QUIDDITCH TEAM RED (1)*

This team is going to be great! Go team red!! I vote for keeping the red as our team color.

I'd like to go ahead and nominate Pidge for captain, because she's amazing at flying and strategy and leadership. I'm not at all biased, it's totally true.

And anyone got suggestions for team names?

Red's a good, aggressive color.

I'd be happy to be captain. We could also do general physical training/teamwork/drills together off the pitch given how short practices are. We can totally use the Castle of Lions for that. Allura will agree to it, I'm sure.

I haven't seen Ron in person, but otherwise we're Team Tiny here. And okay, I wanna throw out the idea of dung beetle because poop. But the rhinoceros beetle and leafcutter ants are tiny but both lift MANY MANY times more than their own body weight. Which feels comparable to us here. We'll pulverize the other teams.

	And this is why you have my vote. I like leafcutter ants, myself, but I have to admit the rhinoceros beetle looks more intimidating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's a lot of options for more broom time too. We'll see what schedule works out for that. Leafcutter ants were where my brain first went. I found the rhinoceros beetle googling. And see, a question is... HOW intimidating do we want to be? If they underestimate us, that's just one more tool in our kit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know how underestimated we'll be, since we have the Gryffindor theme going and we have both Harry and Ron on our team. But I mean, I love leafcutter ants. And we could do a cool design with them on red. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Every team has two HP (no offense, Harry, you just really are how that whole multiverse is known) people on it, at least one of them being known as good at quidditch. In that regard, it's well balanced. Also, other than the non-Hogwartsian person, they're all from Gryffindor (or in one universe, at least they are... were you sorted, Harry?). But yeah, even if they underestimate us, that'll only be for a game, tops.

Me too. Is anyone on our team good at drawing? Friends with someone good at drawing?

	That's true. We've got our work cut out for us. But we can totally be the champions. I'm not terrible, but I probably someone else is better at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It wouldn't be worth nearly as much to be champions if it were easy. It's better this way. You're definitely better than me. But we can see who else we got! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, agreed. I'm very excited. Tony's pretty good at it too. I don't know if he's ever drawn insects though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't suppose the ceremony is necessary. Eh, me neither. (Reply to this) (Parent)
