Take To the Sky PV Fin

Agata watched as the game continued, with Mahotokouro scoring two more goals. It was closer this round, with her teams keeper actually getting his head in the game. The head start by the Japanese team was unfortunate she lamented, but it wasn't all lost. The tides could be turned if their seeker found the snitch. Quidditch matches were known for that feat, and it was all that mattered in the end.

Agata flexed her fingers on the broom below her. Eyes ever vigilant, she watched her seeker to see if they were alright. Lucky she did because the seeker in question was taking herself out of the game and the new benched seeker coming into play. What had happened? She'd only glanced off to other players for a second. Agatas brows furrowed as she tried to think of what could have happened for the other girl to pull out. Had a rogue bludger knocked her? Something wrong with her broom? Not finding a logical answer to her question, Agata pursed her lips and continued her watch of the Uagadou and others team. She would be ready, she vowed, for anything else coming her teams way. They wouldn't lose another teammate.

ROUND 3

Team Mostly Mahoutokoro Snitch Find/Catch DC: 25+2(LC)=27 (wisdom) / 25+2(LC)=27 (accuracy)
Team Ugadou+Others Snitch Find/Catch DC: 25+2(LC)=27 (wisdom) / 25+2(LC)=27 (accuracy)

Chasers/Keepers:

Reducio

Agata is on save duty, as is Akira. Tigist is starfishing and sticking. Alan was quaffle grabbing, but failed to post.

Compared to the last round, the focus on the quaffle had disappeared in almost entirety. Tigist would be standing guard by the rings, doing his job as a keeper, but no quaffles would head in his direction. Akira had joined Agata in watching for any falling teammates, and unlike the previous rounds there would be.

Beaters/Blatchers:

Reducio

Initiative order: Sara (97), Mkhaku (89), Ginyami (74), Miharu (50), Ritsu (22), Botan (9)

Sara is bludgering Ying.
Sara CP (10): [d10: 9]
Ying evasive man. (10): [d10: 2]
Sara acc: [d20: 11] + 10 = 21
Ying eva: [d20: 6] + 9 = 15
Ying takes 15*75 = 1125 damage and is KOB!

Mkhaku is blatching Miharu.
Mkhaku CP (10): [d10: 5]
Miharu evasive man. (9-10): [d10: 6]
Miharu broom eva. (9-10): [d10: 8]
Mkhaku acc: [d20: 13] + 13 + 3 (Muggle Condition) -1 (charmer) = 28
Miharu eva: [d20: 13] + 10 = 23
Miharu is KOB!

Ritsu is blurting Ying.
Ritsu CP (10): [d10: 4]
Ritsu TP (10): [d10: 1]
Ying evasive man. (10): [d10: 1]
Ritsu acc: [d20: 16] + 12 + 2 = 30
Ying eva: [d20: 9] + 9 = 18
Ying is blurted and must repeat the chase phase!
Cheating DC is 6 (average wis) + 15 = 21
Ritsu wis: [d20: 16] + 3 = 19
Ritsu is caught and on a penalty lap!

It seemed as if a lot of Mostly Mahou were lined up, ready to take shots at Ying, however a lot of them wouldn't even need to try. Sara landed a hit (the first one of the game, yay!), and with his raw strength, it would send Ying tumbling from her broom, to be saved by Agata. Ritsu would continue on the offensive towards Ying, successfully managing to blurt. But Ugadou was also making some progress. Having just completed his own penalty lap, Mkhaku would go straight back to blatching, but this time be successful and send Mahou's seeker from their broom, to be caught by Akira.

"Again?" Pax sighed, with a raise of their eyebrow. "Mkhaku, get back on another penalty lap! And you too, Ritsu, don't think I didn't catch that!

