Amina crackled like one of those nasty crunchy witches from the Grimm fairy tales as her attacks hit their marks and soaked the backs of the two underclassmen in front of her. The backlash of the water didn’t only hit the young and somewhat absent first year but also herself. ”You’re in or you’re in! She called out to the youngster and jumped away from the buckets, dropping her cups and snatching a balloon instead.
As Hans turned towards her and gave her that playful look of a victim. she giggled even more and teasingly wiggled her eyebrows. ”Come on and get me then, Hänschen!” Still laughing when he walked away to arm himself more, she started singing, completely distracted by her teasing and not noticing Boram also running towards the balloons now. ”Hänschen klein, ging allein, in die weiter Welt hinein…” Reference to a german nursery song: ‘Little Hans, went alone, out into the wide world…’. Her playful rhymes were interrupted as her Hänschen splashed a good amount of the ice cold water on her and himself. It left a big dark spot on her left side, slowly spreading out towards the hem of her jersey. With a mixture of laughter and squealing, she almost dropped her balloon, but just managed to hold on to it. The cold was refreshing, but made her wince in amusement at the first contact.
”Let’s get them!” Not noticing the balloon coming her way from Astrid's hands, she yelled at Hans, trying to team up with him against everyone else. Her attack was aimed at Semyon this time, the quiet boy who was still standing not far from them at a bucket of water, holding his cup.
Amina would try to aim for the cup to not only soak the kid but also knock his own immunition on him. If he threw it before, she would just aim for his chest.

I am going to react to you, Astird, once I know if your balloon hits :)

His presence appears to have been noted. Quickly too. But in a way it would not be too surprising for the young dragonfly. After all these students had grown used to his frail presence within the past two years of school. There was much to be said about the bee colony he had grown part of, each person proving to provide their own unique but necessary function to the mix. Unique but necessary in their own functions. Like spider silk that was individual to the kind, despite the umbrella term for the species.

Caught in his thoughts, while his eyes flicked around to observe the situations and happenings, he was caught by stray bits of water. Splattering across his dungarees, causing the green cloth to darken and grow wet in a splatter. The boy didn't even flinch, continuing to hold on to the cup within his hand as he regarded Amina, who was in theory to blame for the aspiring seeker to have been caught in the crossfire.

The idea of the game, it appeared, was to remain dry and not hit, while the goal was to hit. A simple logic and as the students scattered and planned their attacks, they seemed akin to the European wood ant that struck its foes to remain alive. Just that in the name of a game the attacks were restricted to water instead of a liquid not unlike the effects of a stinging nettle.

"Hello..." a voice caught a more clear fragment of his attention and he turned his gaze towards her, but is seemed to focus on a point behind her. A girl with red long hair and somewhat fair skin stood across him. He waved his hand, mouthing the words of привет hello, though no tone crossed his lips, barely a breath escaped him. Upon her question, he gestured toward the buckets filled with water balls and the tub with water and gave a slight shrug. Cups laid scattered around, she just had to pick one up or take one of those squishy round water containers.

He figured that there was a social expectation as one of the hive, or rather nest in this instance, that he too joined. Part of him felt not opposed to this imitation of rattled wood ants, so he turned to a person he could see and recognize to be part of the Quidditch team and allowed for the water to exit the cup in an attempt to hit one of the other's with it. He would ensure to find them a flower afterwards for their troubles.

THROWING WATER ON BORAM@Nabi Park@Ileen Knight@Archer Duncan
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Arno stood still for a moment as his attack on Boram missed its mark, the ruined look of Boram's glistening shoes were like quiet accusations. He almost felt guilty; almost. But then she stuck his tongue out at him darting away, squeaking as she moved away. Something warm tugged at his chest seeing her giggling face; despite the chill in the air.

His fingers were wet from the splash as he absently ran a hand through his hair, flicking droplets off. The cold here wasn't the kind that hugged you, not like back at castelo. No, this one bit deep, nipped at your collar and wrists, reminded you of how far from home you really were. Yet, in this ridiculous soaked mess of laughter and shrieks, it didn't feel as distant as the initial days either.

He shot a quick glance at the older student, who'd gotten a lucky hit on him a moment ago.

A mug, that's all he needed.

