Snerking awake, as he'd dozed off, the Gym teacher blew the whistle, starting the game. As the players raced to the line for balls and back to their white lines, he continued checking his watch.

Shirav nodded to Elissa. Quite a pretty girl, he thought. Aphrodite? Well, that explains quite a lot.
"Quite right. I'm a son of Apollo. Pleased to meet you, Elissa Alvizu, and as you already know, my name is Shirav Antounie," he said as he grabbed two balls and jogged back to the white line. "You have a rather impressive effect on our audience. Nevertheless, let's focus on our current... predicament, shall we?"
He turned around, facing the other side of the field, where Ross stood alone. Shirav almost felt bad for the guy. He just stood there by himself, but an aura of power radiated off of him. Wonder who's his godly parent? Shirav mused to himself.
He watched the referee out of the corner of his eye, tapping his foot in annoyance. The guy didn't seem to care about anything at the moment. As Shirav waited for the game to begin, he started to hum a quiet tune, the almost inaudible notes drifting throughout the field.
The whistle sounded loudly.
Aiming one of his balls carefully at Ross, Shirav called an apology, then hurled it as hard and fast as he could. The red blur shot over the field, flashing over the line in the middle, straight towards the lone figure who stood on the opposite side.
Apollo, father, if you can hear me now... make it land.

Lynn watched nervously, hopping on one foot to the other, knowing the gym teacher wasn't about to blow the whistle on anything if he kept looking at his watch. To be fair, there were only four of them; Seriously, how long could this really take?
The two who had arrived on time looked a tad troublesome. One tall and one who'd threw balls in an attempt to destroy them. Unsure of his survival, he saw a distant figure say something to him, but his heart was hammering a drum beat. A ball was thrown, and he attempted to dodge it; like any good quaffle-ball, it tried to stick to him. Running in a circle and ducking as the ball whizzed by his ear for the second time, he'd thought he be beat.
Attempting a Kung-fu move he'd seen in a Bruce Lee movie, he skirted the white line stayed in-bounds. Gravity seemed to be winning, his lack of inertia to cartwheel forcing him towards earth. A blow to his midsection ended whatever thought had come up. Head and shoulders on the ground, spine and feet half up in the air, a quaffle was jammed into him. Wheezing for a moment, he wasn't sure if he should be elated or not.
The sugar kid only looked on like he should be getting up after that blow and laughed. The arguing couple started 'tsking' after a short pregnant silence. The gym teacher yelled that he should walk it off. Rolling back onto his feet, he shuffled with the ball in hand. 'The girl wanted to break something. Lets see if she can break him.' Approaching the white line, he eyeballed his opponent. Athletic, she'd likely dodge the ball. Spinning the quaffle like a basketball, he stepped back and threw the ball at a curve. Provided the ball even crossed the lines, she'd have certainly needed to be quick about her decision on what to do with it.You're up. *Ball was caught. I didn't actually expect it either. Feel free to put in another player or harass the elderly couple. wink

 If Elissa was alarmed over the events that transpired a few minutes ago, she did not show it at all, still nothing but the show of her composure her father's complexion would have had her display.
'If Ross truly has the blood of the gods in his veins, I'm not meant to know which ones are in his family tree right now,' Elissa thought to herself as she goes to prepare to dodge the ball.
Queens of England?Its funny the Coach would be mentioning it, because rumor has it that some of the Queens for England, let alone Britain in general, might have had the blood of mother in their veins, I'm not sure which Queens though, so don't ask me to verify, Elissa silently responded to herself, knowing this was the sort of thing Mina, or even Miranda Creusa would have noted, Elissa didn't say it loud enough for everyone to hear and the most of anyone who'd catch the words would have been Ross or Shirav.
The ball was moving rather slowly for Elissa, for reasons that are not yet clarified as either her perceptions being halted or her reactions and reflexes about to be too much, time itself will reveal which one it is as Elissa goes to dodge the ball in question.
'I'll worry about laughing in relief after I don't have to worry about that ball hitting me,' Elissa thought, as she prepares to make the dodge as soon as she can manage.
*Its a 4, now the answers will be revealed
To be fleshed out soon*
Elissa goes to dodge gracefully, amazed with how much quicker her reactions and reflexes could track the ball than the ball could tag her at this time.
Elissa avoids the ball with an unseemly grace when she sensed the ball broke the visible sound spectrum at Mach 3, she dodged the initial attempt to hit her, before the ball followed her and went twice as fast in an attempt to tag her.
'Father, thank you for the Training from Tartarus,' as
she was dodging the ball like a Ballerina was dancing in a beautiful play, where the wondrous scenes were happening the minute the ball went Mach 12 on her.
The Audiences of either gender were already shocked enough as it is, to hear how Ross managed to dodge Shirav's throw and counter-attack a guy with mad aiming skills in general, the fact that they were watching Elissa dodging like a madwoman if madwomen had grace was enough for the faint of heart to look away.
Surprisingly unable to cross the opposing line for disqualification's sake, Elissa managed to dodge the ball as most Vanilla mortals among the invited people were struggling to track that ball, turning the Dodgeball field's Hufflepuff-Slytherin side into a War zone the longer this goes on.
'Father stated to go easy on the opposition, but the way I see it its as if I didn't stick with the spirit of the request at all, father has every right to scold me if and when I get back, if he so chooses,' Elissa thought, as now the Ball was on Mach 48 as Elissa continued to Dodge like Mad, as if she was a Swan not out of place in their lake at peace with everything around them, that's how naturally the dodging was coming to Elissa.
Elissa goes to think to herself on this,'That's enough!' as Elissa goes to dodge the ball one last time before she grabbed the Quaffle ball, the minute the ball stopped moving after she grabbed the ball by the half of it that wasn't out to hit her.
A lot of the guys were already cheering that Elissa was able to dodge all of that from just one ball alone, even some of the guys who are still cheering for Ross respect this, all the while the females in the crowd were feeling alarmed by Elissa's presence in the field.
Elissa prepares to throw the ball at Ross, with enough force to smash 745 kg's worth of Diamonds and pray it doesn't get Ross killed for this, in hopes the Medical Insurances of the field are even 1/5th as good as they think they are.
'Sorry about that, Cousin Ross,' as very unlike herself, Elissa goes to blow a kiss to Ross, knowing that Miranda Creusa or
Mina would have considered doing the same, a lot of single
guys were getting startled by what's going on.
The folks among the audiences have enough reason to suspect that this match might be the beginning of the stuff of Legends, not seen since either the Ancient Times or the times of the Round Table, that stuff people
would be glad to write home about.
The General of NS9, Robert Allen, was already watching among the Audiences at this minute, along with a War Veteran in the field next to him.
(OOC: If I don't get Elissa to respond back immediately, I'm probably busy watching a Movie in Theaters!) (OOC: This music will be playing in the match's course, now! )

