Closed Capture The Jolly Roger

Mentioning @Clair Fernandez as River Fayre
Open to Interactions

Starlee didn't quite know what to expect from this event, but by golly it was already looking to be quite the game. Starlee did as her captain told, and proceeded to make her way over to the ship of the Pink Parrots. She had been tasked with stealing a flag, but first she would need to make her way through what looked to be an obstacle course taken directly out of the show 'Wipeout.' It was this large spinning wheel, in which if you stood on the wrong spot, into the water you went. It would take a bit of logic to make it across, which was luckily something that Starlee had a lot of.

It ended up not being too difficult, and she maneuvered her way around the giant wheel, managing to stay above the water. Now that she had made it across, it was time to do the stealing. She would come across what appeared to be a foreign girl (@Clair Fernandez as River Fayre) who was guarding their flags. Starlee had an idea though, and she would slowly creep around the side of the girl, hugging the edge of the ship. It seemed Starlee had managed to stay out of sight, and she quickly swiped a flag that was right behind the girl. Easy peasy! Well, a lot easier than attacking, as she watched a foreign boy punch another student in the face to take a flag. Starlee much preferred the discreet route.

Florian was ready to put his skills to the test in this battle of capturing the flags. While he was irritated with himself at his performance in the swimming portion of the Triathlon, at least here he could be above water, at least unless he managed to fall. Which he wouldn't. That is what the boy was telling himself at least. Confidence everlasting.

His task this round was to go on the attack, specifically at the Pink Parrots. The obstacle to their ship was quite elaborate, a large spinning wheel that would dump one into the watery depths below if you stood in the incorrect spot. It ended up being easy peasy, and Florian would step up onto the boat, standing proud, his footsteps smacking loudly against the deck, making no effort to be stealthy.

He would take a moment to survey those on the boat, his eyes quickly and easily spotting a boy in bright pink. Florian sauntered quite cockily up to the boy, punched him in the gut, and, without saying a word, grabbed the flag behind him. He then turned to run his way back to his own ship, managing to navigate between the pirate dressed dummies quite easily. Was it the most eloquent way to get a flag? Probably not, but it had worked, and that put his team that much closer to winning.

For a while, it felt as if she couldn't feel her face. Ronnie called her cute and Lucky froze -- tuning most of the conversation out around her. He did that on purpose., she told herself -- wondering if he often said nice things to make girls blush. She had her pride though. Lucky refused to blush. Sure, her face felt hot but she refused to lift her hands to press against her skin. She turned away from Ronnie and pretended to be analyzing the ship they were supposed to swarm. It was better to focus on the game than a boy. When she heard the starting signal, Lucky immediately took off from the deck.

She was focused on the task at hand. Swarm the pink ship, get a flag, get out before it gets taken back. She kept repeating the refrain in her head and in no time, Lucky was at the obstacle -- carefully stepping onto the wheel. It was slow-moving and a bit eerie but she tackled it nonetheless. Lucky made measured but quick steps, hardly breathing until her tiny stature had cleared the obstacle. She lifted herself over a railing, hopping onto the ship's desk with a quick sweep of the space.

It was chaos. She wasn't the only one to climb aboard. Wasn't even the first. People were dodging one another, yelling, falling into the water. All she could do was what she told the team she would do. Steal. Lucky moved about the deck, spotting the base. She hadn't taken more than two steps in its direction before a tall, dark-haired boy seemed to spot her. He'd just taken a blow from her teammate that made Lucky wince.

He was bigger than her and Lucky knew if he got in front of her -- or even got his hands on her -- she'd meet a watery fate. The short brunette took a deep breath before quickly darting the rest of the way. She narrowly avoided him, only a few inches separated them but Lucky didn't allow herself to think of that. She threw herself at the base, dropping her hand inside, and grasping up a flag. She didn't even bother to check the color of it. She felt the fabric in her grasp and immediately dropped into a roll to get further away.

❛ Sorry! ❜, she apologized to the defender, knowing it had to suck that she had gotten past him. She was a tiny, skinny little thing. If he had caught her? He could have gotten rid of her easily. A little smirk of pride tilted her lips as she hopped over the same bannister from before and made her way through the wheel obstacle. She scurried her way back to the Coral Crossbones' ship, tucking the flag into her pocket to protect it. When she reached her home ship, Lucky jumped across the platforms, kicking off each so that it'd get her to the next. She made it through.

Lucky strolled across the ship's deck, gazing out at the Jolly Roger. It'd be a big win for their team if they got a few people over onto it. But could they do it? As Lucky moved to pull the flag from her pocket, tossing it into the team's base -- she noticed with a smile that it was indeed pink. Ten points to the Crossbones crew.

While waiting for the game to begin, Charles and Greta had a talk on their own. Once while Ronnie could be picked up the German that was being spoken between the two Dursmtrang pupils. And when Charles spoke to the Portuguese boy in Geman about how he was ready to destroy the other ship, Ronnie blinked his blue-grey eyes.

If Ronnie nodded his head, the blonde will know that Ronnie was capable and understood German. At the end, the Castelobruxo nodded his head, damned if Charles picked it up or not. Ronnie was standing on his base ship while strategizing in his mind. And when the bellowing voice came up above telling the participants the game begin, all hell break loose.

People started running from left and right. Most of his Deck mates were too. The young Ramírez allowed his other deck mates to run before him and he follow the other. The turning wheels that were set up as the obstacles to entering the Pink Parrots' ship come as a challenge but Ronnie passed the obstacles without breaking any sweat.