Arno found a mug as he made his way towards Boram without calling out this time, he crosses a few steps closer and raised the mug behind her, careful to not make a sound. The weight of the water felt good in his hands, steady.

SPLASH!!!

MODERATION ROUND TWO
It didn’t take long and the side of the quidditch pitch had developed into a full-blown warzone. The students across all years gathered around the armory (the buckets and balloons) without wasting even a thought of taking cover or gaining strategic distance from one another.

The pureblood redhead Boram seemed to be more interested in what those funny colorful balloons even were. Although her shoes were squeaking and completely soaked from the last attack, she didn’t seem to burn for revenge quite yet. Testing one in her hand she was trying to figure out what those mysterious muggle items were.

Boram investigates the water balloons

Boram Insight Check (Wisdom): 10+4 = 14

She would notice the rubber stretching in her grip, pushing the walls to a more transparent status and the water inside them, gurgling happily around. Clearly a projectile that had been involved in ruining her nice shoes.

Right next to her, the silent boy Semyon decided that it was time to also participate in the fun. Rather unfazed by the previous collateral damage he had become, he first tried to socialize with Boram, providing a low-energy wave. Then, he wanted to live up to the premise of the current game. With no clear target, he just splashed the content of his cup into the direction of one of the nearest students.

Semyon attacks with cup

Does Amina hit him before he attacks?
yes, Amina is faster (naturally) | nope, Senya gets lucky | I don't care about you being nice, roll evasion

Who is his random target?
Arno | Astrid | Boram | Amina | Hans

Semyon auto fail (TP Arno [10]): 8 → no auto fail

Semyon Accuracy [10-1 (Hans’/Astrid’s Charmer)]: 10+9 = 19

Hans Evasion [10]: 13+10 = 23
→ Hans dodges

Who will be the random target of the missed attack?
Astrid | Arno | Boram | Amina

Amina auto dodge [9&10]: 8 → no auto dodge

Does she get hit? yes | no

The water ended up splashing in Hans’ direction, the boy who was already so soaked it probably wouldn’t have made much of a difference. Although he was in the middle of launching his own attack at the newcomer Astrid, Hans swiftly moved out of the way, seeing it coming from a mile away and exposing Amina as an alternative victim.
Maybe it was karma, the person he was meant to go for. She had already splattered his shirt before and now, she was even aiming at him with her own balloon, no mercy for the underclassman. Unfortunately, she already was facing his way and thus had a too easy time evading the random attack whilst she was sending her balloon on its way.

Amina throws balloon at Semyon

Amina Accuracy [20+3 (MC) -1 (Hans’/Astrid’s Charmer)]: 6+22 = 28

Semyon Evasion [10]: 4+10 = 14
→ Semyon gets hit

Semyon would find this battlefield as unmerciful for his reluctant approach - unforgiving really. You needed to commit or you ended up being caught in the crossfire or violent inclusion, as the one launched by Amina.
Aiming for his cup she aimed very carefully, but with sheer luck, the boy had emptied it already. His gaze was more shifting into his own world, leaving him defenseless and vulnerable.
The balloon hit him right on the chest on the height where his hands had been just a second ago, soaking his whole shirt and splashing into his face.
Little did he know that he got reinforcements avenging his fate while his attacker was distracted. Astrid felt excluded and sought to punish her quidditch team mate Amina with a well aimed throw on her back.

Astrid throws balloon at Amina

Astrid Accuracy [10-1 (Hans’ Charmer)]: 7+9 = 16

Amina auto dodge [9&10]: 1 → no auto dodge

Amina Evasion [20]: 14+20 = 24
→ Amina dodges

Who will be the random target of the missed attack?
Arno | Semyon | Boram | Hans

Does he get hit? yes | no

Her words announcing her appearance after performing her sneak attack gave her a slight advantage, but just in that very moment, the sixth year stepped aside, unintentionally letting the balloon pass by her right elbow and piling onto her own attack a few seconds ago, hitting Semyon on his right shoulder. The poor boy was probably still recovering from the previous hit and didn’t have time to evade the double shot. Now, he would be almost as soaked as Hans, who had a nag for including newcomers.
He didn’t want poor Astrid to feel left out and returned the favor she had just given to Semyon.