The ball plowed into him, with nowhere near enough time to dodge. He thought briefly to himself that this was a fitting fate; that the afterlife would have given him wings to fly anyway. This must be what it's like to drop out of the sky. In his next lifetime, Lynn wanted to be a hawk, or a hummingbird. The hawk could skim the air, but the hummingbird could fly backwards.
The wall was impending, he was sure, but somewhere between broken ribs which he was expected to walk off and gravity, he stopped short of the line. Rolling over back onto his feet, he shambled his way over to the gate for medical attention. That had to be an outlawed move.

The gym teacher sighed in relief. His 'Volunteer service' for that little accident was finished off.
"Injured boy! To the hospital. Team Slytherin-Ravenclaw wins. Ya'll git home now."
He stalked off the field preparing a small party for himself.
((Free for all now. No rules, no limitations, no time/space issues to contest with.))

A young boy walk into the gym that was a bit tall for his age that have hazel eyes and brown hair that seem to wave around, he notice that there was already people in here that were already playing without him. He sighed some being he wasn't sure why he came in but he walk over to where the gym teacher was so he could introduce himself. Once Luigi was close enough for the gym teacher to hear him he spoke, " My name is Luigi sir and I want to be in this game but I not sure where to go can you point my to where I need to be." Luigi waited for the teacher to answer him.

Having come in with a nasty hangover only recently solved by some irish coffee, the Gym teacher cursed his luck that the courts didn't think it actually qualified as volunteer service if it didn't last three rounds. "You, boy. The injured one already headed to the nurses office, the pansy. The boy on that side of the field was already tagged out. Until the girl is targeted, neither of the other two are open for attack. You want Eliza, or whatever her name is."
Sitting in the stands, nursing his head, he wouldn't have voluntarily gotten up if the world was about to end.

'If this is a free-for-all, its time to prepare for the worst case scenario and be ready,' Elissa thought to herself when she realized that a guy named Luigi has arrived.
'I can't afford to drop my guard for even a minute,' as Elissa goes to look at the boy and prepare herself for getting hit by the ball,'One way or another I will have to check on the boy at the hospital, but not yet,' as Elissa felt tense when she goes to look at the crowd around her, as if they were aware anything can happen at this point
before she looks back at Luigi.
(OOC: Your turns, SDF and Luigi!
This post isn't as focused as the earlier ones, sadly. sad )

Gym teacher read the memo passed onto him. "No die casts, no fate stay dead, absolutely no outside control over physic or fate whatsoever."
Screeching in frustration, he'd realized he'd never get out of this gig.
(( No more dice casts. I tried throwing in some unusual elements, and it bombed. Maybe this is will be more productive. As a test, it wasn't successful in the way I'd hoped. Like Edison however, it's not a failure if I got something out of it.
As a general reminder, you can't dodge all the time.))

Luigi nodded when the gym teacher spoke then he handed onto the court, once he made it there he looked across the room to where a woman was standing on the other side. Luigi bowed his head toward her but then spoke, "It nice to meet you and I hope you have fun playing this with me." Luigi then started looking around for a dodgeball but he notice there wasn't any on the side where he was standing so he did his best to get ready for her attack when she threw the next ball at him.

Lynn Ross sat in the stands, his ribs wrapped. Sipping a soda, he waited for his ribs to heal like they usually would, quicker then the average. Unsure whether he wanted to rejoin the crowd below, he settled on watching for the moment.

After Ross had caught his ball, Shirav had jogged over to the stands amidst the jeers and catcalls of the audience. "Idiots," he muttered, thrusting his hands into his pockets and sitting down quietly, turning and snarling feline-like at the few people who had not turned back to the action. They fell silent.
Shirav dozed off, bored, and when he woke up, the game was over. He looked down, and sitting some distance away from him was Ross. He seemed to have broken a few ribs, from the awkward way he was holding himself. Wonder who got him out, he thought to himself. Must throw pretty darn hard.
The gym teacher read out the new rules while the last two players were still battling it out on the field. I can rejoin? Thought Shirav. Eh, do I really want to? Mmm... Yeah. Yeah I do. Alrighty...
He jogged down the stands and jumped the railing into the field, walking calmly towards Elissa. Picking up a dodgeball, he hefted it in his hand, testing its weight. Throw or wait? Hmm... I'll wait. I wanna see what this guy can do, he thought, eyeing Luigi.
