Talbot sighed in resignation as he made his way to the pitch. He'd been hoping that he might try and save for a new broom over the summer, but with Terry and his... stuff, Talbot hadn't been able to. Granted, he'd be playing as a starter this year (if tryouts went well), but still. Grabbing a form, he filled it out and began stretching, hoping he could get this over with quickly.

Taco entered the pitch with a new broom in hand. His parents had gotten it for him once they were sure he wanted to stick quidditch out. Why wouldn't he? He felt this was where his friends were. They didn't mind him not being all bubbly. It just wasn't him. He just wished he had some friends elsewhere. He came in and filled out the dorm as usual and went off to stretch. Perhaps he would get a chance to chat with the older keeper. They always had pleasant conversations

Vinny entered with his special broom that honestly looked better than when it was made. Aeryn had taken to caring for his broom and Vinny wasn't going to say no when she seemed to enjoy it. Perhaps she had found a calling. As he approached he had to half bend in half to grab a form. He sure hoped he be done growing soon hr had hit the eight foot mark now but he knew he had a bit more growing to do. Ugh, his tall genes and not even on his non human side. Why could he have whatever short gene his grandma had. Filling out the form he passed it in and went to sit with his protege. The kid seemed serious and shy but a good kid once you got to know him.

spaceAndi was obviously relieved that Shawna had agreed to be her vice captain. She was a little less thrilled about how few people had shown up to tryouts, however. Where was the competitive spirit, seriously? But, she had enough people for a team, and one reserve, which was better than no reserves, or worse, only part of a team. She'd make do. Even if it was a pain in the arse.
spaceShe felt like they'd already waited longer than they should have, just hoping that more people would show. That didn't seem like it was going to happen, so she figured she'd better get the show on the road. At least with a crowd this small, she didn't have to work hard to project her voice."Hey, everybody!"she called, going up on her tiptoes and waving her arms for everyone's attention. Once she had it, she dropped down to her regular height, and clapped her hands together."Okay, uh, hey. I'm Andi Masters, your captain for the next two years. Which, most of you already know. And, most of you also already know Shawna,"she gestured to the girl in question,"Who is, as of ten minutes ago, your vice captain. So, remember, what we say goes. In the event of a disagreement, which I don't particularly think is gonna happen, what I say goes. Unless I've gone mad with power, but that's what she's here to prevent."Andi smirked a little. She was joking, of course. But, never let it be said that she didn't want to be called out if she got a little crazy. She was serious enough about quidditch that she knew she might run the risk of getting overzealous at times. Which was the whole point of having a second in command, anyway.
spaceShe took another second to bemoan the small group, but plastered a smile on her face."So, obviously pickings are pretty slim this year, meaning that unless one of you is a total massive jackarse, you're all on the team. Not that I think you wouldn't make it anyway, for the record."She did frown a little at this, realizing her comment might've sounded a bit rude. Hopefully she'd smoothed it over well enough. Wouldn't do to have the whole team hate her."Having said that, proper tryouts are sort of pointless. In light of that, we're going to have what is more or less a regular practice, with me observing for now. First we'll stretch out and warm up, then we'll get into playing. Two three-person teams. Green team is Shawna as chaser, Talbot as beater, Wren as keeper. Silver team is Takuto as chaser, Will as beater, Vinny as keeper."She glanced over at Issac with a shrug."Issac, you're on your own for now. In a bit I'll let the beaters try to aim for you while I work with the chasers, but for now I'll release the snitch and you can play catch-and-release at your leisure."With that, she started to lead everybody through the basic warmups she wanted them to do before every practice and game. Once that was done, she released the balls and went up on her broom to watch everybody, more to give advice than anything else.

Wren laughed a little when Andi mentioned going mad with power. He decided he quite liked her. Maybe Quidditch wasn't that bad of an idea.
No sooner had he thought that that she revealed everyone had basically made the team just by showing up. Wow. As he followed Andi's lead in warm up, Wren wondered if he really wanted to be on a Quidditch team so unpopular that they had literally no new people trying out. Considering a few of the others looked old enough to be seventh years, they were screwed next year anyways.
Following warmups, he took off and headed for the goals silently.

Taco was pleasantly suprised he would be chaser. He did want to get in on the action. Soon as they were set and balls released he went for the quaffle.

