Dalton eyed Gypsy, the girl with bright purple hair, when Shayna, who had been the team's captain, introduced her as the vice captain. After being given instructions, the first year approached the barrel of brooms and picked one up, hesitantly looking it over to make sure it had been in decent condition. Deciding it was sturdy enough, the boy climbed onto it and kicked off the ground with his feet, just like his father had taught him. Flying wasn't so hard once you got the hang of it. In fact, it was a lot like biking, just in the air and with magic.

Lexine listened to Shayna, and made sure to stretch out as she did when she played football (soccer), as they were pretty much standard stretches. She made sure that she was nice and loose, as shaky as she was, before she got onto her broom. Lexine was nervous, she'd never really even thought about trying out for the team until the summer, and now she was really actually going to try. She continued to feel jittery inside when she slipped onto her broom. Her parents had no objections to getting her one, even if she didn't make the team. After all, she could still play with friends when she wanted. Plus, her parents were much too excited that she was finally getting into wizarding sports instead of muggle sports.
When Lexine finally got into the air, she felt as if a weight was lifting after every single lap around the pitch. Although she was still a bit shaky, even after seven laps (as she'd thought the more laps, the less worried she'd be -- it didn't exactly work), she wasn't as nervous as she had been when she'd set foot on the pitch. However, Lexine did start to feel at home on that pitch, and was actually beginning to get excited. She smiled as the wind blew through her hair, but didn't make a sound.

"Stay strong...I know it is hard to understand why these things happen, but they do"
The boy hopped onto the broom, listening to Shayna and lifting into the air. He never really liked doing laps, but he figured he should probably do it, because she was the captain and all. He quickly moved around the circle starting much later than everyone, but he had a high top speed while on the broom along with a quickness that was almost unparalleled. He could turn on a dime pretty easily. He was a natural at flying and quite frankly he dodged quite a bit bludgers last season with relative ease. He wasn't a small target, but he was just extremely quick and really fast to react.
He finished his laps and floating doing so brief broom handling exercises...then stopping exercises...and then air practice swings. He couldn't wait to get the tryout started. No one seemed to be trying out for his position, but he still would be working as hard as he could, because he still needed to truly earn his position. Despite earning it the year before, he had gotten it because the starter had...left...died...he did not know, but he really had to earn it at the tryouts this time around.

spaceEcho barely kept himself from smiling when Gypsy smarted off to Inigo. He could tell that she was nervous... being named Vice Captain had totally caught her off-guard, and now she was incredibly worried about her performance. She was visibly more relaxed, at least to him, after the brief back and forth. Where before, her smile had seemed very forced, it now seemed natural, and she had that happy, sort of cocky light back in her eyes. He'd never quite understood it about her, but bickering with people seemed to put her in a good mood. It was something the other players would have to get used to, he guessed. Otherwise they'd probably think she was... well, a bit of a b***h, if he were honest. And, she sort of was... but not in a bad way? He didn't really know how to put that, though.
spaceUnlike a couple of the others, decided to do his stretching before he flew his laps. The purpose of stretching was, after all, to loosen muscles for athletic activities, so it made more sense to start with that. He felt a bit awkward over it, but it was part of playing a sport, so he had to do it. No way he was going to pull a muscle just because he'd been to stubborn and embarrassed to touch his toes. After he felt as loose as he thought he'd get, given the circumstances, he mounted his broom and took off. Also unlike his teammates, Echo didn't seem to be in any rush. He was hardly moving at a snail's pace, but he wasn't zipping around the pitch, either. It was just a warm-up, right? No sense wearing himself out before they got into the actual try-outs. A few of the others didn't seem to be worried about conserving their energy levels at all, which made him frown a bit. If he were inclined to care (and he totally wasn't), he'd have been a bit concerned that everyone seemed like they were going to burn through all their energy and end up crashing before the end of practice. He knew they were trying to show off, but they were going about it in a really... well, stupid fashion. If you wanted a spot on the team, you should show off during the actual try-outs, by showing off your actual skills, not during the warm-ups. He sighed, flying his own laps before heading back down to Shayna. "Ready when you are, captain," he said with a light shrug. He couldn't really do anything until the chasers were ready, but whatever. He could wait.