Hans throws balloon at Astrid

Hans auto fail (TP Arno [10]): 8 → no auto fail

Hans Accuracy [10-1 (Astrid’s Charmer)]: 6+9 = 15

Astrid Evasion [9]: 14+9 = 23
→ Astrid dodges

Who will be the random target of the missed attack?
Arno | Boram | Semyon | Amina

Does she get hit? yes | no

The Quidditch player was too quick on her feet for his attempt and casually tilted her whole body out of the way, letting the balloon miss its mark with probably the most stylish performance so far. Too easy for her and just enough of a vision block to expose Boram, who was still standing at the buckets, squeezing her own balloon.
It would pass her shoulder and burst on the ground a few inches away from her, leaving a puddle, this time further away from her precious shoes and confirming her conclusion: Those were meant to be thrown at people and they contain water.
Her flirty friend Arno didn’t want her to make this only a scientific research experience and tried to help her figure the whole point of this out faster. Helping himself to a cup of water, he leaped forward, aiming it at the redhead who just so luckily was spared a free shower.

Arno attacks Boram with cup

Arno Accuracy [10-1 (Hans’/Astrid’s Charmer)]: 19+9 = 28

She saw the water coming her way, emerging from the cup that was pointed at her, sparkling in the sun and then splashing right into her face, soaking her hair and shoulders. One would wonder - was this enough to make her seek revenge now?

End of School year
She tilted her head as the shy boy mouthed a greeting, О, так он немой? Oh, he's a mute? Perhaps not, but Boram did not inquire.

Just in case.

She was not that dumb, after all.

The boy gestured toward the buckets and odd colorful squish balls, nodding slightly as she took note of the cups that were scattered around. Her soft curls danced as she turned to look back at him, giving him a polite smile, "Спасибо! Thanks!" Had it not been for the colorful spheres, Boram would have acquired a cup sooner.

But the spheres of death called to her...

Apart from the coolness of the water trapped inside, the ball appeared to morph in her hand. The sensation was weird, a mild tickle as it gurgled when she squished it. A giggle emitted from her as she played with it, swaying slightly as her soaked shoes mimicked the gurgling. Her tone was low, as if talking to herself thoughtfully, "Как выходит вода? How does the water come out?" All she knew was that the weird object was a fun thing to attack people with. A sly smirk appeared on her face as a thought crossed her mind.

But that would not be the only thing crossing past her.

A colored blur would graze her shoulder, her attention shifting to the sudden movement. Just fast enough to watch as a similar torture sphere exploded on the ground just up ahead. Her eyes widened slightly as it finally clicked in her mind, and a small ooo curled off her lips.

Boram had found her weapon for revenge.

She turned, planning on chasing Arno with the water grenade, a smile on her face. Completely unprepared to meet the glowing sight of the sun refracting through a watery attack. A gasp and a sharp hitch of her breath were heard, her shoulders tensing as the cool water splashed onto her face, trickling down her neck as the front of her hair stuck to her face. Boram coughed slightly, the cool wind pinched her face while she wiped her eyes with the back of her hands.

Я мог бы умереть! I could have died!

Could she have? No..

A few droplets trickled into her eyes as she opened them, looking toward the source of the deployed water strike. Her eyes narrowed as she saw an ever-so-smirking Arno, clearly proud of his well-executed ambush. The exploding water contraption in her hand gurgled softly as her grip on it tightened, a need to wipe the smug smirk off his face surged in her, "О, now you've asked for it..."

A sound that can only be described as a battle cry came out of her as she lunged at him, her hand pressing the balloon into his chest, not looking to see if it burst before running back to grab more ammunition. A wicked grin appeared across her face as she yelled, but not in anger, no; more in a determination that gave way to a challenging competition.

One she was sure she would come out victorious.

Boram laughed as she began to throw the spherical balls of doom at him, hoping he would not catch up to her soon, "Prepare to lose, Arnie!"

Amina’s voice rang across the field in an accompany of giggles, “Come on and get me then, Hänschen!”

He laughed at the nickname as he heard Amina call out, wiggling her eyebrows teasingly. Hans returned the gesture with a raised brow of his own, cutting her off with a raised voice as she began reciting the rhyme — where did she even hear of that? “Hänschen, how creative. Unfortunately it must be quite embarrassing to be beat by ‘little Hans’ mustn’t it.”

