So fuckin glad this is our last year.

[Coppertale Quidditch]

K, I wanna talk our approach again. It's been a long fuckin winter, and this is gonna be the test of the hours we've put in. First, the weather sucks. All of us need to get used to flying in fuckin arctic conditions for up to three hours. Kit up properly, cast your warming charms, know when you gotta conserve strength. Everyone's back on drills this week, so we can do passes, catches, hits and blocks even when our fingers are fuckin chipping off from frostbite.

Chasers, it's the original three and Dixon on backup. I want the four of us to go through plays so we're able to nail anything, no matter which one of us gets taken out. If any of us get taken out. If you fuckin let Ribbonfin of all fuckin teams take out two of us in one game I'll fuckin make all of us run 20 min laps in the fuckin snow for a week straight.

Beaters, their Chasers are their weak point. If you think you can break Delgado or Evercreech, that would be perfect, but don't chase that if you're not confident. We want our Chasers to score high early, cause that's the way to get under their Keeper's skin. Get those Bludgers and keep their Chasers from being able to coordinate.

Keeper, your job's easy if the Chasers play right, and hard if we play wrong. You'll be with us when we practice plays. Hopefully, you'll get a good workout if we're changing it up enough. I want your eyes open for our weaknesses, okay? Tell me as soon as you see something we gotta work on. You know enough now to know when a Chaser isn't pulling their fuckin weight.

Worse to comes to worst, Ashworth, you're on hand to fill in as Beater, Keeper or Seeker. If they've got any fuckin sense, they'll go for our Seeker, so if they try, you take them on a ride, Wainwright. I know it's not your forte, but if you get the chance to attract fire from their Beaters, go for it. I wanna squeeze in more dodging drills with you, Barringer and Meer.

[Clementine]

Hey. You give a shit about this dance?

[Ro]

When are you free next week? I got enough practice scheduled to guarantee a half-dozen Bludger concussions by Saturday, but it should be OK after the game. [...] You think these fuckin strangers could trick you into thinking they're me?

[cygninae]

Yeah ok.

I could do a feint 20m in. See if they try something.

Copperteam

[threatens]

Could work. What's your read on Popplestone? How's she stand up as competition?

[neattrick]

really?? i'm sad we're gonna miss next year's zombie apocalypse

[threatens]

My brother and your cousin hears that, they're gonna get ideas.

[neattrick]

too late we're all super doomed

[threatens]

If I turn into a zombie for graduation, you better kill the shit out of me.

[neattrick]

i wouldn't even hesitate

[threatens]

You better dedicate a game to me if your murder skills get you a starting position your first year.

[neattrick]

if anything a murder would probably get me ARRESTED???

Copperteam

[heathclifflacey]

You got it, boss! I'm pumped! Let's get back to it. And no way a RIBBONFIN Beater's taking me out.

[...]

[Sy]

SO. I know I'm the WEAK LI
Anything you guys have been working on with the school team that I should

Copperteam

[threatens]

I'm fuckin counting on that. You're probably the best at taking hits out of all of us.

Clem/Sy

[neattrick]

i'll go if you want to.

Clem/Sy

[threatens]

Not what I asked.

Clem/Sy

[neattrick]

okay fine, basically same answer though: i want to go if you do.

mostly i just wanna hang out with you. i don't really care what we do.

Clem/Sy

[threatens]

Yeah? [...] Well shit, Decourt. Me too.

If we blow this one off, I'll go to prom with you. Last year, right?

Clem/Sy

[neattrick]

sounds like a deal. maybe they'll have it somewhere cooler than an old house this time

Clem/Sy

[threatens]

Dude. If it's somewhere really high, you know someone's gonna get drunk enough to try to jump off it.

Clem/Sy

[neattrick]

i would've jumped off the old house if it weren't raining

Stokers

[browbeats]

I'm going to start making you wear a helmet. I know too much about head injuries now and I don't even know that much.

Thursday. Between Herbology and dinner. If that doesn't work you're going to have to wait at least a month.

[...] No. I don't th I doubt Because I [...] There's no way any of them are as annoying as you.

Stokers

[threatens]

Ro, no one fuckin wears a helmet unless they wanna look like a tool.

Shit, this is exactly fuckin why I need to book time with my twin a week in advance. Whatever. I've been working on these [...] bracelets, I guess. In Artificing. Based on the plans you showed me.

Does it make me a bad person that I worry If something in the fuckin forest used me again to I mean, what if I fuck up [...] K. Cool.

