Capture The Jolly Roger
Kit enjoyed athletic based games. Not particularly great at casting spells by any means, she found other sports and things to enjoy herself with- such as quidditch. Capture the Flag was new to her, but it sounded like a minimal spell and minimal drama sort of game. So with that, Kit would sign up before leaving to find other games.
The set-up... was really cool! Green eyes gazed at the design of the ships and the obstacles as she waited to get a life vest and instructions, wondering how long this took to set up. With professors probably not that long, but if had been entirely students? She wasn't sure, but either way it was impressive. With the life vest now secured and the rules understood, it was time to join the game and meet her team.
She'd offer a wave to any of them that she did see or who glanced in her direction, a bright smile on her face. This was exciting! Her attention would quickly turn from her team back to the obstacles. None of them looked particularly bad, except for their own- thank goodness she didn't have to deal with that- and the one for the Golden Flag. That made sense, of course, especially with the point difference between such a flag and a normal one. She wasn't too sure what the best strategy was, but she hoped someone else on the Pink Parrots team knew. In the mean time, she would take a deep breath and prepare herself for the fun game ahead.

EmmaLee's blue eyes went wide as she entered the course for Capture the Jolly Roger and stood with the other students to be told of the rules and given their teams. She had braided her long, white hair and twirled it into a high bun in order to keep it out of her way during this game. The officials had given her a life vest that she held under her arm as she was a good swimmer and didn't think she would need it. She had learned to swim in the ocean and had been swimming in it ever since, so she didn't think their fake ocean would be that much of a problem.
On the other hand though, her mind swam as she realized what a colossal mistake this was and she bite her bottom lip in a rush of nervousness. She was not athletic. A good swimmer, but otherwise barely able to wrestle her own trunk across the field to her tent. She could probably contribute to strategy, but she wasn't even sure her noodle arms and legs could clear her own obstacle, much less anyone else's. Why had she even done this? Oh yeah. In the spirit of enjoying camp to the fullest and trying new things she had joined every single event that she was allowed to and, to be honest, most of them had gone well, but...yeah...this looked like it was well beyond her capabilities.
Once the rules were explained, she wandered over to the ship with the lilac flag and waved to the student she supposed was her captain. "Hello. I'm EmmaLee LeDames. I hope we have a good time." She said with a nervous smile as she boarded the ship, hoping that she wouldn't bring the whole team down and that she could do something to positively contribute. She also noticed Stephen Schwartz on her boat and smiled, happy to at least see a familiar face in that of her tentmate.
"Hello, Stephen." She said, waving at him.

Capture The Jolly Roger
Oliver was tired, anxious, and lost as he made his way through a crowd of unfamiliar faces. Although just by looking at him you would only see exhaustion. Probably not a good thing to be feeling right before a big game of capture the flag. Despite how he was feeling, Oliver was actually looking forward to this event. He had a fascination with pirates here lately thanks to the anime ‘One Piece’, and this event played with that theme. He would get the chance to be on a pirate ship out on a lake fighting for flags, what could be better?Word Count: 279|Language: Japanese, English, Thoughts | Interacting: Edward Smith@Noah Jupe@Rita Su @ Starlee Kennedy
After a while of just following a crowd of students Oliver finally reached the destination. Seeing the ships was enough to get his blood pumping as excitement started to course through him he started to grin. As he went over to step on to the ships a life jacket was presented to him (he politely declined) and the rules were explained.
“Got it.” He said with a nod.
As he proceeded to his teams ship, Oliver made note of a golden flag surrounded by a string of obstacles. ‘Well that’s gonna be difficult’ He thought himself as he yawned. Continuing on his way Oliver made it to his teams ship. He was thrilled that he wasn’t the first to arrive. He wasn’t a fan of awkward situations. As he walked up to the group he caught Starlee’s introduction.
“Hey guys,” He said as if he approached his best friends. “Oliver, and uh Hogwarts, like her.” He said with a smile and pointed over at Starlee. It was simple and sweet, just perfect for a boy of few words.

Capture The Jolly Roger
This was going to so much fun! Camp had been a blast so far and the 12-year-old was so glad she had come. Instead of just reading about adventure, pirates and treasure, she was now living it! She’d dressed for the adventure today, with long black pants elasticized at the end, and long, lightweight, dark blue top and black shoes that had plenty of grip. She’d even tied her curls up from her face into a ponytail. They’d only get in her way when running and dodging.
Twirling her wand in her hand, she grinned at the sight of the ginormous obstacle course created for Capture the Jolly Roger coming into view as she neared the set area. She had been informed earlier that it was five teams with five ships and loads of flags. Like loads. Including a golden one! Bea mused that since it was golden, it would most likely be the most difficult.
Even though camp had been going for a while, she didn’t recognise anyone. None of her tent mates or friends were playing the game from what it seemed. Hilda had gone off somewhere and Bea wasn’t able to find her before the game. All well…She’d be able to make friends with her team. If not friends, they’d still be united, hopefully, by their desire to win. As she neared the center of the group milling around, a thick Russian accent boomed overhead. Bea whipped her head towards the voice. It seemed she had found her team captain. She grinned again and practically skipped over. This was going to so much fun!

