Open Brotherhood vs Heta Omega: Tug of War

Maggie quickly joined her team, being of little help as they attempted to pull the boys off their feet. She could feel them getting pulled further, and Maggie dug her heels into the ground, hard, hoping others could think of a decent strategy.
 
Morrie wasn't in the mood for physical activity but hearing Vanity's shouts and the boys starting to win was like a call to war. Morrie jumped in after the Ravenclaw to help the girls side. "AARGH C'MON WE CAN'T THE BOYS WIN!" She yelled.
 
Elio snorts at Eury cheering them on, it's funny to see her with Rose who is just watching silently, and for Eury to be causing such a racket. "Careful Jonah, don't let her distract you!"

@Jonah Edogawa ​
 
Eury was practically grinning by the time Jonah yelled back. She hadn’t really expected to have fun watching her friends because she’d been expecting to watch the girls from Heta Omega - girls that she wasn’t even really friends with. It was surprising to know though that she knew quite a number of boys from the Brotherhood so it was easy to forget cheering for girls she wasn’t friends with to boys that she was. Well, it was easy until someone from Heta Omega began yelling at her that she jumped in surprise.

Eurydice did not get along with Vanity Mettlestone who was supposedly her Heta Omega big sister. This just made her hate the girl. Hina-nee would have never yelled at her like that. And just who did she think she was to tell Eury what to do? There was certainly no way she was going to be helping out now and in her anger, she left her spot beside Rose and stomped all the way to the Brotherhood side - right to the vacant bit of rope right in front of Elio-nii. “Move,” she snapped before grabbing the rope and pulling with the boys. “HOW’S THIS FOR TRAITOR?!” If she was going to be yelled traitor at then she was going make sure she was going to deserve that.​
 
Todd loosened his grip on the rope when a girl joined the Brotherhood side, if she could then he could swap too. "Sorry guys, and er, girl, but my girlfriend needs me more," It felt so good to say that and even better dropping the rope and moving to the girls side to pull for them instead.
 
Penelope was near the front of the line of girls, so when a bunch of shouting happened behind her she wasn't sure what it was about. She was surprised when one of the girls on the sidelines shouted back and then joined the brotherhood, wishing this wouldn't turn into a conflict. She had hoped this would just be a fun little game to play. She was delighted but also surprised when Todd decided to also switch sides. It was perhaps a touch unfair, swapping a first year girl for a seventh year boy, but she thought it was such a sweet gesture she couldn't be mad at it. Unfortunately, it seemed like it was too little too late.
 
Grace watched the drama unfold with raised eyebrows, unsure if she should step in or not. She watched as one of the boys switched sides, but it didn't seem to matter. The brotherhood pulled the rope over the marker and Grace blew her whistle. "Brotherhood wins! Take a break and we'll do a round two." She said, hoping no one had been hurt.

OOCOut of Character:

The first coin flip is tails making the score -3 and in favor of the Brotherhood

Round two will start in roughly 24 hours, maybe a little earlier because I was late today, apologies!
 
Vanity was enraged when the first year decided to join the Brotherhood, where was her sense of loyalty? Penelope should kick her out of the club for this. When the Brotherhood also won quickly after, Vanity saw red. She let go of the rope and moved over to the girl, her hands still burning from the game. "She should kick you out!" She yelled at her.

Hinata had only come to watch the tug of war because her younger siblings and cousin were part of Heta Omega and the Brotherhood. It had been quite cute to watch Eury so passionate in cheering for her friends and Jonah that she’d forgotten to cheer for her clubmates. Or well, at least until more yelling happened until her younger cousin seemed to have exploded and chosen to change sides. She didn’t think too much on it since an older boy switched sides as well and a first year and a seventh year didn’t seem much of a fair trade anyway. It didn’t seem like one of the Heta Omega girls saw it that way though as they started to round on poor Eury that had Hinata standing up from her seat and start running towards the whole thing. Unfortunately, she was up watching in the stands and it’ll be a bit till she gets down to the Pitch.​

