Zeke & others heheh Jaemin could cling like the best of 'em. He was the Devil's Snare of small children, a champion of holding onto things and people that didn't want to be held onto. It probably came with being very small and having to keep a grip on his mom and dad in crowds. He couldn't intercept the ball if it were thrown, as he was far too close, but he could try to keep it from being thrown! Even if the guy got all hissy at him. He shook his head and wrinkled his nose at him. Nu'uh dude. He'd have to throw the small boy as well if he wanted to throw the ball. ...why was this girl getting mad at him?! Who was attacking anyone??? Not Jaemin! "I'm allowed to try and stop him," the little boy said petulantly, squeezing a bit tighter. "I'm not hitting him or anything!" Just squeezing his arm and hand and hoping he would let go of the ball! Deeeeefense! |
4: Steal attempt from Hufflepuff again Quote:
What!? Katherine was too ANGRY to even react. "You're not even a Hufflepuff!" she exclaimed as she GLARED. This was stealing! UGH. But - of course. It was her fault. She should have been more cautious. This was a competition - an ugly one. She looked over at the Slytherin side and ALMOST went over to steal HER ball that belonged to RAVENCLAW, but they were currently ripping apart a boy, and she didn't want to deal with that at all. Therefore, she huffed at the stupid boy and turned to steal from the Hufflepuff once again. Bounce, bounce, bounce. She was too angry to enjoy jumping this time, and she quickly went over and juuuuuuuuuuuuumped to steal ONCE AGAIN. |
6 - Stealing from gryffindor Olly kept his eyes on the girl for a moment. She better not be thinking about coming over and trying to steal back that ball from the Slytherin platform. In the end, it looked as if she had decided against it. Which was the right decision, because Olly was definitely not going down without a fight. He cast another suspicious glance around the room, making sure nobody was getting any ideas about trying to steal from Slytherin. That firstie seemed to be doing a good job of defending the platform. So Olly jumped away. He simply jumped into the air, letting himself float whichever way nature chose. Of course he must have been leaning one way or another, but it was not on purpose. Either way, he ended up landing in the direction of the Gryffindor platform. Looks like that was settled then. Olly leaped again, this time closing the rest of the distance toward his competition. His hand closed around one of the red balls before he turning, silently searching for an open Slytherin. |
PASSING GREEN BALL! and mentions of that hullabaloo with all you snakes and Zeke XD SPOILER!!: Daxton Another small victory, although the man's face showed no indication of gloating. Even if he was terribly pleased with himself at the moment. "Very well then," he nodded, his wand out to summon some more parchment from his desk across the way. "In place of participation, you may sit and write out a chart comparing and contrasting Mars and Earth. Use of textbook permitted." Although Mr. Prince probably did not need to use such tools to accomplish the task. This plan was two fold, really. On the one had it would, hopefully, keep the Ravenclaw occupied for the remainder of things - which would not be too much longer now - while also creating something that the professor could utilize in the near future. So he could allocate his time to more pressing matters. Quote:
But as long as no one was crying, he wouldn't draw further attention to matters. Although Miss Lynch's words sounded like an invitation to him. Ahem. "WAND AWAY, MISS MOSS!" he shouted at the Ravenclaw. Which seemed to be a moot point considering that her spell hadn't worked in the long run. Oh well, word of caution to all then! Quote:
"Alright, it's yours," he mused, haphazardly tossing the ball towards the first year as though he were a rookie pitcher taking the mound in their first game of the season. OOC: approximately 10-12 hours before the activity closes ^_^ |
Post 9: Moving on from that mess and Open for catching! With a clear confirmation from Zeke that he was indeed fine..and even joking about the matter Hady dropped the situation. It seemed that Professor Airey didn't mind either as he clearly saw what was happening and said nothing. Well either she misunderstood the idea of this activity or nothing made sense anymore. Shaking her head and then running her hand through to hair to get it out of her face she moved her attention to everywhere else in the room. She'd help her house mates out if they were to steal a ball from another house but otherwise she would remain where she was. Speaking of house mates she was totally open, her eyes meeting Olly. He could toss the ball her way when he was ready. |
catching that ball for Slytherin so it doesn't fall into Gryffie hands again Quote:
|
