 Right. So.

Ravenclaw team. This is for you.

We're going to be on the pitch Sunday for some practice, training, whatever you want to call it. Personally I'm going with boot camp.

I'm saying training camp because we're going to be on that pitch all day. From 9 till dinner, with a break for lunch. I'm going to see what I can do about getting us things to snack on while we're there.

We're going to run through plays that I've mocked up based on everyone's skills, tweaking and/or maintaining brooms, and general training.

This is how we're going to be doing things up until our first match. And when we win, I'll get Mercer's approval for a party for the tower.

And if I can find some not stupid team bonding things we'll do those too. But they're all looking stupid so far.

And no trying to back out, Parker. Wining matches is good for confidence.

Everyone else can show up if they like to cheer us on, and to watch for any of the houses trying to sneak a peak at what we're doing. Surprise is a great offensive strategy.

[When it comes to coming out on top, Tony can be a very serious boy.]

Don't bring your goats.

Aye aye Captain. I'll be there with bells on.


...only not literally.

[arrogantalloy]

Actually, bells are an interesting idea there. Well, not for you though.

[its_cor_aline]

Oh snap, what have I done?

Anyways, I'll bring snacks and all of my notes from the past few years.

[arrogantalloy]

Just an idea for a distraction technique. It might not work but, hey giving it a go never hurt.

That'll be great, and handy. Thanks.

[its_cor_aline]

It's a good idea. Maybe we should try some sensory deprivation techniques too. Trying to see in the rain can be pretty crappy.

No problem. Know the enemy and all that stuff.

[arrogantalloy]

That's already on the books, but good thinking there.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Really, this Sunday?

[arrogantalloy]

What's wrong with this Sunday?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

It's Hogsmeade this weekend.

[arrogantalloy]

So?

[Pause]

Oh, yeah, it's your first time there. Aren't you and parakeet doing everything on Saturday anyway?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Don't call him parakeet.

[arrogantalloy]

Why not? It's cute and endearing.

[speterman]

I'm not going to.

To back out I mean.

[arrogantalloy]

Good, great. I'll see you there good and early then.

[speterman]

Good and early. Right. :)

Also, future note, telling someone not to back out in front of the whole team generally isn't good for their confidence.

[arrogantalloy]

It was just a reminder.

[doctorkishitani]

I probably won't be watching your training session, but I do wish you the best of luck!

[arrogantalloy]

Too much homework or are we getting funky with Pot Pie?

[doctorkishitani]

I'm not exactly sure of what that meant, but if I were to hazard a guess, I would say it was a colloquialism.

[Filtered to Tony]

And possibly a suggestive one.

But whatever the case, I've just never really had much of an interest in Quidditch. However, I do wish you success in all your endeavours. I feel you're earning it.

[arrogantalloy]

More than just a colloquialism.

[Filter.]

Oh yeah, very suggestive. But only because you're a friend, and love should be kept alive.

You at least going to cheer at matches?

[Filtered]

[doctorkishitani]

Forgive me. It's hard to keep track of figures of speech sometimes.

I agree entirely. In fact, I can assure you that love is very much alive as far as I'm concerned. How are you?

And I'll definitely be attending all of your matches. But primarily because you're a friend.

/late...ish?

[fuckyeahdeathrays]

Provided I have the time, I'll see if I can stay to watch some part.

Never too late.

[arrogantalloy]

Can't say I wont be looking forward to you cheering the team on at practice.

^__^

[fuckyeahdeathrays]

Thank you.

I've never actually seen a full team practice, so it'll be interesting.

[arrogantalloy]

It'll be bossy and sweat pouringly interesting I hope.
