[ Ohai Yuri is looking pretty serious! Not that she usually looks silly, she just.. looks like she's got an idea. It's not a bad thing, of course. First things first. ]

Sokka! I need to talk to you in person ASAP! Scorpius, you too, but after Sokka. [ Yuri thinks Sokka would probably object to what she needs to ask Scorpius about, after all. ]

Everyone else: Favorite sport, go.

[ Someone helped her learn how to filter things much better, okay. ]

Meeting tomorrow morning. 9am. Go to the fountain; you'll be able to get instructions on where to go from there. Let me know if you can't make it before the meeting.

{{ OOC: I'll be posting a thread on her appointments post for the meeting in a little bit. I will update the OOC note here with the link when it's up. Meeting is here. Yuri will have someone from the SSS stand around the fountain from 8 to 9 and tell anyone in the SSS where to go. }}

Sport from my world that we play on brooms. Rules get quite lengthy and complicated, but the short of it is you have the Quaffle, two Bludgers and the Snitch. You've three Chasers who play with the Quaffle and try to score through one of three goal hoops that are protected by the opposite team's Keeper. The two Beaters fly around and knock Bludgers out of the way to protect their teammates and distract their opponents. As for the Snitch, only the Seeker focuses on that. Catch the Snitch, you earn yourself 150 points.

So, without the fancy names it's.. you toss the ball around and try to score a goal by getting the ball-- I'm guessing a quaffle is a kind of ball since most sports play with balls-- past the goalie. Meanwhile something tries to beat the crap out of everyone unless the beaters beat the crap out of them first and some guy looks for a fancy easter egg to win a whole lot of points. On brooms. You guys had better be wizards or the brooms thing kind of made the whole thing a little lame.
