Slytherin vs Ravenclaw - Fall 2024
QUIDDITCH - SLYTHERIN vs RAVENCLAW - FALL 2024
Date: October 12th 2024
Time: 10:30 am
Weather: Grey skies with rain

The stereotypical grey miserable weather had been non-stop for the last few days, and unfortunately, on the Saturday morning, it showed no signs of slowing down. The sky was thick with grey clouds, and the rain only seemed to be getting heavier - there had even been rumours of a storm. Both teams, complete with new rosters, would have to brave the less than ideal conditions alongside their supporting fans, who had braved the weather with them, ready for the first game of the new season.
Dressed in a waterproof poncho, the announcer would clear their throat before speaking. "Attention, and welcome back! Are you guys ready for this new quidditch season?"
A loud roar of cheers would answer their question.
"Wonderful! Now, let's welcome the teams: Slytherin and Ravenclaw!"
Both teams would emerge, welcomed by the almost deafening applause and the sight of emerald and silver and navy and bronze. As the announcer introduced each player, the teams would huddle together and prepare, no doubt having to adjust to the torrential rain that may have disrupted their original strategy.
A loud cough would catch everyone's attention, quietening the crowd. "If everybody's ready... we can let the first game of the season commence!"
A note to all players: The word count minimum is 50 words. The next deadline to post and submit strategy is 120 hours from the time this is posted. You must include in your first post (and preferably all posts) any active abilities, your character's stats (without broom, you can also include the stats with broom but they must be clearly separated), and your character's chosen broom and its effects.

It was bittersweet in a way, entering the field sans Cec. It almost felt like a sin on their part. It was too bad that Cec had actually earned her place as a Ravenclaw and passed her OWLs, because if she had failed maybe she would still be hanging out with them. Erm, not that Winnie wanted her to fail, she just really missed her.
Bex had been great, though. Winnie found that a 12 year old telling her what to do terrified her more than someone who was her senior. Plus, after their truth or drink game, she was pretty positive the brunette knew her darkest secrets.
With her broom clenched in her right hand, Winnie took to the air, the hair she had gathered into a pink ribbon streaming behind her as she started doing laps around the stadium.

Slytherin vs Ravenclaw - Fall 2024

by Elena Clark
Avery straddled his new broom and leapt into the rain, which hardly bothered him anymore. It was just another part of quidditch after having been on the team for three years.
However, this year was the last year in which both Dan and Koko would be part of the team. The small boy didn't see either of his captains failing their exams, so he hoped the team would give them their best effort for the glorious sendoff they deserved.

Slytherin vs Ravenclaw - Fall 2024
Sixth-year Seeker Aly Salinger regretted very much her thoughts from last spring's game against Gryffindor in which she had lamented the brilliant sun in her eyes inhibiting her ability to catch the Snitch.Banner made by the lovely @Winnie Harper & featuring AI-generated art!
Now, she'd have sold her own left arm if it meant she could get the bloody sun back.
Traipsing onto the pitch in a torrential monsoon that seemed to only be the culmination of the week's worth of rain, Aly could only find comfort in two things: first, her brand-new Oakshaft 79, a Seeker's broom and one she had only just grown into this year, freshly polished and glistening golden in her slick grip, and second, the fact that she at least wasn't the last one there. In fact, she was one of the first, with only scarlet hair and pink ribbons having beaten her to the pitch. Pushing a wet curl out of her face - at least she'd been able to Impervius her robes so she wouldn't be soaked through to the bone - Aly blinked hard against the rain as she boarded her Oakshaft and took to the skies, pulling up alongside @Winnie Harper with a grin; the two girls had shared a locker room for years and a tent over the summer, and Aly considered the new fifth-year a close friend by now.
"Hey, you," she called out to Winnie, trying to be heard over the break of thunder above them - and not resisting the ability to make a pun to her, uh, canine-esque friend. "Dog days are over, eh? You ready for this?"

(+3 to all stats) silver arrow • broomThis would be Ophelia's second official Quidditch game playing for her house's team. Or, at least, being benched on Ravenclaw's team. And she couldn't help but compare both the games. The first difference? The terrible weather. While the sun had been shining during Ravenclaw's victory, the sunshine was now hidden beneath rain clouds.
The second difference? Her best friend @Quinn Brook wouldn't be sitting next to her the whole game anymore, cheering along with her. Instead, the other girl would be up in the skies, playing. While she knew that's what Quinn had wanted, it still felt sad that she'd have to endure the stress of watching this game (and potentially playing in it) alone.
Still, Ophelia would be sitting on the bench with her hands tightly wrapped around her broom, watching her friend and cheering her on.action • benchedparagon of health • allies are Quinn Brook and Winnie Harper☽ •----------------------------------------• ☾

Her shoes squeaked as she shuffled onto the pitch, broom in right hand and bat in the other. As Ebony took off into the air, she looked up into the dull grey sky. The rain battered hard onto her, flattening her hair and soaking her uniform. Usually, she wasn't particularly bothered by glum weather; it was sometimes even welcoming, serving as a break from the relentless sunshine that Ebony very much disliked. But today, it wasn't so optimal; the heavy rain and wind was making her fingers numb and obstructing her vision. The only thing she could do was tighten her grip on the broom and blink the water away.

