spaceEcho scowled as he was drug behind his sister, twisting to try and free himself from her grip, cringing because her nails had grown into claws, clenching at his shoulder. He was pretty sure if she squeezed any harder, she'd draw blood. Still, he struggled; he was far past the point of running back to the Common Room, they were already to the pitch, after all, and anyway she'd just chase him down, but he really didn't see the point in her literally dragging him by her claws. But, he kept quiet, because he wasn't going to argue with her over it. He never won those arguments, anyway. He just didn't see why he had to come. He wasn't on the team, not really, he was just a reserve. And honestly, if they were looking for more members... well, he'd been sort of hoping that his absence would convince Rick to put someone else on Reserve and drop him. He didn't want to be on the team, after all. But Gypsy wasn't having it, and he guessed he didn't blame her; after all, he'd been the only spare person to show up fr the first tryouts, there was no guarantee that anyone else would come now, right? He sighed; this was aggravating. He didn't care about this, except that, well, they were a House, right, and they were family. They were supposed to be there for each other. So... here he was. Even though he was pretty sure he'd hate every second of it. Although at least he'd done better at tryouts than Gypsy...

"Make friends" is what her mom told her and that was exactly what Asterisk was doing. She struggled at first to even try out but after hearing they needed some players, she decided to just put herself out here. She didn't know what she was going to say or do but she expected at least flying. She brought her broom with her, since it was quidditch. Although a first year, Asterisk knew a bit more about flying and her broom than some of her classmates in Flying. She had practiced commands and mounting and bond with broom was established already over the summer, although she was sure she wasn't perfect. When she reacked the group of students, she gave them an uneasy grin. Complete judgement fell over her but she began to speak, "Hi, umm, I heard you guys needed more players and just wanted to see... Asterisk Slater, first year." She introduced herself, looking at every person, trying to be as respectful as possible.

We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know, we're on each other's team.
Bristian stepped onto the Quidditch pitch. It was an odd place for her to be, due to the fact that she had never picked up a broom before. Well, beside first year. She had done fairly well, she supposed, but never had she thought she'd be trying out for Quidditch. Which was exactly what Bris was doing. She had a school broom tucked under her arm and the form to sign up in her hand. Bristian walked toward Rick, the captain, as she had heard and handed it to them. It hadn't been very hard to find, seeing as it was pinned right beside the announcement. "I'm not too late, am I?"

Heart still beating but it's not working
It's like a hundred thousand voices that just can't sing
I reached out trying to love but I feel nothing
Oh, my heart is numb
Rick nodded toward the poeple showing up, and was surprised as some new faces made an appearance. Well, this is a surprise. He leaned over and grabbed out a few forms, handing them out before blinking as one girl already had one. Must have gotten it from the flier, he thought. Well, time to go ahead and start making this work, huh? He looked around and noted who wasn't here. Shayna possibly had OWLs to study for, so he could understand her absence, and Rufus had NEWTs. He did hope they came down though. He cleared his throat before he started speaking. "Okay, well, thanks for coming down. Sorry about how short notice this is, but we're down a beater, and it probably won't hurt to put some others on other positions, considering we don't have that many for in case someone gets knocked out. So, just take that form, and fill it out. After that, we'll go ahead and run some basic drills. Then, time permitting, get in a practice with everyone before we have to call it before the game."

Asterisk placed her broom nicely on the ground before a boy from classes showed up. Asterisk wasn't sure how to feel about being part of the qudditch team anymore. What if she didn't make it? What if he didn't make it? She wasn't good at being a choice, or sharing. As an only child, this was one of the few qualities she gained after eleven years of being "first". She gave Iñigo a smile, "Hey. See ya going to try out. Nervous?" Another person walked up, a girl this time. Older girl, probably with more experience with a broom than either of the two first years, well Asterisk for sure. Upperclassmen had priority right? First years weren't really suppose to try out for the Quidditch team, but it would be different now. The girl had given one of the boys, now titled as Captain, a piece of paper. There was a piece of paper to fill out? Asterisk expected it was more of a guts sporadic action than a thought out plot to take the spot as beater. Maybe she didn't think this through, although the last thing she felt was regret. Asterisk knew she needed to put herself out there. Out somewhere.
The captain skipped introductions, but at this point, everyone skipped introductions. Introductions were getting boring and tiring. He instructed they had to fill out a form, which Asterisk took and pulled out a quill from her bag. She filled it out.
Username: 500 Days of Summer
Character's Name: Asterisk Slater
House: Ravenclaw
Year: First
Advanced Flying I: Nope
Advanced Flying II: Nope
Years of Previous Quidditch playing: None
Any Special Skill: Swift Swipe, Deft Dodger, Mean Swing
First Choice Position: Beater
Second Choice Position: Chaser, Seeker
When she finished, Asterisk realized she didn't have much experience in even flying. The captain did say they would have other people, like backup. If she didn't make it as beater, she can always tag along and learn something. She had to think of this experience as a good thing. She might even be on the team if she impressed everyone. She glanced at her form again before smiling with optimism. She can do this. She gave the older boy her paper before placing her quill back in her bag and hovered her hand over her broom. The broom flew to her hand as a cheesy wide grin came out of her mouth as she said, "Pleasure to be here."

