Danny scrambled into line like everyone else. She stood surprisingly quietly next to Bul, until it was her turn to speak. "Nuk you know my na- OH. I want on my jersey ... I guess Danny is fine? Can't really tell you my actual name ... ummm ... I want to be a runningback," she gave a wayward glance to Petro as she spoke- it seemed he wanted the same position too! Danny knew that she wasn't very strong, but she was fast! And running back had the word running in it- so it would be perfect for her!
As a bruteball came flinging towards her, she held it very gently and started petting it. Gooood bruteball. Cute bruteball. You're such a cutie wittle bitty-
Oops! "Oh! And uhm. I can run fast. And uhh ... I'm good at burning things! Oh and guitar FEARo- I'm really good at that. Totally kicked Roch's butt at it," she smiled as though this was some big competition. She didn't get that Nuk meant football strengths- not just overall strengths, but hey- she listed one good one!
Meanwhile, while all the boils were having such good fun showing off, Danny was focused on one thing.
Damien's ears.
She was done resisting. She wanted to pet them so ba- hey where was he going.
"COME BACK PUPPY," she shouted as she took off down the field after Damien. She was going to tackle him, sit on him, and then pet the s**t out of those adorable fluffy ears. Little did she know that running after him was actually showing off for her too.
((Danny, Runningback, Speed!))

As more of the students trying out began sprinting onto the field, Tro detected Seiji coming up fast. A square-root brow twitched when it became clear the ghost boil intended to tackle him. A smirk appeared on his face as Tro took this opportunity to see just how strong Seiji was. "Let's see what y' got!" He hollered.
Without breaking his stride, Petro shifted into his natural form, gaining an additional foot in length height along with more muscle mass. Tro kicked off the ground with horse hooves, his equine face grinning madly at the ghost boil.

Holy doggy treats what the Jack was happening. Demi was fine running along side Tro, the boil was fairly agile for his stature. he might have even flet jealous that the bronze skinned boil was so much taller than him to boot, but there was admiration there.
Then s**t got real and he became amazing horse. and the demon dog felt curious to check if he tasted like raisins. The hound yelped out as Tro changed directions on him and went after the ghost on the field Seiji. "yeah get him!"
and his eyes widened in horror of what was chasing him down. A rabid danny with the look or sheer murder on her face. murder for his ears. "AW ********!" he yelled out, surprisingly using some foul language for once and picked up the pace of his footsteps into something more like what he was used to.
And promptly shifted into a taller, longer, more furry and double headed form. "Get away from me, woof! he growled out and processed to dart left and right to try and shake the fire demon off his trail.
The wiggling ball however was quickly tiring out from its snarling rant and finally hit its apex in the air and began its descent down onto the field like a missile.

Hel didn’t mind shuffling in line after a few other of her fellow future team members, as when you were the youngest out of nine sisters, getting herded towards the end was something you were use to. She watched with delight as Bul took the lead and then took off down the field, followed closely by Petro, Damien, Seiji, and then Danny. By the time it was finally her turn the valkyrie was shifting from foot to foot impatiently with great anticipation. She was just itching to take off down the field as well!
The reaper stood there with her hands on her hips, and called out, “My name is Hel! I am trying for the position of safety!” She liked the idea of being able to cover and defend her team mates, plus it was a position no one seemed to be after yet, so it was a good shot in her books. “I can move swiftly on land and in the air, and will fulfill my role with determination!” Also read as purely and whole heartedly stubborn.
Now done with that part, she too, took down the field like a bat out of hell, sporting a mad grin of her own as she looked for a target to go after. It seemed it would be Petro, as she was more familiar with the horse boil and he had transformed, making him a larger and more ferocious target. Hel leapt into the air, her wings beating hard as she then lunged at the horse boil.
(Thinking speed for her as well!)

