────────────────────────────────────── MAHOUTOKORO ───────────
| ─── | It was Saturday, September 2nd, 2023.
Today, they would be playing a game called Capture the Balls. It was a pretty simple game. Well, after you got the hang of things, that is. Tone's current hair was a bright blue color this time. He wanted to start the new school year off with a bang, thus this particular shade. Yesterday had been the opening ceremony for the new first years and he couldn't help but be excited about what they would bring to Mahoutokoro. It had been their first day and the weekend was upon them now. Tone ran a hand through his blue hair and stuck his wand into his pocket, as he looked up into the sky to bask in the sunlight above him. Sun. Heh. Tone couldn't help but think about one of his friends, Sunny (Bailey Glade). He wondered how she was doing this year, the girl hadn't been sending as many letters lately for some reason. Maybe it had to do with whatever it was that was going on with her crush that she kept talking to him about. Tone started to walk down one of the two long scenic pathways from the castle which led down to the shoreline of the island. It was a lovely secluded beach, perfect for holding water sports and games. Or if one wanted to play in the sand there too. This time, Tone had come down for a specific reason. He'd even plastered some posters on the bulletin. It was his attempt to try and attract the attention of other students. Hopefully, it would end up working sometime soon. The last thing he wanted was to remain at the beach and have absolutely no one show up to the game. It would be a real shame. All he really needed was at least one person to show up. If the game was a success and the other person liked it, maybe they'd spread the word and the next time he put together a game, more people would show up to it. One could only hope for the best. After all, it was the first weekend. |

Notes:
Tone waits to see if anyone shows up to play water sports with him!
Capture the Balls is a moderated game.
It will consist of 3 rounds and will last for 3 weeks IRL time.
There will be 1 mod post per week.
The game will start when there are at least 2 players.
Please 'sign up for the game' by posting in this thread and stating your interest in playing.
After at least one person 'signs up' the game will start 2 weeks later.
If during those 2 weeks, no one else signs up, it will begin!
Game is simple.
Let's say there are 3 players.
Each player will have a suspended hoop in the water that is located behind them.
The hoops/players will be set up in a large circle, so they are all the same distance from eachother.
Behind each hoop, there is a beach ball to use if you choose to attack.
When the game starts, you have 2 options.
You can either choose to defend your hoop or attack from your location.
DEFEND ---
If you choose to defend, you get a chance to redirect the ball back at your opponent.
Ex: You are attacked and they break through your defense and score 20 points. You chose to defend. You get a roll to see if you can send the ball back at your attacker. If you are successful, you win 10 points. If you are not, your attacker wins 20 points. If your attacker does not break through your defense in the first place, your defense doesn't do anything as you already won your 10 points. If you choose to defend and no one attacks you, you do not win any points.
ATTACK ---
If you choose to attack, you get a chance to throw your ball into your opponent's hoop.
Ex: You attack your target and break through their defense. As a result, you score 20 points. This is the way to get points faster and more of them. However, it's a double-edged sword, as there is a high risk that comes with attacking someone. If they end up defending and win against you, they win 10 points and you get 0 points. But you also don't want to always defend because if no one ever attacks, you also get 0 points. Therefore, make sure you choose your action wisely!
Rolls are done ONLY by using your main stats.
For this game, abilities do not come into play, as this is a game meant to test your basic stats!
Please make sure you add your stats in your post when the game officially starts, which will take place in a new thread I will set up once I know how many players are in the game. Good luck everyone!

Mahoutokoro's Water Sports!
At first glance, he was more of a sports man than a book man. Though it had been many years since people treat those two qualities as an either/or sort of skill, if Sara had to ever focus on one of them, it would definitely be sports. Perhaps it had something to do with genetics. His grandmother used to be in the army, and she was one hell of a hardworking soldier. He had find it naturally easy to participate in sports that involved physical strengths. So when Tone made an announcement that he was hosting a game on the beach, Sara was intrigued.
Today he adorned a lightweight white shirt and a pair of beach shorts. His hair started to grow from its previous buzzcut. On top of it all, was a pair of his usual black sunglasses. It was a rarity for Sara to wear in anything but dark clothes. In his beach bag, there was the usual. Sunscreen, towel, huge bottle of water. He slung the bag over his shoulders with ease and head towards the area Tone mentioned.
He felt the sand brush against his toes and glided through his ankles as the breeze tickled his skin. The sun was beaming down, letting him get his daily dose of vitamin c. It wouldn’t take long before he spotted Tone. He stopped for a moment, his stance rigid and straight for a moment. He enthusiastically waved at the younger boy before putting his hand down and sprinting towards him without much of a sweat. “ Tone. Hello “ he greeted politely with his gruff tone, but there was no mistaken the smallest creek of a smile at the end of his lips. Basking in the joy it felt to be around a friend.