Capture The Jolly Roger
*the stats in banner are old, see bottom of the post for the right ones
|
As this was an activity that required lots of movement and Eliza had refused to give up her wearing a dress, the girl wore a simple yellow sports dress. The little dress was actually for a muggle sport which the blond was extremely unfamiliar with but she did know the outfit looked great on her and gave her enough space to move freely, the two most important pieces of information. These were the last few days of camp and she was planning on ending the camp with a bang. Eliza would give it her all to collect as many flags for her team and show everybody how great she was.
As her eyes scanned the crowd of students, she noticed the familiar face of one of the girls she shared a tent with. When she spotted Beatrice, Elizaveta stopped fidgeting with one of the two Dutch braids in her hair and waved at the other girl, hoping she would see her. The dreamy girl had been wandering around for a bit when she heard a boy's voice shout something in a familiar language, Russian, the one she grew up with and had missed a ton during her days at summer camp. It seemed to be a call for a team to gather, which she had wanted to ignore at first but then realized she was on the team that was being called out.
As the boy repeated his words in English, Eliza quietly made her way to the group hoping not to draw too much attention from the other students that were already gathered. Awkwardly wearing the life jacket that had been given to her when the rules were explained and totally ruined her outfit, she listened as the others introduced themselves. Both Starlee and Oliver were from Hogwarts, the first also adding her house, something Eliza now knew wasn't a building thanks to Avery's help. Speaking about Avery, wasn't the fake gentleman also in the same Hogwarts house as this girl? Her mind wandered off, realizing she hadn't seen the boy this whole summer, and she forgot to introduce herself.

────────────────────── ㅤ
ㅤ──────────────────────| ── | The summer really had passed within the blink of an eye. Perhaps that was due in part to his new friends, which Hiro was incredibly thankful for. They had saved him. From endless boredom, disappointment and sadness. Essentially, what he'd always experienced each summer up until now. He almost didn't want summer to end but at the same time, at least he wouldn't be going back home. When he left here, he'd be heading back to Mahoutokoro. That was something at least. Over the past few summer months, his school robes had started to change color. At first they hadn't been that noticeable but eventually Hiro had begun to take note of it. Sometimes he had wondered if it had just been a trick of the light or a mere daydream. But it was definitely real. Hiro's purple robes were slowly becoming navy blue robes. By the time he returned to Mahoutokoro, if this kept up, they would be navy blue. It was actually perfect timing, the start of a new year and a new color for his robes. Part of him was happy, while another part was nervous. Navy blues were hard to maintain and many responsibilities came with it. Could he do it? Hiro shook his head, of course he could do it. All he needed to do was apply himself. He hadn't noticed the color change for awhile because he had been wearing casual clothes. They were much cooler. Regardless, now was not the time to think about his color-changing robes that he wasn't wearing right now. It was time for one of the last two scheduled events, or games, for summer camp. Capture the Flag, Hiro believed it was called. No, wait. Capture the Jolly Roger. Yes, that was it. He'd been selected to be a captain of one of the teams. Ironically enough, the team's name was called the Pink Parrots. Pink made him think of Winnie and he wished he'd dyed his hair pink because that would have been perfect. But he'd already chosen a duo-toned color for the quidditch match. As he approached his ship's location, Hiro glanced over when someone shouted his name. A familiar person. A shock of blue hair met his eyes. Ah, the girl who he felt really comfortable around. The two had gotten way closer over the summer, along with her grandmother. Hiro raised a hand into the air and waved at her, giving her a bright smile. "You too, Red! We'll be a tough team to take out!" He told her as they passed by eachother. At the time, they were close enough that they didn't need to shout, but as they kept walking the distance between them would grow. Hiro glanced over at Ayako who had appeared beside him and was now walking with him to their ship. They had a good chance to win. "With you on our team, I don't see how we could ever lose." Hiro told Ayako with a grin. Reaching their destination, Hiro waited for the other members of their team to show up and looked over at Ayako again as she spoke to him. "Mm. I spent spring break with her and then also the summer months up until we came here." He told Ayako and nodded as he listened to the girl speak to the other members. "Once everyone is here, we should discuss strategies." Hiro told them all when they had gathered. The boy was curious to know what others would think of the game and what they would want to do. There were various options. ────────────────────── ㅤ ㅤ──────────────────────

