Flying Balls And Smiling Faces
July 19th, 2020
About 3pm in the afternoon
July 19th. A fine day.
Lindsey grinned while running out of her tent. Today was her birthday, and although she told no one about it, she would like to have some fun things to do.
Lindsey remembered establishing a club last year. The amis, yep, a fine club with great members. They haven’t been meeting for a long time. Well, the last meeting was, pretty awkward, and they did not even get used to each other’s names. She decided to change the situation.
What should they do…? The bright eyed girl wondered, while randomly picking up a small pebble. It looked nice, and she decided to keep it.
Wait, stones…no balls!
Lindsey remembered playing a dodgeball game in the muggle primary school her parents sent her to. As a young witch, she was pretty shocked at that time, by how interesting the game was.
Yes! A game of dodgeball might bring them together!
While thinking excitedly, the girl wrote down a note to her fellow amis:
Amis,
Come and play a game of dodgeball at 3pm! Let’s gather on the grounds, and have a great afternoon together. The game rules are sent to you with this note. See you!
-Holly
@Ivy Bellamy @Nell Zoldak @Ginevra Tsuchiya @Lucille Williams @Meredith Ready @May Moonstar @Cassandra Ironwoods @Taylor Natalie Rogers-Freeman @Scarlett Aden @Autumn Ivy
I have no idea which of you attended the camp and which not, so I mentioned all of you!
Just like what she had said in the note, Lindsey wrote down all the rules:
Reducio
Dodgeball Game
Referee x 1
I @Lindsey Springhall
The referee would be answering IC questions, organize and moderate the game.
Stats Acquired: None
Attackers x 4
Pair 1
I @Willow Anderson & II @Ami Procoppio
Pair 2
III Open & IV Open
As an attacker, you are sorted into two groups with a ball each group. Your job is to throw the ball at the dodgers and manage to hit them. You would be throwing the ball to your partner for a Direct Catch / hit the dodgers and your partner shall manage to catch / throw for next round. You have three basic movements:
1. General Throw
When you try for a General Throw, you do not have a specific person / bunch of people to throw at. In this situation, everyone’s evasion would be calculated.
2. Specific Throw
A Specific Throw would cause the ball to fly directly at a specific person / bunch of people. Please specify your victims in your actions.
3. Direct Catch
You decide to throw the ball directly to you partner to let him / her / them to catch it. If your partner succeeded in catching it, the dodgers would be “frozen” (unable to move) next round. If your partner failed, then there’s no use for this throw.
Stats Acquired:
#Accuracy (when trying to hit someone / generally)
#Wisdom (when trying to catch the ball in a Direct Catch)
Two balls are using: Ball #1 at pair 1, Ball #2 at pair 2. Please specify which ball you are using. You cannot change your partner and your ball after the game begins.
Now the possessors: Willow & Attack 3
Dodgers x 10
II Open
III Open
IV Open
V Open
VII Open
VIII Open
IX Open
X Open
As a dodger, you stand in the middle, between the pairs of attackers. Your job is pretty easy——try to dodge from the ball. Everyone starts with two lives. A hit or even touch of the ball would automatically lose you one life. You may attempt to catch the ball, and if you catch managed to catch it, you would be given an additional life. Your basic movements:
1. Dodge
When trying to dodger from the ball, your evasion would be calculated. If you are not the target, then you would not be thrown at, which means you don’t have to dodge this round.
2. Attempt Catch
You may attempt to catch the ball as well. The top three wisdom rolls would have the luck to touch the ball. However, only the one with highest accuracy roll would eventually catch it. If you failed catching but touched it however, you would lose a life as well. Be cautions!
Stats Acquired:
#Evasion (when dodging)
#Wisdom (when attempting to catch the ball)
#Accuracy (to determine the one that eventually catch the ball)
All Dodgers start with two lives. If you have zero life left, then you are out. You could not submit your actions again (but still welcome to post and cheer!)
She had also copied plenty of rules for new participants——maybe others at the camp wanted to play too?
At about 3pm, Lindsey jumped merrily out the tent. They would spend a great afternoon, she knew that.
Lindsey leaned against a big tree, and waited for her fellow amis to arrive.
Reducio
Hello friends out there! No matter you are a club member or not, as long as you are present at the camp, you are allowed to join the game. Only, if you are not a club member, you would not receive the note and would get the rules after arriving.
Please use last year stats and abilities. First Years must be registered in the index.
