Durmstrang v. Mahoutokoro & Beauxbatons Broom Racing Summer Games 2022

interacts Yefim Rumyantsev & Cielle Johansen mentions Beauxbatons/Mahoutokoro team

As Maximilien "Maxi" de Fostoncy [x] English · #586d9d | French · #056b68

Maxi kicked off as soon as the game started, and raced forward as fast as he could, while keeping an eye out for possible attacks and obstacles. The first unit - ah, Bundimun. His eyes caught a glimpse of it, and he was quickly on the alert. Doing his best he dodged it’s attack, the corrosive came close yet he still went out of its way. Having no time to check on his teammates or opponents, he rushed forward while drawing his wand out. One, two, three -

NOW.

A Flipendo fired off, the spell splitting into two and jumping over to two Durmstrang players. Maxi squinted and tried his best to locate the spell’s destination. Rumyanstev was hit, yet Johansen dodged the last second - disappointing really, but good enough already. Nodding approvingly to himself, Maxi gripped his broom handle and was ready for his next act.

Between the flashes of exploding sparklers, Raphael shot forward, low on his broom. He'd have shaken his head at the flashy display under different circumstances - was that really necessary? It seemed only distracting to him - but for he moment, his full attention was on trying to spot the... where was it... ah, there, the Bundimun. The nasty little beast had been around for the previous races as well, and Raph swerved narrowly around the attack, eyes already looking toward the rest of the course.

Most other racers were not as nimble, most getting sprayed with the creature's corrosive acid, but Raph barely had a glance or thought to spare, instead willing his broom to be faster. While they shot towards the section of the race where the track disappeared into some sort of cave, two of the Durmstrang racers seemed, impossibly, to slowly pull ahead of the group, and Raphael narrowed his eyes, trying to make himself even smaller, offering less resistance to the wind. Was it their brooms that made them faster or their skill?

The cave wasn't terribly narrow and Raphael managed to slip into it with ease, steering clear of the rough walls even when the passageway got smaller, allowing for less space for the group of racers. Ahead of him, the two Durmstrang kids bumped into the walls not once, but twice, thrice... Yep, clearly the brooms, not the skill. He'd have to check their model once this was over. For now, he'd just have to figure out how to beat them, anyway.

Nichlas was not the fastest flyer, of course he would blame his broom for that. But at least he had managed to not get those weird creatures on him that would slowly drain one's success chances. Yefim had claimed captaincy and Nichlas found it too silly of a thing to argue about, also it would let him focus on different things. The only thing that made this alright, was that Yefim was somewhat alright and being on the good side of their school's champion made a difference in the long run he hoped. He would help his house to win this race. They would have to pay extra attention to that girl who had snatched the victory from their grip last year.

Chiaki nodded at who they guessed was the Beauxbatons’ champion racer, shaking her hand.

“I look forward to seeing your racing skills. I have the hopes that we can work well together.”

She mounted her broom and listened for Headmaster Plott’s annoying voice to begin the race.

“3…2…1…Go!”

Wand at the ready, she set off, though the start was less than smooth. Unable to avoid the bundimum, the pain of them made her wince. Trying to cast a spell at one of the Durmstrang members, she found they had already zoomed past.

”Aish.” Chiaki swore under her breath, grip tightening on the broom. She wasn’t usually competitive, but it was always different with broom racing.

Cassie had to admit that Angél sounded like a leader. She carried herself like one, too, with a sort of indestructable confidence that presumably came from winning previously and from being chosen as hexiwizard champion. It annoyed Cassie for some reason... maybe was just jealous that Angél had stolen her spot in the hexiwizard. But Cassie would have to put that aside for this match and do the best she could for her team. And herself, of course.
The moment the sparks flew into the air, Cassie followed, steering her broom upwards. While she could theoretically go a little faster than she currently was, going at this speed gave her more control over her movements. That was the theory, anyway. She still found herself covered in acid after attempting to swerve around the Bundimun.

Reducio When attempting to use the return to broom action, this is a free action (meaning both users can make a normal action) the rider and ONE passenger (if there are multiple sharing the broom, it would cost both of their actions to return them to their broom also) can retrieve a single broom.

Reducio This broom can carry multiple people. When someone uses the catch option to rescue a falling teammate, they can catch one additional teammate in a given round. If the user has the ability Catch then a user can catch an indefinite number of teammates in a round, but for each person they catch after the first there is a stacking 20% auto-failure chance.

Reducio In the role of Seeker, if an opponent attempts to Bludger or Blatch you, there is a 20% chance that you veer out of the way the last second and another enemy player at RANDOM is targeted instead. Note: The new target still gets their normal dodge attempt. This is not considered to be an auto-dodge, in fact this roll is done before any accuracy rolls are done.