Stokers

[browbeats]

Tools who don't end up with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

Do you need me to make a copy of my schedule for you? I give one to my girls so they can pencil in their own scolding. [...] But, like, anything significant to report? Is the unicorn full of shit?

[...] Unless you're trying to tell me it already happened.

Stokers

[threatens]

There's like a potion for that, right?

Good idea, except you know I'd lose your schedule within two days. Easier just to tell you to talk to me. And it's like... kinda cool? You touch one, and you can sorta feel it on the other, but I don't think it's right yet. I can't test it on just me, so.

No! [...] I dunno. That shit during October, you remember? When people thought I was fuckin around in the woods again. What if it was me? What if it tries to use me again?

Stokers

[browbeats]

Possibly. But most of the time they can only diagnose it after death, so the usual treatment is embalming fluid.

Oh thank fuck I'm not completely useless in that cla That's honestly [...] way better than I thought you were going to say. I have Hermeticism tomorrow. Maybe you could bring them to Charms or DADA so I can see what you mean and I can start digging into the spellwork during class. Then when we actually have a fucking second we can fuck around with them in the shed.

Of course I remember, and of course it will. I'm not the optimist here to lie about this, I'm pretty sure it'll use you and me and everyone else. You just got to be an early test case. [...] Lucky us you.

Copperteam

[dinahdanger]

I'm a Quidditch MACHINE, I'm ready to go til I LITERALLY DROP AND DIE.

Copperteam

[uponawire]

Please try not to drop or die, schatz.

Copperteam

[dinahdanger]

I mean I'll try but the point is I'M READY BETTY

Copperteam

[threatens]

Listen to Roxie! If you fuckin die, we have no one to sub in for you.

[...] Anything short of dying, totally fine tho.

Copperteam

[dinahdanger]

I can still play in a coma boss IT'S COOL

Copperteam

[threatens]

No you can't! You'll have [...] Chromatic Traumatic Encephalophaly and you'll fuckin die. Not like, right away, but [...] shit, I guess if you don't die until the game is over no fuck just don't do it, Dixon. Break anything else but your skull, k?

Copperteam

[dinahdanger]

Whoa. Sounds colourful.

BUT FINE I'm gonna break my butt.

Copperteam

[godzillabutworse]

Aye aye!! Hey if you WANT I can just fly SUPES close to their chasers so if a bludger hits me and turns me into RED MIST it'll take THEM out TOO.

Copperteam

[threatens]

You know what? Willing to try that as a strategy. Let's get some test runs with it, and you see if you can get Roxie to take me or Lacey out.

Copperteam

[godzillabutworse]

SICK OK!! HEY I'll even try to give em a REASON to wanna target me.

Copperteam

[dinahdanger]

D U D E you're gonna DIE for SURE

What song do you want at your funeral???

Re: Copperteam

[godzillabutworse]

F I N A L L Y.

you DEFFO gotta play me out to Uptown Funk.

Copperteam

[dinahdanger]

DON'T BELIEVE ME JUST WATCH

as we launch you into the sun

Copperteam

[godzillabutworse]

AWW DINAH you even remembered how I want to be INTERRED!!

I'm getting SO vaporized.

Copperteam

[dinahdanger]

BESTIES THRU DEATHTIES!!!

Copperteam

[threatens]

Flashing lights not allowed during matches, Lewis.

Copperteam

[godzillabutworse]

My dreams of being mistaken for a UFO are DASHED.

Copperteam

[ashworthless]

If you're all taken out, promise I'll be in as many places at once I can. But it definitely won't come to that.

Copperteam

[threatens]

We end up running with only six players, it's gonna be a guaranteed shitshow. I mean, unless we can take them down to only five.

[...] Fuck. Maybe we really should be wearing helmets.

Copperteam

[ashworthless]

Or just take two of them out first.

Copperteam

[uponawire]

I'll see if Charlotte wants to get in an extra practice or two. See if we can figure out how to break some people in new an creative ways.

Copperteam

[threatens]

That's the kinda initiative I wanna see. Most bloodthirsty team wins, y'know? Even if we are up against Ribbonfin.

Copperteam

[uponawire]

I don’t want to kill anybody. I just want to lightly maim them. Creatively.

Copperteam

[meerigold]

Always. Why stop at two? If we start now, all their bones will be healed by the game.

Copperteam

[uponawire]

That would be ideal. We’re going to need them. Especially since our Sophomores are aiming to kill themselves.
