First Annual Alumni Broom Race
“Serena!” Howard gladly accepted her hug and would lift the little goblin up into a bear hug of his own. When he had gotten word of this club he was very much hoping that some of his friends from school would join. Serena meant the world to him, so to have her here made it feel just like old times. A chance to fly and he got to hang with one of his best friends? Could it get any better!
Then Howard’s crimson gaze fell to Serena’s brother. Of course that overgrown turd had to show up here. Howard only offered a middle finger for the brute and tried his best to ignore him. “I’m good…” He began to answer before they both looked down to the ancient school broom in his hand. “What?! I sold my silver arrow. I needed the coin, girl!” The year spent at Tatiana’s had been slim pickings!
“How the hell am I supposed to ride that?” Howard accepted the damn tree that Serena pulled out of her trunk. He had seen them before, but he much preferred the slim and sleek models. “Thank you.” He said with all teasing aside. “Let’s do this!” With that Howard would line up and get ready to go.
Quidditch had been his love and passion during school and he still kept up with the leagues even today. So, when it came to broom racing Howard knew the basics, but not much else. When in doubt, fly like a bat outta hell! Holding on the the magically imbued tree, the young man tore off through the air. He barely felt whatever obstacle smacked him around as he got used to the oversized broom. So far things were going ok. Howard would turn and see what his team needed.

Cyrus, her fellow American, introduced himself with a smile that Ami couldn't help but immediately trust with her life. He seemed eager and ready to go, which always boded well. Xailah, on the other hand, Ami decided to give a wide berth, and then veer even wider. That girl gave her the heebie-jeebies in a way no one else had quite managed to do, and she had enough self-preservation instincts to know to watch her mouth. Koko's expression was unreadable as always, and Ami quickly tore her eyes away from her to look at her other two teammates, who were mysterious enigmas at worst and potential new friends at best. She nodded solemnly at Bridget's simple "good luck", focusing in on the track. She did her best to ignore Cazares's slimy, cold stare, and took off as the race started.
As they had planned, Ami quickly surged forward to grab Koko's broom, spinning swiftly on her own rickety borrowed broom (no way in hell she was putting her actual broom on the line with the Whomping Willow looming) before launching her as hard as she could, her core tensing as she attempted to transfer as much torque as she could into the throw. To her satisfaction, Koko flew forward quite a respectable distance ("See ya, have fun!"), but she would not be allowed long to bask in her success as she suddenly felt herself jolted upwards.
Her hands finding the comforting wood of her broom to steady herself, Ami took a deep breath as she was catapulted into the air. Cyrus mentioned something about Big Bird (which frankly, she was a little too out-of-breath to fully understand; what on earth about being up in the air made him feel yellow and feathery?), and Ami called out a quick "Thanks, Collins!" to Bridget down below.
"Alright, time to lock in," she muttered to herself, readjusting her perch and grip on her broom as she surveyed her teammates and the track set before them. They had planned for this, sure, but now it was time to see if their strategy would actually pay off.

First Annual Alumni Broom Race
Doing anything other than casting a spell first thing in an organized sport felt wrong. Not spell spreading that spell seemed even more alien to Galton. Habits were hard to kill off, even if the sport was an entirely different beast than the one he knew. Those carefully curated habits would even translate into his spell selection. Never one to capable of packing a real punch with his magic, he'd take the role of support like he'd done so many times before.
It was fitting that the only person to reply to his butter beer proposal would be the one to ascend with him (and Ami). As they shot upwards Galton was faced with the reality that he had never actually flown this high before. He had never truly considered if he was scared of heights. Like really high heights. An now was certainly not the time to come to such a realization. A switch would be flicked in his head. He was Galton the Glorious, he was capable of anything. Heights meant little to him. The rapidly rising trio of Galton the Glorius, Ami the Able and Cyrus the Courageous was going to conquer the course. He was for sure not scared of heights.
As he gripped his broom readying his next move Cyrus' words snapped his attention out of his affirmations. He did not know what "lit" meant in the given context. He would look over the boys broom and raise an eyebrow. "Wait, I didn't hear an incendio or lumos - are you okay Cyrus?

