SPOILER!!: Cuuttttyyyy!

”Colovaria!” The lion said, aiming to change her currently blue tie to the golden yellow of her Aunt Alyssa’s tie. The same as Adi’s. On the first try this time, it changed colour to the gold. GRRIIIN. Yeass. OKay, now to add stripes. ”Colovaria!”. Nope. No. Never. SIGGGGGH. She just wanted to add the houses black stripes. Why was that so hard?

SIGH.

Looking over at Cutty as he called on her, she grinned at the sight of his red tie. ”I don’t know, could suit you… But it looks really weird!” She giggled at him, as she once again looked back at her tie. Gosh, how was she supposed to get her tie back to the right thing. Gosh.

”Colovaria!” Hi red tie. But sigh. No stripes. ”Colorvaria!” She tried again, and again… but nothing. No stripes. Sighing, she put her tie back on, figuring that she would talk to the Professor when he had a second.

SPOILER!!: Professor Quiggley

Shame you couldn't choose your housemates.

"Right then I think that's enough practising. Ties back on." The man leaned against the railing once more, glancing down like he'd been doing while the majority of them were still arriving. Could he take the entire barrel down there with him? Would he need to? It wouldn't be impossible to make them all climb down on their own while he stayed put; simply irresponsible.

When he considered the distance down there...the height involved, suddenly being irresponsible didn't sound half bad.

But if he didn't he'd have to use sonorus and eh, loud noises, no thank you. With a heavy sigh he launched away from the railing once more, nicked a few apples and headed to the end of the bridge closer to them. "Alright everyone, follow me. Down we go." The terrain leading down to the ditch of sorts was slanted and rugged enough to allow for adequate grip. He was confident they could make the climb down.

Maddox eased himself down the edge, feeling out the area so they could see all the safe places to make their descent. "And no," he called up even as he continued, "staying on the bridge is not an option. Single file, follow my lead. Don't break anything." Referring to their own bones. The man was seriously considering point reduction for the reckless among them.

Would have been easier descending as a cat but he needed them to SEE so they wouldn't fall. Occasionally he tapped at the ground with his foot before continuing to make sure the soil wasn't loose but his balance allowed his descent to be easy enough.

You'll only really need one well developed post for this part but you're free to make others if you feel better splitting the descent. RP your charrie heading down the side of the ravine/ditch/whatever you wanna call it then just pretend the Professor is already down there standing and waiting on the rest of them to join him. If you need to know the terrain in order to comfortably RP this, take a look at the picture in the description post. Rocks, trees, bushes, all that along the sides. I should move this class sometime tonight, or possible tomorrow morning.

Marsha was just finishing tying her tie when they got told to put them back on again. With a smile she listened to the Professor before grinning. SO COOL. This would be amazing. Looking down at her sensible clothing, like asked for she smiled. As far as she could see, Quiggley seemed to like everyone in trousers with sensible footwear and that was perfect as far as Marsha was concerned.

It didn’t take her much effort to follow behind the line of students to the bottom of the ravine. She was pretty light on her feet, with pretty good balance. She thought that was all from her Tad personally, but horseriding had helped with her balance in the past. Slipping past some trees and large prickly bushes, the first year was glad for her trousers. THANKS PROFESSOR.

SPOILER!!: Professor

The man didn't need a trip to the Healer and wouldn't like a lecture from her either. It was hard work, sure, but it wasn't impossible to make it down the side of the ravine--his agility aside, they were proving this more and more.

Maddox watched the last of them coming down, decidedly not willing to comment on the rope and rock technique or the way Miss Wojack tried freaking everyone else out. Make no mistake, his eyes had shot up in case he needed to do some quick spell work but it was a relief to know that no one was actually falling. No injuries please.

"Now that you're all here, we can put this spell into real practise...but first." Squinting at everyone who hadn't changed their ties back to their original colour. "I do believe I said to practice the spell on your ties then have them return to normal right after. 5 points from anyone still wearing the incorrectly coloured tie in the next 10 seconds." So they'd better move quickly, he was actually counting.

Ten...nine...eight...seven...six....

Tick tock.