6: From Gryffindor/Throwing Olly could see Hady near the Slytherin platform. At first he thought she was busy defending it, or heading to steal one for herself, but then he locked eyes with her. She knew that he needed help, and he knew it meant that she was open. He nodded and threw the ball as hard as possible. He hoped that it would reach her before someone from a different team was able to intercept it. |
Catching pass from Olly! When her eyes met with Olly's for that brief moment she knew that he understood. That's all that mattered. Hady watched as he threw the red lions ball her way. Sailing. Sailing through the air. Hady leaped off the snakes platform her arms up to catch the ball. Smooth pass this was! Catching it easily enough she jumped into the air the second her feet hit the floor and tossed it onto their platform watching it turn green. A quick thumbs up was sent to Olly on a nice pass! |
5: Pass attempt Katherine JUMPED when Professor Flamsteed warned her like that. She went as red as the Gryffindor's balls over there, and looked down in shame. She meant no harm! She failed the whole class now, didn't she? She didn't even get it. Was using wands not allowed altogether in this class? Eh, whatever. She just... jumped towards the Ravenclaw side to hand-deliver the ball this time. She WOULD make it up to the professor, she would! |
Post 2 - Steal Complete from Ravvie - Pass Attempt Scarlett was amazed. Apparently NO ONE HAD SEEN HER?! How perfect! With the Ravenclaw ball now safely in her hand, she crept away from the pile and with a big jump, she FLEW through the air with the help of the assisted gravity again and headed towards her home team. She HAD to be successful because she was NOT coming in last to Ravenclaw. No SIR. She wound out her arm and tossed it through the air, hoping that one of her badger classmates would be able to snag it and add it to their pile before anyone else did... |
Interception >:) Quote:

Stealing from Slytherin Kitty's fear of getting injured by someone blocking her too hard was gone. It vanished when she successfully stole that ball from Hufflepuff and passed it to Olivia. Now it was fun! Elated by the victory, Kitty set her sights on the Slytherin platform. She jumped on the platform and grabbed the closest ball, then turned to look for a fellow Ravenclaw to pass it to. |
6: not doing anything though XD Quote:
No, actually, Katherine was about to be real. Her own competitive side was kicking in. Her anger was rising. WHO was he, even?! A spoilt Slytherin boy who was probably - oh no. Nononono. No. He was flirting with her, wasn't he? He must have seen her during the feast and/or charms, and this was his way of drawing her attention. All the signs were there: the grin, the obsessive stalking, the heroism in the means of jumping weirdly to intercept her balls, the cheeky attitude... she wasn't that stupid, just so he knew. And she certainly was NOT that kind of a girl who looked for a boyfriend this young - she would have one when she graduated. She wasn't about to throw away her academics for him. And she wasn't that stupid to engage in any kind of conversation with him during the lesson either; she had already made Professor Flamsteed yell at her once. No, she would deal with him after class - if he didn't become more obsessive. The Hufflepuffs didn't even have any balls left, though; she wasn't going near the Gryffindors and she certainly wasn't going near HIM. So... that was it, then? |
Passing Slytherin ball Quote:

7: Catching it! Quote:
Thankfully, Kitty saw her. PERFECT! She quickly jumped into the air to catch the ball. She wasn't even distracted by the silly boy! She CAUGHT it, and quickly brought it to their area. THEY MADE IT! TAKE THAT, SLYTHERIN. |
Post 3- failed interception AND attempted steal from Gryffindor! Quote:
Desperately, she looked around, wondering who the next target would be. She hoped someone had gotten that Hufflepuff ball but if not - at least it was out of Ravenclaw hands. Speaking of, there was a Ravenclaw nearby who was getting ready to make a pass - and this was Scarlett's chance! One, two...THREE! She took three big steps and bounced off her last step, FLYING through the air and...GAH missed it by inches! And the intended target had caught it and tossed it in the Ravenclaw pile. Well that was just not going to do. Her first instinct was to try and steal the ball back - but she had a feeling that was not going to end well. They'd already seen her try to take them out! So instead...she turned to Gryffindor. Time to take from the top! Apparently Scarlett was going to have to hold down the entire Hufflepuff fort on her own. Sigh. |