Late, late late late oh hell's bells and everyone had already begun too! This wasn't Fitness, this was... something else. Christof was very unfamiliar with Bruteball, but after a little bit of research on Barth's computer via bootube, he had become.... enlightened.
It looked.... fun.
He shifted awkwardly onto the field, watching silently as friends and acquaintances all showed their stuff. Right! Right! He wanted to try too! It just involved tackling right? Right. He gave a huff, shrugging off his jacket to free up all three arms. Was Nuk looking his way? He wasn't sure, but here he went!
There was Calder, standing there all alone. hands clenched into fists, he started his slow hobbling run that did not build up speed so much as *momentum* before hurling himself at the Kelpie in an illustrated tackle. "HURRR!"
((Christof + Strength, for whatever position he just wants to plaaaay))

Bul looked back once more when he reached the end of the field to see just how ******** he was and let out an embarrassingly ghoulish scream when both Tro AND Demi were preparing to take him into the ground. Unless he wanted to run right into them he had nowhere left to go and dropped to the ground with his arms above his head.
OH JACK THIS IS IT-
He peered up to see they had changed their target to his bro Seiji and sneered. "Heh... HEHH HEHH HEHH! EY SEIJI BETTER LOOKOUT THEY GONNA GETCHA!" he shouted down the field and actually took flight back down behind the other two boils to create a triple dog chase after his Hungry Ghost friend. Of course, Danny and Hel both joined in to disperse the wall of boils. Bul was now looking around nervously, hoping not to be spotted by another tackle-happy teammate.

Jove watched as all the other students started running after each other, it was like Nuk's little speech had told everyone but the little pup what they were doing now. The wisp just... didn't seem to get it. For a minute he just stood in place and blinked stupidly, his tail slowly uncurling and drooping towards the ground. Was he supposed to try tackling someone too? Was he supposed to grab a ball? What?
HIs clueless puppy expression turned to an ear-perked expression of curiosity as Seiji slowed to a stop beside him, and gave him a nudge. Run? Was that all?
Jove's fluffy tail curled up behind him once again. He could definitely do that!
Without waiting for Seiji to finish readying himself, Jove took off in a run towards the bruteball crate, following Seiji's indication. It was only natural for him to run fast, in spite of his 'stubby little legs', he was a wisp after all. No matter how they were followed, any decent wisp had to stay ahead of it's pursuer. Plus with all his frightened running about, Jove was in top form.
He zoomed straight towards the bruteball crate, showing no sign of stopping or swerving as he approached. Instead, he put one hand on the top and hurdled right over it in a true parkour fashion. Except... something had caught his tail as he jumped over. Something with teeth.
When he landed back on the ground he gained an extra burst of speed as he freaked out and tried to run away from the bruteball angrily gnawing on his tail fluff.
((Jove is going for Runningback, I think he has no other option. XD Also, he's got nothing but speed on him, stat-wise.))

Calder didn't know what to describe whatever it was he and Nuk had. Not friendship, but not hatred as much anymore. Nuk was no longer a threat to Shehk and whatever had happened between them didn't seem to have been good. After the moment of hair braiding, he felt a tad more accepting to the boil and didn't even mind his teasing joke - or maybe it was more of a straight observation. Either way, Calder smiled and looked away. "I have no idea what you're saying, but I make no promises." He wasn't here NOT to look after all, and if he couldn't at least enjoy himself while everyone was warming up, then that took out half the fun. Anyways, he felt he could watch more attractive boils than Nuk. The "pretty boil" that Nuk left to take a snarling ball from was certainly interesting.
Smiling, Calder trotted over to the field and warmed up, which consisted of a gentle trot around the field to get his blood going and then returned when everyone was called over for Try-outs. Calder waited, tail flickering, and watched as several boils started to ram into each other. That....looked very painful, and each time another boil collided into another, his ears went back with a visible wince. He could practically feel the bruises.
What Calder hadn't expected was to see the bulky form of his friend move onto the field, and the kelpie waved to the other, excited to see him. It seemed they were trying out for the same team! Wasn't that exciting to think they could be playing side by side. Calder felt a little warm at the idea of heated compition alongside the patchwork, and watched as he started to move over to him. "Hi Christof!" Calder called, waving as he watched the other jog over.....and then run.......and then charge....
Calder's waving slowed and his ears started to drop.
"Wait."
Christof was still running and his eyes narrowed. Wait. He wasn't! "Whooaaa. Whhhoooaa!" He called out, as if calling a horse to slow down or else it would crash. In this case, the crashing did happen, right into Calder.
Whining, Calder turned to book it, not wanting to get hurt. That didn't happen as the mass that was the Igor slammed into him and mowed him over, causing the kelpie to flatten like a pancake onto the green lawn.
Where he stayed...
..and didn't move.

