OMG
I'm student of the month?! *gasp* I'm legit super happy!! Even the demons in my closet are happy, and they practically feed on despair.
Anyways, I left the underworld and I'm back at Psyhigh! Good to be back, though here's hoping it will be better once I catch the cricket in my room. Those guys sure are good to holding up around such strong energy. They also are still quite loud... I may not get sleep tonight. I'll need energy to for the portal ball game tomorrow night.

A review of what portal ball is
---------
Portal Ball

team of 12

positions:
portal caster 1 - casts entry portals
portal caster 2 - casts exit portals
kickers (4 people) - kicks ball to score
blockers (2 people) - blocks opponents portals and telepathic messages
sender - sends telepathic messages from chief to casters
chief - directs portal placement
guard - guards the goal
tagger - can 'tag' portals, making them invisible to the opposing team for 3 seconds

score: 2 points
game ends after 10 minutes
notes: blockers block portals with energy, but cannot detect invisible portals
ball can go through portals however placement is tricky since it relies on the accuracy of the chief and sender to judge the flow of the game and where the ball will be. The kickers can kick it into the portals. If set up right, this can be an easy goal.
----------
It's a simple practice match but my team still holds the lead, 8-14. So gym 87, 4:00 pm tomorrow night. Team Dragon vs Team Demon. seats limited, first come first served. Betting on teams is allowed however advised against. Please, no salted salamander legs or fried dimensional cakes, several players have allergies.

Well, forget the cricket. I'm going to set up a mattress in the courtyard shed, where I can be alone...

Portal Ball season has started! The first game has been played and gosh, it was intense!
Obviously, the game last night went amazing. A tie game has never been so thrilling! Here's how it went.
Team Dragon started off strong, and they had a good connection of minds. They scored the first goal with a bit of sneaky portal placement and some good taggers.
Team Demon (my team) fell behind in the first minutes, but we soon took the lead due to our taggers skill and tag-and-run strategy. We were about to 'confuse the enemy', but I was distracted and the mental instructions didn't go fast enough. As a result our own portal casters got confused and Team Dragon pulled ahead.
With Team Demon pulling it together in the nick of time, we scored a goal to tie the game 12-12.
Thanks to all of those who put in hours of practice and time! Next practice is tomorrow morning, gym 87 as usual. Meet me there!

I play in the all trombone pep band and I want to know when we'll play Portal Ball against other schools @Miranda Ashdove I think our teams are good enough to make a varsity team. @Joli Murphy thinks so too!!!

Hey so what is up with Portal Ball, @Miranda Ashdove? Are you just playing psyhigh teams vs psyhigh teams, or have you started a league with other schools? Sorry I never came to practice but I really feel I'd be an asset on the squad!