Jonah could hear the some of the girls yelling. But after Elio-nii had told him not to get distracted, he focused on pulling the rope instead. Putting his back to it like what Eury had yelled. Well, he planned to not be distracted but it was kind of hard when Eury was suddenly stomping their way, a look of anger on her face that Jonah ever rarely saw and that had him gulping and quickly scooting forward to make space for her behind him as soon as she demanded. He was quite surprised when she joined in pulling the rope - not because she joined the Brotherhood but mostly because she joined at all. And then an older boy decided to switch sides and he supposed it’s suddenly become a free for all? Except that they won pretty quickly once the older boy let go of the rope and Jonah erupted into a cheer, hugging the one in front of him in excitement. Or well at least until one of the older girls started stomping over and yelling at his cousin. That quickly got Jonah moving to stand between the unknown older girl and Eury though he didn’t know what to say in the face of such rage and he hoped someone would come help.​
 
Elio doesn't want to say anything that might get him into trouble, but as soon as a Slytherin girl made her way over to Eury, he steps up to stand protectively behind her. She's not really his sister, but she might as well be and given his relationship with Mikael, well, that's another thing entirely. "Take a walk and go cool off, you got a boy in exchange," he says, eyeing the girl hard.

Lumos cheers as they win the game, his body going rigid when he feels someone hugging him. He turns to note that it seems to be Jonah and that makes him freeze a little. He hasn't really spoken to Jonah since he kissed him at the study session, so he doesn't know what to do about it now. When Jonah lets go of him, he relaxes a little and goes to sit on the ground to wait for the next game. Only there seems to be a lot going on and Lumos raises an eyebrow as he spots an older Slytherin girl making a bit of a fuss.​
 
Audrey had mixed feelings towards Vanity, but she couldn't help but agree with her on this. "If she didn't want to be a sister, she shouldn't have joined the sisterhood." She figured it was better to show some solidarity and teamwork. She turned around and cupped her hands around her mouth to yell. "ALRIGHT, GIRLS, PUT YOUR BACKS INTO IT THIS TIME!"

@Vanity Mettlestone
 
William couldn't believe how much drama Eury had caused simply by cheering on her friends but when she joined the boys on their side of the robe he grinned and continued to pull. He was happy they were winning so far and hoped that round two would prove just as productive for them.
 
Morrie huffed when the girls lost, she crossed her arms, and watched as things started to get heated, agreeing with Vanity's viewpoint although not matching her anger levels until one older Gryffindor boy had the nerve to tell her to take a walk. "She’s not walking anywhere!” Morrie snapped, stepping forward to back up Vanity. “She's right. It's sisters before misters!” Honestly, boys were always so clueless, thinking they could boss girls around like that.

It wasn't long before the tug of war began. Marley pulled along with the other girls as much as she could. Marley's face turned into a 'yikes' sort of face when she watched the drama unfold. They were supposed to be having fun, not any sort of drama. One girl had been cheering for the other team, which Marley didn't mind though, she did see what the other girls were saying. Then basically two teammates swapped and it wasn't long before the brotherhood had won. "What the heck just happened?" Marley whispered to some people near her, to no one in particular. However, it looked like they were going to have another round.
 
Eurydice had come to watch the tug of war wanting the girls to win. And sure she had been cheering for her boys, because they were her boys but she did want the girls to win. When the yelling started though and Eury made the decision to pull with the boys - it wasn’t really that she wanted the boys to win. It’s just now she didn’t want the girls to win. It all felt very complicated and she sort of wished Kael-nii was here because she thinks this was one that he would understand what she was thinking and feeling better than Elio-nii would. She’d almost thought that she would cause the boys to lose because a rather huge boy switched sides because she did. It wasn’t like her strength could compare to his really. But they - the boys - didn’t so it was a relief. Or well at least until the girls started to yell at her even more. Even coming towards her. She might have worried a little at least until Jonah stood in front of her and Elio-nii behind her. Defending her. See? What did she need Vanity for when Elio-nii was a much better older sibling than these girls. “Who needs hags like you for sisters?”

