[Dick is walking through a crowded hallway when he makes his post, because the thought just occurred to him as he was leaving transfiguration class and hey, why not poll people instead of dragging out the yearly calendar when he gets back to his room.]

Hey, does anyone know when Parent's weekend this year is? I feel like that should be coming up soon, but I totally don't remember. [And knowing about it sooner rather than later will mean making sure his dad can actually show up, because being an attorney is apparently a huge time sink, who knew.]

Does anyone want to play some Quidditch after classes are done? I've got an extra quaffle around, and no team's using the field for practice, so. Could be fun.

[Private to Tim]

It's been an hour, do you need a rescue?

[Open Spam for the Quidditch Field]

[After school, Dick has decided to head down to the Quidditch field for some practice, which mostly means doing a lot of show offy tricks in the air because lol no one to pass the quaffle around with yet, and tossing it through the goal posts and diving to catch it at dangerously high speeds gets old after a while. So, come down for a game/some trash talk/mocking him for being a show off/saying hi, what have you.]

[ooc: Dick is a sixteen year old senior in Monkey, who plays Quidditch and is generally a very talented student. He tries to look out for the younger kids and the weird kids like Kovacs and doesn't take shit from bullies, which has earned him a goody two shoes reputation that he doesn't really bother trying to deny. I'll be replying with

[Amiable, yes, but you're catching him totally off guard and he is thus going to drop the quaffle and need to swoop down a little to catch it before he really looks like a loser.]

Oh, uh, hi Sara. [Please ignore him trying to straighten his hair out a little with his free hand.] What's up?

[In a rare show of class, she doesn't remark on it.]

Nothing. You need a Keeper?

[Sara's definition of acting as a practice Keeper involves whacking the Quaffle right back at you with intent to injure but it's just bonus motivation as far as she's concerned.]

[Bring it, that's what makes the sport fun. c:]

Sure. You're not thinking of switching are you? [He's teasing because you're like. The best scariest beater ever almost.]

[She takes her bat out of her backpack - why yes, she does carry an object perfectly weighted for smacking dense round objects around with her everywhere, why do you ask - and then drops the bag on the field and floats up to the center hoop.]

As if. Your Captain ask you to ask that?

No, he didn't. Not everything needs to be some calculated political move. [Dick's in it for fun, not so much the competition, which can be fun, but also get completely out of control, fast.

He gets a good distance away and chucks the quaffle at her, not really aiming to score so much as get the ball more actively in play so this feels more like a game.]

[She knocks it back easily, raising her voice to be heard.]

I thought you'd already warmed up!

[Dick just laughs and grabs the ball again, this time zooming straight at Sara and the center hoop before pulling a hard right and throwing the quaffle at the right hoop.]

Is that better? [Dick had a reputation for being incredibly chatty even in the middle of matches. It got on people's nerves, but that was more or less the point. People who were too busy thinking good god shut UP were less likely to be focused on your teammate flying up towards the goal hoops.]

[She extends her reach with the bat as best she can but nope, that's gone through, and she shoots down to grab it.]

A little.

[She tosses it in the air and bats it back with a swing usually reserved for Bludgers.i>

[And while Dick is more or less anticipating that, it still hits him in the chest pretty hard and good god that smarts.]

Easy on the ribs, Pezzini, I'm still using those. [But you're having the ball chucked at your head again, so there.]