Maddox stepped a little further into the clearing at the bottom. It wasn't OVERLY spacious but there was plenty of room with rocks and bushes and trees closing in on all sides. Perfect terrain. "Let's play a little game of 'Capture the Fort'." As he spoke, he did some wand work and had flags popping up on either side. To the left, Gryffindor and Slytherin banners flew, waving in the light breeze that graced them down here. To the right, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff banners seeming to mirror their counterparts. On either side, the flags were not always easily gotten to as some were half hidden behind the natural landscape. Some further into the thick trees. They would need some fort infiltration to get to the ones not easily displayed at the front.

"Don't think I have to tell you how to split up." Hah, no, the flags made that obvious. "Few rules before we begin: Aim at the flags not each other, boundary crossing is allowed," so no, the clearing was not some great divide they were not allowed to cross, "and on that same note, so is returning your flag to it's original colour should you find it's been tampered with." Of course that meant they would have to choose between staying behind to defend their own or go forth attacking and hope for the best but he wouldn't be telling them how to play their game. "Once you have taken out an entire house's banners, that house belongs to your team and will now help you eliminate the one team left. Three on one's hardly fair, I don't recommend you becoming that one." Kinda meant helping your war buddy even if they weren't IN your house, didn't it? Meant mostly for those who wouldn't see a problem with their partner's banners being changed so long as it wasn't THEIRS.

"Split up, wait for my signal, then go." He would be getting out of the way of the cross fire soon enough.

OOC: Final activity guys! SO most of the instructions have already been said above. 5 posts minimum. Pretend Maddox gave the signal once your charrie is in position. Please indicate the colour you are attacking and what colour you changed it to. A few things to keep in mind, you can't aim at the same house consecutively, you must alternate. You can RP Fixing your flag and in the same post attack ONE other flag but you cannot RP attacking more than one 'enemy flag' in your post. You cannot fix a flag twice in a row. I already determined how many of each flag exists and Maddox will announce when a house is to change it's loyalties. You have until Monday around 6 pm GMT -5 to get this done. Unless the flags run out first and the game ends. If something is still unclear, feel free to VM/PM/IM me. Have fun! ^^

Wheeee. Next!

Oh no! She didn’t want to loose points. ”Professor?” She asked, her hand shooting into the air. I couldn’t get my tie to change two colours… I can’t get my stripes back.”[/b] She was frowning, something that didn’t happen to the Welsh girl very often, and she didn’t really like it. She wanted her smile back but she REALLY didn’t want to loose points for Gryffindor.

However, she figured the Professor (or one of the older students) would help her out. So she listened to the task and looked around the hills at the two split sides. Gryffindor and Slytherin. Awesome. At least the flags were a single colour. That was good. As she moved back towards the others in her team, she hoped that she would be able to keep up - but regardless, this was going to be fun! It made her think of the first astronomy lesson she had had with the sandcastles. Hehe, Gryffindor had won that, maybe they could win this too!.

Oi! Adi! Don't be mean! Hehehee. "Colovaria!" She said, pointing to the very flag that the Hufflepuff prefect had just converted to gold.

Oh griffin. Where was the fun in staying behind? Besides, it was payback time. Hehehehehe.

Grinning, she moved towards the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff side of the ravine. Once she was close enough that she thought her spell would work, she pointed at a Hufflepuff flag and said the charm. ”Colovaria!”. With a wide grin, she watched the flag turn red. AWESOME.

Where was this spell when Sonea Duvessa had turned the common room pink all over. He'd managed with some transfiguration, but this would've been helpful too. It never hurt to have many weapons in ones arsenal. These were the thoughts as Cutty Mordaunt tugged at his tie and pulled it off from around his neck. "Colovaria." He said letting it take shape in his mouth before trying it out for real. "Colovaria." He gripped the end of his wand. He pointed the wand directly at his tie. "Colovaria." And as if someone had spilled a heavy drop of red ink that spread all over the fabric quickly, Cutty's green & silver warmed up to hues of red and gold. He held his Gryffauxdor tie up to his neck and looked at little wee Marsha Hannover. "Hannover, what d'yer think? Do I look like I could pass for one of yew lions?" ”Colovaria!” The lion said, aiming to change her currently blue tie to the golden yellow of her Aunt Alyssa’s tie. The same as Adi’s.