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────Samuel had not joined this little spectacle of a game with any pretense of competitiveness present in him. The outcome of the game mattered very little to him; there was no great glory in sweeping across a pitch under the guise of play. His presence was born of convenience, a diversion at best, and perhaps an opportunity to observe familiar faces in an unfamiliar context. Still, when the opportunity presented itself, he did not hesitate to pull the broom from beneath Bridget Collins. The motion was clean, almost surgical that personified most of his actions, resulting in a slight collapse from his former student. Drawing precisely the reaction he had expected. Ruckus' laughter rippled, as Samuel, against his usual inclinations, allowed himself a low chuckle of his own.
A fleeting indulgence, nothing more.
He moved on without further pause, broom angled forward with the same composure as he brought to his classroom. The other, some clearly trained and far more invested than him, threw themselves into the fray with an earnestness bordering on desperation. It was of no concern to him. Whether either of the teams fell short or claimed victory, was inconsequential to him. He neither admired nor resented their efforts, simply catalogued their behaviours and carried on.

ABILITY
Reducio
Speed-Dodge: The racer can elect to auto-dodge any attack. This is not an action, but an ability. Racers can use any other actions while using this ability. Must be declared in submitted actions to activate.
Note: If an opponent successfully targets the racer with an auto-hit ability or skill, a contested roll is done as if neither ability was being used. If two or more players successfully target the rascer, then one of the attacks will be chosen at random to be dodged. Attempted spells that do not pass their wisdom DC are not counted as a successful attack.
This effect has a 3 round cooldown. (e.g., if they use it in round 1, then they cannot use it again until round 4).
Alley-Oop: Normally during an alley-oop manuever, the thrower must remain still to gain enough momentum to throw their ally. Due to the cutting-edge design of the Starsweeper XXI, the racer may move while throwing another player. The racer may not perform any other action during an alley-oop, and their movement speed will be halved.

*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*Xailah said that she had been doing better than well and Ruby smiled warmly. “I’m so glad to hear that.” She then asked about talking afterwards if Ruby had the time to spare and the now former Slytherin nodded. “For you? Always. I’m in no rush.” "Mercy has no place in this sport, miss Cazares; however, I suppose I could be swayed to maim you gently." Ruby laughed. “Good enough.” "But be warned, my team may not be so easily convinced." The words made Ruby’s gaze slide back to her other opponents—back to Procoppio. There was something inside her that constantly thirsted for violence, and the presence of those she disliked only made it worse, almost overwhelming…
She redirected her attention to her friend, her expression unintentionally colder than before, although it clearly wasn’t intended for Xailah. “Well, I’ll see you after the race, then?” She smiled, but it didn’t fully reach her eyes. After a small wave, she turned back to the starting line, preparing for the race to begin. Once it started, she tried to send a spell Procoppio’s way, but, somehow, the other girl was already gone, flying up instead of progressing along the track. That was kind of an odd choice to Ruby, and frustrating for the reason that her spell was now rendered useless, but she kept moving and, with relative ease, managed to evade the Whomping Willow that she encountered.Action: As strategised | Mentions: @Xailah Alptraum-Leveret, @Ami ProcoppioReducioStats: Stamina: 10 | Evasion: 14 | Strength: 5 | Wisdom: 17 | Arcane Power: 12 | Accuracy: 17

First Annual Alumni Broom Race
Lavinia was exceptionally late. The Alumni Broom Race was put on her calendar weeks ago when she was sent the date, but with the chaos of moving and living by herself for the first time, Lavinia had completely forgotten. She was in the middle of eating a later lunch at her new flat when her wand notified her of the event on her calendar set to start in 15 minutes. Immediately Lavinia focused on just finishing her lunch while wondering what the event was. It took a few bites for her to realize that she needed to get ready immediately and leave for London.
In a flurry of magic and running, Lavinia put on her racing outfit, grabbed her broom, and packaged up her lunch to take. She was living in the Isle of Skye for her new position as a Second-String Chaser on the Pride of Portree which was going fantastic. However, she was the furthest possible she could be from London at a thousand kilometers. To make matters worse, she didn't even have a fire place to floo with. Lavinia had yet to think of how to travel to London and only knew there was a floo at the Pride of Portree training grounds. It was close enough for her to apparate to which she immediately grabbed her wand and did.
Arriving at the training grounds, Lavinia ran around to find the floo without fully knowing where it was. After losing a few more minutes, Lavinia found the floo and stood in it, flooing to London Quidditch Stadium. It was a long floo ride that she spent wondering who would even be at this alumni event and if she even counted as one. Lavinia had only graduated a month before and wasn't sure how she was eligible to come back for an alumni event. Regardless, Lavinia reached the stadium floo with enough time to hear the whistle to start the game. She wasn't just late, she would be starting after all of her teammates.
Immediately, Lavinia ran out of the floo and found the entrance to the field for the broom race. She saw a paper with the names of the teams and was happy to find herself playing with Arjan who was an internationally renowned athlete. The rest of the names on the sheet were all people she knew, including a potions professor, and fellow quidditch players. Identifying where the starting line was, Lavinia saw Ruckus was flying there and shouted "So sorry for being late sir!" before transfiguring her broom back, mounting it, and flying off to start the race.

