Durmstrang-Koldovstoretz vs Mahoutokoro-Castelobruxo iNPC Quidditch 2025

After almost tearing up during Val's speech, and entering the stadium as the dragon Zmey with the rest of her team, Astrid flew back to the ground with the rest of the second string, and the game started. They hadn't played against Mahoutokoro or Castelobruxo in the past, but the girl knew that some players knew each other from other social events, which could be helpful during the game.
Felix and Astrid started talking strategy as the first string players got into action. The girl facepalmed when she heard the scores, but she cheered and clapped her hands as two Mahoutokoro students were kicked off their brooms.

Win or lose, today's match was something Kazi would not forget anytime soon. The theatrics behind his team's entrance matched the flair for the dramatic that had come to define his life so far. The boy was one for bright colors, strong emotions and a showmanship that was on full display as the team soared through the air. When the show came to an end, Kazi would remain quiet as Valentine gave the speech of a lifetime to his longtime teammates. The boy was in awe of how strongly each one of them felt for the sport and each other. He hoped that one day he too could be a part of something so special. Though he did not know these contestants well, his cheeks would shine as he got caught up in the emotion of it all. "YAY!!" Kazimir bellowed in cheers as the huddle came to an end and his team soared back into the air.

Soon enough the match would be underway and Kazi would take his place by the bench. The energy of the day and his own adrenaline made sitting impossible as he began to pace back and forth, his eyes glued to the action in the sky above. He would whoop and shout as the organized chaos that was quidditch began to unfold! Both teams would strike, but it would seem that the Durmstrang starters carried just a slight advantage. Then he would remember that he was supposed to be preparing himself! Kazi's giant hands plunged into his pocket and removed the bag of mixed nuts that he had been given earlier. Fuel for his mighty conquest!

Kazimir would begin to throw them up into the air, catching most of them in his wide mouth and smashing them with his enlarge teeth. The joy of this sacred sport coursed through him like life-force itself and the boy broke into chant!

"Fly! Fight! Give it all your might!
Seek! Score! Together we will war!
Swing! Deploy! Your bludgers will destroy!
Now! It begins! We rally for the win!"

The game didn't seem to start out so badly for Mahoutokoro and Castelobruxo. Ginyami's Midori's determination to do well shone bright as she temporarily strayed from her team's goalposts to play chaser for a bit and try to score a few goals of her own. Once, the opposing keeper managed to catch the quaffle and tried to kick it back at her, but Ginyami Midori managed to dodge that attack.

Perhaps thanks to the cheering of Akihiko and Jamie, Ginyami's Midori's attempts to score goals were overall successful. In fact, of the five times she attempted to score, four of them made it through with the exception being the one time the quaffle was kicked back by the other keeper. She waved to Akihiko and Jamie in gratitude and acknowledgement. Things seemed to be looking up for the Mahoutokoro-Castelobruxo, but the Japanese keeper knew well that a few points scored from goals would mean nothing if the other team caught the snitch first.

She looked up and shaded her eyes to try to see if she could spot the seekers and see them she did. Valentin and Miharu both appeared to have caught sight of the snitch and were off after it. Ginyami Midori bit her lip with concern. Miharu was fast, but she was still young and inexperienced compared to Valentin. It seemed like she would need help if she was to get to it before him.

While that was happening, however, a rush of motion caught Ginyami's Midori's eye and she just managed to witness Sara and Tone fly past before she saw Tone get hit by a bludger. Was this déjà vu? History seemed to start to repeat itself from the previous mock quidditch game as Tone was knocked off his broom and reached the ground before he was caught. It was only the start of the game, too. Just like last time. And last time, Ginyami had been knocked off his broom around the same time Tone had, which boded ill.

Though Sara and Tone had attempted to hit the bludger toward a Durmstrang chaser, they missed, causing a beater from the opposing team to hit it back at Tone. The Durmstrang chaser they had missed ended up going after Ginyami Midori, trying to blatch her and succeeding in his atttempt. Midori was knocked off her broom along with Tone. Just like Ginyami had along with Tone during their previous mock quidditch match. It was like that match had been prophetic of this one, she thought, as she fell with no one to catch her the same way Ginyami had.

