Opaleye Assault IV

"Hey Zoe, no worries...school and work come first. You're no good to the team if the headmistress won't let you play because you've been cutting classes and stuff. Anyways, we're just messing around right now anyways. Trying to figure out whether there is anyone cool enough at this school to be our third chaser. Looks like Kale will be taking Murtagh's old Beater spot and Sam is replacing Rose at Chaser."

Bruin turned to the remainder of the group, noting the smiles on their faces. "Alright let's bring it in for a sec. Somebody needs to control you unruly lot and get you focused on Quidditch.", Bruin yelled jokingly.
 
"Oh yes, how unruly," Estrella laughed. "We're all over the place. Don't kill us, Captain Dumbledez!" She almost fell off her broom, and for some odd reason she was especially giggly today. She threw the quaffle to Sam, looking to Bruin for instructions in their practice.
 
As Bruin asked for everyone to bring it in, Kale inched his way over to the others. For no reason in particular in the midst of the silence, he poked Sam in the side jokingly, "Boop" and made a silly face. :p
 
"You know it!" she shouted jovially back to Kale, doing a little dive and a spin to prove her point. She had been working very hard after lessons to improve her technique, and she felt that she had gained some experience. She just hoped it was good enough for the team.

She caught the Quaffle, and put it underneath her arm, zooming in towards Bruin. She felt the utter serious in the air. She paused, her eyes qizzing from one player to another, waiting for something to happen. When Kale poked her in the side, she squealed, skirting away from him. Little known to everyone else, she was extremely ticklish. :p

{ooc: Geh...No muse. :o
 
Zoe smiled, and was thankful she had such an understanding team. She flew over to Kale and Sam.
"Welcome newcomers..." she said in a very sly, and evil way, "Now it's time for your initiation" She said, then did a very evil laugh, but couldn't help giving the goofy smirk she inherited from her Uncle Ron.
 
When Sam let out a squeal, Kale got the reaction that he had wanted and laughed. He then poked her once more, wondering how much she can take until he pushed her buttons.

"Thanks, Zoe." her attempt at the 'evil act' wasn't working very well. "Work a little bit more on the tough guy face, will ya Zoe?" he let out a laugh and gave her a wink.
 
Bruin watched his rag-tag outfit of jokers and mischief makers and shook his head slowly, not doubting their abilities or character, but wondering if he was providing the type of leadership that they would need to be a successful quidditch team.

"Alright, looks like the six of us are all that are going to make it today. Shall we play a little three on three? Two chasers and a keeper on each side with no bludgers or snitch. I know it isn't ideal, but I'm at a loss for how to run these practices. I think Lily, Sam and Estrella should be the one team as you will need to work together in controlling the quaffle in games. Zoe, Kale and I can do our best to provide some opposition to you passing lanes and stuff. Any better suggestions?" Bruin said, hoping to get a little bit of actual quidditch practice in before their game against the Valkryies.
 
continued to squirm at Kale poking her, but refused to release a sound of protest. She kept her jaw set, and tried to remain still, looking at Bruin with a stony resolution on her face, before she finally snapped. She squealed again, and rolled away to the side, clutching her sides, and laughing grandly. Tears were coming to her eyes. Why was she so TICKLISH?! :p
 
Estrella waited patiently on her Broomstick, listening to Bruin speak. "So are you starting with the quaffle or are we?"
 
Kale listened to Bruin as he gave the team instruction, "Payback time!" he said glaring at Estrella evilly.

He decided to cease the poking of Sam, it was time to be serious. Kale then began to pay attention and wait for Bruin to give the word on when to start.
 
"I'm all up for that!" Zoe said, then zoomed towards Estrella, Lily and Sam, and joked to them, "Get ready to eat my dust!" Then stuck her tongue out at them all, and turned and flew towards her team's end.
 
Finally composing herself after her fit of giggles, she flew back towards the group, and waited with a ly serious look upon her face. She waited for Bruin to give the que.
 
Bruin tossed the quaffle to the three girls on the opposing team. "Alright first quaffle to you. Let's see what you've got." Bruin then hovered over the centre of the pitch, prepared to respond as soon as the girls started mounting an attack.
 
Estrella stuck out her tongue at Kale. "You wish, bud!" Laughing, she flew to the hoops on her side, guarding them dutifully and looking to Sam and Lily. "Scoring's all up to you, guys!"
 
Zoe flew to the left of Bruin, then waited for the opposing team to begin. "We can do this guys," She said to her team in a peppy way.
 
Sam gave herself a determined, fierce smile, and gave Estrella a lazy salute. Then, she turned to face Lily, catching the Quaffle in the process, tucking it under her right arm pit.

"You ready, g.irly?" she said casually, but with hint of determined ferocity as well, noting vaguely in her tone the fact that they were different (she herself was an tomboy, with a hint of sass, whilst Lily seemed to be a g.irly g.irl), but she could see that they would be able to get along.
She held up her left hand, and gave her a high five, a crooked smile on her face.
 
Zoe saw that Samantha got the quaffle, and raced after her, trying to get it from her. She had to swerve back and forth, because she wasn't used to trying to take a larger ball from a person. She was used to staying still and watching from above.

She went for a dive to get the quaffle, and missed horribly, nearly falling off her broom.
 
Sam saw a sudden movement from her left, and turned just in time to roll out of the way. The dive looked horrible from one angle, but from her perspective, if she hadn't moved, she wouldn't been hit - and the Quaffle wouldn't've been in her possession any longer.

She regained her balance upon the broom quickly, and pushed her dreadful broom as fast as it could go.
 
Kale flew on his idley on his broom, unsure of really what to do. Waiting for the girls to come toward him with an attack, he sat patiently in place waiting for something, anything, to happen.
 
Lily watched Sam as she caught the quaffle and gave her a high five just before Zoe made her attack. Sam had gone to an odd angle, but regained her balence before taking off on her broom. Lily chased after her and tried to get a little ahead so she could block and clear the way for Sam. She managed to get clear so Sam could pass if she needed. She was keeping her eye on Kale, since he was sitting idle on his broom watching their progress.

"Sam I'm open!" she yelled to her teammate.
 
Bruin admired how well Lily had created a diversion and then moved into a good position to receive a pass. Zoe was a little over committed for defensive purposes now, but if Bruin could pick off an errant pass he might be able to set Zoe up for a quick strike.

Bruin decided to play possum, backing off a little and making it appear that he wasn't aware of Lily's position while attempting to lure Sam into making an ill advised pass.
 
Sam was about to throw, but then she saw Bruin lurking about, and her eyes narrowed. He's trying to intercept my throw, she thought carefully. She shook her head ever so slightly to Lily, and then tilted it vaguely to where Bruin was playing possum. She streaked forward towards Kale, and flew underneath him, trying to make him loose his balance.
 
Bruin didn't know whether to curse at Sam for not falling for his little trick or be happy that she was clever enough to see it. He tried to retreat into a better defending position, but his school broom didn't respond as well as he'd hoped and he listed a little and knew that they were in trouble as both he and Zoe were out of position. "Heads up Kale. They're coming your way!", he yelled.
 
Lily noticed the slight shake of the head that Sam made and then noticed where Bruin was lurking. Damn. I shoulda seen him, she thought. She zoomed out twords where Kale was after Sam, hoping to distract him a bit so Sam could shoot on the goal.
Lily flew right above Kale's head and then circled down underneath and looped him again, this time ending right over his head.