Capture The Jolly Roger
Throwing herself into everything sometimes brings unexpected results.
First, she couldn't have even guessed that on a wizarding event they would be not allowed to use wands. That came as a shock to her as she wasn't very comfortable with... not using the wand for everything. Well, not now, of course, with the trained benefits she could allow herself not to draw the wand out of the holster, but still. One thing was to use magic without a wand, another was to not use magic at all! Muggle fun then? Whatever.
Second, it was in the water. Well, not exactly no the surface, but still the chance of getting wetter tan usual wasn't her comfortable state of existing. So, erm, a swimming robe would do well. With all the sorts of water-repelling enchantments. Thank Merlin (of course, not Merlin, but she didn't have time or mental capacity to remember the inventory of the spell, anyway) there was the Impervius Charm, which she successfully used on her clothes. She couldn't allow wearing any sort of swimsuit just like this.
And there's not 'third'. That was it. It was enough, really. She read the rules, let them sink in her head for a while, trying to get what behaviour or position would suit her capabilities best. But as it was no duelling and she would have to exercise some real physical activities out there.
That works. For a change.

Arrives to the scene feeling awkward; searches for her teammates but knows no one from the team, actually.

This is it. This is the day Ronnie most anticipated from all the other this year's camp activities. Sure he loved the Triathalon event but nothing can compete with Capture the Flag or on this particular day Capture the Jolly Rogers. From the moment little Verona could run up to this point he was an active person.
Climbing tree, participating in São Paulo annual marathon, playing soccer, running, and swimming was just one of Ronnie's favorite past times. When it came down Capture the Flag or playing Tag, Ronnie's competitive side most of the time shone through. And when he saw Capture the Jolly Rogers needed a team captain, he stepped up onto the figurative plate.
After he signed up and put down his name as one of the team captains, he received a note from the Camp committee who are his team members. Ronnie looked down at the piece of paper but the only name he knew was Durmstrang's Chaser (Charles Alluring). And for the rest of his team members? he will learn their names as the game progressed on.
Barefooted and only dressed in his Summer-theme swim trunks (red flower and green leaves white trunks), Ronnie stepped out of his tent and followed the horde of masses into pentagon-like wooden platforms. He deliberately uses the trunks so his chiseled body and his defined muscles (especially his abs) are on the display for all to gawk and stare at.
Once he was led up into the planks, one of the committee and alongside the nurse gave out life jackets and the person in charge of this game explain the rules. Even though Ronnie did not need the life jacket (he is a great swimmer), he still accepted the life jacket respectfully. Once the person in charge of this game had done explaining the rules of the games, Ronnie pulled out the little piece of paper that he stored in one of his swim trunks' pockets.
"Tudo bem, vamos fazer isso! Alright, let's do it!"The Castelobruxo student said in Portuguese to no one in particular but himself. Ronnie then unfold the paper and his blue-grey eyes scanned the names. "If you hear your name being called, please stood beside me,"The Duellist speaks up to the masses.
"Charles Nako Alluring, Florian LeRoy, Greta Fransson, Lucinia Thawin, Mike Vartanian, and Seven Corigault-Seto, you are all with me,"Ronnie mentioned his teammates' names with his heavily English-Portuguese accented. Once his teammates or what Ronnie dubbed as deck mates gathered around him, he smiled up at them.
"My name is Verona Carlito Andréas Ramírez or for short goes by Ronnie will be acting as your capitão da equipe para hojeo team captain for today. Although I am your capitão da equipe for today, do not feel afraid to throw ideas so we can come up as the winner,"Ronnie stated and a half smile rose up from his lips.
"First thing first, our ship's name is Coral Crossbones. Welcome fellow pirates!"Ronnie greeted the rest of his deck mates. "And second order in business, who got ideas on which ships we should take down first?"Ronnie eyes scanned his 6 teammates. And from that point, the floor is open for the Coral Crossbones crews to discuss strategy within the group.