Dark eyes widened as Jove took off across the grass towards the crate. Leaving the ghost boil momentarily stunned before he realized he was supposed to be running after him to keep the other, much larger boils from crushing him. "That didn't take much!" He called out after the whisp as he sprinted after him, laughing as the pup vaulted over the crate in a rather impressive little show of agility. Jove could run. He was faster then Seiji, faster then a lot of people in this school. The kid was just built for speed.
He was even faster when he noticed the ball gnawing angrily on his tail. "Oh crap, Jove!" Stop you dopey puppy! That damn ball wasn't just going to fall off.
Distraction came in the form of a newly transformed Tro barreling after him, and Bul calling out that he had better watch himself least he get himself dropped. What the jack, when did he become to the target?! He didn't even have the ball! "********!" Digging deep, the ghost boil pulled out an extra little burst of speed, but it was very likely too little too late. Tro and Demi were gaining, and they were going to catch him if he didn't think of something quick.
That something was a rather sudden stop, dropping into a crouch as both the boils came at him. Pivoting on his heel before kicking off in the opposite direct he'd come. Hopefully circling around the pair of them so he could try to cut Jove off so he could remove the ball from his tail.
Off to the side he could see Christof charging at Calder, and he couldn't help but feel a little burst of sympathy as the kelpi boil disappeared beneath the igor. That had to hurt..

Jove barely heard Seiji shouting after him, barely registered anything other than his name. It didn't matter anyway. Not when he had something on his tail he needed to shake off! He could feel it clinging to his fluff, and his folded-back ears could pick up an ever so faint growl... And the only thing running through his head was a strong desire to find somewhere safe to escape to.
He might have zoomed right off the field if he hadn't caught sight of Bul, and instinctively veered towards the older boil. It would give Seiji the perfect opportunity to catch him. Assuming the other ghost could catch up without getting himself tackled.

Hel probably forgot that this was Brute Ball tryouts for now, as it suddenly turned into an exciting match of chase and tackle. Still she was intent upon going after Petro…until she heard a ghoulish scream echo down the field from Bul. The reaper suddenly burst out into laughter at hearing such a sound coming from the monster, and she immediately switched her target, flying higher to dodge anyone who might grab her.
“I didn’t know there was a banshee trying out!” Hel called out to Bul in a friendly, mocking tone, before she tried to dive bomb him with her hands outstretched, ready to tackle.

Danny giggled and continued in her pursuit of Puppy ears. She met up with Hel part way through and said, "This is fun, huh!" Her eyes were completely lit up with excitement- Danny was in her element.
She took off ahead of Hel, in a different direction though, ditching the Bul chase to instead head for her original target. Danny was focused as ever- and this was a ghoul who couldn't focus on schoolwork for more than ten seconds. Sports were just fun to her!
Finally, she was a few feet away from Demi when she went it for the kill, and tried to tackle him as best she could. It wasn't graceful, nor was it elegant, but hey, this was bruteball. It wasn't meant to be pretty!

Hel's comment gained a frustrated blush out of the half beast but when she started to make a dive bomb for him, Bul neither screamed nor ran. Kneeling some, he dug his toes into the ground a bit and wound his tail up before springing up to strike with Hel in the air. Considering he couldn't fly it wasn't the safest ideas but the ghoul was enough of a safety(AHAHAHHA GET IT????!) grip to avoid falling back down and breaking a leg. That is if she chose to remain afloat after their head on collision.

Ooh, confrontation! The valkyrie was simply delighted as Bul poised himself to strike back at her. Yes, another boil who wasn’t afraid to go after a ghoul! When the boil leapt up at her, Hel tucked her wings against her body with all intent to fall back to the ground after they collided. As tempting as it was to try and take Bul up into the air, she was no where near able to carry someone yet (possibly lucky for him).
Hel laughed like a loon as she collided with the boil, and wrapped her arms tightly around whatever she could grab of him.