It seems not only his Deck mates that gunning for the pink ship but also the other players too. Aside from himself; Florian, Greta, Lucky, and Seven were the ones trying to steal the pink-color flag from the Pink Parrots' ship. The French boy (Florian) used a bruted force by hitting one of the Pink Parrots' defenders.

Normally, Ronnie did not condone such violence but if it is what it takes to win the game, Ronnie will let it slide. Using the chaos and the momentum that dawned on the Pink Parrots' ship, Ronnie dodged left, right, and pushed someone (River) aside. And with a reflex as quick as a lightning, the blue-grey eyes boy stole one of the Pink Parrot flags.

As he flee from the Pink Parrots' ship, from the distance he saw that his own ship, the Coral Crossbones was under attack and only Charles was the one that guarded it. Ronnie thought with how muscular Charles was, he could hit the opposing players easily like swatting a mosquito but the Castelobruxo student miscalculated it.

Never again the brunette-haired boy thought to himself as he ran back towards his home ship base. Just like the previous whereas he passed the obstacles of the Pink Parrots; ship like a breeze, when Ronnie surpassed his own ship' obstacle, it was also with ease. He then landed safely back to his home base ship.

And not long after that some of his Deck mates who also attacked the Pink Parrots' ship, were successful to obtained the pink-colored flag but some did not so much. "You okay there?,"He addressed both Greta and Seven who failed this round. "It was fine. Failing was not the end,"Ronnie smiled encouragingly to both.

To those who successfully obtained flags, Ronnie patted Florian's shoulder and share a brief yet warm hug with Lucky. "How was the defend, amor? love"Inquired Ronnie to the only defender for this round which is Charles. "Can you defend our base alone or do you need some help with that?"Ronnie asked Charles in French and send a playful wink at the Durmstrang' Chaser.

"I dunno... Golden things are pretty tempting..." Serena half-joked as she allowed her to gaze to flutter to the beautiful golden flag, "Though I do agree that we need a strong defence." She continued with a firm nod. In truth, she was not sure if she would be better at being on defence or trying to go after a flag. However, she was here just to have fun rather than win.

When it seemed like a few others had volunteered for defence, Serena opted for going after a flag, "I'll go for a flag over... there, I think," She randomly pointed to a ship deciding to go for it. It turned out to be the Sapphire Swashbuckler's team ship. All she knew was that there was a plank that looked like she could probably get passed. Serena made her way to the thin plank, quickly trying to move through it. Her movements were graceful, surprisingly, as she dodged past the dummies that were trying to swing back and forth towards her.

Making it to the ship, she managed to distract their defender in order to steal a flag and quickly made her way back towards her own ship. Serena returned to her ship, "Here's another one, from uhhh Sapphire," She told them as she placed the flag down on their own ship.

With that, she looked around. Was it time to defend or go for another flag? Perhaps the Golden Flag this time? Defending did look quite appealing though... "Right, what's next?" She asked her team, wondering if they had any strategy that they wanted her to be a part of. If not, she would act on her own and make a decision.

After talking to several players, I have made the executive decision to extend the deadline for everybody until Monday 15th August, 12pm EST. That allows a day and a half (roughly) for people to post.

Well this had gone exactly as poorly as Bubba expected. He had been placed on defense and he had tried his utmost to channel his inner Ray Lewis and protect this house. He... had not been successful. He, Evelynn, and River had just set themselves up on defense when they were surrounded by attackers. There were oh so many of them. Bedlam had quickly ensued and it was all a symphony of sound and fury. Nine people... NINE PEOPLE. Had the Pink Parrots announced a firesale on flags? Had he missed this in the team meeting? He was doing everything he could but everything happened so fast.

Amidst all the bedlam, he had caught sight of Greta. She was going toe to toe River. Bubba once again got the strange feeling in the pit of his stomach that seemed to only arise when he saw Greta. He wished he understood what it was about because it was really distracting in the midst of the game. He half wished he could've been defending against her, but he quickly dismissed the thought, he was more likely to just embarrass himself in front of her than do anything else. At the end of the fracas, he saw Greta get hit and felt the sudden urge to make sure she was okay but snapped out of it. Sadly, he hadn't done so quickly enough because, in that time, he found himself face to face with a couple of people and almost stopped one of them but, sadly, they had managed to bamboozle him while his mind was awash with these strange thoughts.

All Bubba could do was dust himself and prepare for the next round. Surely only this could go better.

Hogwarts... so this girl here was a Brit. Cielle didn't know much about the Scottish school, or even Britain in general. Sure, she travelled a lot with the circus, but it was mostly just in the Scandinavian countries and Russia that they worked in, not the UK. She briefly wondered if they served tea and crumpets at Hogwarts. "Yeah, that's annoying," she said in response to the wands thing, although she actually didn't really agree. Cielle's wandwork was atrocious; she was honestly more likely to hit herself rather than an opponent when casting a spell. It was safe to say that she was MUCH better at fighting people physically, and she was hoping that this game would play to her strengths.

Sadly, this wasn't the case, because literally as soon as she tried to steal a flag for her team, she fell off the stupid giant wheel and into the water. "Aaaaaaaaaa-" And down she went, tumbling over the side. It was said that Cielle always landed on her feet like a cat, but cats hated water, and right now she was no different. She almost accidentally swallowed a mouthful of water as she crashed into the water, and with an annoyed groan, she hauled herself out of the water, now soaking wet.
