Julius pulled up as Jess rolled and came out yelping "Caught it!" with the golden snitch struggling in her hand. Julius frowned. Glanced to his other teammates, bit a lip realizing if he had been better he could have caught the snitch long before Jess even had the chance to spot it, but no he screwed up and cost the team the game. He quickly landed, took a deep breath and walked off the field, purposely not making eye contact frustrated with himself way more than anyone else.

{OoC: Julius exits.}

                                                Lexine walked onto the pitch and was a little more than shaken by the fact she was the first one thing. Biting her lip, she wandered around for a minute before deciding that she'd stay, and if someone didn't show up she'd just awkwardly shuffle off. Even so, she began stretching a bit beforehand. It was always a good idea anyway.

Dylan made his way onto the pitch, adorned with his new quidditch uniform and broom in hand, taking deep breaths to try and calm himself. Even though he had tried his hardest to be slow about getting there, he was still one of the first ones there, the other being their seeker Lexine. He offered a small smile to her and leaned down, doing some stretches himself. "Hi," he greeted her. "Ready for our first game of the year?" He sure wasn't.

                                                Lexine jumped a bit when she heard a voice, turning to see a second year -- Dylan, if she remembered correctly -- and relaxed a bit. "Hey..." She murmured. Upon being asked if she was ready for the game, Lexine shrugged a bit. "I don't know. I played one game a few years ago, so I guess I'm not as nervous as I would be had this been my first game." She thought looking over to the younger boy. "I can tell you from experience though, as soon as you're actually out there and playing, it's not as nerve-wracking." She admitted, hoping to ease the second year's mind a bit.

                                                Xavier wasn't the first one on the pitch, but he soon arrived after Lexine and Dylan. Hearing Lexine's advice to the first year, he gave the kid a half-smile and nodded at Lexine's advice. "She is right. As soon as you're up there, you kind of forget the nervousness and then you're just going with it. At least, that's what I do." Granted that was way before he came to Hogwarts. But, he still remembered his first time on a broom. He definitely recalled his first game. Granted, he figured that he could have done without being dragged into the sport, but he had to admit he did enjoy it. Though if anyone asked him about it, he'd deny it vehemently.

                                                              Crash was surprised to see that several of the eagles had already arrived, but not as surprised to find himself as the first and lone lion to trek across the pitch. The borrowed school broom slung over both shoulders and behind his neck in the same fashion he would hoist his skateboard. To be honest, he was going to miss the broom, it was a reliable and loyal thing, even for a school broom. He kept it polished, borrowing broom kits when he can and counting knuts to buy his own whenever he could. Which begged the reminder that he'd need a job, at least something, to help when he finally moves out of the orphanage.

Ronna stepped onto the field carrying her broom in her hand and a beater bat in the other. Several of the Ravenclaw team members were already there-though their captain, Gypsy, was yet to be seen. She nodded politely to Xavier and then glanced to Crash realizing he was the first-and only other-Gryffindor on the field so far. She sighed and looked away. Maybe this game they could actually win-or at least she avoided the ever embarrassing hitting her own-self with a bludger.

"The best way to keep something bad from happening is to see it ahead of time..."


Iñigo walked onto the pitch, in a zone that really didn't call for him speaking that much...even to his now girlfriend. He had gotten to the group in the middle, but just said a solemn 'good luck' to each of them before really retracting back to his normal silence before games. He would've loved to listen to music before the game but of course, in the castle, no electronics worked; so it wasn't possible...so instead of doing that, he would just play certain songs back in his head and try to get into the zone.

He then proceeded to stretch, a stern look upon his face. If there was one thing he took seriously, it was this game. Gryffindor was the reason they lost out the cup during the last term...and they had lost it by a few goals as well, which almost depressed him, but they had won the House Cup which was definitely a plus in his mind. However, he was looking to get back at the team this year...and hoped Lexine could help them do it. She was still young, but she did have some game experience...and now that she was his girlfriend, he would probably be even more worried about her than he usually was, but that meant that he would protect his seeker at least.


"and you can't see it if you refuse to face the possibility."

Julius stepped onto the field with a long sigh. He had done awful the game before-or that is what he still thought, but Celaena did have a point about the fact that he'd probably hurt the team worse by quitting. So he had only one option-to step up his game all the more. Just catch the snitch before the Ravenclaw seeker did-which of course was easier said than actually done.

Dylan nodded at her words and looked to their vice captain, Xavier, as he arrived. He offered a small smile and nodded at his advice too. It didn't really ease his mind anymore, though he supposed they were right. They had experience with this, of course. "I hope so." They were still missing a few people, Gypsy, Echo, and Timothy, but for the most part they were all gathered there, as the Gryffindors started arriving.

