Judges table

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy and the other already pressganged cheerleaders are sitting behind a loooong table, silently and not so silently judging you. They will talk amongst themselves, and may welcome bribes. Though not cheesecakes with booby-traps.

Buffy is very excited indeed. She has bottled water and a notebook and a pen with a fuzzy cap. She's totally ready to judge.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe takes aseat with a very large cup of mocha goodness and a notebook. She's bouncy and cheerful.

Lana came in and sat down a little nervously at the judge's table.

Janet's here, running late after clinic duty, though.

Alec took a seat at the judge's table, late but not too late.

Tryouts

Say your name and cabin. Cheer your heart out! Do impressive gymnastics! See if you can make Buffy's face turn purple! (leave a message in OOC thread if you're just here for the latter)

Jamie? Bored. Also? Still has glitter on him.

Maybe this is why he decides to try out for cheerleading.

"Hi. My name's Jamie Madrox and I'm here to represent the greatest cabin ever. CABIN STICKBUG! YEAH!"

Jamie then assumes the start position.

"Ready? OK!
Bang, bang, choo, choo train
Come on Stickbugs! Do your thing!
Get um, get um, get um, get um,
Got um got um got um got um..."

Jamie then does a dance move that's vaguely obscene that is accompanied by a loud grunt.

"And let it roll..."

Jamie then does a bunch of hopping and jumping followed by another cheer:

"Razzle Dazzle(clap clap clap)
Razzle Dazzle(clap clap clap)
My name is Jamie
I'm number one
My Razzle Dazzle has just begun
So when you see me step aside."

You know Jamie don't take no Jive!
Oooh baby I don't think I'm bad.
No, baby I know I'm bad."

Jamie then repeats the dance move that's vaguely obscene and accompanies it with another loud grunt.

"And let it roll..."

D nodded to those she knew at the judges table.

"D'anna Biers, Seawhorse."

Wow, was this embarrassing. Still, it kind of looked like fun good exercise, so she took a deep breath and smiled.

"Come on Germlins, You can do it, put a little bite into it!

B-I-T-E, bite!

We've got the power of the bite, cause we are the Gremlins. The bitey mighty gremlins!

We said it, and we meant it, and we're here to represent it! Cause we are the Gremlins! The bitey mighty gremlins!

GO GREMLINS!"

There had been a lot of clapping, some jumping, but no impressive gymnastics.

Re: Tryouts

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Being Swedish, wearing blue and gold comes easy to Pippi.

"Pippi Longstocking. I'm from the Noble Squirrel Cabin."

Pippi mimics the basketball cheers she found on the internet.

It won't, it won't, it won't go in,
It'll roll around the rim, but it won't go in.
THAT'S RIGHT!

Shoot for two, Gremlins, shoot for two
Take it, to the top of the key, we want three!
Shoot for two, shoot for two, Gremlins, push it through!
D-r-i-double b-l-e, take that ball to a victory!
Sink it, put it in, two points let's win!
Gremlins, rip up the court, score two more!

During the latter cheer, Pippi demonstrates some moderately impressive gymnastics. She doesn't stick her landings they way somebody who's been formally trained would, but she's got very good balance and a general disregard for her own well-being.

Nadia crept in after Pippi, obviously trying to be sneaky, holding her mallet above her head, poised for strike. She froze as she became aware of the judges, then very slowly turned first her eyes to them, then her head. Then she smiled and lowered the mallet.

"Ra, ra, ra?" She hesitantly cheered.
"Zis boom bah?
Gvemleens, gvemleens, bah bah bah,"
she struck an awkward pose, using the mallet as a pompom, then seemed to get more into it.
"Ve vill, ve vill, rock you!
Ve got spirit, yes ve do, ve got spirit, how aboat you?!
Let uz go, gvemleens, let uz go, (clap, clap)
You sought . . . sought you het . . . a wictory . . . but effidentally . . . you gut boornt!" She licked a finger and put it on her hip, making a hissing noise.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gvemleens!" Then she flounced off after Pippi.

Re: Tryouts

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Valter was creeping in from the other side of the gym in an attempt to corner Pippi for a proper malleting. Then Pippi flounced off, Nadia started to cheer, and suddenly flounced away, leaving Valter alone on the gym floor.

He looked around for a steamroller or zamboni to put him out of his misery, but there was none.

"Uhh... Reckah, rackah, virecreckah, sisss BOOM bah
Gremleens, gremleeens, rah rah rah!"

He waved an arm in the air in what was hopefully not an obscene gesture and scurried after Nadia and the sqvirrel.

