Amir is pure nervous energy in the locker room, restless as he tries to calm his nerves before the match. THE match. His FIRST match. He's so nervous about the match he keeps forgetting his hair is now bright pink. So whenever he catches his reflection, he's caught off guard.

Knowing a good portion of his family is up in the stands doesn't help, but he also knows Terry and his mates will be watching too, and even if he totally fails he can count on Terry's dry sense of humour.

Then there's his teammates in the locker room there to help him out. Though he wonders if Scrimmy's really gonna hit him with the Beater's Bible.

MED TENT (Goes Pink!)
[info]wrecktify
2018-03-09 06:32 am UTC (link)
Maggie hustles out to the tent before the match to MAKE IT PINK!

Having been lent streamers by Florrie (thanks Florrie!!), she enlists the help of two artistic dragonlings to deck the thing out as pink as they can make it. She's awful at this so she's glad Fergus and Rhonna are running the show. A cluster of scary-looking dudes in leather jackets drop by partway through to help out and chat with Maggie — but don't worry, they're actually rather nice. They seem pretty proud of the hot pink patches they've added to their sleeves and are sure to tell the wee MacFarlanes that they're doing a swell job with the streamers. At least one of the gang has a flair for decor and relays every streamer Maggie tries to hang. It's for the best.

She makes sure to rep Uplift on her person as well, with one of her loudest jumpers! Goodbye retinas, hello awareness!

Bart is not, as everyone knows, a big speech giver. But he does say a few words. "We have to win this one, team, or I'm never going to hear the end of it from Janine Miracle. And if I'm never going to hear the end of it from Janine, it better be because we won. Go get 'em!"

When Scrimmy shows up to the locker room today, it's a bit later than her usual level of early. Her pink hair is pulled back out of her face, her headphones are on with Joy's walkman playing a selection of muggle hits, and rather than her Portree team jacket she's wearing a bright hoodie in clan tartan. It's oversized and soft, and just the comfort she needs today.

Last time she walked into a match scared it was for her job, and that gave her a nervous energy. But today it's a different sort of fear that keeps coming in periodic waves, this one is the paralyzing type that forces her to keep focusing on taking deep breaths just so she remembers to breath. Old coach had some long preachy speech about pink, but to her it sounded like a lot of words to say 'politics'. But...Keke had said it’d mean something to her. And loyalty was important, you had to stick your neck out for your team when push came to shove.

She finds her corner of the locker room and puts on her goggles right away to hide her expression and help try and ignore the locker room as a whole. The hair dying was easy, she could pretend it was like it was back when she'd tried out a bright red, and she could tease Amir about his new pink look (it looked good but silly, a good silly). This though, this made it feel real, terrifying, and oh so publicly political. The last Scrimgeour to be public and political had 'resigned' been tortured and murdered for it (thank you so much postwar Prophet expose), and it wasn't so easy to brush that aside.

To make things worse, there's no Meaghan today. She knew it'd happen but being in the locker room without her energy and dancing before a match is weird and it feels like a hole. From her first day on the team until now, nearly every match she's ever played for Portree, Meaghan was there. The whole roster may have changed, even the coaches, but Meaghan was the fixture. Now she was out in the sea of politics which everyone seemed thrilled about, and the most familiar face wasn't there.

It was stupid to be this shaken, they weren't in a war, but even Scrimmy knows this is just a visceral reaction to feeling dragged into politics that she's been avoiding. She keeps on her goggles and headphones until they start lining up to fly out. Only then does she put the walkman away and give Amir another little thumbs up as good luck. Taking a deep breath she tries to remember what Da had said about Uncle Rufus.

"-the most bloody stubborn force of nature anyone would ever meet.”

He wouldn’t have let a colour slow him down.

Tav was feeling nervous about the game, but in a good way. It had been awhile since he had last played professionally and he just wanted to not suck. Portree didn't even have to win as long as he didn't suck.

Meaghan wasn't there. But the day before she lingered after practice. And when everyone was gone, she pulled the Victory Sign out and stuck it on the wall of the locker room with a sticking charm.

She can't be there (she CAN'T, don't ask her) but she can do this much.

Pip goes through his normal pre-game warm up, hovering on the edges, but giving everyone a bright smile when they look his way. He does check in with Ainsley because they have each other's backs.