A note to all players: The word count minimum is 200 words. The next deadline to post and submit strategy is 168 hours from the time this is posted. If you believe a mistake has been made in the calculations of this round, please reach out to @Ruckus Weems ASAP so it can be addressed promptly.

Just a quick announcement I forgot to make during Round 1: Each player is allowed to use four doses of any potions. Can be all the same or all different, just a max of four for the whole game.
A large part of the Lucky Duck's strategy seemed to rely on Miss Procoppio throwing her teammates at high speeds. In this case, Mr. Lansdale was already high above the course with her—Ruckus watched in awe as the young man flashed in a long arc over many of the obstacles.

"Mr. Oberoi winds up to throw something at Miss Procoppio—a rock, a stick—Oh, oh dear." The young woman was flung from the air and landed with a thud on the ground. She wasn't moving. Ruckus motioned for the standing-by @Dusana Sabo to take care of her, and he turned his attention back to the game knowing she was in good hands.

· · ─────── · 𖢨 · ─────── · ·Koko centred her gaze ahead of her as she continued to hurtle forward at speeds she'd never anticipated during Quidditch games. She much enjoyed the feeling of wind against her face—less so, the trepidation that filled her every time an obstacle came rushing towards her faster than she thought she could dodge. She was moving too quickly to trust herself to glance backwards, so she remained largely in the dark about what her team—and the other team—were doing behind her.
Mr Weems's announcements went in one ear and out the other. She heard Ruby's and Ami's surnames and hoped all was well, even if that sentiment quickly left her with regard to Ruby. Despite their friendship, this was war. It wasn't as if Koko would gloat should the Lucky Ducks win, but she also did not stand to lose.
She got into the groove of zooming. The heat barely bothered her, and she surged forward, finally beginning to think that maybe broom racing was pretty fun after all. However, she got a bit too focused on just going through the motions, and the moment she felt a squid's tentacles around her, a series of swear words fell out of her mouth as she realised her predicament.

Cyrus turned to Galton, confusion etched all over his features. 'Uh, yeah? You know, lit, like, that party was lit? Like, totally rad? Wicked? Cool?' His words rushed together as he scrambled for ways to describe the meaning of lit, all the while wondering if it was just a wizarding thing or if it was a British thing, or both, to not know what slang meant.
He would then proceed to 'lock in', as the youths would call it, on the race at hand. 'Relashio!' he exclaimed, and he was pleased to see the spell work on the young professor's broom below him. He grinned, but his grin quickly turned into a horrified O (a la Edvard Munch's The Scream) as he, too, began to plummet towards the ground, from a much greater height than the more stoic man had. Cyrus let out a strangled wail and tucked his knees in towards his chest, now more grateful for the kickboxing training of his youth when he stopped, dropped and rolled to minimise the force of the impact.
'Dude, what the freak?' he muttered, searching around for whichever person had done that to him. Yeah, yeah, karma and all, but like, really, he'd been so high in the air. There was a reason he didn't like heights, and this was it. He vaguely heard Miss Cazares, but since he didn't know who that was, there was no one to complain to afterwards. 'I can't believe you've done this,' he said sadly as he stood and dusted off his trousers, staring sadly at the scratches on his legs. Yikes. He'd need some bruise removal paste later.
His horror only intensified when he noticed what had happened to Ami. 'Good golly goose, that other team's just got it out for us, haven't they!?' He turned to Bridget and offered her a shaky, hesitant smile. 'But you're gonna do great. I hope they don't pull any more mean tricks on you.'

Stats without broom:Description: This slender Scots Pine would make a fine Christmas Tree but this tree was modified with purpose. A metallic framed seat complete with windshield and stirrups has been added at the back serving as the tree's counterweight. This sturdy, reliable tree will definitely get the job done.
Prerequisite: 6th year or later
Stats: +3 to all stats
Speed: Top Speed is 6, however when you reach a speed of 6 this increases to a 10% chance that you will auto miss (with anything requiring an accuracy roll) and you will be auto-hit (with anything requiring a dodge roll).
Ability: Immune to Broken Broomshaft. Has an increased capacity. Can carry 4 people. If the driver has the saviour ability and they use the Return to Broom action, they can return two people in a round rather than just one. May attach a compass.
