WARDED TO ULYSSES QUAYLE

1. you're taking up TOO MUCH TIME at our practices with your STUPID DRILLS. everyone knows how to CATCH BALLS, quayle. A) stop B) schedule your own conditioning practices or C) i will schedule additional TACTICAL PRACTICES

2. can we try putting solomon on point for awhile? i want to see how he does and if it's good we should try playing our chasers more aggressively. i want to average 13 goals a game which i think is DOABLE? we did about 12 last year or 11 without that game when nobody caught the snitch. [...] not that i don't think tuesday can catch snitches but you know. just in case

3. am i the only person who's worried about avery davenport and her fucking MYSTERY TEAM??? we'll get to see them play azurcrest before we have to play them at least but who knows what the fuck that chaser team's going to be doing. IF avery tries to run them like last year's chasers they're going to crash and burn, right? nobody flies like those girls did. but she's not an idiot and if she plays to their strengths... we're going to have to figure out what their strengths are. (like do you know if the transfer student's played before??)

days to Coppertale v Ebonhide game: 19
sylvester status: not being weird and it's making me suspicious

WARDED TO TUESDAY NORTH

hey kiddo. what do your monday afternoons look like?

You know, if I wanted to read pages of half-baked rambling, I would've just gotten me a subscription to the Youngblood newsletter.

TL;DR

1. you're ridiculous and you need to dial it down
2. can solomon score goals? inquiring minds want to know
3. we have no idea what avery's chasers play like
4. you have 20 days to make sure we win the coppertale game

I've got twenty da Alright, well, number one — running drills is what made this team. Now, if you wanna spit in the face of everything Leo worked towards, you can go right ahead, but me, I'm gonna keep pushing their noses to that grindstone.

We've got two new players on first string, plus a new reserve. We don't lay those foundations now, I guarantee you, one of em's gonna freeze up the second shit gets messy.

you can have time to do your drills but you didn't need to DOUBLE DOWN. leo didn't even make us do this many

Casper's working with Corrigan, right? I can schedule some extra practices with Tuesday for seeker stuff

Have you got some sort of brain damage? Compared to Leo, I'm just running warm-ups. Don't you remember that time we ran reverse passes for hours and hours and hours?

[...] Yeah. Yeah, that's a good call. [...] God, that girl's really something on a broom, huh?

you're taking up HALF OUR PRACTICE TIME

[...] she's pretty good yeah

Well, gee, maybe that's 'cause I'm one half of this goddamn captaincy.

[...] [...] It's [...] smart of you to spend the extra time with her. Doesn't take much when you've got that kind of talent.

hey how about 15 for conditioning, 30 for your drills, 45 for running plays

a LITTLE Discipline never hurts. i mean, you've seen what a bad attention span can do to a very good seeker

Edited 2017-09-18 20:40 (UTC)

Fine. [...] But I want one practice a month where we can focus on the basics.

And I guess I can see the importance of tactics. We're gonna have to give her a little more instruction than just "catch the snitch."

~~uuuugh~~ fine. but it's the practices the week after we play a match so we can focus on strategy leading up to the games.

"but wait at least 30 minutes"

Deal.

Consider taking your eyes off that prize for long enough that the Chasers can, I don't know, throw a Quaffle or two?

OR 13 PER GAME

Edited 2017-09-18 20:53 (UTC)

I reckon that's doable.

if we do switch around our chaser tactics we should wait for the ribbonfin game

My boy can handle point. Leo wouldn't've run him with the big dogs if he couldn't.

~~unless he thinks it's like "too mean" to steal goals from you or whatever~~ okay let's work with him at chaser practice

Might take him a practice or two to get into the swing of things, now. He's been on assists for a while.

let's start after the coppertale game. he'll still have a month to get into it.

I'd [...] rather take the lead for that match, anyhow.

i HATE to jinx our own team, my dear sweet award-winning ebonhide, my life's greatest accomplishment, but there's no way you'll out-score Sy this time either

Fuck you. You've got no evidence of that.

he's just better looking and more athletic than you. it's not your fault.

You don't need looks to score goals, Decourt.

i mean obviously or you wouldn't get any

~~Also, I look JUST FI~~ Least I'm not legally a midget.

I have Archery Club at four. I can cancel if you need me to!

Is something wrong?

me too me too. i haven't actually GONE yet this year but i signed up

NOTHING WRONG but if you don't have class before archery I can book the pitch for SUPER SECRET SEEKER PRACTICE

Have you ever shot arrows From brooms??
It's Very fun. That's the only reason I joined.

~~OH. thank~~ I don't have classes! I'd definitely like to practice more.
The first game is soon.
Coppertale's Seeker is [...] Occasionally very good, isn't he.

Edited 2017-09-18 20:27 (UTC)

NO but now I WANT to.

I used to play seeker at Ilvermorny. I'm a little rusty but hopefully i can still give you a run for your money.

he's VERY good. he had a rough last few games last year but don't let that color your impression of him.

They never let me at school, Anyway. Maybe we could do arrow drills.

No. I know he's good. That's why I want to practice. I want to be Better. I'll practice whenever. I've been trying, by myself, when the pitch is free, but it's a Little hard to throw things at myself.

There's gotta be a way to charm arrows so they're not dangerous. This is happening

Okay, you're on. And we're using a real snitch. you've graduated past golf balls
