[--So, students of Floodholme, here's a probably very familiar sight. Yeah, it's that one kid. The skinny little fiesty guy who's roommates with Tony Stark and Keeper for the Cockerel quidditch team. That kid that looks like he's gonna break in half every time a quaffle flies his way. (But his team still wins, so ...there.)

Anyway, Steve's in the infirmary, looking -- slightly bruised, to say the very least. He's recuperating from a fall off his broomstick from the last quidditch game, courtesy of a bludger smacked his way. He might sound a little hoarse and out of breath, too. But he's got a pile of schoolbooks around him, and is looking very determined.]

Tony? Could you bring me the transfiguration homework, maybe? ...Or, uh. [He pauses to clear his throat a little, with a wince.]

I dunno. If anyone wants to say hello, that's alright, too.


((OOC: Welcome to breach!Steve. He's bitty, a Keeper, prone to getting sick, and the most stubborn sonofabitch you will probably ever meet. He's also best friends with Tony Stark and Bucky Barnes, a decent student, and a pretty friendly guy despite his teeniness.))

[Steve is eyeing him somewhat warily.]

A bludger to my side happened. We won the match, though.

[thestarspangledman]

[--His jaw is setting in that particular way that means he's ready for a fight.]

I'm thinking you should maybe mind your business, Russo.

[thestarspangledman]

Probably cleaning up an explosion or something. [He's grinning, though, and takes the book.]

I dunno, maybe Tony can figure something out. There's a bonus to having a genius for a roommate.

[rass_bestie]

[He gives a snort.] I'll ask Narvin or Trip later. [Because if it's not one, it's the other.]

I'll give it some thought too, if you like. [He's no slouch in that department either.]

[thestarishere]

[Ooooh he's scared.

...he's also literally heartless, thank you Prefect, so. Completely unfazed but hugely amused.]

Bark bark bark. What're you gonna do about it?

[hourglass_twin]

My health is as frail as yours, and yet I spend far less time in the infirmary. I wonder why that is?

Oh yeah, I don't go out looking to get hit with large, heavy objects.

It's kind of sad to watch. And funny. Like an ant trying to escape from a pitcher plant.

[thestarspangledman]

[A little bit of a sigh.]

Thanks, great to know I can be a source of entertainment.

[thestarspangledman]

I'm sure we could all figure something out sooner or later.

[thestarspangledman]

...Sorry, how much did your team lose by this game? I forgot.

[rass_bestie]

[He eyes him doubtfully.] I don't suppose I could convince you to bench yourself until I'm done?

[hourglass_twin]

Yeah, it gives me something to do while I'm in here, distinctly not going anywhere with large, heavy flying objects.

[thestarspangledman]

The team needs me.

[rass_bestie]

[He sighs worriedly.] It's sport. No one will get hurt or wounded if you lose.

Besides, it might make it actually interesting to the spectators. You do win a lot, you know.

[Here's B, getting patched up for one of her usual injuries – this time it's just a nasty scrape on her knee. She's looking at Steve in admiring consternation.] I can't believe you fell off. The game wasn't even that rough.

[thestarspangledman]

I can't help it if Bucky and I make a good team. [A little pause, so he can clear his throat.]

No. I'm not gonna let Arthas have that satisfaction.

[thestarspangledman]

[A little shrug.] I like flying.

[thestarspangledman]

No, but the bludger aimed at my ribs might have had more to do with that. [But they still won, because yeah, Steve and Bucky are an awesome team.]

[thestarspangledman]

I'm okay. I've had worse.

[hourglass_twin]

I was referring to the bludger, not you.

[no_fastolfe]

We should have helmets. We're a magic school, we have the technology for cushioning charms...

If you had a lower center of gravity and locked your legs around your broom you wouldn't have fallen.

And I never said that, especially if anyone in Shark asks.

[rass_bestie]

Arthas is going to spend the rest of his life in a dead-end job, if he even makes it out of here at all. Give him his satisfaction and keep your health. You each have a dearth of both.

[imfollowinghim]

Want some company? I've got a free period.

[thestarspangledman]

Please. You have no idea how bored I am. [....Well, he might, but.]

[imfollowinghim]

I'll be right down. You want anything besides homework?
