her. Paulina sent her a slightly small smile. She was starting to feel more at home here because a lot of people at Hogwarts were very nice. The shyness was more manageable, though sometimes she felt like she would make a huge fool of herself in class or something. "Sure. You can help me if you want to." It was fun reconnecting with her childhood, and it was also fun to do things with other people even if she was a little timid at first. |
SPOILER!!: Noelle <3 She gave Noelle a thumbs up as she rose higher into the air. "The monkey bars have nothing on you!" When the first year had grabbed hold of the bars, Norah gave a loud whoop and held a hand up to give Hady a high five. "AW YEAH!" That was AWESOME. Her turn to get up now, yeah? She wiped her hands on her robes and positioned herself below a bar right in the middle. She could almost touch it if she went all the way to her tippy toes. Almost. With a squinty look of concentration, she bent her knees and pushed off the soft ground, grabbing on with one hand and then the other. Hehehehehh. It didn't even matter that her feet were barely off the ground. The monkey bars had LOST and they had WON and it was FUN, so there. |
Not quoting so Norah and Noelle! Oh the excitement here was high! And it was awesome! "I doubt I'm a superhero but if I am I'd need an epic name, yeah?" Cause every superhero had a name. Only she had no idea what hers would be. Anyhow there was lifting to be done! This little firstie needed to conquer these monkey bars whether they liked it or not and Hady would make sure of it! "Up ya go," She told the girl glancing up at her as she rose to her feet and tried not to laugh at Norah sounding all grown up like. That was really funny. One moment there was hands on her shoulders, then there wasn't and the snakethe could clearly here the words of Noelle. They had done it! Woot! "Now make those monkey bars pay for being up so high!" She exclaimed smirking a bit at Noelle and Norah. Taking a few steps back she watched them to see how they'd do. They'd make it across, yeah? |
Quote:
Cinna flipped off the of end of the monkey bars again and hit the ground. Tada. Seriously playgrounds made her fee like a little kid again. She loved taking her niece and little siblings to the park over the summer. They enjoyed in too. Anyway, she had gotten a audience now. She bowed to the younger boy. "Thank you. Thank you." She blew kisses and everything too. Okay Bayless chill out. You're probably scaring the little kids. She smiled at the boy "Hey, can you do that?" She also noticed that the boy was heading toward the monkey bars |
Quote:
This girl was overly polite. Who said 'impose' in actual conversation? This girl. Maisie. "Nah. Don't worry about the clothes. It's laundry day." It was getting washed anyway. She really didn't care. "'m Kaycee." she said holding out a hand and introducing herself. "Fourth year Gryffindor." Because that was important to some people. She bent over in half under the monkey bars. "Go ahead up. I'll spot ya." |
<3 Colt / Steph SPOILER!!: Colt She was exhausted. Having run around for over an hour to try and get rid of excess energy due to excitement of being back, Marsha was now almost ready to collapse for a little relaxation before she got started on… writing her first quill article in the library. Hehe. She couldn’t wait for that, but first she needed sunshine. Pushing a few stray strands of hair out of her face, the almost thirteen year old made her way towards the new playground. She wasn’t entirely sure what she was in the mood for - but if nothing else the grass and sand areas would be fun for relaxing in for a little bit. Jogging the last hundred metres up to it, Marsha stopped and stretched her muscles to cool down. There was no way she was going to injure herself the month back… Especially with her birthday being next week . As she finished stretching out her leg mucles, she slowly stood up and looked around. Partly, to figure out if she knew anyone else there and partly to figure out which piece of equipment were free. |

<3 Colt / Steph SPOILER!!: Colt Grinning, Marsha looked over at the boy who had spoken to her. ”Thanks!” Smiling widely, she scooted around the back of his swing as he pulled forward so that she wasn’t in his way. Sitting on the second swing, she pushed off the ground with both feet and started to pick up the momentum needed to… well, swing. After a minute or so, when she was settled in an easy rhythm, she looked over at the boy. ”I’m Marsha.” More smiles followed her name before she added. ”Oh, I’m a Gryffindor… I don’t really care what house people are in - but seem people still care about it.” Nodnod. And your name issssss….? Went left unsaid as she smiled at him. |

But he could appreciate a good 'live long and prosper' anytime, anywhere. Pushing the swing a few more times with a bit more gusto, Airey snapped his head around at the Slytherin's inquiry. "No...but I may be now," he said, momentarily forgetting all about Newton's Laws and suffering the consequences. Right below the asteroid belt. With a load OOOOF and lots of manly whimpering, he somehow managed a tight lip smile at Mr. Barrington while his eyes squinted into tiny slits. "Tell me more?" |
SPOILER!!: Mari *pinches* Pouring paint on the ground and finding older students to help them were both BRILLIANT ideas, ideas he should have been able to jot down but now the boy was uable to (and feeling quite vulnerable as a result) which had his eyes widening even more. This. Was. A. DISASTER. If possible, his wides might have gotten EVEN bigger when the girl started swearing on some unicorn's left wing. "WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!" Unicorns didn't HAVE wings! WHY WOULD SHE SWEAR ON SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T EXIST???--Unless she stole it. Oh man, she did didn't she? It was all a trick. Talk about the lava while she swiped it and....and...what? She was still standing here. He'd surely have noticed if she had it in her possessio-- His who did what now?? Blaise scrunched up his face, not sure he was following her all that well. "My...what....?" He hadn't SEEN any of his friends when he arrived and Merlin knew he had few enough. "What friend? Huh?" Consider him confused and ready to panic all over again. |
