Difficult Decisions... The List by The Craven Captains
OOC - What the twins would decide and what I would decide are two different things. See the OOC for details of how I'm keeping it faithful to them but fair to you guys.IC
The tryouts had been hard. And not just in terms of blood and sweat (the Cravens didn't shed tears). The decisions to be made afterwards had been testing. Sorrel and Ash didn't go in for sentimentality and all that 'well tried' crud. If someone wasn't up to the standard of the cut, they had to accept it. The trouble was, the hopefuls were a pretty damn good clutch. But decisions had to be made, and once they were, the twins hastened to put the news up on the notice board.
QUIDDITCH TEAM:
Beaters: Us
Chasers: Lizzie Lavine,
Saul Pierce
Meredith Lail
Keeper: Stephen Baxter
Seeker: Elly Eriksson
Reserves: Caedence Redoak, Irene Liddowe. Reserves will get to play some games.
They felt harsh dropping Caedence, but the girl had been an uncommonly high site for accidents last year, some brought on herself, and had openly declared she didn't mind moving over. The announcement of their assistant captain had also made them face up to the fact they weren't going to be around forever. Breaking in some new chasers now for a smoother chageover wouldn't be a bad idea. The last line of the announcement suggesting that this was being borne in mind. There was just one last thing to do, Sorrel having the dubious pleasure, once a quick scan around the commons revealed them empty of their quarry. She climbed the stairs to the girls' rooms, knocking on the second years' door. Sure, they didn't believe in molly-coddling people who were sent packing because they were losers, but when someone did themselves proud, they deserved a pat on the back.
"Hey Irene," she said as she entered, feeling a little awkward. Even when deserved, she wasn't good at this kind of thing, and Irene was a really little kid to her. It felt far too maternal for her liking. "I... I'm sorry you didn't make it but," she said in one great long rush, hoping to get it out quickly enough that the compliment sunk in before the hurt of the loss hit her too hard. Especially in case she burst into tears over it or something, "you were good. I just wanted to tell you that... So, like, you didn't think we thought you were rubbish or anything, cos you really weren't. It's good to know there's guys like you ready to take it over in a couple of years when we graduate. No need for the team's glory days to go all fumbly during a change over, cos people like you will be there and ready. So that's cool, for us. Nice to know there's people to take over."
OOC - sorry to decide your character was in there - hope that's not a problem. I just thought it would be easier, and wanted to make sure that Sorrel got to you before you got to the list, as she would have made sure she did.