Also, please submit your actions under your post. All posts are 200 words minimum as well. If you still have questions, please Owl / DM me.
Have fun!

Dragging @Ami Procoppio to Play Dodgeball
Vying to be an Attacker Pair
Willow was dreading the end of camp, it was an amazing time that had been largely stress free besides the Quidditch game. Without studies, mysterious hags, and overall some healthy relationship building between her and some friends which was much needed after the hardships she had gone through with one of them. There was a relief to be going home soon, but such a desire to just return to Hogwarts immediately and continue her studies. She was hungry for more and more, not even realizing how much she needed to be home to heal yet.
On her usual stroll of the grounds she saw a game of dodgeball being set up and immediately she was interested. For someone that had been gearing up to compete all camp and had already done her fair share of using that competitive flare that seemed content. Well, until she saw this tempting game set out in front of her. No one was there yet, but with a quick scan of the grounds she spotted someone that was quickly becoming a close mentor and friend of hers. If there was anyone to compete with in dodgeball, it was Ami Procoppio. After seeing how intense she was during the egg race, there was no way she would pass up on something like this that involved directly chucking the dodgeballs at peoples faces.
The small blonde ran over to Ami, not even giving her time to consider saying no. Lucky, the tall badger was facing away from her which gave Willow ample ability to make a running leap onto Ami's back. She was strong enough to handle it, especially since Willow was so light. Willow was becoming notorious for this move, but it wasn't her fault that she was surrounded by so many tall people. "Ami! Dodgeball, play with me please? Great!" She grabbed Ami's head gently and slowly turned it to face the dodgeball court. Her head plopped down on Ami's shoulder, "You know you can't say no to this." Her voice came out in a sing song tone to add extra persuasion. To Willow's delight, Ami walked them over to the dodgeball court. To anyone that would arrive, Willow would have a terrifying fire in her eyes, that really, wasn't that terrifying because of how adorable she is. But, she was ready to fight and fight hard to destroy her opponents and protect her teammates.
Stats || Stamina: 6 / Evasion: 5 / Strength: 4 / Wisdom: 8 / ArcPower: 6 / Accuracy: 7
Action || Dragging Ami against her will to be her attack partner in dodgeball, because that is how friendship works.

This summer had gone nothing like how Ami had planned. If you had asked her, at the beginning of the school year, what she thought she'd be doing, she probably would've answered something along the lines of living it up in Ireland with Scott's family, antagonizing one Ben Jones, and writing love letters to a certain Slytherin. But somewhere along the way, everything had gotten flipped on its head. Ami had stubbornly believed that everything in her life was just smooth sailing, but a storm had blown in and tipped her precious little sailboat over.
The Hufflepuff vs. Durmstrang game was an interesting twist, too. Although Ami had never been too keen on Quidditch, preferring No-Maj sports and martial arts, she had grown rather fond of the wizarding pastime. She'd even commentated on one of the games, although it wasn't like she'd done a very good job. There certainly was no Lee Jordan to be found in this one. But she'd learned a lot about it, and learned to appreciate it. So, of course, she was in full support of her team, and had even become quite acquainted with a few of its key players. Well, maybe even more than acquainted...
So she'd be lying if she said that she didn't have a soft spot for @Willow Anderson. She could hear Willow's feet pattering across the ground (although of course, she had no idea it was the tiny keeper who was sprinting at her) so luckily, she wasn't too caught off-guard by the sudden clinging to her back. Fortunately, she had enough common sense to fight her immediate instinct to flip Willow to the ground, judo style, and instead grabbed Willow's legs securely to make sure the girl didn't slide right off.
"Hey, Anderson—" Ami said, turning her head slightly to greet the younger Hufflepuff, but she never got the chance. Without warning, Willow planted her head on Ami's head, turning it towards the dodgeball court. And, of course, her expression lit up with joy. After all, she was an angry, moody teenager with far too many pent-up emotions she couldn't identify nor face. What better therapy was there than to pelt a bunch of other helpless little kids with dodgeballs? "Aw, hell yeah!" she exclaimed. "I'm the king of dodgeball." No one would be surprised by that statement.
"Hang on tight, Will," she added, making sure the younger girl's arms were tightly fastened around her neck, and that her legs were properly hooked around her waist. If they were going into battle chicken style, Ami was going to make sure that they were going to do it safely. I know, so uncharacteristic!
"Alright!" she yelled, glancing around the battlefield. "Who dares oppose us?!"
