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.

Ellie definitely is joining on this drill. All in. She will easily rotate through all of the positions, although it's clear keeper is not her strong suit. (Why even bother to challenge Meaghan?) It's also clear to anyone who played with professionally that she is holding back a little, but also very much not at the level she once was -- but can certainly hold her own.

She will a couple of times play "chicken" with people trying to slam into them, but pulling away at the last second. Ellie was a rather aggressive players when she played and is proud of the long list of fouls attached to her name. Sadly she didn't get the full 700. Some dreams just can't be actualized.
