Interacting with Pink Parrots

Donning a loose yellow off-the-shoulder top over a black tank top and a pair of denim shorts with some trainers, Serena arrived at the pirate ships. A black bandana with yellow dots was tied over her ears and above her head, fully covering her ears once more. She was pretty intrigued about how this whole thing would work. Were they going to have to sneak on board different ships to steal flags? That seemed kind of hard! But she was always up for a challenge, after all.

Taking one of the life jackets that she was given, Serena thanked the student before going to figure out where she was supposed to be starting. It appeared that each ship was given to a different group, which seemed rather interesting. With a soft smile to the little brown rat on her shoulder, she made her way to the ships. He was probably not going to be involved at all but she liked having him nearby. She figured she could keep him somewhere on the ship whilst she played.

Apparently, she was assigned to the "Pink Parrots" group. Heading over to her ship once she figured out which one it was and that was where she was supposed to be started. There, she found spotted the teammates who had already gathered, "Hey everyone!" She greeted them in a friendly tone with a quick wave of her hand and a rather large grin on her face, "I'm Serena," She continued, being sure to introduce herself to them. For the most part, she did not recognise some of these faces. The ship itself looked pretty cool though. She took a few moments to look around, just so she could figure out exactly where she was and what the plan was. Orienting herself was always a good start.

Louca was running late. Which should not be a surprise. He had gotten distracted with some planned hijinks and lost track of time. But he also didn’t want to miss the capture the jolly roger game. It seemed like there would be plenty to keep him entertained, and more people to meet. Both things Louca loved. Summer camp was fun, and he was already looking forward to next year.

After he had realized the time, he had quickly ran back to his tent, throwing on a pair of bright orange swim shorts before doing a sniff test and determining he was fine, even having spent quite a bit of time running around. With wings on his feet, he took off in the direction of the game, dodging around tents and people with ease as he did so.

Panting, he arrived and surveyed the scene, the circle with numerous flags easily visible. Grinning Louca could already tell the obstacles were going to push him and he loved that thought. Checking to see what team he was, Louca looked around, trying to determine what color looked the most sapphire like. Shrugging, he took a chance and headed towards one area. Sliding to a halt, he practically shouted “Sorry! Lost track of time! Louca, Ilvermorny reporting for duty.” Looking around, he thought he recognized at least one person but figured that wasn’t important right now. “Has strategy been decided already? Or are we all just dashing for a different area?” Louca tilted his head slightly, looking like an inquisitive puppy as he waited to see what would happen once the game started.

When Theo signed up for Capture the Jolly Roger which appeared to be some pirate version of Capture the Flag, he had already guessed that he would find some other familiar faces in the game. After all, the summer games seemed to generally be rather crowded. And he wasn't wrong. There was one face in his team that he knew, even if it was only because one grew familiar when being in the same school and house, but that was it really. The other students seemed to be from all over the place.

Not that he minded, actually Theo quite enjoyed this aspect about the camps- when did he ever get away from either home or school other than this? The opportunity to meet new people from different places with different cultures was something he'd hate to miss, he even got a job this summer to help his parents pay for flights.

When the young Thunderbird arrived at the Sapphie Swashbucklers' ship, most of his teammates were already there. "Well, hi there! Sorry for the delay. Theo Duncain, nice to meet y'all. Sooo, what we gonna do?" He leaned against the wall of the ship and looked around. The whole set up was quite amazing, it really made it all feel more like a pirate game.

Signing up for Capture the Jolly Roger had seemed like a good idea when she had first done it, as did all the events she had signed up for seemingly all at once. Now, on the ship she realized that the teams would not be on land playing the game, but rather going between ships trying to secure the other teams flags. Olive pulled her hair back into a long ponytail and hoped she would not fall into the water below during the game.

Her team was the Teal Treasure, which, thankfully, seemed to have no Durmstrang students on it. After the incident at the ball in the spring, she had tried her best to steer clear of the other school. Looking out across the water, she saw her new cousin wave. Smiling brightly, Olive waved back. As she had found out recently at the camp, her mother’s side of the family was a lot more complex than she had originally thought.

Turning away from Starlee, she smiled at the rest of her team. ”Hello! I’m Olive, from Ilvermorny.” She glanced around before asking, “So do we have a strategy to use or what?” Hopefully their team captain would have come up with a strategy in advance, so they didn’t all have to scramble around just minutes before the game was to start.

Vivienne was excited. Capture the Flag, or Capture the Jolly Roger as they've named it, was one of the games Vivienne was the most excited for. Not that she wasn't excited for the rest she had signed up for, she was, but this game just sounded like so much fun. Especially since they were playing it above water, which made it all the more dangerous. She had opted for wearing something simple and light, since she had guessed she would be running around (and potentially, though hopefully not, fall in the water) and had thrown her hair up into a ponytail to get it out of her face. She was prepared, and could already feel her competitive side coming out.