Slytherin vs Ravenclaw - Fall 2024
Date: Saturday, 12 October 2024
Time: 10:30
Location: Quidditch Stadium
· · ─────── · 𖢨 · ─────── · ·With the advent of October came torrential rain, and apparently the end of Koko's content smiles.
Koko entered the Quidditch Stadium with her shoulders turned slightly inwards, her head ducked – anything to help her avoid the worst of the rain. She glanced around through narrowed eyes and the blurriness of raindrops that caught on her lashes. Thank Merlin she wasn't a Seeker. She couldn't imagine having to stare upwards in this weather.
The small seventh year was quiet and moody, as per usual. The curtain of rain only served to cause her more contrition. She could only hope her ponytail would remain firmly in its place at the back of her head. The idea of spitting soaked strands of stray hair out of her mouth was sickening.
She would offer @Avery Chen a small wave and a curt nod before mounting her broom and taking off. Those who arrived later would receive a similar greeting. Pleasantries were not quite her priority. She could always tell them, 'We can do this!' or 'Do your best!' but with Slytherin, this should not have to be said. They would always do their best, but actions spoke louder than words.· · ─────── · 𖢨 · ─────── · ·

Interactions: Slytherin Quidditch Team
Mod Info:Reducio
Stats: Abilities: Stamina: 20 (23)
Evasion: 10 (13)
Strength: 3 (6)
Wisdom: 7 (10)
Arc Power: 5 (8)
Accuracy: 24 (27) Part-Veela Alluring: 10% of a Quaffle score attempt against a part-Veela Keeper failing; 10% auto-redirect chance as a potential target of blatching/bludgering.
ReducioAs a Keeper there is a chance that the attempt to score would fail if a user was attempting to score against a part-Veela Keeper. As a potential target of blatching or bludgers, there is a chance that if the target is a Veela that the attack will be redirected to one of the attacker's own team mates.
Evasive Maneuvers - 10% Auto-dodge
Part-Veela Scream: Potential AOE foul causing -1 accuracy and -1 evasion to up to five targets.
ReducioCan use their Scream but it would be considered a foul and they would be suffering a detention after.
Their scream can be disorienting (-1 accuracy and -1 evasion), requiring a full action to perform but does not require a wand. This can stack indefinitely and persist until the end of the encounter. This scream can target a single user or it can target up to five users (as an AOE attack).
Calming Presence - Allies (SLYTHERIN) have 10% chance of auto-success
Keeper's Catch - Will be specified in actions sent
Reducio10% chance to automatically block an attempt to score a goal as long as the Keeper is taking an action in the goal area.
If an attempt to score has been blocked through this effect, the Keeper may take one of the following three as a free action: hurl the quaffle at the opponent team in an attempt to injure a player of their choice, pass the quaffle to a teammate who is taking a quaffle-related action, or attempt to score on the opponent. This must be declared by the Keeper if any of these free actions are to be utilized, for example:
Keeper: Block [& Pass to x if Keeper's Catch goes off] - the pass recipient must be taking a quaffle related action
Keeper: Starfish and Stick [& Attack x if Keeper's Catch goes off] - the action will be equivalent to a bludger action
Keeper: Block [& Score if Keeper's Catch goes off]
Part-Veela Temperamental: +3 to critical success range, +1 to critical fail range.
Reducio+3 to their critical success range (and a +1 chance to critically fail) an attack.
Broom:Varápidos - +3 to all stats - Varápidos info:
ReducioEnganação. This literally means "cheat" and is a basically the art of sleight of hand for Brazilian Quiddich players. When a Quiddich player attempts to use the "cheat" action where they attempt to cast a spell while in a game, they succeed once per game automatically. Must declare alongside cheat action. All subsequent attempts to cheat have a 10% automatic "not noticed by the spectators" effect.

Slytherin vs Ravenclaw - Fall 2024
It was Charlie's first game of the new school year. The team was missing their old captain and it felt wrong to be getting ready for the game without her. Their new captain was a second year, which felt weird to Charlie, taking orders from someone significantly younger than her.
Stepping out onto the pitch, Charlie took a deep breath of the wet fall air, and looked at the shimmering hoops that would be hers to guard. Since the weather had been so miserable, Charlie hadn't been out much and was glad to be playing her first game this season.

Quinn was elated. Happy. Enthusiastic. She was playing her first real match. Like playing playing. She was going to be in the air the whole game (unless she fell but she didn't want to think about that). Unfortunatly there was a problem. Her best friend @Ophelia Northwell would be on the bench. Not playing and having fun with her. Also it was raining, hard. Quinn waved to Ophelia as she walked onto the wet pitch. Gripping her broom tightly she took a deep breath. Time to start off the first quidditch game with a bang! Quinn thought.༺♡༻༺♡༻༺♡༻

Slytherin vs Ravenclaw - Fall 2024
𝓣he nerves her first game as co-captain invoked were dulled by two things: one, still being on the bench meant she could sit back and let Lavinia handle the actual on-field strategy, while she was able to keep an eye on everyone below, and two, clutched between her hands was Aly's old Silver Arrow, a gift from the older girl that she still sometimes thought would disappear when she blinked. She'd yet to name it - the two of them had hardly gotten to know each other, yet, and she wasn't sure she'd earned the right - but underneath the words Aly Salinger that had been carved into the handle was now Rebecca Lark.
Two generations of Ravenclaw Quidditch dedication. She hoped she could live up to the legacy.
Bundled up in her wellie boots and raincloak, she took her seat on the bench with the others. She gazed across at them all, some of them familiar faces after her year on the team, but with a couple of new additions. Addressing their two newest @Uri Davies and @Maeve Blanchett, she asked, having to raise her voice over the sound of the rain, "Are you two ready for your first game?"