CURRENTLY THINKING // 'Okay, Gyp, gotta play it cool. You totally know what you're doing... right?' spacespac ஒ ஒ ஒ The phone rings in the middle of the night;
My father yells, 'what you gonna do with your life?' ஒ ஒ ஒ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════
spaceGypsy, a bit unsure of what was expected of her, waited a bit for the other players to get in their stretches and get on their brooms before she started on her own. She was Vice Captain, so she was sort of in an advisory position, right? That meant it was probably smart of her to keep an eye on what was going on around her and watch the players so she could help Shayna pick the starting players and such. But, she hadn't been told not to do her own stretches or laps, so presumably she was still expected to do them... After a couple of minutes, though, she got a bit impatient, and started her own stretches, still watching the others as best she could in the meantime. She hopped on her broom and hung a few feet off the ground, stretching herself out by hanging upside-down on it, something she'd spotted one of the older Hufflepuff players doing before a game last year. She'd mimicked the stretch that Summer and found that it actually was a good way to strengthen her core and loosen up her shoulders and arms, which was important for a Chaser.
spaceOnce she was comfortable, she was on her broom and off, keeping a steady, fast pace. She frowned at the stunts Xavier was pulling, and at the second-year Inigo, who had taken his sweet time to get in the air and immediately started trying to lap the other players. Wow, really? It was just a warm-up, guys. She sighed; Xavier had skill, she knew, because although she'd never rat him out, she did know who his father was, and it was obvious from his playing that Desmond had taught his son well. But Inigo... the kid was arrogant. And wasting his energy by showing off and... running himself through drills? Instead of heading down to Shayna and awaiting her orders after his lap like he'd been told to do. She sighed; part of her wanted to call them both on it and tell them to head to Shayna so she could tell them what to do instead of wasting time showing off, but the other part of her didn't quite know if she was expected to do anything like that. She didn't want to screw this up... Shayna could easily pull her from her position, and she'd already smarted off at the second-year once. She didn't want to be the bitchy VC, or get in trouble and lose her position, after all... she really wanted to do this well. She just... didn't quite know what that meant.
spaceThe blue-haired girl finished her own laps and flew down to Shayna, not far behind her brother. "So... how long are we going to let the two of them..." She hiked a thumb at the pair to indicate who she was talking about, but trailed off. She'd been about to say 'act like idiots,' but that wasn't a very nice thing to say, after all. Honestly, she got why Xavier was behaving that way (even if it was annoying), but the kid... as far as she knew, he didn't have the background to be that arrogant, at least not on the Pitch. Unless he proved himself to be amazing... the fact that he hadn't immediately done as Shayna asked and stretched and done his laps, and was now doing his own thing instead of reporting back to her, unsettled the fourth year. She didn't think he was very good at taking orders... which was a very, very bad thing for a Quidditch team. She didn't want to have to put up with him if he thought he was above following the Captain's orders. Of course, she might be being too critical, and was really only watching him so closely because of his comment earlier, anyway. She sighed; it was only tryouts and already she wasn't a good VC. This sucked.
spaceIn an effort to distance herself from that train of thought, she focused on the other players. Bristain was late, which wasn't good, but she made quick work of getting in the air. One of the new girls, probably a first year since she had to use a school broom, was acting like it was her first time on one (which Gypsy supposed it might've been? Had the first years gotten to actually fly in class yet?), and another one seemed to be incredibly nervous, but less so than she had been before she'd done her laps. A young boy had looked over his school broom before mounting it, which told her that he was both a first year and knew something about brooms at the very least (or was trying to convince them that he did). Asterisk seemed to be one of the few people who was treating the laps like a proper warm-up, putting in some effort but not over-exerting herself. That was good; they needed at least one player who would know how to expend their energy, after all. Or, two; Echo had done the same, although she wasn't sure if that was because he was smart enough not to waste energy or just so reluctant to be here that he hadn't bothered to try. That kid... at least he was here, though, and cared enough to put in real effort at an actual game. He wasn't a total twerp, she supposed.

