Quidditch Ilver & Castel v Mahouto & Beaux Summer Games

Roleplaying as Phylicia Stanwood

The game began, and Phyllis was off quickly to her hoops. This was her part of the field, and she was more than ready to defend it. Hovering in the air, she also took it upon herself to yell out some encouragement where she could spare the words; with her view of the field and loud voice, it seemed only fitting, though the rain might make it harder for her teammates to hear her.

Lucietta snagged the Quaffle first; off to a good start. Even better, she put the first points on the board. "Yeah, Luci!" The ball was then snagged by one of the enemy Seekers, and Phyllis quickly shifted from encouraging to serious, eyes focusing in on the red of the ball, the body language of her opponent. She followed where the Chaser was going, and for a moment they both had hold of the same ball, her opponent trying to force it into the hoops and Phyllis aiming for anywhere else. But then Phyllis had it wrestled away and tossed to the side. No easy goals.

Olive had it next, and damn, that was some nice broom work. Speeding away from everyone else, expertly choosing which hoop to go for, all just really good quick-thinking. She was loathe to agree with Plott on anything, but had to agree this time: that was flawless. "Olive! Let's go!"

It was somewhere in the next two goal attempts by Lucietta--who she would be hyping up so much if she could--that all the business with Quaffles and hoops kind of became the second thought. Good thing her team was keeping the ball away from the other team so she could slack on her Keeper duties for a moment and not cost them anything. Because it wasn't like she wanted to slack, but all of a sudden she had three bludgers on her and that wasn't something you could just play as normal through.

It didn't really register that it was three. Three was an insane number, a number that shouldn't even be possible during a normal seven vs seven match, and she was Keeper. It was almost always the Seekers and Beaters that drew the most fire. Needless to say, she hadn't been expecting it, and it might not have mattered either way. She dodged one. The rest hit: her side, her shoulder.

Her body swayed with the force, and it was with gritted teeth and a death grip on her broom shaft that she held on. The pitch blurred, definitely not just the rain in her eyes. Okay, um. Ow. It was sharp pain upon impact, and though already fading to a throb, she had no doubts the aching would stay with her for the rest of the match. Things were definitely bruised, hopefully not broken. "This is so great," she muttered as she wiped the rain-tear mixture out of her eyes and straightened with a wince. Well, clearly she was the most popular person out here. She was in pain, but because she was Phyllis, she gave a two-fingered salute to the first opposing Beater her eyes landed on.

With her situational awareness slowly returning, she noted that no one was on the ground. She was still up, and it looked like her team's bludgers had all missed. "You got this, Miles, Theo!" Yelling stung just a bit, but too bad, it was a necessary part of her contribution as a teammate. She wouldn't be stopping until she was passed out on the ground.

Kit didn't do much this round but then again, she was kind of used to that. She tended to help most when people were falling but if they weren't, it looked more like idley flying around the action of the quidditch game. Her team had gotten some good strikes in, but not any quaffles into the goal. Oh well, hopefully next round would turn out better on the chaser side. Otherwise, everyone else seemed to be doing alright. Cool!

El watching the game relentlessly. He cheered when some of the chasers from his side score a few goals but worried about their keeper Phylicia. He saw her take a few beatings from a bludger. Of course, she's strong enough to take a few beatings but if the other team keeps targetting her, El doesn't know how much more she can last. But of course, anytime Phylicia needs him to replace her as her understudy, which he is used to in his old high school play, El is totally ready. But surely, he won't, because Phylicia definitely can dodge those unruly attacks by the opponent Beater's! he thought while clutching tightly his broom on his side.

The game had started already, and wasn’t it just a doozy!

It spoke volumes that almost from the beginning of the game, the most impressive plays from the Mahoubeatons side came from his schoolmates. One of the French chasers was late to the sky, and the game had already started with two Chasers on their side to the opposite three.

Yamamura-san was performing great as a Chaser, outnumbered and outmanoeuvred as she was; but where were the other two? And their keeper, too, had their hands full. It made Aryaan want fidget like there were ants under his skin; itching to take off and get into the action. Sitting like this was so not him.

“You guys can do this,” he muttered absently, not noticing that the words came out in his native Hindi, and not in either Japanese or English.

And perhaps they could. Narumi, playful, lazy, hard-working Narumi was a demon on the field, his mere presence causing problems to the other team. And that hit-

Oof. Aryaan would not have focused all of their fire on one person – the Keeper, no less! – but his team had. And the Keeper seemed to take it like a Champ, in good stride. It should have warmed his heart, and motivated him. Pushed him forward to see such dedicated and motivated players, to remain in the air, and in good cheer, after clearly being the focus of three – THREE – beaters.

But it didn’t. It irked him. It Irked him to no end.

“COME ON GUYS!” He was shouting. Why was he shouting? Why was he angry? “KNOCK THEM RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR!”

Action: Warming benches.

Theo was feeling lucky, oh yes, he was. His left hand was clasping the broomstick tightly, the right hand swinging the beater's bat. The grin on his face as wide as always.
He would find that other token again later, surely, but now there was a new one tied around his broom, making his heart beat faster. Honestly, he hadn't expected it at all.

But tokens and feelings aside, there was a game to win now! When the game started, Theo looked around. No, he was not really a fan of hitting bludgers at anyone, but that was part of his position in the game. Also the others had signed up for it, so it wasn't as bad, was it?
Theo picked one of the other players, quite randomly and swung the bat at one of the two metal balls. Maybe it was because he couldn't turn off the thoughts in his head- people watching him knocking kids off of brooms, the mere thought!- but the bludger flew past the kid. Bad luck.

Doing as strategized.
Sta 10 | Eva 8 | Str 9 | Wis 8 | Arc 9 | Acc 11+4=15
The Muggle Condition | Calming Presence | Blindvision | Catch

Firebolt (+4 Accuracy)

In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself). ---------------

In the role of Beater, if an ALLY dodges a bludger during the round, there is a 20% chance that you catch that bludger with your bat and you send it at a RANDOM enemy target. ----------------------