Iñigo Lazaro Albion-Alexandré
House: Ravenclaw{|}Seer{|}First Year
Iñigo listened to the captain, taking down mental notes for himself and then viewing the competition around him. So far, it was a third year and a first year. He was glad to see others come out and he would gladly take any position given to him. He couldn't wait to actually start however. He did however, take a broom from the school's collection of hand me downs in the barrel. He had to do his best, but unfortunately on the broom he had at the moment, it didn't seem to be a possibility. He felt it would ride jagged and didn't seem to have a high top speed, but hey, if he was going to play beater, he didn't need to go outstandingly fast. He actually probably should control it a bit.
He was given a form and he filled it out promptly:
Username: RedEagleEye007
Character's Name: Iñigo Albion-Alexandré
House: Ravenclaw
Year: 1st
Advanced Flying I: No
Advanced Flying II: No
Years of Previous Quidditch playing: None
Any Special Skill: Natural Flyer, Deft Dodger, Mean Swing
First Choice Position: Beater
Second Choice Position: Chaser
He handed it in, and as soon as he did, Asterisk had said something to him. He looked back at her and smiled. "No...I don't really get nervous about these sort of things. Are you?" he asked her. He really didn't get nervous by such things anymore. Ever since his mother died, he did not feel nervous until his visions decided to act up, which haven't too bad since he had gotten to school.
“There is no death. Only a change of worlds.”

Shayna ran down the halls and out to the fields. She had forgotten their was an urgent meetin while she was studying for owls. 'Damn, how'd I end up so late?' She asked herself as she sprinted down the quad towards the pitch where her team was meeting for an emergency try out for beaters and hopeful reserves. When she arrived she slowed to an easy stop before walking over. "Sorry Rick, lost track of time... She said apologizingly. She noticed the three new trainees. In fact one she had talked to at the sorting feast. That was cool. She smiled as she waited.

Rick took the forms and smiled when Shayna showed up. At least this meant that most of the team was here, well, except for a certain third year. Then again, he seemed to be the type that didn't enjoy the sport. He looked the forms over, and then suddenly realized that he hadn't introduced himself. Nice first impression. "Umm, thank you. Now, I see that all three of you have applied to be a beater. I'm going to have each of you shoot at targets in the air. The targets are the only things you will be aiming for. Then maybe a bit later, we can see about perhaps doing a few other positions before we announce who gets what spots. Oh, also, erm... Sorry I didn't introduce myself. Richard Drage. This is Shayna Snow, the vice captain. So just go up there, and show what you have."

When Bristian heard Rick's orders, she nodded, mounted her broom and pushed off the ground. She waited for a bludger to come around, and once one was near enough, the third year bit her lip and swung at it, aiming for a target.

Asterisk had mumbled a few things before mounting on her broom. The bludgers were released in the air already before Asterisk lifted off the ground. It wasn't because she didn't know how, it was more like she wanted to see her competitors skills. Assessment of competition, although when she was up in the air, it wasn't as smooth as Iñigo. Asterisk waited for a bludger to come around like the third year girl, but when she missed, Asterisk needed to step up to the bat. Iñigo had the same idea and went for another swing.
Asterisk didn't wait for his results as a bludger was in "hitting" sight. She eyed it and readying her bat. She swung it, keeping contact with the bludger until it hit her bat. The bludger hit the target and she smiled, rather largely, before looking at Iñigo's try, realizing she was the first to hit a target. She wasn't sure if she liked being "first" anymore.
