[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.

Who- Who wrote the rest?

[Yep, still giggling on this end, his rather androgynous voice sounding a little bit out of breath, like maybe he has asthma or something.]

It's hilarious. [He means it as a compliment but... yeah.]

[Stiiiill kind of giggling sporadically, but he looks like he might be attempting to control himself a bit for this poor guy's sake.]

Well... you know, humor can inspire too! I mean, if they think you all seem like funny and nice people to spend time with, I'm sure a lot of people will want to join your team. [An attempt at damage control was made.]

People do sports just as much for the team spirit as for the sport itself. I always-

[He halts himself, looking like that was some TERRIBLE SLIP UP, as though admitting you've been doing sports at some time in life is like telling a Deep Dark Secret or something.]

And clearly you like your team a lot since you went along with the script. [Nice save?]

[FUCK HIM.]

Ah, I- [A peal of somewhat forced laughter.] A lot of teams. I did several different kinds of martial arts for a while.

[And? Jesus, child, calm down.]

[For a moment he considers just not replying and ending all communication there, but it could get awkward if he meets this guy around campus. And so he lets out a slightly resigned sigh.]

I could send you links to a couple of good clubs. I did some Muay Thai for a while, though it was never my main discipline.
