Post 5: Intercepting the toss from Haddie to Rachel Hady had taken notice out of the corner of her eye of someone whom just so happened to not be on her team near the green platform. Being on the other side she hadn't been able to keep her from getting the ball but she was quick enough to jump in her way. Sorry name stealer and little flower friend but this wasn't going to happen. Leaping upwards into the air she caught the ball before it could each Rachel. With a small smirk she tossed it back onto the snakes platform. Nice try girls but not good enough. |
Post 4 - Stealing from Gryffindors AGAIN. (xD) Quote:
"I'll get back that yellow you stole away from me, shortcake!" Henric grinned and grabbed another one of their red balls. And OH NO! He saw his girlfriend landed right into the pyramids! "llia, are you alright?!"Henric changed his course and bounced towards her with his stolen red ball in tact. Merlin, that was one heck of a tumble. Good thing llia seemed to recover well on her own. Safety first! And also...he should get more white balls instead or stealing. Meh...oh well! |
Post 5 - Stealing it back again :P Quote:
Oh, look! He was distracted by the girlfriend who had just landed right into the pyramids. Well, maybe this wasn't a good time but... The young lioness managed to get the red ball again from the Hufflepuff Prefect's hand. Sorry! But you should've never get distracted by your girlfriend, brother! She bounced back to the Gryffindor platform and put back the ball. |
Post 5- The Middle Oh, no! Rachel had missed her opportunity when Hady caught the ball. "I'm sorry, Haddie,'' she called in disappointment to her best friend. "Nice catch, Hady.'' She smiled at the older Slytherin. Now, was there anyone else who wanted her to catch a ball for Ravenclaw? Rachel scanned the room but saw no one. She noted Haddie had decided to target the Hufflepuffs. Rachel decided she would go over to the middle pile again. She was sure if she took a ball from the other three Houses, she would feel as though she were stealing despite it being a game. She jumped easily onto the platform, scooped up a white ball then hurried back to the Ravenclaw platform. Up she went! Another ball, now blue, for her House's pile. |
Post 5 - Taking from the middle Wow. Talk about a lot of back and forth. Esme giggled as she watched Henric and Ava. It was rather funny. She shot her teammate a thumbs up. He was doing a good job defending their house. She, on the other hand, was doing a good job of bringing in more balls. They were shaping up to be quite the team. With another huge leap, she collected another ball from the center platform. There were fewer now, and she wondered how much longer the game would go on for. Not that she wanted it to stop - she was merely curious. Another leap had a yellow ball resting on the Hufflepuff platform. |
post 8 - stealing from Hufflepuff Haddie glared as she watched the other Hady intercept her toss. She'll get it back she told herself, but for now, the Hufflepuff prefect was distracted with the Gryffindor girl, so they were a prime target. Hadley continued her way to the Hufflepuff platform and snatched a yellow ball from it. Now to get it back to the Ravenclaw platform. She let herself fall away from the platform. |
Post 5- from the middle Quote:
Shaking off her embarrassing stumble, she snatched a ball that she had nearly knocked off the platform and walked off the platform. She wasn't going to try flipping again right now. She was too tall for doing it gracefully at this moment and she didn't feel like kissing the platform. She'd save that for Henric. Using her momentum she rocketed herself back onto the green platform gracefully this time. She smiled at Hady's save and added one more ball to the beautiful green. Go snakes! |
Post 6 - Defending Quote:
Esme noticed the steal attempt and was going to do her best to protect the ball like Henric had been doing. "Could you give the ball back?" she said in an attempt at interception. She held her hand out. If she didn't give it back over, looked like she would need to take matters into her own hands. |
Post1. Taking from the Middle! Still pouting about not being able to become astronauts, it took Kay a little bit to start the activity. Watching her classmates closely, she tried to gage the best action for her. She saw that the Hufflepuff area was pretty well protected, and she wasn;t confident enough to try to steal from another house yet, so it looked like the middle was the best option. She jumped to ever shrinking pyramid, letting out a whoop when she jumped quite a few feet into the air, thanks to the 1/3 gravity. The curly haired girl managed to grab a ball before falling back on the ground, landing on her bottom. "Oof!" she grumbled before standing back up. After she dusted herself off, she made her way the Hufflepuff area, and with a little more control,she jumped up and placed the ball on the platform. The 11 year old grinned when she watched it turn yellow. She turn around, and debated on what to do next. |
post 9 - passing the Hufflepuff ball Quote:
Hufflepuffs were a sweet bunch. "Bye!" Haddie waved and bounced off toward the Slytherin platform to reclaim the ball she stole that had been intercepted. |
Post 6- Catching Haddie's toss! Quote:
Without hesitating, Rachel edged closer to the platform's edge. No one was going to stop her this time, hopefully. Arms out, she kept her eyes on the ball. In no time she had caught it! "I got it, Haddie!" Smiling, she quickly deposited into the Ravenclaw pile. |
Post 1 - Taking from the middle Olly liked activities that put the houses in competition with each other. But he did really like to win, so sometimes he got way more into the game than he should. But it was fun. This was sounded fun because there was the potential to steal from the other houses. Olly grinned, but glanced around suspiciously, making sure no one was trying to steal balls from Slytherin. He would not let them get away with that. Though he did want to steal, there were still balls in the middle. They were easier targets, so it made sense to get all of those before going after the other houses. Olly made his way over through the thick of the competition. He grabbed a ball and hurried back to the Slytherin platform. It wasn't difficult. He just had to jump once or twice and he was back. The gravity in the room was cool. Could it be like that all the time? Olly set his ball on the Slytherin platform and it turned green. Then he turned to face the rest of the room to see where he was needed next. |
Post 7 - Taking from the middle Esme rolled her eyes. Whatever. Making her way back to the center of the room, she leaped towards the platform and grabbed another ball. Maybe people would learn that there were more Houses to steal from than her own? Talk about discriminating against the Hufflepuffs. Okay, she was playing for fun. She just didn't like how her House was being singled out. With another leap she placed the ball on the Hufflepuff platform and watched as it turned yellow. |
Post 1: taking from middle: Zeke-whispering The thing was, Amur didn't particularly want to move. See, she was sitting beside someone smart. She actually felt like she was absorbing some of the smartness from David. He oozed it. It was lovely. His last two answers had her nodding and nodding and nodding. Brownie points for smartness. Or, she supposed that was how house points worked. Plus, it was warm under the blanket. Hopping about in the cold didn't sound horrible when one was outside of the blanket, but when one was inside well....it became a different story. Still, using minimal gravity in a game similar to capture the flag just sounded absolutely fantastic. So, she was able to work first her arms then her legs out of the blanket. She might have left it on as a cape too, would it not impede movement so much. With a huff of air, Amur braced herself and threw it off. Then it was moving the desk. And then chaos broke loose. Pure and utter chaos. She sort of just stood and blinked. If she didn't move, she could see everything. If she did then she would loose that advantage. But, that being said, Amur didn't think Professor Flamsteed would appreciate a stationary body. A sudden thought struck Amur, and she glanced from Flamsteed to the balls to the Professor to her own hands. What if.....? He hadn't said they couldn't. And what was the point in asking permission if the likely answer would be a 'no'. This was magic school after all, wasn't it? With a private smile, Amur weasled her wand out of her sleeve, and tried for the disillusionment charm. The first time fizzled. The second time got her feet. The third her legs. The fourth nothing. The fifth seemed to be the charm, and she was more or less disillusioned. Save for the fact it wasn't a perfect blend, and it probably looked more like a weird blob of air moving through space, distorting things around it, but hey, it was a start! With a grin, Amur went for the middle balls, snatching one off the platform and skittering back to the Gryffindor corner. There, she deposited it and caught sight of her favorite other Gryffindor. "Pssst. Zeke. Tag team?" He would understand what that meant, right? |
Post 3 Stealing from Ravenclaw Kaylee watched as the Ravenclaw grab one of their balls." I am going to get that ball back!" She cried out before jumping off the Hufflepuff platform. She landed on the fall with a little more grace than last time. She ran towards the blue platform, and jumped up again, 'This almost anti-gravity jumping is fun.' She thought when she landed on the platform. The young girl grabbed the ball that they just stole from her house. "I will take this back, thank you very much." She said with a smile. The normally sigh and quiet girl was caught up in the game and her inner competitive self came out. She turned her back to the Ravenclaws and made to jump off the platform.... |
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand they were off! The astronomer longed to participate as well, for entirely selfish reasons that had nothing to do with assisting his own house towards victory - though they seemed to be doing a fine job of that themselves judging on the piles on each house's platform at the moment. No, the space oddity simply longed to live out a bit of fantasy. Perhaps...he would...just to throw a bit of a wrench into each house's plans. But not yet. he would wait just a little more before adding to the chaos. MWAHAHA! Quote:

And that neutral pile of balls on the middle platform was looking pretty sparse now...soon the game would REALLY be on! OOC: just a few notes of clarification because I've been asked:yes: Sorry for any confusion my instructions may have caused and thank you all for your patience and participation:loved: |
Post 8 - Taking from the middle Ugh, what was she doing? She was starting to feel bad for getting irritated. Silly too. Esme reminded herself that this was just a game for fun. Where was the fun in getting bothered by something? The underdogs were something she rooted for and she got rather passionate about it. Sometimes it was hard for her to control these emotions. Taking a deep breath, she went for another ball before making her way over to the Hufflepuff platform and placing it on top. Out of the corner of her eyes, she spotted Kaylee making a claim to retrieve their last stolen ball. She was open to receive the pass. |
2; taking from the middle. This was getting very hyperactive, very fast. While Jaemin was all about hyperactivity... it was a little late in the day for it. The small boy rubbed his eye with the back of his hand before bouncing himself back up to the middle platform to grab one of the neutral balls. Those were the safest option right now, and it wouldn't hurt to get more of them on the green platform, right? Then all they had to do was defend! Song Jaemin. Slytherin Strategist. The boy snatched a white ball up, just barely, before bounding back to his own house's platform to set it down. Greeeeen. Just like a plant. |
Post 3-Tossing to Esme! (Kay's quite the smug little girl when she playing games 0_0) The Ravenclaws must of been in shocked of a tiny first year stealing a ball from under their noses, because nothing happen when she made the jump down. She glanced at the Hufflepuff platform and saw the Esme was opened. "ESME! Catch! she shouted, before tossing the ball towards the older Hufflepuff, hoping no one intercept it. She turned back to Ravenclaw platform, and gave a little bow and said, a tad bit smugly "Thank you again!" She said before nearly skipping back to the Hufflepuff platform. |
3; interceptionnnnnn Quote:
...aaaaaand popped right back up again when he heard a shout, flailing a bit in the air as he reached out to grab the thrown ball instead of a white one. Why not? "Thanks!" he yelled with a grin, before bouncing off to the Slytherin platform once again. |
1. Taking from the middle Yikes, this was scary! Kitty had never flown on a broom because it looked risky - and even watching a game of Quidditch made her queasy. Thankfully there were no brooms involved here, but the jumping and stealing didn't look nearly as fun to her as it did to everyone else. But still, she hated being left out of anything - and she knew Professor Flamsteed would notice if she didn't participate. And so, Kitty very cautiously jumped into the platform, hoping she wouldn't crash into it or miss. Landing, she picked up the closest ball she could find (they were almost gone now) and then tried to bounce back towards her own platform. So far so good... |
Post 4: Stealing from Slytherin and passing to Esme ((Take 2)) Kay watched as a Slytherin boy jumped and took the ball she was tossing towards Esme and took it to the Slytherin platform. 'How dare he do that!' she thought to herself, before rushing towards the Slytherin platform. " You are not welcome!" she shot back at the boy, before grabbing the ball back from the Slytherins. Let's try this again! Esme! Catch!" She tossed the ball towards the Hufflepuff girl as she jumped off the Slytherin platform. |
Pass Interception! Quote:
Hopping off the Gryffindor platform, he bounded towards the middle area in where all the neutral balls were located, getting ready to leap up and grab one. Though just as he did, he managed to INTERCEPT a green ball mid-air. Har har! "BINGO!" he beamed, hopping up back onto the Gryffindor platform and placing the green ball -- now red -- into their stack. |
4; taking from the middle ooc: um... from what I understand of Kath's rules, you're not supposed to steal and throw in the same post? I think? Well. That should have been expected. Jaemin wasn't quick enough to stop the girl who seemed to be moving lightning fast, so instead the small boy bounced toward the middle again to get another white ball. He'd just get another one! Jumping up, pushing himself up high enough to grab from the middle platform, he snatched up another white ball and then bounded back over to the Slytherin one to make it turn green. |

Meanwhile, the professor began to make his move towards the Slytherin platform himself, his eye on the prize. OOC: Ameh is right and apologies for my wording being confusing <3 To steal you need 1 post taking the ball off the platform and then a 2nd post throwing it to a teammate. Not both actions in the same post! I have updated the original rules to hopefully reflect this more clearly! |
