HEROES V VILLAINS

It's a very special day for Ebonhide Quidditch! Two birthdays for the price of one! In honor of the event, captains Decourt and Quayle have organized a laid-back game of Quidditch, just for fun. At Sam's suggestion, they have themed this game after comic book heroes and villains, although their grasp of muggle pop culture is... tenuous, at best.

Clem's baked frosted sugar cookies patterned with superhero logos rendered from her memory, and almost half of them are recognizable. At least they taste good.

Ulysses took point on organizing the game, and gives everyone their specially charmed jerseys before the game. Heroes are in white and gold, and villains are in black and red.

HIGHLIGHTS

Heroes: Chasers Ulysses, Solo, Ari, and Bash. Beaters Casper and Nia.
Keeper Wilde. Seeker Sam. Cheerleader Austin. Villains: Chasers Clem, Archie, Vee, and Nisha. Beaters Corrigan and Dinah. Keeper Paris. Seeker Tuesday. Cheerleader Cameron.

On the Heroes team, Solomon scored 3 goals, Ulysses scored 3 goals, and Ari and Bash both scored one goal. On the Villains team, Clem scored 4 goals, Archie and Nisha both scored 2 goals, and Vee scored none ("You're doing great!!!!" - Clem)

Wilde blocked seven shots. Paris blocked three.

Ari, Nia, Tuesday, Corrigan, and Archie were all hit by bludgers or otherwised injured, the details of which are up to you guys.

After a very close game, villains take the win 80-130 when Tuesday snatches the snitch.

Ari didn't really want to be here or play the game, but got hassled into it by Clem and Ulysses because they were a player short. Surprisingly, she managed not to be dead weight, but did not handle being hit by a bludger well. What the fuck. Why do you all play this sport. She's going to go die.

Tuesday loudly proclaims herself as a seeker of all things evil, and is generally too delighted during this game to really notice when a bludger careens toward her back, hitting her as she belatedly flies straight up on her broom to avoid it. And okay, it hurts. And okay, she calms a little after that. When she catches the snitch, she presents it, glowing, to Corrigan as a proper birthday tribute. She doesn’t celebrate this time, but tries to exude her best Imitation Wainwright “yeah of course I caught it” attitude. She’s not there yet.

Sorry your cheerleader didn't encourage and inspire you enough heroes. His bad.

Cameron takes partial credit for the villain victory because he is so! darn! encouraging!!

Austin got too distracted pointing out that these aren't even superhero logos. This one looks like the AOL logo, is this for AOLman, powered by chatrooms and free discs sent through the mail?
