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.

Bonfire & Social

She would like everyone to stick around for a bit to mingle, but at this point people are free to go home. People who stay will enjoy a bonfire on the Reserve -- safely away from most of the dragons. There will be food. And alcohol.

Monday training will be in the afternoon and optional as she is going to be working with the seekers. So everyone can enjoy themselves tonight. Also at this point for those sticking around other friends/family could be invited up.

	Scrimmy stays for the bonfire (she likes a good bit of team bonding and had a really fun day tbh). Part of her says maaaaybe she shouldn't get drunk in front of coach but then again...this is the coach who wanted to do practice drunk so screw that! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Exactly. In fact, Ellie is probably the first one to insist that everyone does a shot of fire whiskey with her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alasdair definitely stays to hang out with the team - so many of them are, after all, new to him. He doesn't bring his other half though, but he says to people who bring up Ada in conversation that they'll be having a housewarming closer to Halloween. Or maybe Guy Fawkes?

Alasdair fully intends to show up to training anyway, but that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy drinks by the bonfire. He visibly relaxes now the work is done, and chats away with anyone who is willing.

	Ellie has a game in which anytime she overhears someone else bring up Ada she takes a drink. That being said, she does not want to talk about it and still needs time to process this. (Especially because she's still a little prickly from the exchange with Gwen and this is about fun now.) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Tor definitely corners him for drinks and chatting (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alasdair is glad to see him and happily chat away - he tells him about the housewarming they're planning and jokes that he can probably lend Tor a couple of cats for his match day collection. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