Lorna arrived with her hair already pink. It had been a full pink morning. Rhonna had been very interested in Mummy having pink hair, so naturally she wanted pink hair too. And when Lorna said she couldn't there was a bit of a meltdown... so a resolution had to be found, and Lorna found that by allowing Rhonna to wear her favourite outfit ever... her dragon Halloween costume, and compromised with transfiguring it pink. And Fergus, being a good boy, went dragon with his sister too by wearing his dragon hoodie and Lorna transfigured it pink.

SO! After all of that, Lorna had dropped the kids off to the Med Tent (Ama could go get them there later), and she headed off to the locker room. She was trying to not focus on Meaghan not being there. When Lorna first came back, Meaghan was the continuity that kept Lorna was losing it. She knew better now, this was HER team now, but it was still a shame for Meaghan not to be there (not that she didn't want Ainsley playing either).

Either way, she was ready, gave the team her Captain's words, and offered up the war paint to does who wanted it. Also, she made sure to spend time with Amir to go over their plays, and get him psyched up and focused for his first match.

Alasdair arrives in his usual manner - early (one of, if not the first there), in well presented casual clothes and carrying a mug of tea. The one difference? Yesterday, he went with [volunteer] to get his hair charmed pink. Charmed, not dyed, so it isn't messed up for the engagement party later in the month. You bet he was ready to join in, though, because he's been wearing enough pink this season that he was never going to let the side down. A former Quiberon man, he wears the colour well and with confidence.

While he's own to start with, he greets all of the team personally, and is notably warmer with some of those he doesn't know as well as others. It's been a rough week - again - and he's determined to make this a positive experience for the new guys.

Pre-Match Press Conference
[info]gwensational
2018-03-09 07:12 pm UTC (link)
Gwen and her Caerphilly counterpart, Ianto Rhys-Jones, who is very slick and quick and someone Gwen admires a lot, have arranged a press conference to address the coordinated pink representation the teams have pulled together for this match, as well as any other general questions the press might have for either team. Gwen pretty much always wears black and white because that is her personal brand, but today she has on a tasteful purple-and-gold scarf and a prominently displayed pink pin. She also has her young son David on her hip because he was extremely clingy today and wouldn't go with Gran and Granddad, looking grumpy but adorable in his Laddie the Lion hat and his own pink pin.

She starts off with a statement about Portree and Caerphilly's joint commitment to equity and equal opportunity and their support of Muggleborns in Quidditch. Ianto mentions the bit about all players, staff, and fans deserving a safe and comfortable environment for the sport that brings all witches and wizards together. "Quidditch Is For Everyone" is the slogan of note here. Gwen adds that the Pride of Portree have been running a "We All Fly With Pride" campaign all season in support of this very goal and that they have been proud to support the MUGWUMP Fund.

After that brief intro, the pair welcomed questions from the press about the stadium promotion (pink pins handed out to all fans), the pink presence on the field, staffing changes for both teams, or anything else.

(Press types, please feel free to give her [and Bart and Ellie, I do believe] any questions or comments! I have a few in mind that I'll type up a little later if no one else gets to them.)

It had not been a great couple of days, and Ainsley was having a harder and harder time getting out of her own head. The whole vibe in the locker room is off, and she could list a ton of reasons why just off the cuff. But none of that is helpful. Right now isn't the time to think about the festering mess of her personal life, not when she's starting her first official game with Pride for the season, and not when it's so important to send out the right message.

This is bigger than her. She would do this for her team; she would do it for Amir and Keke and Tav; she would do it for Jason King and the cause he so admirably championed.

And then Ellie's voice is suddenly in her head:

But now it is your turn.
SHOW THEM


She straightens from where she's been staring at her locker for who knows how long, and then slams the door shut and sweeps a mass of hot pink braids from her shoulder- eat your heart out Scary Spice. (And big thanks to Keke for the help!) Having retrieved it from her bag, she sets out a box of lavender cream macarons- a modest offering this time around, but tradition is tradition as far as she's concerned, and this is her pre-game ritual. (They might look suspiciously familiar to Alasdair, around whom she had been a little too amused for a few days of practice earlier in the week.)

She makes her way over to Lorna and nods toward the jar of hot pink. "Mind if I...?"