The reflection. The flash of blue staring back at him, the strains of the mirror reflecting back at him. The teen held a hand to his right shoulder, brushing his fingers aginest the skin. Swallowing hard. There was a reason why he didn't go swimming or around other shirtless anymore.... the scattered spiderweb scar across his back, the fading red and scattered crosses. Spread across his right shoulder blade ending at the middle of his back.
The scar. The one reminder of the night. That night.... where he saw Romeo and Valentin. Where he figured out what was important to him. Who his group at durmstrang would be.
Charles pulled his eyes away from the mirror, brushing back his hair. He knew he couldn't be late for the event that day. Mind thinking of Ronnie, a flicker of a smile. Wondering if they would meet at the event. If they would be on the same team.
Pulling on his short sleeve black shirt, wearing the electric blue swimshorts. The teen left the bathroom of the Horntails, leaving the foyer for the event area that day.
Keeping in step, the teen ran his hand along his chest. Rubbing at it. Suppressing the nerves. The teen shallowed, reminding himself he couldn't appear weak. Not today. Not in front of Ronnie.... Ronnie... the lad who danced in his dreams, smiling softly at the thought for a moment before it faded. Dropping his hand, eyes glanced around. Ensuring no one saw.
Coming into view of the ships. The teen stared, he admitted it was a impressive sight for the hogwarts students but still wasn't durmstrang. Perhaps being on the Horntails and quidditch team had blossomed some school pride. The teen would seek out someone be knows, walking past a few students gathered. Laughing. Chatting among themselves. The teen shoved the faces away when he heard his name and that voice....
The teen stopped in his tracks, he spun his eyes around until he saw him. Ronnie. The teen smiled a bit, he would be on his team! The moments he could spend with Ronnie.
Charles started on his way to his team, looking forward to the game no matter the loser or winner. As he walked, the teen pulled off his shirt. Crumbling the fabric in a ball, tossing it to the side. If he hit someone, he didn't care as long as it wasn't someone like Greta or Ronnie.
Barefooted and now shirtless, only the electrical blue swimshorts. Smiling, the teen brushed back his blonde hair as he flexed his muscles. His athletic stance, well defined muscles with his newly set of abs that he earned from the quidditch bootcamp earlier that summer on display for all. As well as the scar scattered across his back.
Walking toward his team, Charles looked across at the other teams. Spotting Cielle, the teen smiled as he kept to the language of russian as he shouted"Good luck, Faun!" Faun another word for Satyr that the blonde has taken to calling the girl after their first morning race to the bathroom during that camp, "Shall the best win!" A head nod to the girl as he found a spot among his team mates. Deck mates. Fellow pirates.
The teen eyed his team. Only recognizing two. Ronnie, of course and Greta. Greta Fransson, the kid who reminded Charles of Haley. A glance around, seemingly he would be the only other Horntail in that team today. Charles figured that meant he would be her translator for that day plus he figured if something happened to Greta that day then the other Horntails would punish him.
The blonde would find a spot next to Greta, he would cast a nod to the girl as he spoke"hello, Fearie," Another word for Fairy, the blonde nickname he gave to the girl. Casting a nod toward Ronnie, a gentle smile as he spoke"Hello, Ronnie. Glad to be on a team together, your probably the best captain here," Smiling. The teen felt his gaze locked onto him, Ronnie. For a moment at least.
Reducio
Remembering Greta and the translating, the blonde leaned close to her as he spoke"Ronnie is the team captain, he doesn't care about the captain status and wants everyone to suggest ideas to win." Eyes flickered between the two, Greta and Ronnie.
The words, nodding to them as he translated, " our ship is called the Croal Crossbones and he welcomes us, pirates, if Niffler have only kept those props from the truth and dare then you could have had a captain hat," Smiling a little as his eyes watched over Greta, the words came from Ronnie as he spoke"he's asking which ship we should take down first," with the break in translating. The blonde kept close to Greta as his eyes shifted to Ronnie, smiling as his words spoke to Greta.
"Do you think he's cute," Charles asked the girl keeping in German. Smiling at Ronnie, his eyes caught him and couldn't move off.
Action: Entering, becoming Greta's translator, and crushing on Ronnie

Capture The Jolly Roger
English|Russian
Another day, another game, another competition. Kamila walked over to join her team, Lilac Leviathans. Kamila did not even know what a leviathan was.
"Hello everyone. I am Kamila Yavlinsky a second year student at Koldovstoretz." Kamila introduced herself, "So, who are all of you." Kamila asked even though she did not care what any of them responded with. Kamila usually used her own judgement to decide whether or not she liked someone. Peoples' words rarely meant anything, ever. It was best for them to think she actually cared about them, because if team members do not trust each other the team has no chance to win.
One of the team members introduced herself. "Hello EmmaLee. It is nice to meet you."
Kamila did not know most of her team members, which did not surprise her. In fact, the only one she did know was a boy she had met at truth or dare. "Still remember how to make pryaniki?" Kamila asked.
Kamila wondered when the game would start. Waiting was boring.
"Is everyone ready?" Kamila asked. She did not have anything better to do with her time than talk with these people anyways. At least until the game started. "What is a levianthan?" Kamila asked the captain.