                                                          Tanya walked out onto the field with her broom in hand and a surprisingly serious look on her face. This was her first game going up against her little brother and she was more than slightly worried about it. Not about him not playing well, he was awesome as far as she was concerned, but more about the bludgers and the other players buzzing around. She knew Ronna and Toby, they were hard hitters, but so was Gypsy and that Albion guy, so she really had no reason to be worried, right? Gah, what was she doing! She was supposed to be focusing on their own game not her little brother! So steeling her face, she walked over to where Crash and Ronna were standing and gave them both a wan smile before gently dropping her broom to put on her gloves and do a few small arm stretches.

Rate yourself and rake yourself...
Take all the courage you have left.

Toby was still annoyed that the last game had ended so quickly with his sister catching the snitch, and that he hadn't even managed to hit anyone. But they could definitely beat Ravenclaw, couldn't they? Even if he would be playing against Gypsy. At least he wasn't a chaser, and he wouldn't hesitate to aim a bludger or two at his friend. In fact, he suspected Ronna might even enjoy it.

Your grace is wasted on your face and your boldness stands alone among the wreck.

My silence, it was the silence of the stones,
Rocks and stones,
Rocks, stones and trees;
Of the landscapes
Full of ups and downs.


                                                  Timothy followed his sister out to the field trying to take deep calming breaths telling himself he had played in an actual game before this. But last time he had merely been filling in for someone else, this time he was actually starting. And boy did that kick up the anxiety a few extra notches. He could see that Tanya looked a bit worried as well and had to wonder what about before shaking his head knowing that he probably wouldn't want to know and went to stand with his fellow year mate. He gave Dylan a grin and a thumbs up since he didn't have his notepad on him (he didn't really think he'd need to considering where they were all going to be in a few minutes) and just waited around for the game to start.

                                                          spaceGypsy was, for once, doing an admirable job of keeping her hair and both her eyes blue. if one had been paying attention to her over the last few years, one would think that for the first time since she'd made the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, she wasn't nervous... One would be wrong. Oh, she wasn't worried about her own playing, not really; she'd pretty much accepted long ago that she sort of sucked. Actually, if the other team wanted to focus on pummeling her and leave the rest of her team alone, she'd be perfectly okay with that. She wouldn't be a great loss, not really. No, she was more worried about her players; specifically her new starting players. Lexine and Timothy had both only been on reserve up until now, and Dylan was new to the team in general. Honestly, she was more than a bit worried about how this game was going to go. Not that she didn't have faith in her players, she just didn't care to underestimate the other team. Ronna and Toby would be gunning for Lexine, more likely than not. She hoped the other girl was tougher than she looked. The sixth year offered both her team and the opposing players (well, she was friends with two of them, after all), and smile and a wave, hoping that the lack of orange in her hair and eyes wouldn't let anyone on to how nervous she was. She glanced at her fellow sixth years, smirking lightly, unable to resist. "So, we're just using this as an excuse to pummel the hell out of each other, right?" she joked. She did find it hilarious that, of everyone in her little social group (Ronna included as of last year), the only one not playing Quidditch was Jer, and the only one who wasn't a Beater was Jess. It just figured, didn't it? Of course, she figured that if Jer'd cared to be on his house team (which would never happen in a million years, especially not with Dmitri captaining), he'd have gone for Seeker, like his brother had. What with their sticky fingers and all. And Jess, for all her complaints about being tiny, was pretty much perfectly built for the position.

                                                          spaceEcho arrived behind his sister just in time to hear her comment to Toby and Ronna, rolling his eyes at her back. She would make a joke like that, he thought. Never mind that she was more likely to hit herself than to manage a hit on either of them. He didn't say that, though, because every time he tried to tease her about how bad she was, she started in on him about how good he was. Echo swore, if he had to listen to her make one more bloody pitch for him playing for pro-Quidditch, he'd tear his hair out. He shook his head, glancing over at Tanya, suddenly feeling weird. This was the first game where they were playing against each other since they'd started dating... which, logically, he knew it didn't change anything, but he couldn't help feeling like it did. At least he knew he didn't have to worry about Tanya getting mad at him for managing to steal from her, or scoring, or anything like that. And anyway, she wasn't just playing against her boyfriend, she was playing against her brother, too, and any attempts by her to score would require her to both evade him and get the ball past Timothy... the way Echo saw it, he was the one who had it easy right now.