Iñigo Lazarus Albion-Alexandré~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ravenclaw<||>Second Year<||>Seer~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Stay strong...I know it is hard to understand why these things happen, but they do"
Iñigo finished his pre-game, pre-practice warmup, confident in himself that he would do fine. Bristain had shown up and that meant now there was a competition. He secretly hoped she had not shown, but she was there and now he had someone to go Head-to-Head with. He was always one for competitions. He loved them because it brought out the best in him...the part of him that exuded confidence. He also was one that could perform under terrible pressure...because of his usual calmness of course. It made up for his lack of durability at least. He wasn't big by any means and wasn't able to take as many hits as the usual person. That was why he needed to perform under pressure and the exact reason why he did the agility drills and speed drills. Because if he was able to dodge through everything, then why would he need to be durable...which he was sure he'd never be.
He landed on the ground at the feet of the others, not feeling the least bit tired at all. He was in good shape after all...living by a lake really helped because he got to swim a bit, despite how freezing the water was. It also helped with his tolerance for the cold as well. To add on to that, he was quite an impressive swimmer so he never had a problem with it, unlike many other people who try to swim in the extremely deep, frigid lake. He made it a personal goal of his to even participate in the Monster Swim, but in the Big Yin portion of it, not the smaller, much easier one, which he did actually participate in.
Now that he was on the ground, he was ready to get back up in the air. He hated staying on the ground for too long after his warmups. He always felt like he was getting tensed up again. But in the meantime, upon waiting for Shayna, he did a few stretches to fill his time.

Lexine finished up her warm ups and landed near those who had already finished. She was pretty fit, and wasn't even the least bit tired after her laps -- of course, it wasn't like she was pushing herself. She also realised that she was no longer shaking like a leaf when she finally set her feet back on the ground. She felt a bit jittery inside, but less so since she'd done her laps. She was hoping that they would get the try outs started as soon as possible, because she knew that as soon as she got in the air once again, her nervousness would be replaced with excitement. What was I so nervous about anyway? Lexine asked herself, pulling her hair into a ponytail.

 Shayna smiled as everyone finished their laps and waited. Her VC was keeping good attention on everyone. "Sometimes relaxing and the occasional twirl help people relax and stretch out. You know. I used to fly as fast as I could to stretch out my muscles. So maybe they feel the need to do their best to get themselves ready." She said in response. Although it did seem like it helped Xavier relax, and flight helped a nervous second year as well. She noticed also that some Hufflepuffs were watching. She looked over. "I appreciate your support for the team!" She called waving a bit. She had no idea who they were but atleast someone was watching and supporting someone right? She watched until they finished. Waving a finger, or her hand as she learned in class, she conjured a few dummies for the Beaters to aim at. It wasn't a hard spell. Then she turned towards her team. "Alright, everyone feeling pretty good now? Good! We have quite a turn out this year! Which is absolutely wonderful I must say. So according to papers, we have five seekers (Including myself), five beaters, Five Chasers, and my single Keeper. This includes second choices as well. And for my new recruits I want you to try both sides. So Beaters, those are Inigo, Verily, Bristain. You are going to aim at those targets for awhile. Eva, Asterisk, Xavier you three will be trying to get this here Quaffle past Echo. Gypsy, I want you to join them but keep your eyes open to possible negative and positive traits. Team one is Eva and Gypsy, Team two is Xavier and Asterisk. Now my seekers, Cash, Dalton and Lexine. You three are trying to catch the small golden ball of the trade. Echo, don't worry. Try your best to block the goals.
Now after awhile I'm going to switch some of you around to your second choice so you can try it out. But your first choice is my main priority unless you want to change it. That will start our tryouts. Get a move on!" She said kicking the chest which opened the bludgers, and then removing the snitch. She picked up the quaffle, waited for them to get into position before tossing it into the air. (Beaters!

Xavier sat up and listened to Shayna explain the rules of practice. Okay, so he and Asterisk were on the same team. No problem. He watched the quaffle be released, and with a nod toward Asterisk, went to go grab it. A first year also was in position to get it, and he had to beat her.