@Vanity Mettlestone @Morrie Ayre ​
 
Elio rolls his eyes. "I'm defending my boyfriend's little sister, it's hardly any wonder she wanted to join the Brotherhood, and her family," he gestures between himself and Jonah as he speaks, "if the pair of you are going to treat her like this. I don't see any of the boys rushing to gang up on that Ravenclaw over there, do you? Why is it that when Eury does it, she's a traitor, but if he does it no-one cares? Is this the kind of solidarity they teach you in the sisterhood? Maybe if you stop treating a first year like this, she wouldn't be so inclined to be seperate from you, is it any wonder she doesn't want to have your side if this is the way you're going to react to a friendly competition, not to mention you've gone out of your way to make both her and her cousin Rose feel like they don't belong and aren't welcome, so perhaps you should think about that. Honestly, if this is how you treat your family, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with you either, isn't Eury supposed to be your... what was it Eury? Little sister?" He shakes his head. "Pathetic."​
 
Bailey couldn't believe what she had seen, one of the girls had turned on them and grabbed the rope on the boys side. She vaguely knew of the girl, she was a first year in her house and had seen her when she led the first years to the dorms after the sorting feast, but what really surprised her was the reaction of the other girls, they really went after her after losing a point to the boys. It wasn't that serious surely, it was just a game. Bailey blushed as Elio seemed to come to the girls defence, choosing not to dwell on the annoying feeling of disappointment when he referred to the girls brother as her boyfriend. She knew a little about Mikael but hadn't realised things were already serious between them. Bailey pushed those thoughts to the side and focused what was in front of her, the reactions from her fellow Heta sisters. "It's just a game, you're acting like the boys are our enemy when this is just supposed to be fun, I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it and that she just has more family and friends on the boys team, it's not that deep girls,"
 
Penelope watched in dismay as an argument broke out. She cleared her throat and raised her voice. "Alright, alright. No need to get angry at each other. Vanity, Morrie, stop shouting- she's free to join or not to join if she wants." She said, perhaps a bit belatedly. "Bailey is right, it's just a game for fun. We don'tneed to get this competitive. But we'll say that for round two everyone either joins their old team or sits on the sidelines." She said, then frowned. "And anyone who yells at someone else at this point or calls them names is disqualified from playing." She looked at both Vanity and Eurydice, as she hadn't missed the younger girl calling them hags. She gave Todd a slight smile. "That also means you should return to the brotherhood, unfortunately." She said fondly.
 
Vanity rolled her eyes at the older boy who just talked and talked to them about how they were being mean. She made a 'blah blah' motion at him with her hands to show she didn't care what she had to say. Then she stormed off to the back of the line as Penelope told them off. Like Vanity hadn't just been defending the sisterhood. Whatever anyone said, Eurydice cheering on the boys had been sh*tty and everyone knew it.
 
Teddy's celebration was cut short when the arguing started, making him feel like he was a little out of his depth. He silently sighed in relief when Penelope stepped up. Nodding at her plan, he got ready for round two. All he wanted to do was play tug of war after all. "Everyone good with that? Let’s go for round two!" he called out while rallying the Brotherhood back together, minus the first year girl who had joined them. Once everyone was ready, the second round started.

Round Two

The first coin flip is tails making the score -1 and in favour of the Brotherhood

I'm not even joking, I coin tossed twice and it was tails both time =))

Beatrice was feeling overwhelmed by all the yelling and losing as the boys won. The older girls were yelling at one of her classmates, and it was just not seeming like this was a fun club anymore. Bea looked at Maggie as they were all told what to do. "I don't want to do this anymore," she said, but her sister gave her a look. She knew that look, and Beatrice begrudingly joined the line again, squeezing in behind Maggie as they started to pull and really not get anywhere.
 
Maggie was livid that one of their classmates had joined the boys. This was girls against boys, duh! The Ravenclaw waited until they were allowed to play, finally getting Beatrice back in line before wrapping her hands around the rope, trying to get a little more traction.
 
Elio looks at Eury, annoyed that Penelope has gotten involved maybe slightly too late. She clearly had nothing to say when Eury was upset about Vanity being her sister and now she decides she wants to say something? Still, he doesn't voice his opinion, instead reaching around to crouch slightly to Eury's level. In a very soft voice, he says, "you tell me if they're mean to you again, okay?" There isn't much he can do at this point, but he also doesn't like how they immediately turned on their own member, the boys didn't do that and honestly he's not willing to put Eury at risk. They're just lucky Mikael isn't here because his boyfriend would not have let this go so quickly. "If you want to sit this out, go sit with Rose, I think she could use the company, unless you want me to come sit with you?"