Well, said “Little Hans” must have been too occupied in his to and from banter with Amina to react as a water balloon whistled his way, yet, gratified that he had just spent the afternoon training, those honed racer instincts did the dirty work for his absent mind. Even if already being soaked from head to toe meant he could not have cared for a new attack, fleet legs were quick to dart out of the ghost child’s way, as he skipped out of the way of the attack’s brunt. They had to wait for another day for Semyon to beat him at this game or accuracy and evasion.

Amina also seemed to have luck on her side, or perhaps karma was just not playing along with them today. She certainly wasn't getting the fate she deserved after all the children she had terrorised with the weapon, as the water balloon that came sailing directly for his distracted upperclassman was dodged. "Let's get them?" He repeated. "Niemals! You're on your own little Minya!" And following that, he slung another water balloon at her.

The Astrid stood beside him, however, would not find her shot landing, and Amina must have learnt her lesson with a side step to the left, leaving the ballon sailing past her. Hans did not see who the stray projectile had nor did he bother to crane his neck as he heard a splash. It seemed to be the ghost child again — even if Semyon unnerved him, perhaps he should have joined into their mayhem (read: fun). That kid could use some loosening up and human interaction, especially anything not said through palm drawings or flowers. Even splashes of water seemed merciful in comparison.

Just as Astrid though, Hans seemed to have lost his good footing as the water balloon directed at his friend, evading easily by a tilt of that nimble frame. All the Quidditch players were as quick on their feet as they were in the air, but Hans’ good run of accuracy didn’t seem to carry on from the race tracks. He missed terribly, and watched as it sailed pass Astrid to splash on the ground only inches away from Boram, the lady who seemed to have just figured out what these balloons were for. Projectile weapons. With water inside. Exactly — the most genius idea Durmstrang had seen yet.

Amina had the time of her life. Countless years of reflex- and throwing practice finally paid off in this big water fight fun.
Still giggling she launched her water balloon at Semyon, the quiet small boy who she didn’t really know. But just before her projectile was hitting its target and force-including him into the fight, his wrist with the bright cup in its grip snapped in her direction, aiming for her co-organizer Hans who prepared his own attack near her too.
The water splashed between them and some of its stray splashes grazed her arms, adding onto the refreshment that Hans generously had piled onto her before. The tickle on her skin made her giggle even more and she was struggling to stay on her feet. At the same time her balloon splattered over the young boy's chest, not knocking the cup out of his hand, but still soaking a huge part of his shirt.
Stumbling to the side to pick up another weapon she just saw something colorful pass her back and flying towards the boy who she already had hit.
Whirling around she saw the girl almost at the same time as their words reached her ears. Amina’s grin widened and she saw another quidditch mate join their fun. ”Astrid! We would never exclude you! And you look awfully dry, let me change that for you!” The balloon was leaving her hand briefly after Hans’ attack, hoping to catch the blonde in the back to back fire.
”Looks like we are working for the same side after all!” She grinned at the sassy underclassman who so hastily refused her offer for alliance, just in time to see how clearly he was making a point that he wasn’t on one team with her. Friendly fire!

"Спасибо! Thanks!" The voice of the girl was a bit sharp, yet there was some ancient elegance to it, as if she had stood in front of a clear lake at one point to practice how she had to sound in order to get her point across easily, while staring into the water's surface mirroring her appearance. She reminded him of caterpillars, the kind that looked soft and fuzzy but could cause a reaction if touched. He would make note of that, later on, feeling as if she could be interesting to figure out.

He took a step back, giving her space as she began to reach for the spheres of water, not necessarily wanting to be hit with water quite so early into this interaction. He knew his sibling's enjoyment of this event would be much more apparent than his. To him at least, his sibling appeared to be quite expressive while only few people could get a read on him. He did not consider himself to be particularly inexpressive, but creatures were often blind to things that they did not understand immediately. Nor did they care to look what laid beneath the water's surface or question how shallow or deep a river ran.

Regardless of his desire to remain dry for a little while, he was soon hit and felt the water soak into the cloth of his dungarees. Which he found to be fine and refreshing. His gaze drifted to the girl who had attacked him, the one who had been the person to put this encounter together, he figured. After all she had been the one inviting everyone into joining. He gingerly reached for one of the balloons, the feeling of them weird but kind of reminiscent of handling a wet sponge with a rubbery texture. He knew his target and in the moment was fine with the idea of this being a risk of possibility.

