[retrospec is treated today to a whole lot of skin. some RU students might recognise this exhibitionist as the much overworked first-year VP of RU's swimming team. others might recognise him simply as someone in need of a shirt]

Oi, RU students, listen up.

[luckily, this half-naked guy has some interesting accessories to keep him warm. they're doing a good job of it, if the colour on his deadpan face is anything to go by]

Dedication. Teamwork. Passion. Strength of character.

[as he's talking, he crosses his arms, and the floaties squeak!! around his biceps. a red eye twitches, ever-so-slightly]

These are just some of the qualities that we cultivate in the RU swimming team. If you want to be pushed to greater heights, if you have an athletic dream you want to pursue, or if you just have a love of the water, there's a team waiting for you. We work hard, and we get results. Slackers need not apply.

Seize the opportunity to be more, with us.

[the tube slips down his waist a little, squeak-a-squeak!!]

So.... [a yawning chasm of silence here] ....h-hop along and sign up at the bulletin board outside the RU natatorium, today.

i'm not
i was expecting something a little different
and i know you tried your best because you try your best at whatever you do
and i do hope you get people interested
but being so... deadpan doesn't really inspire
you know?

[gnasher]

i was trying to be direct! even with the stupid props and the idiot ending line the team wanted to use.

[gnasher]

i didn't join the club to promote it, i joined to swim.

[admiringly]

you could swim without being the vp
but you're the vp and you know what means
even without that you could've said no to the props

[gnasher]

and hear the captain say i'm not pulling my weight? no fucking way.

[the captain who probably spent more time considering what go-gurt to eat today rather than creating training regimes, booking the natatorium, organising competitions, or considering even the general concept of recruiting. what a life, to be a senior!]

[admiringly]

exactly!
so put all your heart into it like you do with everything else and people will meet you with equal heart!

[gnasher]

do you think you could give me some art direction, maybe...?

i don't want to let the team down.