Just as the Mahoutokoro keeper had played chaser for a bit, three chasers - two on the other team and one on her own - seemed to have wanted to play blatchers. Two had targeted Ginyami's Midori's team with their blatching. The other two players who had been knocked off their brooms were saved, as they had been priorities, and Ginyami Midori understood. After all, what did a keeper matter when points scored with a quaffle were so few compared to points scored with a snitch?

Still, her spirits wilted with disappointment as she fell to the ground, though not so hard that she injured herself. At least not physically. Just like Ginyami the previous match. Silently, she apologized to her teammates for letting them down and wished them well for the rest of the game. They still had a chance of winning, after all, however slim it might have been.

There was a benched seeker that Ginyami Midori heard cheering and clapping as she and Tone had fallen to the ground. She would remember that one, she thought, just as she would remember the chaser who knocked her off her broom. Then she got up from the earth, dusted herself off, and walked off the pitch.

- In the role of Keeper when you attempt to block your goal, if your opponent somehow has advantage on attempting to score a goal, that is negated (they only have their normal single roll against you).

- In the role of Keeper a critical success on an attempt to block a goal not only means that the Keeper caught the quaffle but they have also successfully passed the quaffle (without a chance of interception) to an allied target of their choice. A critical failure in this case cannot happen for a Keeper, they get to re-roll the attempt to block.

Note: Critical failure and critical success chances can be expanded with certain abilities and skills.

- In the role of Keeper, if the Keeper effectively blocks an attempt to score rather than obtain possession of the quaffle they can kick the quaffle at the user who attempted to score. This must be declared at the time actions are submitted. This would have damage like a bludger using an accuracy roll to hit and the user's strength score to determine the amount of damage done. If the quaffle hits or misses the target, a quafflegrab the next round would be necessary to determine which team has possession of the quaffle again.

OOC Note: Midori Hikari is Ginyami Midorimori presenting as female.

He hadn't been ready. Unsure whether it was a biological disadvantage due to age or a lacking amount of skill that would disallow him from keeping the quaffles outside of their hoops, but a majority of them went through despite his active attempts to fly fast and shield them. He was not being a reliable worker bee and perhaps that was because he was meant to not be that. His true calling was that of a dragonfly, chasing after a prey with an unmatched hunting success rate.

Alas he was here now. One moment he found himself in the air, attached to his broom and within the next an angry hornet buzzed in, crashing into his side with a force that released his grip onto his broom handle. Sadly, he was not capable of flight without that tool and with an almost peaceful expression, he dove towards the ground. His calm exterior, betrayed by the adrenaline beating through his heart as he watched the ground approach, closing his eyes as if he were accepting his fate, simple as that. However the face of the hornet @Kanae Suzuki burned behind his eyes, engraved in his mind.

It however just happened that this was not his end yet, as he was plucked out of his fall and dragged onto the broom of another. A girl. A girl he recognized fairly fast as his eyes opened. Through the rough stop of his fall when being caught, a few daffodils that had previously adorned his hair, shook themselves free from his strands and continued their fall even as he, now, remained afloat on another's broom @Margarethe Fransson.

"I've got you!" She had uttered, once she had caught him and, Semyon's hands went to touch the broom handle to keep himself from simply slipping off the object again. Where her fingers had curled around his upper arm. He could still feel the pressure of her fingers even after she had let go off him, an almost unpleasant tingle at the sudden and abrupt touch. However also quite necessary if he had not wished to have this be a quite short match for him.

"You alright?" He stared back into her eyes, almost eerily so as his face betrayed none of his thoughts or emotions to her. He just blinked slowly back at her, though no word truly left him as his lips pressed together tightly and he gave a miniscule nod, that could have easily been mistaken as simply adjusting his position on the broom. However is she was expecting any kind of verbal feedback, she would be waiting for a long time.

With only one wry grin towards Arno, Valentin conveyed a heartfelt gratitude and confidence that could seem more like a glow than a facial expression. Although Arno was one of the newest on the team, it would have been clear in the days approaching the match that the captain was entering some ethereal state that was even more intense than usual. In fact, anyone who really knew him could have easily noticed it. These days it was like Valentin was a white balloon released from the hand of a child – rising higher and higher. Certainly this was how he was flying now, taking an almost vertical angle to gain elevation… and in the gut of the empaths, several would feel it. Something was wrong. Valentin wasn’t looking up at the sky, but down, down into the stands. Then, once he finally raised his head once more, it was as if he didn’t even have to look for the snitch. He immediately locked his eyes upon the golden flicker, too eerily, as if he could sense its presence through an out-of-body experience. Some fans would notice this from his icy gaze in an odd camera angle or two. Yet, who could explain such a moment? Was this simply what the effortlessness of expertise looked like, or was this something dangerously transcendent? This strange, frigid peace – was it the calm of a gathering storm? At this instant, onlookers were left only puzzle pieces.

