Just as Dani was about to reach again, Chessie caught sight of the glimmer, and this time was able to focus on it before it disappeared! Letting everything else become side noise, Chess leaned forward on her shoddy broomstick and rocketed as fast as the thing would allow. While she was hovering, the broom had been a bully, but at this speed it was manageable. She made sure to keep both eyes glued to the snitch, not letting it out of her sight. Now understanding just how hard it was to spot, there was no way she’d let it escape.

spaceJazzy was incredibly pleased with herself when she managed to land a hit on the captain. Not just any hit, either. It'd been a damn good one! The pride managed to somewhat ease her worries about how hard she'd hit Gid, since it at least hadn't been quite that bad. In any case, she wasn't overly eager to hit him again, so she figured she was better off picking a different person on the red team to aim at. Just as the thought occurred, she noticed one of the red team beaters taking aim at one of her teammates. She narrowed her eyes and sped ahead, attempting to intercept the bludger and hit it off its course towards Ari and back at the older girl who'd hit it, Nina.

spaceIvy gnashed her teeth in agitation when the snitch evaded her once again, the momentary lapse in her concentration allowing the ball time to escape. She frowned, reminding herself that, worst comes to worst, she just wouldn't make the team, which she didn't really want to be on, anyway. She was just here for Joel. But he had other options for Seeker backup, so it didn't really matter how hard she sucked. Still, she shook her head, rolled her shoulders, and went right back to looking for the damn thing. She wasn't about to be bested by an enchanted piece of metal.

Chess pressed harder on the stupid loaner broom, bringing it faster and faster out of sheer willpower. It wasn’t the best, but she could get it up to snitch-catching speed if she really tried. She kept her gaze in front of her at the shiny snitch, making note of what it looked like in action for later use. Having fun now, she let out a laugh of joy just to be flying this fast. A few yards more and she might be able to reach.

Smirking a little, Nina couldn't help herself when the younger missed the save on a damn good hit on Ari. She'd apologize later. With a small chuckle the girl noticed that the Gold Keeper was blocking goals. So she aimed and struck at Dante .

So close now! Chessie had the loaner broom almost up to its limit, but she was sure that it could match the snitch’s speed. The little golden ball wasn’t pleasant to keep up with; it loved to play tricks on her, swerving this way and that. Chess wasn’t an expert on a broom, and was clumsily making the maneuvers she needed to make to follow it. Still she kept up, and was nearing the point where she’d feel confident enough to make a grab for it.

Dani was not surprised when the Snitch vanished again; to date she'd never managed to get it on her first try, no matter how good a day she was having. She was back to scanning the pitch for the Snitch, though she noticed Chelsea seemed to be going in a particular direction...

With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

Chessie finally brought the broom within a meter of the snitch. She didn’t have to look so hard to see it now, and it was within arm’s reach. She’d come to know that it’s behavior was erratic, so actually catching the thing was going to be tricky. Nervously, Chessie drew in a deep breath and went for it, never taking her eye off the target.

[The Forgotten Weasley]

This a long time coming like a comet pass;
Got 'em all fired up from the rocket blast!
And if I fall on my sword turn my bones to ash...
Let it clog up the sand in that hourglass.
We're in the title fight, blow for a blow!
And you can reap the benefits of what I have to sow.
'Cause I'm about that worth of which you don't appear to know-
So you can take the scene while I take over the show.

Aster was proud of herself. At least she had landed two hits at this try out, whereas she'd played much worse last year. Undeterred, she tried to aim a bludger at Nina.

It's a long way down when your head is in the clouds...
And all around the sirens play; don't get in my way!
Don't tell me I should bow, 'cause I'm no clown;
And this is not a game, don't get in my way!
Poisoned by the snakes in the grass...
Hoaxed by the rats out the maze...
Shoulda never poked the lion as she passed;
'Cause now it's two hawks in a cage.

Gid missed. Again. He dropped his head for a second, sighing quietly. He wasn't doing a very good job of proving he could play! When Dante told him good job, the blonde issued a grin. "Nice catch again, Dante!" He watched the keeper toss toward one of the twins, so Gid swooped over to try and steal. Maybe a midair steal would be successful.

Gid managed to grab the quaffle, then squealed in delight. His eyes were wide as he turned to get up the pitch as fast as possible. He couldn't stop grinning, clutching the quaffle like a lifeline. He had to do this!

Gid kept going, searching around in a frenzied panic that karma would allow someone to steal from his grasp. He clutched the quaffle tighter on an instinct, gritting his teeth as he flew. His shoulder was hurting again, so he'd have to learn to overcome pain a bit better, if nothing else!

Arianna yelped as a bludger smashed into the side of her chest. She hadn't even noticed the thing coming and had no defense up what-so-ever. Their was definitely pain with each intake of breath which could only mean she had to have a few broken ribs. The red head focused her eyes on Gid who now had the quaffle. Without trying to move too much she went in for a steal.