And her balloon missed Amina. And her balloon hit Semyon in the shoulder. "Shit! My bad Senya!", she apologises lightly with a chuckle. Hans turned around at the girl's arrival, laughing with her. "I would never dream of that Astrid. But now you know don’t ya?" said the boy, throwing a balloon in her direction. Quidditch reflexes always present, Astrid easily avoided the impact. The balloon landed right next to Boram, the first year beater of the school's Quidditch team. "Learn how to aim.. Hänschen" she called out, using the nickname Amina had given him. She honestly wasn't in any place to call him out on his aiming skills since she had missed as well, but it was fun so she did it anyway.
The girl just had time to fill out another balloon before she heard Amina's voice not far from her. "Astrid! We would never exclude you! And you look awfully dry, let me change that for you!" Whether she got hit or not, she turned to the eldest and said "You know what Amina? We should just make an alliance against him." And then she threw the balloon she had in hand in Hans's direction. It was all fun and games, but it was also a competition to see who would be the driest at the end. And Astrid was determined to make Hans lose because, you know, they were friends.

MODERATION ROUND THREE
It seemed like the chaos was unfolding as quickly as the water of a bursting balloon splattered all over the floor. They all could dish and take it. No one was wasting time taking cover - maybe because the cold of the wet clothes and water on the skin was an actual relief from the dry heat that was pressing down on the castle.
Boram for one clearly decided that attacking was the best form of defending herself. Eager for taking revenge for the beautifully placed water splash, she grabbed one of those wabbly, funny balloons, ran towards her opponent and tried to press it into his chest.
Boram presses balloon against Arno

Boram auto fail (TP Arno [10]): 5 → no auto fail

Accuracy DC Boram [4]: 8-1 (Hans’ Charmer) + 11 = 18
→ Arno gets hit
The boy made no effort whatsoever to evade and her running ambush landed on his weak chest (0 strength). Solid like a rock he didn’t move an inch and with all her effort, the thin material would burst in her hand, not only soaking the few remaining dy inches on Arno’s shirt, but also splash over her own hands and arms, just when she jumped backwards to regain some distance.

Meanwhile, Amina worked up quite an opponent crowd since she was sharing the water so graciously among all the participants. There was a clear pattern in her target choices: Pick the one who is the driest, in this case the newcomer and her quidditch team mate, Astrid.
The balloon in her hand was released while talking.

Amina Accuracy [20+3 (MC) -1 (Hans’/Astrid’s Charmer)]: 12+22 = 34

Astrid Evasion [9]: 16+9 = 25

Although Astrid’s reflexes, which she had displayed so skillfully before, didn’t leave her this time, Amina’s two years of chaser practice made the difference. The blonde would take a quick sidestep, almost avoiding the attack, but just not quickly enough. Her shoulder still caught it and the impact made the balloon burst and darken the left side of her shirt.

The two other underclassmen were rushing to avenge her, both targeting Amina at the same time and putting her into a difficult spot between them. Like this, they’ve managed to get into a favourable position that would give them a clear advantage. Two balloons were launched towards her, one from the left and one from the right.

However, the girl couldn’t turn off her quidditch automisms, which she had hardly trained for her whole life. Seeing the movement out of her eyes, she’d quickly step out of the way, letting Hans’ projectile pass and slightly leaned back to also evade Semyon’s attack.
Like in a comic book, the balloons would find each other as a target, since the block in the middle was gone. They would hit each other right on the chest, now with Amina out of the way, facing each other, dripping in the sun.

Astrid wasn’t the one to hold grudges and rather took the opportunity to pile onto that. Making Hans lose the game by getting the wettest - that was her goal. Unfazed by the hit a few seconds ago, she suggested an alliance to Amina, singing it off with another attack on the young boy who had targeted her team mate.

Hans, who was still recovering from the unexpected stray hit by Semyon, saw it coming - the big red balloon flying towards his face. With a swift movement, he leaped out of the way, admirably nimble on his feet. However, the projectile still made an acquaintance with his right elbow, bursting and covering his leg in ice cold splashes.