Seekers:

Reducio

Catch DC for all is 25 + 2 (LC) = 27

Shamsi is snitchnipping and trying to catch the snitch.
Shamsi acc: [d20: 1] + 13 + 3 = 17
Shamsi does not catch the snitch!
Snitchnip cheating DC is 6 (average wis) + 10 = 16
Shamsi wis: [d20: 15] + 18 = 33
Shamsi isn't spotted!

Shamsi, having been so successful in his quaffle grabs the previous round, seemed to completely abandon those once more. Pax wasn't too sure what was up with this guy, but they wouldn't judge (at least too much).

Total RP Word Count: 227

Outcome

Sara hits Ying for 1125 damage, making her KOB.
Ritsu blurts Ying, and she must repeat her chase phase. He is on a penalty lap.
Ying is caught by Agata.
Mkhaku blatches Miharu and she is KOB. He is on a penalty lap.
Miharu is caught by Akira.

Note: Due to Namusobyia stepping down from the game through deactivation, it was decided and (I thought) communicated that Ying would resume from where she had left off, in her chase phase. I thought I had communicated this, so I apologise for any misunderstandings.

Less was happening. Botan was doing his best to keep his sharp eyes on the swift but speedy bludgers. Botan watched as his fellow beater on his team struck the first hit of the game. Sara [@Hanako Tone] happened to hit the blunger and make it fly right into [@Fang Hui-Ying]. Fang was knocked right off of their broom, and as Botan watched this happen, he cheered loudly. "Great job Sara!" He spoke in a voice loud enough that they could hear him.

Pax also sent two of the other teams members out on a penalty lap, witch made Botan smile. Disadvantage for them, he thought, and gripped his bat waiting to take a swing at any of the bludgers coming nearby.

Negative thoughts began rushing through his mind. Dude. You are the worst member of the team. You haven't done anything to help. Botan forced himself to stop thinking so negatively, and reminded himself that even though he wasn't doing much, that he was capable. And so was everyone else on the team. Including his cousin.

His team was leading, 70 to 0, which was actually pretty good. They just had to make sure that they would capture the snitch and then win the match.

Quidditch has always been full of actions and most of those are players trying to knock each other off of their brooms and that’s what’s been happening all throughout this entire game as of now. Everyone was out for blood.

Her eyes were on the opponent's Seeker more than the snitch once the other team had replaced their first string, observing her for a while but she had other things in mind during those times. Perhaps that had served as a distraction for she didn’t even notice that the same guy who had tried to blatch her earlier was trying again. Miharu caught movement from the corner of her eyes, a figure coming in close and it was already too late to react to it.

Mkhaku collided with her with a force that’s enough to catch her by surprise, grip on her broom loosening and before she knew it, she was already knocked off of it and found herself falling to the ground. Luckily for her though, one of her teammates had been alert on anyone falling off of their broom and grabbed her just before she could plummet to the ground. “Shimizu-senpai.” She can’t say that didn’t frighten her, her voice was shaky when she addressed her upperclassman but she quickly shook it off. There was no time to be afraid, the game is still ongoing. “Yes, I am alright, I can still play.” she assured him. She sent a glare towards who had just knocked her off as she repositioned herself on the broom of her savior.

At least the opponent Seeker had been successfully knocked off by Sara Kohana with a bludger. Now that one’s gotta hurt more.

Japanese & English

Just a moment ago he felt like it was nice to be in the side of minor chaos for once. WRONG. Dead wrong. Well, perhaps he would calm down his nerves after a while, but initially the events that transpired after their last set of actions made him eager to come back down and ..hug someone or something. He really wanted a hug, like… right now. He merely played the game as he used to, thinking that perhaps he would be lucky enough to have his aim off, but no. It actually hit it’s mark. He watched in absolute horror hidden behind his intense gaze as his target fell off her broom, as if he couldn’t believe any of it was happening. He was startled. This was the first time he ever took out anyone, and it looked like it hurt. He opened his mouth to say something but no voice came out. Sorry? My Apologies? Didn’t mean to hit you that hard until you fell off your broom? All that came out was a strangled grunt, minorly frustrated at himself.

