Open Y42 S1 Ilvermorny Quidditch Practice

Dion hit the bludger with intent to hit the seeker captain, but he hit the chaser captain instead. Oooh, he was gonna be in it now, he thought, trying to look solemn and giving her a salute.

Dion pointedly did not hit the next bludger anywhere near the captain, suspecting she might hex him off his broom. Instead it hit no one, drifting aimlessly out into the open. Poetic, really.
 
Zoey continued to fly around looking for bludgers. She wasn't having much luck as the older beater and she tried not to be jealous but it wasn't really working.
 
Micha winced as Abigail got hit by a bludger but he didn't have time to say anything before he spotted the snitch. Without wasting a second he flew after it as fast as he could. After a short chase me grabbed the snitch out of the air and held it up and let out a relieved sigh.
 
Dion missed a bludger in celebration.
 
Zoey sighed and kept looking for a bludger to hit.
 
Micha let go of the snitch and paused for a moment to let it get a head start before he started looking again. He was relieved to have caught the snitch at least once so early in practice but he knew it would take more than a lucky catch to win their next game.
 
Zoey finally saw another bludger and raced to hit it before she missed her shot. But in her rush her aim was clumsy and she missed it anyways.
 
Micha looked for the snitch.
 
Felicity wasn't exactly looking forward to see how Abigail was as one of their new captains this year, she'd much rather just have Micha again, but she was somewhat curious to see if maybe she could relax now that she was the top dog on the team or not. She shouldn't have been surprised when Abigail immediately had them running laps (stupid when they'd be on their broom the whole game!) and Felicity made a show of dragging her feet, barely picking up speed from a walk as she circled the pitch. It meant she took a long while to join the team in the air but she liked to think she was making a point here or something.

Once she was finally on her broom, one of the new beaters immediately knocked a bludger her way before Flick had even gotten her bat ready and Felicity groaned. "Ugh, today sucks so hard already," she groused, trying to shake off the bludger and get back into the swing with the new team members including a new beater partner. She missed Mykaela but at least Dion managed to hit Abigail, which did cheer Flick up some, as did Micha catching the snitch, which she managed to rouse up some enthusiastic cheering for before slowing getting going on her broom.
 
Zoey was getting annoyed by all of her misses. She had to hit something again eventually she hoped.
 
Micha continued his search.
 
Dion saw an opportunity, focused his shot, and was very pleased to directly hit the other captain and seeker with it. He kept his cheering to a minimum, but he might've smirked just a little bit. @Micha Kovac

Flick rounded on a bludger, keen to get some of her frustration out on it as she took a hard swing. She spotted Gwydion take a swing just as she was and was ready to comment on their coordination until she realized he was aiming for poor Micha. She turned her head to do something, maybe warn Micha, but it was too late and now her own swing had gone wide, sending the bludger into @Yoo Hyun Ki by mistake.

Dion idly swung his arms, not hitting any bludgers. But seeing Flick hit a bludger at their keeper at the same time made him grin, and he gave her a thumbs-up.
 
Noah caught the quaffle when it was tossed out and tucked it under his arm as he flew around the pitch.
 
Noah made another shot at the hoops but missed.
 
Felicity preened when Gwydion gave her a thumbs up, returning the gesture with a bright smile. Sure it'd been an accidental hit but it was still a hit. Feeling her enthusiasm for the new team arrangment return some, she readied her bat for another bludger.
 
Dion grinned. This was pretty fun. Even when he wasn't hitting bludgers, or wasn't hitting them at people, like right now, he thought he could really enjoy this.
 
Felicity tried to keep up her good mood, ignoring the fact that her legs were sore from the lap around the pitch and the bludger from earlier still, which was annoying. She took a hard swing at a passing bludger, forgetting until it was too late that she should probably be aiming. That bludger had its own plans though, careening straight into poor @Noah Webb who'd slowed down for his shot at the hoops. "Oops, sorry, Noah! I mean, I meant to do that."

Micha was feeling good about practice so far and completely missed the bludger coming his way until it crashed into his side. He let out a choking sound and tried to stay upright. He shot Gwydion a thumbs up and tried to keep flying.
 
Zoey huffed as the other beaters seemed to have better luck than her. It was getting annoying now.
 
Actually focusing this time, Felicity didn't waste time catching up to the other bludger, taking aim this time to send it to her new partner @Gwydion Amos, if only as an excuse to fly over to 'check' on him. "Heads up!" She called to him, flying closer. "You're pretty good already, did you play a lot of Quidditch in England or whatever? That's where your from, right?" She asked as she turned her broom.

Dion reacted too slowly and saw a bludger coming towards him, hitting him in the shoulder. He shook his arm out, whipping around to attempt to hit the bludger back at his partner in retaliation but it went wide and it hit @Nabi Mun instead. He felt a little bad about that one, wincing slightly. "Oof." She was so tiny, it seemed like the collision might throw her off her broom. He looked over to check that she was okay, before turning back to Felicity with a shrug. "Not too bad yourself." He returned the compliment, nodding. "Aye, Wales. Played for Slytherin at Hogwarts." He'd mostly been on the bench, but she didn't need to know that.

Felicity had to veer away slightly as Gwydion managed to still hit the bludger she'd sent his way, even more impressed now, especially when he returned the compliment. "Ohh, Wales, that sounds cool!" She enthuased, fixing her hair before catching sight of the other bludger heading their way. "Do you like America though? I bet it's pretty different," she said, batting at the bludger as it came closer, realizing belatedly she'd hit it right towards @Zoey Hawkins as she'd been far more interested in chatting again than playing.