Eagerly thanking the student who would be the referee for the game, she took one of the lifejackets she was given, and after listening to the rules, she headed over to her team's ship. She had been assigned to the team Teal Treasure, which was a pretty cool name if Vivienne had anything to say about it. "Hi everyone!" She said to her team once she arrived at their ship, "We've got this!" She gave each of her teammates an encouraging smile, mentally preparing herself for what was sure to be a fun, yet tiresome, game. At least she was slightly athletic, so hopefully she wouldn't be out of breath within the first 10 minutes.

Why the hell had Bubba signed up for this? Physical activity? In this heat? Bubba had never been the most sporty of boys. Stick and ball sports (or flag sports, in this case) weren't for him. He was only interested in broom racing because of its resemblance to the rallys he'd on been back home. It was down to skill, reflexes, and pure nerve more than anything as far as he was concerned. This was a horse of a completely different color. It was too late now, he was signed up. Even though he was sure to bring shame and disgrace on his family for generations to come, he was ready to have some fun.

He walked onto the scene and started looking for his ship - he was one of the Pink Parrots - not really his color but as always he'd roll with it. He was wearing red trainers (he called them his ruby slippers), black gym shorts, a lurid pink polo shirt (one of his friends was kind enough to change the color so he could get in the spirit of things), and of course, his Red Sox hat (just Boston things).

His first thought as he walked by all the other bases was that he definitely felt a bit young for this. There were a number of older kids that if he had to tangle with for one of the flags, he would be at a distinct disadvantage. His only real hope would be to try to outsmart them, which was not out of the question. He got a look at some of the obstacles as well. Unfortunately, it looked like the easiest ship to get on would, unfortunately, be the one he couldn't attack - his own.

Bubba finally got to his own ship and climbed the steps. As got on the ship he saw Kim and Stephen Schwartz standing in the same general area. He kind of knew them so he figured that was the best place to stand. "Ahoy mateys!" He growled with a mock salute in way of a greeting.

This was her summer of adventure. Lucky was determined to make the most of summer camp and so far...it had been a success. Sure, she wasn't going to be the queen of any friendship group and she certaintly hadn't made any lifelong friendships. But she was having fun, connecting with other kids, and most importantly: stepping out of her comfort zone. She signed up for the game on a whim, having never participated in one before. Arriving to the 'playground' where things would take place let Lucky know that she was absolutely out of her league when it came to this. A little smile spread across her lips as she climbed the platform -- that was exactly what she wanted when she arrived.

She strapped into the life jacket handed to her, gazing around at the massive ships. She seemed entranced by the different obstacles to each ship, studying them as much as she could from just a few glances. She missed her given name being called but turned when she heard 'Thawin' -- and caught sight of her tentmate. Cass's cousin. Verona. The pretty guy that she'd been unable to actually speak to. She was on his team?! Once again, Lucky couldn't quite make herself say a word. She gazed around at the other people who were moving towards their new captain.

Lucky did the same, brushing her hair over her shoulder as she inhaled...then exhaled. Still, she didn't speak to her tentmate, annoyed at herself for being...shy? This was pathetic. ❛ Call me Lucky. ❜, she murmured. Getting herself under control, she followed her teammates. The green scarf that kept her hair tied back matched the large overshirt she wore. Her entire wardrobe was designed to allow comfort and movement. Lucky stretched her arms, twisting her head to relax her neck as well. She was content on throwing herself into the fray no matter what. May as well go all out.

Aryaan Shamsi was many things: Seeker, trickster, champion, extraordinarily charming, and obviously the funniest person ever. But one thing that he was before everything else was an adventurer. And what could be more adventurous than a pirate adventure?

This entire little adventure had been one large pirate adventure, it would obviously not be complete without a pirate battle on ships!

This was going to be so much fun, the Mahoutokoro boy could hardly contain his excitement.
A part of him had wanted to show up dressed as a pirate, full with a fake beard and a getup. But of course, he hadn’t thought to bring a costume like that from home, and didn’t want to break his tentative peace with Shimizu-kun by risking being caught causing more trouble.

So reluctantly, he had opted for casuals instead - a white T-shirt and sweatpants and no shoes – no point in wearing something to a shipbattle if you didn’t want it getting wet, after all!

Having arrived, Aryaan was surprised that he didn’t know many of the faces present. A good thing, that; he’d get to make new friends this way!

Or… maybe not? There were some formal Hogwartsians, which was never a good sign. But at least the Russian girl gave him an opening.

“Arrrgh ye landlubbing lads and lasses.” Aryaan affected an exaggerated pirate-voice. “I be Aryaan the Anarchist, terror of the high seas, and rider of large magical whales.”

A broad smile, as he returned to his normal voice. “Seriously guys. Get into it, this can be a lot of fun!”
