Welcome to Gaia! ::

Weep for yourself, my man...
You'll never be what is in your heart.
Weep, little lion man...
You're not as brave as you were at the start.

Toby could tell just from watching that the bludger was probably going to miss Leo, but Ronna still managed to intercept it and send it back his way. It slammed solidly into his left knee while he tried to dodge it, and he figured it was only pure luck that he didn't hear a crack. His knee was throbbing like hell, and he gritted his teeth as he decided to send a bludger, Rosabella, who'd come in late's, way.

Aiming at: Tanya Cherri



Truth be told, Ronna was not impressed with Alex's repetitive lateness, and the petty side of her wished Alex and Rosabella hadn't been placed on her team so she could aim bludgers at the both of them. Especially Alex. Alex basically spent her entire entrance batting her eyes at Crash and kept looking to his approval with that gag worthy-so obvious flirting. Ronna really, really wanted to hit a bludger at the girl. Granted, Ronna was fully aware of the fact Crash was attractive-he was basically the epitome of a Gryffindor and of course there was the fact he was just so American. And, he was the first guy at Hogwarts she had, had a crush on. And there was the apple incident during her summer before her third year. Honestly, she might have still had a crush on him if she hadn't decided two years ago when she blurted out to him what happened to her father and he had that awkward look and then just bailed-as if he didn't trust her to keep it together or something. And, Toby was a really, really good kisser so she had gotten over it. Most of the many Gryffindor girls who had crushed on Crash moved on once he either remained too oblivious to the girl's feelings or the girl found some guy who worked better for her-for whatever reason. Not that Ronna ever suspected Crash of being a horrible person-she was sure whatever person he end up with (if he chose that route) would work out well enough for the other party, at least.

She sighed as she looked to Alex for a moment, and debated if Alex was still just attracted to Crash, or if she was really, really attracted to him and decided to finally take more active measures. Well, at least her break-up with Theo had been a while. Maybe the time gave her some more maturity about relationships. Maybe? Regardless, if that eye-batting worked completely in Alex's placement Ronna was confident she would strangle both Crash and Toby.

And speaking of Toby, she couldn't help but wince slightly as he failed to dodge her bludger and then missed the next bludger. He really did have awful luck. She decided as she aimed the next bludger-that maybe she should just lay off Toby for a while, knocking out the vice-captain probably looked bad. Instead she aimed at Tanya Cherri one of the stronger chasers over on the gold team.

'Did that just happen?' thought Dani as she saw Rosabella sling the Quaffle toward her. They were on opposing teams, and yet...

Before she could think to capitalize on the mistake, Nina snagged the malformed spheroid out of the air, and started to race back toward the goals Alex was defending.

Knowing the younger girl was likely to have the Quaffle snatched from her clutches, Dani positioned herself so she could be passed to, or move in to counter somebody else's attempt.

Stealing the ball back Leonette raced to the goals. She was glad to be back in it. Now she just needed to get back to the goal. If she could score it would certainly make the fifth year feel better about herself. Not that she wasn't okay with her performance thus far, just that it could be better... much better.

Toby did have to wonder why his luck always seemed so crappy during tryouts. Honestly, he was lucky he was now vice captain and kinda had to make the team, otherwise he'd be dead in the water. He knew he could play well- he did much better in games, but when it came down to playing against his own team... He seemed to get the s**t beat out of him by his own bludgers more often that not. Toby missed the bludger he'd intended to send at Rosabella, and it smashed into his right arm instead. He had no idea what the damage was. He was afraid to look to see if it was dislocated. If it was dislocated he was gonna be pissed. That meant he'd have to try to pop it back in himself or make someone else do it. He wasn't going all the way to the infirmary with his shoulder halfway down his arm. He refused to look at for right now, and instead moved to defend Tanya and re-direct the bludger back at Ronna.

Dodging Tanya, Leonette advanced closer to the goals. Smiling as she sped off down the field the fifth year couldn't be happier. Flying at fast speeds she was almost to the goal where she would take that shot. Besides nothing felt better then flying whether it was just for transportation or a friendly game of Quidditch.

Arianna continued to watch the Quaffle move closer to her goal carried by Leo. Tanya attempted to steal it away but missed. Leo was almost there but Ari was ready. She jumped a bit hearing Crash's voice everyone to stop. Ari followed everyone down to meet up. She glanced around at everyone they all looked a little banged up. The previous set of beaters had done a fantastic job.

After the short interlude the Captain dished out new positions. Though there were only a few changes. Ari was pulled from Keeping and was given a Beater position. She picked up the bat and swung it a couple of times feeling the weight and balance. She smiled at her fellow teammates, "I'll do my best." She had never played Beater before but she looked at it as a challenge like it was something new to learn and grow from. She kicked off the ground following everyone into the air all the while still swinging the bat.