For the most part, the start of the race went on smoothly for the Durmstrang team. Though most of them were unfortunately afflicted by the acidic discharge of the Bundimun in the beginning, their Institute's rough, rigorous training routines made it seem like child's play in the end.

It was during his path into a dark, mysterious tunnel that Kheanu had the most problem with. One, it was dark. Two, he was going too fast. Three, there seemed to be something quite chilling about the darkness and the tight space of the tunnel once he was right in its center. The feeling became so bothersome that he scraped his shoulder onto the cave wall for a bit.

"Mannaggia! Darn! This is velvet!" Kheanu would exclaim as he felt the soft fabric tear as it collided with the rough, uneven stone wall.

Fuming, the boy's determination to get to the end of this race only got stronger.

Mikael would act confused, but Yefim enjoyed seeing that face from him. It was a bit silly, but Mikael was always stuck in his mind over-thinking things. Sometimes it was nice to just see him living in the present, even if it was just because he couldn't understand what Yefim was trying to say. Cielle would also be beside him, but an unexpected third figure appeared, and one that he now recognized. It was the Beauxbaton champion, Angelface McAirhead. Her smaller body and lithe frame would give her an advantage to flying quickly, but he doubted her team could match Durmstrang's level of loyalty and determination.

”We will.” Yefim grinned, his comprehension and ability to speak English having come far in the last few years. ”Eat my dust.”

Seconds after they were released, almost the entirety of the Durmstrang team zoomed forward. The feeling was great, his stomach dropping and his scalp fresh with the hard wind as he fought to hold his body close to the broom and pierce through the resistance. It was working, he could see his comrades on either side, and the competition being, well, in the dust, as expected. Being the champion (and well as being so tall and handsome, as pointed out) would however draw a target on his back. He had been practicing a lot for Hexwizard as far as strength and resolve went, but he could not say the same for predicting and evading spells.

First, his legs started to jitter and wiggle. It was not too unlike the boundless energy he had at the start, and maybe have even enjoyed a bit of a mini dance party if not for the fact that it was making it very hard to hold on to the broom. Even still, the was able to navigate the obstacles with ease. The extra problem came when another spell through him backwards, annoyingly. He saw another shot flying towards Cielle, but luckily she dodged it... which was easy enough to watch while he flew backwards back through the narrow passage, being the only one of his team not to make it through.

Not that it would bother him. Being a target was fine, soaking up hits so the rest of his team would be too far ahead to be stopped worked perfectly fine for him. Not only that, but he figured it wouldn't take long for him to make up the distance himself either. He certainly had the will, and where there is a will...

Sofia's energy easily rolled into an explosive start. Explosive, because a bundimun sprayed acid all over her. "Eeeek! Kyaaaaa!" She would barely have the time to screech in pain, because the broom her mummy bought her was the Nimbus 1000, and it had a way of pushing forward even when the rider was held back. This would be further proven when she ping-ponged through almost all of the obstacles, squeaking with each hit like a new toy being given to an enthusiastic dog. Was it just her, or was flying straight really hard?

Regardless of the fact that she stumbled into everything that could possibly be stumbled into, she regained her composure as the obstacles were left behind her, and she could see that her and Henrik had pulled to the front, even if they were a bit battered. "D-Durmstrang forever!" She would wail triumphantly and exhaustively.

Face Claim

Henrik's face pinched sharply in a pained look as he looked upwards towards the skies. Maybe he wasn't as ready as he thought. Here he was surrounded by his teammates, but still he felt so utterly alone. As they took to the skies the wind would whip harshly at his face. Making him squint as he tried to keep his eyes from drying out. God how he wish he had brought some goggles. The boy sped forward hardly noticing that he and a blond haired girl were in the lead. A sense of pride over washed him. Distracting him momentarily causing him to ricochet against the walls of the cave. Pain exploded within his head but still he pressed on wary and hurt.

Mikael would give one more glance towards the boy he found himself so close with. These flights always proved a risk. At any time one of them could fall, and there would be nothing to do but press on. This time would not be any different and he was sure the ground of this battlefield would be stained ruby red before long. Mikael pushed off into the sky at the signal moving about quickly as he dodged around. As the boy glanced back he saw a spell shoot out towards Yefim. Far too close to him then should be acceptable. Mikael gritted his teeth forcing himself to look forward. There was nothing to do when he did not see who decided to cast anything at the immortal Yefim. It soured his tongue and his flying the boy would glance back towards Yefim in order to make sure he was okay.

Action: Whatever Durmstrang says to do.
