2120-2121 SCHOOL YEAR GOBSTONES TRYOUTS

Kindly, review the Quidditch & Gobstones Guidelines thread in full before posting. You may submit the required questionnaire for as many capable character(s) as you desire to have placed on their House team. A reminder that Gobstones tryouts are open to all student-age characters, whether they are a post bit or an additional character.

Gobstones hopefuls lined up in the hall before they were allowed inside the arena. Looking up, they may see a familiar sight or two for support in the seatings, but don't let that be too distracting before the tryouts commence. In the center are the stacks of marbles, arranged in a triangular shape. The arrangement would look familiar to those with experience with the muggle sport 'bowling'. A few meters away is a short white line, to indicate where one will step to make their attempted shots from.

After waiting, Professor Menon emerged with the box under his arm. "Ahh, glad to see you've all made it. Rather to save you lot a trip to the laundry room, we'll be working with these marbles for the tryout." How so? "One by one, you will take a marble from this chest here-" Indicating the box he was carrying.

"It don't matter which one you pick, it can be the prettiest or the ugliest and it won't give you any advantage or disadvantage play wise. Then you'll head up to the line indicated and give it your best shot to hit as many of the marbles there as possible. If you miss your shot or didn't do as well, that's fine, just get back in line and try again." Then adding, "You're welcome to chat before it's your turn, if you're feeling a little nervous. Just be aware, the arrangement may change over time on your next attempt."

OOC: That's it! Take your time and make your post. Also feel free to have your characters interact with one another as much as you’d like. There will be additional posts upping the challenge from the Narrator, depending on your attempts via random generator. You're also welcome to role-play out the outcome to fit your character's experience. Good luck, and most importantly, have fun! Feel free to reach me if you have any questions.
