Magical Reserve - Preserve Next to the Cabins, Wednesday

[wantstodirect]

"Hey!" Tony said, once people had gathered. "Today we're working on shields again, but this time we're going to play British Bulldogs with magic." He pointed to a couple of people. "You and you. You guys are the bulldogs. Your job is to catch everyone else. If you touch them - skin or clothes - then they're a bulldog, too, and have to go after the others. Everyone else, your job is to not get touched."

Tony pointed to bright yellow crime scene ribbons tied to trees around the edge of the clearing. "That's the boundaries. If you go outside the boundaries, you automatically become a bulldog. Today we're only doing shields, so you can use shields and you can attack shields but no other kind of magic. Ready?"

After any questions had been answered, Tony pointed to one of the bulldogs. "Count to ten, slowly. When you get to ten, the game's on. Start now."

Arrive/Mingle

[wantstodirect]

Coffee and doughnuts available. The second and fifth person to tag into this thread will be our starting bulldogs.

Coffee and doughnuts? It was clear that Tony and Merlin really wanted them to have lots of energy for the game. Karla took a few extra doughnuts to make sure she'd have enough sugar to last the entire meeting. Ahh, the joys hazards of wearing a Dark Jewel.

Doughnuts. Nom.

Eleanor had brought along tea, enough for several people, in fact. She did snag a doughnut, though.

(helps to post it correctly)

"Well hey there Kitty." Leda grinned at Eleanor. "Nice to see you de-furried. And no longer in heat."

Arthur was keeping to the area far outside the yellow tape as he watched the proceedings. He wasn't here to participate, after all - he was here to see how things kept up.

He was not a control freak. Hush.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[glacial_queen]

Karla sauntered over to the yellow tape. "Lady Karla?" she asked. "You seemed quite insistent on getting my title correct on the radio last night, Arthur."

And Leto had decided to stop by today too, also for inspecting what they were doing, and not for participating. He had no talents that he would define as magic, after all.

Morgana made sure she was outside of the yellow ribbons, so she could watch without interfering with the game. She wasn't a control freak like some people - she was genuinely curious about the kinds of magic people here could do.

Leda had a pretty flower in her hair today. Just because. Mmm, doughnuts. Mmm, blueberry and chocolate frosted doughnuts. "I'm totally gonna get fat." she muttered, realizing she'd put four of the pastries on her plate. That was actually impossible for an elf.

Dinah had shown up to at least watch what was going on, but was now really, really tempted to join in, even if she wasn't sure her TK worked that way.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

Agnes was there for the coffee and doughnuts. And, you know, magicking. She tried very hard not to feel inadequate next to everyone else, because this was where she BELONGED.

Diana had an apple that she was cheerfully crunching on.

Questions?

[wantstodirect]

After Tony's done his spiel, ask questions, make comments, etc, etc, etc.

Re: Questions?

[glacial_queen]

"May we use shields to attack?" Karla asked.

Re: Questions?

[heartflames.livejournal.com]

"I was thinking," Eleanor spoke up, "has anyone ever compared how our different magics work? And whether or not one individual's magic could affect another's? It might help to know how our magics would react in the event of an attack."

British Bulldog

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10 - GO!

Ghanmia's class on Monday would certainly help today. Eleanor was quick on her feet, changing directions quickly to reach people.

Re: British Bulldog

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda concentrated. The same energy that she used for her little blasts, spread out around her as a shield. This was one of her first attempts so it was fairly weak and spotty.

It was also rather visible. Shimery and glowy. Plainly showing the places where it was weak and spotty.

But Leda was also very good at running and dodging.

Re: British Bulldog

[glacial_queen]

Karla kept her shield invisible, while she wandered around idly. It would be interesting to see who took the bait. She also kept it close to her own body. No reason to use it offensively yet.

She was whistling in a kind of "Lalala, I have no cares in the world" kind of way.

Re: British Bulldog

[finding-x-dream.livejournal.com]

Agnes didn't have any shields to speak of, so she stomped through the marked off area and glared at anyone who looked like they might tag her.

...And if she became less noticeable? So that other people's eyes watered if they tried to focus on her, and they found themselves directing their attention elsewhere? That was actually completely unintentional.

After the Game

[wantstodirect]

For post-game mingling and chat.

Talk to the Guys

[wantstodirect]

Once they ping in.

Re: Talk to the Guys

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin was there! Of course, before leaving to help Shilo.

Re: Talk to the Guys

[wantstodirect]

Tony was also there.

OOC

Trying something new! Questions welcome. Also, feel free to handwavily become a bulldog if you choose.