Shawna Brynn Llywarch Slytherin Third Year ◆ Vice Captain Chaser Halfblood ♦ Future Business Owner
◆ Location : Quidditch Pitch - Slytherin Tryouts
Shawna was more or less prepared for working with the small turn out. It was sad to see that few people were interested in the sport. However, at least they had a team. They could make it work, she was sure of it. Going up against Takuto in the line up, she was going to push her year mate. Might as well make things interest since they were all going to make the team anyway.

Coming away barely with the ball, Shawna pulled away from Takuto. Time to see who was better at keeping their hands on the ball.

spaceAndi half-bounced her way out onto the pitch, a stack of forms in hand, for her last session of Quidditch tryouts. Well, school Quidditch tryouts, anyway. She still was considering trying to go pro. Although, seventh year, maybe she ought to be more sure by now. She would be a lot more certain, of course, if her team's performance hadn't been somewhat lacking. It did make her feel like a bad captain. Except they weren't really lacking, just inexperienced, and she was doing everything she could to help with that, including asking Eretria freaking Borson for help-
spaceShe paused mid-stride, ground her teeth, and gave her head a quick shake. No, She'd been going around in circles about this for ages. She was doing fine. Her team just needed practice. And more players, but beggars can't be choosers, after all. The point is, she was doing fine as captain, and was a decent player herself. If she wanted to go pro, she could. If she decided not to, well... hmph. She'd figure something else out. It would be nice, she thought, to get scouted. That would save her the trouble of deciding. But, in the meantime, she had tryouts to run.
spaceShe gave an exaggerated huff, putting the bounce back in her step deliberately, to try and lift her mood. Once she'd arrived at the correct spot, she set up her little table with her forms and things, and sat back to wait on her players to arrive. Hopefully they had some new people tryout. Otherwise, they might be in a bit of trouble.

Shawna Brynn Llywarch Slytherin Fourth Year ◆ Vice Captain Chaser Halfblood ♦ Future Business Owner
◆ Location : Quidditch Pitch - Slytherin Try-outs
Shawna had been left to her own devices pretty much all summer. When she wasn't helping her parents she was working on her Quidditch moves. She knew that Issac Whitethorne had graduated and that left the door open for someone to take over in the seeker department. That someone for all purposes was her, or at least she hoped it was. Being vice captain had its advantages when it came to that. She pretty much had first dibs
Walking onto the pitch, Shawna made her way over to Andi. She looked a little worried from where she stood. Then again who wouldn't be, Slytherin hadn't been doing great these past few years. "Hey, if it helps I've been working on my seeker skills all summer. Figured I could fill in now that there's a bit of a hole present." She shared with Andi. Shawna had always wanted to play seeker anyways so it was no stress on her shoulder. Though none of that mattered if they didn't have a full team appearance.

Wren had gotten to the Pitch earlier that day to brush up on his flying before tryouts and then just to take a nap on a sunny spot in the stands. He woke up when Dunce started pawing his face. ”Gettoff me, dumb cat.” he muttered, but stopped when he noticed people had arrived. Well, that was opportune.
He was going to wait a little longer, but Dunce was padding over, purring greetings to everyone. Fricking cat.. He headed down as well, nodded a greeting at Andi as he turned in his form. He gravitated towards Vinny at first, simply because the big guy was a fellow keeper and it didn’t hurt to know the Head Boy...and alright, the bloke was pretty friendly.
He was about to make a sarcastic comment that tryouts looked like another "show up and you're in" deal when he recognized a first year. ”Oh hey. You did show up.”

✌ Chadwick ✌ Knapp ✌ First Year Slytherin
▬▬"Beingthebestisgreat,you'rethenumberone."▬▬
Chadwick went onto the quidditch field, ready to join a team. Sure Brook and Cenek were both in Ravenclaw, and Aldrick in Gryffindor, but he was going to make a name for himself here in SLytherin, and that was going to start with quidditch. He filled out the form, applying for a beater position (Maybe he could knock Brook or Cenek off their brooms), handed it back, then went and stood next to Wren, "So, how do you feel with your sister being in Gryffindor? I'm quite sad about it honestly, I was hoping we could be in the same house." Wren Winchester, the only Slytherin that CHadwick knew, and also the guy who hated Chadwick the most.

Vinny was kinda sad this was his last year. He quite loved the sport but knew there very well could pro regulations in place so someone of his size couldn't play. Maybe not. His career plan was Auror anyways so it didn't matter. Entering for the last tryouts ever he went over to the forms. He had to stoop pretty low to grab one before filling it out