This is a placeholder post because I need to get on an airplane. I intend to write a fuller response soon. Apologies for any inconvenience. There will be more content! He has things to say about many of your characters!

Still being unusually overwhelmed by sentimental emotions, Amina was grateful for the collective headbump delivered by Mad. She squeezed her fellow chasers one more time before taking her position at one of the heads of the giant dragon. Val’s speech had almost brought her to tears, but not was the time to do battle. Gripping her pole even harder, she mounted her broom, glancing at the blue sky, the sparkle of adventure in her eyes. ”Here we come...” After all, it was their last dance. Time to make sure everyone remembered their names, even decades after they were gone.

As soon as everyone was in the air and the quaffle was released, Amina pushed her Oakshaft in a steep curve, leaving the formation she had formed with her team mates. The wind brushed some loose strands of her red hair from her face and for a moment she felt free and weightless. She really couldn’t understand how some people didn’t like to fly. For a moment, she wondered if Evelyn ever took the broom out or if she abandoned flying altogether.
But Amina didn’t let her thoughts wander off too far. She didn’t focus on her team mates - they most likely were already off doing what they agreed on and succeeding in it. Gripping her broom tighter she tried to ignore the chaser anxiety that rose in her because no one of them was going for the quaffle. Sometimes the chasers were also the best warriors and saviors.

Ducking out of her curve, she found the target she had been looking for. Like a panther going for its prey, Amina took a wide circle over Tone and then suddenly came down on them. They saw her coming, maybe, tried to dodge, but Amina tackled them with a very forceful shoulder check and sent them right down towards the ground. ”Oopsies!!!” Overcorrecting the impact by balancing out in the other direction, the Durmstrang did a graceful loop, but apparently her trick hasn’t gone unnoticed.
A sharp announcement called her out and sent her to a penalty lab. Pulling a Mad, she raised her arms in unbelieving rebellion. ”Come on! They clearly were in my way…”
Accepting her fate nevertheless, she started to do her familiar extra round. Scanning the field she saw that most of their team was still on their brooms, Greta sharing one with Semyon. ”Come on…” This time, the grunt was just for herself as she leaned down on her broom to get some extra speed for joining back into the game.

——The start of the match was brutal... But wasn't it always? The opposing team fell from the sky, just the type of rain he liked. Felix felt his heart flutter with pride as he watched Greta swoop in just in time to save Semyon. He still thought the kid was creepy but at least he wasn't going to be ground mush.

The game started and Miharu had to snap herself out from all her thoughts and daydreams and get her head back into the game. She gritted her teeth as she zoomed in to find a spot where she could get a better view of the playing field. While keeping her eye on the snitch, the things happening to the rest of her team had most of her attention.

Tone Bakugou couldn't just get a break. Something similar happened last summer games where he was the first one to go down. The same thing happened during the practice match and history repeats itself once more as he found himself plummeting to the ground with no one around to catch him.

Their Keeper… hold on, what was her name again? That strange lady who suddenly appeared and took Ginyami Midorimori's place in their current and his place in their tent as well. She has skills, she gives her that with how she had ramped up that score.

“There's no time for this.” Miharu uttered. As much as she wanted to see how the rest of her teammates are doing, she has a job to do and with her against a more experienced Seeker, she had to work harder than before. She scanned around, looking from left to right, catching glimpses of more people falling from their broom and while she wished that they weren't her teammates… they were and the lady, Midori Hikari, was one of them.

Miharu bit her lip as she continued her search until that glint of gold caught her attention. There it was, the snitch. That was easier to locate than what she had expected and she was grateful for that. That means she could still keep up despite the lack of practice. Catching it, however, is another story and it scares her. What could she even do against an older and more powerful player?

No, she can't keep thinking like that now, can she?

Agata looked around the pitch and cringed internally. It wasn't going as well as she had hoped. Durmstrang were the team to beat. Agata still had hope that her new team would make it out alive. They just had to be a bit more lucky from now on. Agata gripped her broom a bit tighter, soaring into the air for the next play.
