002 [Gryffindor Common Room Video/Action]

[zeros_requiem]

[As the video starts, it looks like Suzaku is in a good mood. Which he's been in since the holiday season, fighting with Kallen aside]

Looks like I made one of the new quidditch teams. Its seems a bit strange that we'll be going up against members of our own houses, but its all a game, so its not a big deal. [Its not like he cared much for the

I dunno, I thought 'Team One' sounded pretty catchy. [ Come on, HK, be helpful. ]

I'm one of the Chasers, Hong Kong. Nice to meet you.

[zeros_requiem]

Hong Kong...

[That's... a weird name. But Suzaku figures that maybe people just like to name their kids after states and cities where HK is from.]

Nice to meet you.

'Team One' kind of sounds like a rank of designation. We should probably try for something a bit more... personal.

[fragrancy]

[ Not exactly, but Hong Kong has no reason to make the distinction for now, so Suzaku can go on thinking his name is weird! ]

Pleasure.

Personal, yeah? I guess everyone else's gonna have their vote. Are there any other countries on our team? [ Never mind, he has a reason to make a distinction. ]

[zeros_requiem]

...Countries?

[za_rodina]

Most of the players seem to be Gryffindor, so it would be inevitable for them.

But Privjet, I'm Russia, one of the beaters. Pleasure to meet you~

[zeros_requiem]

Gryffindor seems to have the largest influx of draftees, for some odd reason. I wonder why that is...?

[But he can ponder that later.]

Nice to meet you, Russia.

[za_rodina]

Perhaps they are more wiling to throw themselves in danger. Or the other houses just didn't care for the idea of the sport.

[He smiles, briefly.]

You mentioned coming up with another name, did you have something in mind?

[zeros_requiem]

Gryffindors are supposedly known for having more guts than brains, so its possible.

[He smiles a bit, then shakes his head.]

I really didn't have anything in mind. I just think 'Team One' sounds too military boring.

[gurenpiloting]

Even in quidditch, we'll be rivals.

[zeros_requiem]

[He's in such a good mood that even you can't spoil it right now.]

Maybe in your mind, but I really wouldn't call us that.

[gurenpiloting]

You wouldn't?

[zeros_requiem]

Nope. I don't see how we would be. At least not in quidditch.

...or in anything else, really, now that I think about it.

[bluecurtains]

[Minato's perched in one of the common room chairs, drawing and people-watching again. But he overhears Suzaku's announcement and introduction and consequently looks over. Even if it doesn't really matter who wins, knowing the competition is still useful, after all.]

Congratulations. It definitely seems like it will be fun.

[zeros_requiem]

[Suzaku looks over, and gives a friendly smile towards Mindato.]

Thanks!

Weren't you at tryouts too?

[bluecurtains]

[ Minato nods. ]

Mm, though I'm on a different team, now. Team 3.

[And then a pause as he realizes it's kind of odd not to introduce yourself.]

... my name is Minato Arisato. Pleased to meet you.

[zeros_requiem]

Nice to meet you! And congratulations on making that team.

Have you met your new teammates yet?

[reloved]

[ Cute guy alert! ... No, okay, Minako, put yourself over that first and focus on the message.. ]

I got on one of the teams too! Ah, too bad it's another team, though.. [ being on a team with cute guys doesn't sound bad to her at all. ] Let's all do our best, I guess! But don't think I'm going to lose! [ a giggle. ]

[zeros_requiem]

[Hey, its all fun and games to Suzaku, so he just smiles back.]

Then I guess I should look out for you, then, huh? Which team did you end up on?

[reloved]

Team Two! I'll be one of the Chasers, so make sure to remember my face! Ah, and name too.. it's Minako, Minako Aino!

[zeros_requiem]

Don't worry, I will. You seem like the kind of girl who'd be rather hard to forget.
