UPDATE! And leaping towards you, Slytherin >:D Approaching the Slytherin platform with a great leap upwards - not to worry, he would be showing each platform the same attention soon enough - the professor gave a quick glance over his shoulder at the platform in the center. LOOK AT THAT! ALL THE BALLS WERE NOW IN PLAY AND THE CENTRAL PLATFORM COMPLETELY EMPTY! With the only option now to steal from each other, things were about to get interesting. While it was a close battle presently between Gryffindor and Slytherin for first, it really was anyone's to win. OOC: The central platform is now empty! You can now only steal from other platforms. Good luck and work as a team to help lead your house to victory! |
3. Stealing from Hufflepuff GAA! Kitty had just been about to jump back to the main platform to take another ball, but there were none left. Now she had no choice but to try to steal a ball from another house. "Oh no!" Kitty moaned nervously, putting her painted black finger nails in her mouth. But she had no choice. After taking a deep breath, Kitty made a jump for the Hufflepuff platform. She approached it nervously and went for one of the balls, knowing that she had little chance at succeeding but hoping that whoever stopped her was not rough. |
chu up to, Flamsteed? >-> No more white balls? Jaemin squinted at the other platforms before hopping himself up to the Slytherin one and gripping the edge of it. With less gravity, it was super easy to just hang there like a monkey. The small boy just swayed slowly back and forth, enjoying himself and watching the professor as he flew closer. What was he dooooooing? Jaemin stuck both of his feet out in the professor's direction, just in case he was gonna get grabby with the Slytherins' stuff. |
Steal attempt: Slytherin She was trying to be as quiet and slippery as a little mouse. SLYTHERIN WAS GOING DOWN, Mel thought as she eyed the now nearly FILLED platform. Yes. She was going to do this. Slipping forward she bounced once and felt how little lift she received. Pretending she was just cold the little first year bounced again getting a little more lift and once more until she was platform level! She was going to do this. Yes. She could do this! FOR GRYFFINDOR! She thought as she moved to steal the ball from Slytherin. |

Steal blocked Quote:
“Sorry” she chirped out more about the accidentally hair petting – yes she only really pet friends hair without their approval…but that was just HOW she was. Soon my precious she thought at the balls before giving the Slytherin first year a small nod. Well played Slytherin. “Well played”…she was glancing around trying to find the next place to attack…maybe she could steal from Hufflepuff? They seemed less guarded? “Sorry about the face-thing.” She added as she landed on the ground. |
This entire thing was utter chaos. Daxton knew it would be before the activity even started; any activity in Airey Flamsteed's lessons involving low gravity (any activity in Airey Flamsteed's lessons at all, as a matter of fact) was simply too much. Anyone could collide with anyone, projectiles could pelt through the air, the level of excitable screeching would rise. Throw in the teamwork requirement and it all just became pointless chaos. Daxton's feelings on the matter were likely clear from his unhappy expression. He moved way off to the side with the desks and lingered there for a long while even as everyone else started flailing madly about the room. But it was not just busy, it was loud, and though Daxton had his earmuffs with him (and had put them on at the first sign that this would be a noisy activity) they were simply not enough, and they did not block all the noise or the overstimulating sensory information that was... everything else. That was the thing about chaos. Well, he was not staying. And he was not asking to leave, either, because the answer would likely be 'no' and then he might be watched more closely, and then he would never be able to escape. Instead, Daxton sidled round the edge of the room and towards the door, figuring that this method at least gave him a chance. The energy of the room was convenient in this context, as it drew one's attention, and seeing as Airey Flamsteed was officiating, he might not notice anything that was happening on the sidelines. And this time, Daxton did not want to be caught out; the only suspicious thing about the Ravenclaw at all was probably the fact that he dragged his school bag along with him, and even that did not necessarily mean anything. In no time at all, he was close to the door. So close to peace, so close to quiet, but this was the part that would draw the most attention. Taking a risk and not stopping to check the room, lest it cost him valuable time, Daxton dashed the last few feet to the door and tugged it open, ready to slip through the gap and beat a hasty retreat. |
post 3 - stealing from gryffindor ;P After depositing the now blue ball in the Ravenclaw pile, Tia deliberated a moment on her next move deciding she should be bold and take from one of the other houses. Lions and badger piles were closest to the ravenclaw corner, but it seemed if she wanted Ravenclaw to have a chance at winning, stealing some of those red balls might be her best chances. Besides, surely they wouldn't try to intercept the head girl, would they? She was nice to them Sliding against the wall to remain as inconspicuous as possible, Tia debated a summoning charm before deciding Flamsteed PROBABLY had spells in place to prevent them from using such a charm. She could do this. Closing her eyes, she reached out and snatched one of the red balls while the Gryffindor students were preoccupied, and quickly looked around for someone from her house to pass to ... |
defending for Gryffindor Quote:
THAT BALL WAS NOT GOING TO LEAVE ITS PLATFORM…not really. Mel thought as she launched herself UP and tried to get into the way of any possible pass Tia was going to make. |
Erm, just getting Tia's attention xD Quote:
This was her chance to work with her Student Leader Idol, fellow Ravenclaw- Tia. She focused her attention on the older girl completely for now. She would draw her attention back to Haddie after this catch. There was no doubt in her mind that Haddie would require her help soon. "Tia! Toss it to me!'' the eleven year old called. |
Post 1 - stealing from Gryffindor The game was moving too fast for Dot's tastes, considering she really just wanted to try out a few leaps and spins in the corner. Honestly, by the time she got her feet under her, the platform was empty, which left her to do some ugly hand to hand combat with her classmates. Ugggggh. Why did they always play games in this class? Didn't Flamsteed want to teach them? Noooo, he wanted to turn them into werewolves and yell at them and make them feel bad about... Oh, right. Game. She tried some nice springy leaps toward the Gryffindor pile of balls, since it was biggest and they looked distracted and it was farthest from her spot, for optimal springing. Her leaps actually took her well past the balls, into the wall, and Dot found that she was actually in the perfect position to steal a ball. Like super perfect. No one in sight. |
post 4 - quick toss, maybe? o.O Quote:
Quote:
Hearing Rachel call out to her, Tia only had a split second to consider the possibilities and just went for the latter of the two options, hoping for the best she made an underhand throw to pass the ball underneath Mel's feet, just hoping it was enough time. |
Post 7- Catching Tia's toss Quote:
She kept her eyes on the incoming ball. She already had her arms outstretched. She was going to make the catch, she just knew it! All she needed to do was to keep focused. Keep focusing, that was it. She could do this! Rachel did! She caught the ball with both hands, jumped onto the Ravenclaw platform and placed the ball on the pile. Throwing under worked just fine. |
4. Looking for someone to pass the Hufflepuff ball Now that Kitty had the ball, she just had to find someone to toss it too. She was still standing on the platform, getting more and more nervous that one of the Hufflepuffs would see her on their platform with a ball and would try to pull it from her hand. |
post 2 - Slytherin pass attempt It seemed impossible to believe, but Dot's bounding and terrible stealing skills really DID seem to go unnoticed by her classmates of the Lion House. Maybe that meant she gave off an obvious air of not being a threat at all, but that was all the better. Don't underestimate the Slytherin ginger... even if she was doomed for destruction and disease and was currently wearing ugly, practical shoes. Dot tucked the ball under her arm and took a step away from the pile of balls, eyes watching for a classmate of the Snake variety to catch her ball. Hello? Any... oh, surely someone would catch it. "SLYTHERIN PASS UP FOR GRABS!" She threw it... and hoped for the best. |
catching! idek what post I'm at. Quote:

6-Stealing from those puffs! Elliot heard a call for Slytherin pass and looked up just in time to see the ball flying through the air. He took this opportunity to dart back over to the Hufflepuff platform and grab another yellow ball. He chewed his lip clutching the ball looking for another snake to take the pass |
post 5 - stealing from hufflepuff now mwaha That was nerve-wrecking; Tia felt her heart pounding and it took a moment to catch her breath after it seemed the underhand toss worked. Gazing around at each of the house corners, the seventh year considered them a moment before she quietly jumped in the air and worked her way across the room towards the pile of yellow balls. If they could just steal ALL their balls into the Ravenclaw corner, perhaps it would be enough to bump them from the lowest number of balls. Sadly she could only steal one at a time, as she recalled from earlier when Haddie attempted to steal two. That was okay, she could steal one at a time. And Rachel could catch and defend their pile. Giving a small wink towards the first year, she made a quick grab at one of the yellow balls and turned back towards the Ravenclaw base and where the first year was waiting. |
Post 8- Waiting on Tia to throw! Quote:
It seemed she was better at catching for her dear House. Yes, indeed. Rachel still think she would feel bad if she actually stole a ball from one of the other three Houses. Come on, Tia. Throw the ball before a Hufflepuff tried to prevent you from doing so. |
post 6 - throwing the ball! Quote:
Rachel was ready! And Tia took advantage of the first year's readiness by quickly throwing the yellow ball before one of those badgers had the moment to intercept. |
Post 1 - Ready for a Badger Ball Quote:
But...oh look, a fellow Ravenclaw was up on the Hufflepuff platform looking to through it somewhere. "Over here..." she said, trying to get her housemate's attention so she could catch it and move on. |
Post 9- Catching Tia's throw! Quote:
The Ravenclaw didn't think so but she resumed focusing on the ball Tia had tossed her. Being right on the platform still, Rachel wouldn't have to go far to drop it into the pile. Smiling, she caught the ball, again with both hands. She felt so much accomplished as she added it to the pile and watched it turn blue. |
passing the Hufflepuff ball to Jay! Elliot spotted the boy from before (Ameh) by the Slytherin platform and took a breath before shouting to him. "Heads up!" He threw the ball hoping for the best |
catching! Quote:
He'd just hang there again. It was fun. |
Post 3 - Attempted steal from Gryffindor And they scored! Did anyone see that? Dottie actually helped someone score! In a team sport! That didn't involve leg warmers!! No? No one noticed? She could continue to be useful, even if she didn't think she was much good at catching. Maybe lack of gravity made her a surprise stellar athlete? That didn't seem likely. Again, Dot grabbed for a ball from the Gryffindor stack, since it seemed like she was just generally being ignored at the moment. |
