PreGame - Mascot Double Feater

laddiethelion
2017-11-12 03:05 am UTC (link)

Per their arrangement, Tor and Gregor take the pitch for a pre-game show. The point is mainly to warm up the crowd before the match and give them a good time. Laddie is out there wearing a kilt over his lion costume and there's a piper's duel to kick things off.

Other highlights include duets, fan dancing competition, and a large pipe and drum corps. Yes, they'll do a bunch of the scottish standards and at one point it's probably Gregor leading the pipes and Torquil leading drums in some badass routines.

Montrose strategy/talk (as suggested by coach the night before)
[obviously he's not playing so what happens in the air is...up in the air]

Chasers: Zone defence, block those passing routes and really box them in. Use bludger fire to our advantage on offence.
Beaters: Keeper keeper keeper. We're only getting shots past McCormack if the beaters gain us some ground on offence. On defence it's Buchanan to aim for, but make sure you don't lose sight of Lorna.
Keeper: Watch out for that Aussie and her angled shots, and the tiny one throws hard. Buchanan we've gone over
Seeker: Same as always. He's a big man and we don't know much about him but he's new the to the team, the league, and our way of playing. You can beat him.

Day of:
No strategy talk, it's been drilled in enough by now. MG simply says that Portree are a fierce team regardless of recent events. Don't underestimate them, and go hard.

Now let's show them who the greatest scottish team really is.

Pre-Game Montrose

scrambles
2017-11-11 01:36 pm UTC (link)

Angus arrived early in fine form with lots of energy, cracking jokes and ribbing everyone as is his usual pregame ritual. He claimed to be wearing armour under his robes -- MacFusty protection, you see.

He took some time to sit with Lennox in quiet support like usual, too, though his energy level made it hard to sit still. Somebody should teach him about meditation, seriously.

Lex arrives super early and goes through all her pre game rituals slowly and deliberately. She's more nervous than she lets on about today's game. A) it's their arch nemesis Portree, B) the opposing beater pair is the Macfusty siblings, C) It's Kal's first match for Montrose.

Teammates might catch her talking to herself a bit. She's trying to keep personal feelings off the pitch, but she really wants to knock Meaghan off her broom.

There's some extra fidgeting with her gloves and extra pep talks for her teammates. If she can convince them that they'll win, she can convince herself, right?

Other people might be super into the rivalry, but to some extent, Jason probably took the match up against the Bats more seriously (as they are a better ranked team). That being said, he brought Mandela into the locker room ahead of time and was showing off all the cool new tricks Mandela can do.

At one point he joked with Lennox that if he doesn't catch the snitch today, Mandela would be a fierce seeker.

Minerva McGonagall and four seventh-year quidditch captains knock on the door and ask if they can come in and meet the team. Despite being dressed in Montrose colors, McGonagall claims strict neutrality, but rolls her eyes as she does so. Recent grads probably know the captains and it's a friendly and fannish moment.

Minerva is proud to see so many people she taught making a living in wizarding's unique and special sport. "Make me proud, children, I am counting on you."

Roger likely arrived early, he would have gone over all his kit before changing into it. He pays particular attention to his broom, making sure there are no stray twigs in the tail etc. He'll switch gloves twice, always ending up wearing the ones he chose first, and re-laces his boots twice before he's happy - this is just his way of focusing his energy, even if it seems a little odd.

This is not Rannoch and there are no ducks to feed, and Meaghan feels the loss. Just throwing bread in the ocean is not the same.

But she's feeling good about this. Well, she's feeling fine. If MacDonald was still around she'd feel great but they had Lorna MacbloodyFusty back again and that was pretty damn good and she wasn't gonna be bludgered outta the match with her on guard so she wasn't worried. It was gonna be fine.

........maybe she should get a little portable duck pond to take along for away matches.

Pre-Game Portree: Press Stuff with Gwen!

gwensational
2017-11-11 04:44 pm UTC (link)

Gwen was at the pitch extremely early, to no one's surprise; she's been speaking with reporters, fan clubs, team sponsors, prominent supporters, and other interested parties for more or less four days straight about the current situation, and today she's arranged a brief presser before the match, which Lorna, Pip, and Cav are ~~ordered~~ invited to attend before they go to the locker room to dress for the match. They've all been briefed on the company line about being excited for the new lineup and confident in their leadership, and ready to go out and give Montrose a good game. Anything else they say should be positive and forward-looking.

After fifteen minutes of benign questions, when a reporter manages to ask about the rumour that Isla Cameron was let go because she's Muggleborn, Gwen takes over. "First, let me correct you: Ms. Cameron was not let go. Leaving the team was her own choice; we respect that decision and cordially wish her much success in her future endeavours. Second, we at Portree embrace and welcome all witches and wizards regardless of blood status. We've always had players, staff, and fans from all backgrounds united under the proud mantle of Portree, and as our record of employing and celebrating Muggleborns shows, we certainly do not discriminate in any way. Now, our players have to get ready for the match. No more questions, please."

Alasdair sits on a bench in the locker room, leaning back against the wall with his eyes closed. He isn't nervous, but contemplative - and he'll talk to anyone who wants/needs to before the match. He probably sticks closest to the Chasers, discussing their practises and strategies. He expects to be got at this match, and looks into passing to Joy and Scrim as much as possible.

In the locker room, Lorna was nervous and was wishing she'd had more time with the team. She's confident to get back in as a beater, but not as confident about being Captain for this team. She's fine with Luag and Meaghan, Pip is new anyway, but she wished more so she'd had more time going over strategy with the chasers.

Still she got her game face (and match hair) on. Lorna would have mustered up some pre game speech about being honoured to play with the team and be their Captain, to give them confidence that above all she would help protect them out on the field, and she was looking forward to continuing to work with them.
