Maritess had never been so glad she got a groanspring account. While she made a few mistakes when she was first starting out with it, the winged vampire eventually got the hang of the site. It was through groanspring that she learned about the Track Team's first practice. So here she was, at the Track Field, in her uniform. She was lightly relieved to find there weren't a lot other students on the field. It meant she wasn't late. Well, not too late. It didn't make her feel any less certainly nervous, though. Especially when she saw Lucien. She really should have tried harder to get in touch with Coralie about the Frekuent Flyers. but that was for another club and right now, Track should be the only thing on her mind. After giving Chuppi a big smile and a wave, she went up to the air element, "As soon as practice is over, I promise I'll talk to Coralie about the Freakuent Flyers. I'm excited about it as much as I am Track," she told Lucien just before she herself began to limber up.

Jove ZOOMED across the field towards the track practice.
He wore his gym uniform, a baggy grey t-shirt that hung off him like a tent, plus grey pants he had to materialize himself since the school-provided trousers would slip right off his little hips. There were no shoes on his feet, the little ghost preferred barefoot. It may have looked like he was merely an eager student attempting to arrive on time for tryouts, but as of yet, Jove didn't even know the school had a track team.
In actuality, he was firmly entrenched in FULL FLIGHT MODE after another student had made to grab at him during a game of casketball. The little ghost had dropped the ball and ran, the frantic fleeing ending only when he made a dive under the bleachers. A nice, sheltered, overgrown place where nobody would find him.
Except that was when he realized the bleachers were not empty, and there were students on the field.

Tybalt cursed as he raced towards the track field. He was late! Why? Because as per usual, he forgot to check his groanspring. How else? Today was the one day he decided to sleep in. Go figure! Luckily for him, running on all fours, in his natural form, was far faster than running on two legs. It wouldn't take long to get there, but he had already slept in late and then he had to take the time to deal with his dog minipets. Who would have prevented him from leaving otherwise. Not that he could blame them. They weren't ghosts, so they needed their food and to do their... business...
Rounding the last corner, he saw the field. It was tidier than before he noticed, while making a mental note that he should help out more with the maintenance of the field. There were also a handful of students there, including one up on the bleachers. A friend perhaps, probably to route for a friend or something. Though he swore he recognized him.
"Chuppi!" He called, as he made one last leap into the air; eating as much distance as he possibly could, while shifting back into his humanoid form and landing with practiced grace before the track team captain. "I'm sorry I'm late! I didn't get your message until late this morning!" At least he wasn't out of breath. One of the many benefits of being a ghost.

Tsetsiliya was all nerves again when she saw the notice for track team tryouts on her Groanspring. She was determined to do it, seeing as she had missed out on track at her last school (due to certain circumstances). But she wouldn't chicken out this time, dear Jack she wouldn't! It had certainly taken some coaxing on her part though - the auditions for the school play hadn't gone that well, after all, but Tsetsiliya was not one to let nerves bar her completely from things she wanted to do.
It was going to be her day, she had to go, go, go!
So, with hair tied in a high, long ponytail and legs clad in her overly loose gym shorts, she followed those who wandered down to the track field and proceeded to begin her warm ups. The sign-up sheet she kept tucked in the pocket, ready to be presented as soon as she was properly warm.Form Student Name: Tsetsiliya Pavlova

"Ah yes -thank you. And thank you as well."
There were quite a few more people now out on the field and stretching, many of them doing good and others not so much. They all handed their forms to Temes and she watched as Calder helped out, though her cheeks turned a bit green when Tybalt came running up and apologized for being late. The monster took it in stride and with a smile considering she'd almost forgotten he'd be there. Awkward. Still she could easily distract herself with the paperwork and getting people underway since they all seemed to be just milling around.
"Um . . . if you'd like, please go ahead and begin trying out for what events you would like to do in the future. Myself will keep track of what you have done, so go for it!"

Maritess continued to stretch and limber up her arms as she waited for further instructions from the captain and vice-captain. She did shoulder rolls, then neck rolls, not wanting to injure herself for when she began her practice for the javelin throws. Maybe she should check out her competition. Yes, they were on the same team but not everyone would be first-stringers, would they? After finding out Iggy was on the track but thankfully for pumpkin toss (the ghoul gargoyle showed she was really strong during Battle of the Bands), Maritess felt mildly protective (perhaps defensive would be a better word) of her event. From the corner of her eye, she watched the other students try out.
Unfortunately, she'd been too preoccupied in watching the other students, she failed to watch her own performance. She overstretched her arms overhead and ended up pulling a shoulder muscle. "Ack!" she yelped louder than she wanted, her hand clutching at the sore spot. It was a few moments before she braved an attempt to move her arm again. It was mobile but she winced slightly from the pain each time she did move.

After Chuppi's quick response, Riley moved on and headed to run the marathon. This was her favorite of all of the trials, and she felt she would excel at it - of course, she had not taken into account the strain in her leg. It was fresh, and she realized as soon as she'd begun that she would not be able to run this particular marathon. It would only cause further injury, which could result in being permanent. She bowed out quickly enough, and limped back to the bleachers for a moment to sit beside Jericho.
This is most certainly not how I expected this day to go. She grumbled, as she rubbed the sprain deep in her leg and glared at the field. She was an excellent runner, after all - this should have been cake. There was no excuse for it.

The she-wolf smiled at the little chupacabra before heading over to get ready for trying the marathon run first. Depending on how this one went, LW wasn't sure yet if she would be able to get in a sprint try out as well. But she was determined to try at the very least. She noticed that Riley was also trying out as well and watched her attempt it once. The she-wolf winced when the demoness seemed to bow out. Oh man, had she pulled something or injured herself too? LW crossed her fingers and hoped to do alright. But really, she wouldn't feel too disappointed if she failed.
Succeeding would have been nice though. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be this time around. She started off alright, but then her lower back chose that moment to send up a sharp pain that made her falter in her step and stop all together. "Jackdamnit." She growled softly to herself. It hurt! And she hadn't been able to succeed here. LW sighed heavily and walked slowly back to the start.

Tess rolled her shoulders gingerly, wincing with each motion but she'd tough it out. That was enough warming up, she decided, hands on the closest equivalent of her hips. Crimson eyes began to scan the field, searching for the javelin she would be practicing with. But after giving the available equipment a careful look three times, she realized there weren't any? Maybe they weren't brought out?
Biting her lower lip, the undead ghoul flew towards the chupacabra, "U-uh, Chuppi, I know you're busy but, um, I noticed there weren't any javelins or pumpkins?" She gestured towards the equipment, while her other hand nervously tugged at the hem of her uniform.

Tybalt returned Chuppi's smile with another of his own, before peering at the forms she held in her grasp. Looks like they had some new track members. Some of them looked kind of promising too. Maybe the idea of kicking their rivals a** wasn't too far a dream after all? Or so he thought---up until he saw a familiar name written on one of the forms.
"Wait a sec... is that..." He tugged a little at the form in an attempt to get a better view of the name and almost cringed when he had. Mei-xiu. Jack damn it! She was here? Since when? Did she even like track?
"Ugh! Ditch that one!" He grumbled, releasing the form with a disgusted look on his face. Not that he could really reject the living doll's try-out form anyways.