As if it couldn’t be worse, someone else was taken out from his team and he winced, watched them drop off their brooms. In the midst of all the chaos and the stress in his head, a little called out saying he did a good job. It snapped him out of his frantic gaze as they gave them a glance. Despite his angry looking features, he weakly gave them a thumbs up, as if it was the hardest thing to do. But he still appreciated their words. It got him to get his focus back to his game. That’s right, the faster they finished this, the faster he could get back to the ground.

The playing gloves were off, and both teams were going all out, trying to foul or KO the Seeker from the other side. Man, Quid got real intense during moments like this, and he was so amped up to be right in the middle of the action. His Seeker instincts were firing off like crazy, like a runner ready to sprint from the starting line. And guess what? He'd already even spotted the Snitch!

Oh, he was so tempted to go for it, especially since Miharu-chii had her hands full with the other side. He hung in the air, looking around; he had to be slick about it; he couldn't let the ref or the other players catch him diving for the Snitch. That'd be a total bummer, and the whole play would be ruined.

So, what was the plan?

He needed someone else to take center stage and distract everyone. But it couldn't be Akira; even though he was putting on a brave face, he was secretly afraid of heights. And Sara-senpai was like a teddy bear, all soft and sweet. Aryaan didn't want to impose on him more than asking hi to hit bludgers at people. And Ritsu was busy doing punishment laps. Bummer!

But wait, there was still hope! Cue evil grin, 'cause Aryaan had a genius idea. He yelled out to Gin-senpai, "HEY, GIN-SENPAI! It's getting real boring back here at the hoops. These guys ain't even trying to contest the Quaffle. Wanna come up here and join in the REAL fun?"

Oh man, this was gonna be epic! The field was about to explode with action, and Aryaan was gonna be right in the heart of it all.

───────────────────────────────────

It took no time at all for the action to pick back up. And in this instance in particular, the violence expected of the game. Avery involuntarily flinched in sympathy as a bludger smacks into their new seeker just as the opposing seeker is de-broomed by another player. Now that's more like it.

Leg continuing the incessant bouncing in anticipation of the match ramping up, Avery can't help but be pleased that the game seems to be on a turning point. Even if only marginally so at this point. Though there was considerably less violence straight out of the gate, the game was somewhat reminiscent of the first match she'd ever played. While the score line hadn't been quite as bad, it had seemed as though all hope was lost before the win was snatched at the very last moment. That was the moment that had truly endeared her to the sport.

The Hufflepuff fidgets with her broom as she continues to watch with rapt attention. While she was no stranger to starting on the bench, she wanted nothing more than to zip up into the sky and help her team out. Ideally by helping redirect some of those killer bludgers. Training alongside Quinn had given her both a healthy fear and appreciation of just how much damage one of those suckers could dish out.

Zophyr was rather annoyed that this was his first real game of Quidditch. Would have been nice if it had been a little easier to win. Not that he was sure he was going to lose, but... well, they weren't exactly leading at the moment. He was planning on changing that, though. He wasn't one to give up. Things hadn't been going too amazingly so far, but some things had changed, and they might just have a chance.

Zophyr finished up his penalty lap and flew back into the game. Apparently his team's seeker wasn't doing too well. He hoped she was okay. "Alright, everyone. Let's get back on track, we've got this!" he encouraged. There was no way he was going to let the other team win. They were at a point where their luck could change.

The boy's thoughts were a bit all over the place. He'd just done a penalty lap, so he'd had a moment to himself, and that was enough to make him think about other things. There was that book he was reading, and the fact that Scotland was cold, and the summer camp that happened to be going on... but that wasn't important at the moment, he reminded himself. What was important was this game of quidditch he was playing in.
Gripping his broom in determination, he spun around a few times to get his head back into the game. He glanced at his teammates before concentrating himself. Thinking about other cool stuff was great and all, but it wasn't going to help them win. He had to focus.
