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.

	For the lols, I would really like to see Alasdair and Scrimmy paired up as beaters at some point. It would definitely make me chuckle XD Alasdair definitely enjoys trying out the different positions and it shows. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Chasers' Revenge. Let's see how YOU like being pelted by bludgers when you're trying to make shots! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yasssss! Alasdair 100% approves and probably starts up some banter while they're playing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just taunting chasers from atop their brooms. Even worse they both grew up with beaters as parents so they're actually pretty good (Scrimmy was read teh Beater's Bible at bedtime). Which only makes it worse for the inexperienced chasers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Let's go kick some arse, lass!" Alasdair calls to her as he mounts his broom, giving her a wink before zooming off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her gleeful cackling in anticipation can be heard even before she hits the air. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Smacking of bats instead of high fives when one of them does something particularly awesome? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Drill #3 wannabeat 2017-10-01 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	Definitely! At some point they have their own bat smacking/high fiving routine with every great shot DOWN! The elaborate routine is reserved for the truly stunning shots ;) 'High, low, side to side, spin around and BOO YA final bat smack!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is so ridiculous that I love it and it must happen XD (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Luag is so proud of both of them. And is the idiot that would give pointers even if it'd make his life harder. XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Scrimmy would be thrilled with advice! And listen and take it seriously...and then get a good hit at him and shout 'HOW WAS THAT?! BETTER? BUT NEXT TIME I'M KNOCKING YOU OFF, THIS WAS A FREE ONE!" (Reply to this) (Parent)
