[Montrose/Portree/Wigtown]

Most of you haven't heard since this is a new thing but the Scottish teams are planning a charity match before the Referendum vote coming up. We're looking to promote voting, raise a bit for charity, and give the fans something fun to watch.

It will be one match with two mixed teams from all three of our Scottish teams. I will be coaching one side and the Portree coach is taking the other, and the playing is on a volunteer basis. It doesn't affect your record, stats, nothing. It's for a bit of fun and a good cause and getting to play with a different set of players and with a different coach for a bit.

Rosters and lineups are determined from a first come volunteer basis, and then which team you end up on is a random ballot draw once we have enough volunteers. So please volunteer here!

The match is currently planned for Jan 13th. We have no intentions of cutting into your vacation time so we'll only start doing practices a week before the match.

Please note: Anyone participating will need the all clear from their team's medic before being allowed.

[OOC: Let's start with one volunteer per player and if there's more space we up it to 2!]

[Also if you don't have a player and want one for a short bit: Wigtown NPCs! Here's the NPC sheet with the names!]

[Kenna]

Alright lass, go volunteer yourself now before the Wigtown lot dive in!

OOC: apparently I have zero "happy Ben Wishaw" icons.

We are writing the Charity Fouls special. I have a great one for you already.

I give you the toast of James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose:

"He either fears his fate too much,
Or his desserts are small,
Who dares not put it to the touch,
To win or lose it all."

~~go you!~~

You can't play professional Quidditch without being an optimist about your chance to beat the odds and win the prize.

[Angus]

Thought I might have something to say. Decided I wanted to wait until you get back. Hope what I have to say is "Good going."

How's Lennox, by the way? You know how much I like to leave people to stew in their own juices, but I don't want to see his funk get into the clubhouse

I'll drink to that.

[Gregor]
Well, you can wish me luck in Canada. Don't know what to expect once I get there, but you were right what you said that one time. There's something unfinished between me and her, and I reckon I need to put it to rest one way or another.

Lennox is Lennox. It's a rough time of year for him, you know. But I reckon he'll be all right by the time we come back after the break.

You'll drink to anything. It's one of your best traits.

[Angus]
I do wish you luck. I don't know if it'll work out, but I don't know that it won't.

But I'm not moving out of the cottage. I've got tenants' rights now, ye great landlord, you.

That's good. And I do think people need room to fix themselves. But he can't just live in his own world and not know he's affecting the rest of the team. We'll see when serious practices start up next year, but if he needs help, he should get it. Or even just someone to listen.

I like to think it's just one of many.

[Gregor]
Cheers.

Ach, dinna fash, I'm not about to throw you out on your arse no matter what. How is your wean settling into the wee house? Reckon you two will be happy there?

One thing I know about my brother, it makes him uncomfortable being hovered over. He just needs a break, Greg. He'll be fine when we come back, you'll see.