Re: Tryouts

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel is in a very good mood today. She waved at everyone at the judges' table as she took her spot on the floor.

"I'm Isabel Evans, Meerkat Cabin"

She took a deep breath and started to cheer.

"Fandom Gremlins
Back in the race
Start it out right
Set, the pace
Lead the pack
Straight to the top
One more step
Give it all you've got
Strive together
Work for the dream
Let's go Gremlins
GO TEAM!"

There was cheering and some kicks, but no special gymnastics.

Re: Tryouts

[upforachase.livejournal.com]

Cordelia confidently steps up in her old Sunnydale cheerleading outfit. "Cordelia Chase, Three-Toed Sloth", she says before launching into her cheer.

"We've got the spirit,
we've got the right!
We're going to win the game tonight!
We've got the talent,
we've got the heat!
the Gremlins just can't be beat!"

Cordelia does some gymnasticky type things which the mun is obviously familiar with, and launches into another cheer.

"We're movin' IN, we're movin' OUT
We are the team, let's hear you shout!
Catch the spirirt that we create
'Cause tonight's the night we dominate!
Say it loud, say it proud: GREMLINS!
One more, GREMLINS!"

Again with the clapping and the hopping and the dancing and the gymnastics.

As Cordelia finishes, she bows gracefully and stands back.

It would figure that Hamlet left a book in the camp gym last week when he was forcefully held hostage by cheerleaders. It would also figure that he'd only remember that on the day of cheer squad tryouts. Because his mun's kind of mean like that.

He blinks a couple of time and swears in Danish, before trying to sneak out the side door, in hopes that no one's seen him yet.

Re: Tryouts

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John is not here. Someone else is though!

"Hello. Me and my friend are here to try out for cheerleading. We're agile, not fragile, wicked cool, and the best in the school!"

To accentuate that, she does a little kick and waits for her partner.

Re: Tryouts

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

Oh. This was a bad day to come to the gym. Demyx wondered if he had the worst timing of anybody for coming to the gym.

"Uh..." With a shifty look, he started to edge back to the door. Then saw pompoms. And had to go poke at them. He picked up a set of pompoms and rattled them, an expression of amusement and glee forming on his face.

Re: Tryouts

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth wasn't exactly looking thrilled to be out there. In fact, she might have turned to glare at someone (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/613237.html?thread=36788597#t36788597) in the bleachers.

"Uh, Elizabeth Weir, from the Pangolin cabin," she said.

"Go! Go! Grem-lins! Go! Go! Grem-lins!" Elizabeth began, clapping and bouncing and kicking as appropriate.

"We are the Gremlins from Fandom Town,
Listen carefully 'cuz you're going down.
We're not gonna take any of your sass.
We're just gonna kick your ass."

Elizabeth stepped back for a couple of cartwheels, landing them neatly enough. She hesitatated for a moment, before turning her back to the judges and took a couple of running steps foward for a roundoff (http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/publications/usa-gymnastics/1996/4/coaching-corner.html) followed by two sloppy back handsprings. She finished by dropping down into the splits and there was wincing as she experimentally moved her left shoulder briefly.

Re: Tryouts

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Arriving a bit late, River quietly stated: River Tam, Puffin Cabin. She then proceeded to make a backwards cartwheel, and when back on her feet she spun around, and proceeded to kick an unlucky member of the audience in the chest. Spinning around fast, River threw the first pom pom at Buffy, and then the other one up in the air, giving it a kick before collapsing on the ground.

Heckle! Clap! Cheer the cheerleaders! Sell soft drinks and hot dogs!

Re: ooc!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi had been unaware of Nadia's presence because she was just soooo sneaky!

She was surprised, but no less delighted that Nadia had decided to try out for the squad.

She cheered and clapped for her friend's extraordinary performance (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/613237.html?thread=36669813#t36669813).

[can_be_more]

Aeryn really has no interest in cheerleading, though after so many people made such a big deal out of it, she has to see exactly what it is.

By about halfway through, she looks like she's developed a slighty head-shaking tic, and she keeps repeating things like, "Oh, frell no," or "Why?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth wandered in with a soda, grinning at Janet sitting at the judges table and sprawling on the bleachers to watch.

Talk to the Coach

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Of course, she mightn't listen to you...

Re: Talk to the Coach

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Callisto?" D asked. "I didn't expect to see you here. Are you trying out?"

ooc!

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Nothing you do can frighten me. Nothing you do can frighten me. Nothing you do...

Re: ooc!

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

Keep telling yourself that popkin, it might come true. ;)