He blinked. This was a surprise; Daxton had been expecting to have to complete some equally undesirable task as those students currently flailing around the classroom, who were by now practically body-slamming into each other. But the task he was being presented with was downright appealing. Almost suspiciously so. Daxton hesitated for a very long moment, thinking hard about any way this could backfire on him, but ultimately reached out and took the parchment, nodding his head as he did so. No further reaction or comment (silent or otherwise) was really necessary, so Daxton manoeuvred his way back to where the desks were pushed up to the edges of the room, having slight difficulty what with still not having fully adjusted to the gravity situation in the room. But once he was there, Daxton climbed up to sit cross-legged on one of the desks, as far away from the action as possible with his back against the wall. Other than looking up to check the situation in the classroom every few seconds (because this was not a comfortable environment, and all he could do was remain alert and aware, and keep one ear uncovered) Daxton got stuck right in with writing out his chart, using pen on parchment as usual and leaning against his notebook as a makeshift surface. But if anyone did anything that dragged him into the proceedings - including, but not limited to, throwing one of those balls at his head, and that seemed highly likely - Daxton would be out of here, and he would give nobody the opportunity to stop him again. |
Post 4 - Steal complete from Gryffie - and calling out Flamsteed! :P WOOHOO! Scarlett had managed to snag one of the Gryffindor balls this time without anyone trying to stop her. It seemed the Ravenclaws were totally DOMINATING this game though. And her Hufflepuff teammates were NOWHERE - absolutely NOWHERE - to be found. She had to pass it to someone, as she couldn't very well just run around scooping up all the balls herself, and when she noticed that Professor Flamsteed had just dropped a ball towards Ariadne - well, this was her chance! "Psst! Professor! Could you put this on the Hufflepuff pile for me? PLEASEEEEE?" she called out. They couldn't finish with a COMPLETELY empty pile! With that, she tossed it to him, hoping he would catch it and play along with her. He wouldn't let a poor firstie finish this lesson totally empty handed, right?! |

Post 8 :: Airey's toss and attempted steal from Ravvie Quote:
Quote:
It was thrown, and just as Ariadne was about to get it, another boy STOLE IT from her! It was those Gryffindor boys again, wasn't it?! Frown on her face, Ariadne floated around to see that it actually wasn't one the Lion cubs, but one of her own teammates! She changed her expression to a smile and gave the boy a thumbs up. So she was a little disappointed that she didn't get to make the catch herself, but at least it had been a Slytherin this time! Deciding that the Gryffindor boys just weren't going to let her win, Ariadne floated over to the Ravenclaw platform and took one of their balls. Maybe they would be easier to take from! Now...where were her teammates? |
*ahem* Stealing Attempt from Gryffindor Seeing as Mr. Prince was taking care of, the astronomer turned his attention to his sundial watch and then back to the action. Hmmm...where to go next...perhaps to his own house's platform just to throw a wrench into their defenses? Always expect the unexpected! Quote:
"ALAS!" he lamented, snapping his fingers for additional effect. Then, he jumped up towards the Gryffindor platform and reached out to snatch a red ball from it. Heh. OOC: no more updates at this time. CARRY ON! |
5. defending attempt (Flamsteeed!) She was back near the Gryffindor area somehow, all this jumping around had brought her back to the HIGHEST PYRAMID BALL PILE almost like she was a worshipper of it. The jumpy dancing around only adding to the effect. Arms up and everything. Speaking of arms up, WHAT WAS PROFESSOR FLAMSTEED DOING? "TRAAAAITOR!" Charlotte jumped UP and DOVE IN BETWEEN THE PROFESSOR AND THE GRYFFINDOR PLATFORM. NOOOOOOOOO! |
Attempted steal: Ravenclaw PROFESSOR FLAMSTEED HAD BEEN STEALING FROM THEM? Mel watched in disbelief as she moved over toward the Ravenclaw platform. Her footing sure and deliberate as she made her way toward them. Surely they weren’t as suspicious of her as the Slytherins were now? Right? With that the little first year jumped with all the gusto she could muster and lifted her hands up grabbed onto the edge of the platform only to swiftly swing herself up onto it and sit down. Ravenclaw was going dowwwwwwnnnnnnn. “ANYONE WANT MY BALL?” she yelled as she grabbed a blue ball and held it in the air ready to throw it to a teammate. |
Quote:
And yea. He'd let her do that. Yup. While he inched away... He was halfway back towards the Slytherin platform when he skidded to a halt. When did Mel get to the Ravenclaw side? DIDN'T MATTER! He changed his direction and stood underneath the Ravenclaw platform. "HEY MEL! Toss it down!" |
Pass attempt Quote:
She liked him…well, for that at least. Lifting the ball she chucked it down to him. “Keep up the good work Lance” she grinned and got ready to steal again. |