Today, she's going to war. Today, she's taking no prisoners.

For the first five minutes of the match, Amir is a nervous ball of energy. He flat out misses the bludger once, slicing through the empty air with his bat with such ferocity that he almost has to laugh at himself, but instead his face just turns as pink as his newly charmed hair.

He redeems himself on the second try, hitting a bludger straight toward a Catapult chaser's broom, causing them to spin off as they take a shot, giving Ainsley an easy save.

And suddenly he remembers he's getting paid for this, because he bloody made a professional quidditch team because he was good enough. Not the best, not brilliant, but good enough to play on a team and a team besides the Cannons at that!

He can do this. The nerves aren't completely gone, but he takes a deep breath and reminds himself that the sport isn't new to him, just this match.

Scrimmy is really glad she let Keke convince her into pink hair. It's much better than robe alterations and pulled back and out of her face it's easy to forget she has any pink on her. And once the match is underway she has adrenaline distracting and driving her.

She's still playing at her usual 500% intensity but it doesn't come easily, today she has to actively push herself to play with that kind of energy. Bloody Stubborn Force of Nature is her mantra today and boy does she use every bit of energy she has to try and make that a reality.

The more aggressive aussie-inspired style from the last match is back, it's been seeping into her playing for a while now, and she's barreling through small holes in the chaser defense with her tiny size and throwing every shot hard. Any pass her teammates toss her way, she tries to make count by flying deep into catapults territory. Alasdair is easy, they've had enough time to really get in sync, but incorporating Pepper is the goal today. Practice is all well and good but this is the real test for the new chaser lineup.

Alasdair has a clean game - no dodgy fouls being called here - and relatively lacking in error given that much of his concentration is on his Chaser teammates. He is, once more, working to get a third Chaser in sync with himself and Scrimmy, and it's not working badly at all. Just like the last match, he's working as the link player between his two peers, and it's working with a reasonable amount of success. It's not their best game, but it shows the three of them have potential, and Alasdair is pleased with the result.

He's relieved when Pip manages to get the Snitch, though. He's pretty relieved it's over.

Lorna was very focused for this game. Or tried to stay focused. This is Amir's first game and Lorna is confident in him. She is definitely taking lead, but she'd giving him plenty of opportunity to show being back up. She leads them into a number of maneuvers they'd practiced.

She is also particularly careful of Ainsley today. Not letting the Catapults think they can take her out because she's not Meaghan. It was while defending Ainsley (who got injured in a foul), Lorna got injured when her shoulder slammed into the goal post. Not enough to get her out of the game though.

Pip's Bombardment Foul

True to his word, Pip did his best to keep the other team (and it's seeker) on their toes/brooms. For the first forty-five, Pip is zig zagging across the pitch, ostensibly looking for the snitch. What he is actually doing is purposefully drawing bludgers into opposing players' paths. Apparently either someone complained or this did not endear him to the referee, because after he finished his 60 minute snack (an apple) and went to toss the core away he was warned for Bombarding the other team, despite the core's trajectory being no where near Caerphilly.

....It's not a mistake that Pip caught the snitch shortly thereafter.

By the time the bludgers are released and the game begins, Ainsley is already in the zone, more than ready to leave everything but the match behind. There's still that tiny thread of doubt- that obnoxious voice that says reserve reserve reserve when she tries to tell herself she deserves to be on that pitch as much as anyone- but today it's eclipsed more than anything by her need to prove Meaghan-fucking-McCormack wrong. She's been kicked around by life lately, but that's when she just has to pick herself right back up and go back out there again and again.

She's never really understood the dragon motif that the team has, but up there, hovering and darting around the hoops, she suddenly gets it as she protects her territory just as fiercely as the ones she'd seen at the MacFusty reserve. About thirty minutes in, as she's diving to get the quaffle back into Scrimmy's hands after making a nearly effortless save, one of the Cats' beaters gets close enough to collide with her leg. Her foot turns at a sudden sharp, unnatural angle. She barely registers the Lumbering foul call as pain explodes through her ankle and radiates up her leg.

She grunts through it, vision swimming for maybe half a second before she's right back to it. It's manageable, and she's definitely had worse. There's no way she's letting this game get away from her because of a little (a lot of) discomfort.
