IC/OOC: Unconventional training session
Who: Pride players (Ellie assumes Tor is invited, and last minute invites Cav)
Where: MacFusty Dragon Reserve
What: Agility drills with dragons. Lots of dodging unexpected things. Bonfire and social at the end of the night.
When: Sunday, 1 October noon and onward

The team had been instructed to arrive at the Reserve between noon and 12:30. Ellie and her sister Davina will be there to great them and direct them to where they are meeting. Their meeting location is actually the starting line for Winter Solstice Broom Race (that goes from the Reserve to Montrose -- more thoughts on this later), so there is place to set up. Also it is a reasonable area for people to be flying brooms through with managed risk.

As people are arriving, other members of the MacFusty clan are about keen to give people tours. Ellie will very happily direct people to where the young dragons nest.

At 12:30 there will be a brief team meeting going over the goals for the day before everyone takes to their brooms. Of note, neither of the seekers are present. If prompted Ellie will say they have been excused ahead of an intensive seeker training tomorrow.

At 1pm, people will take to their brooms for an afternoon of weird training drills. More about these drills below. Also please feel free to add your own.

	Someone more responsible than her told her this one had to be strictly volunteer only. But Ellie has recreated the First Task from the Triwizard Tournament. Anyone want to steal a golden egg from a dragon's nest? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Alasdair shrugs a little. The eggs aren't that different in size from the Quaffle, right? "Why not?" he replies, looking far more casual about this than he ought to be (well, someone needs to balance out Scrimmy...) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	OH IS THIS A CHALLENGE? ARE YOU CHALLENGING HER BUCHANAN?! BRING IT!!! (Cue a pumped up roar that the baby dragons perk up and join in one. Have a bunch of tiny fierce things trying to roar at you Alasdair XD) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Scrimmy. You're a dragon too. Be a dragon. (It's official, Ellie wants to adopt her into Clan MacFusty, that's fine right?) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Drill #2 joyandpride 2017-10-02 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Joy's response is a mildly horrified "Fuck no!" (Also someone needs to explain to her about the Triwizard Tournament so she can be really horrified about someone setting it up for schoolchildren.) But she's barely been watching the others for a few minutes when she admits that actually it looks really exciting and fun and can she join in too please coach? (Reply to this) (Parent)
