retrospec

[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.

What do you think of this swimsuit? Do you like laser cats? Would you wear this? This is of critical importance for me to know. Thank you for your time.

I saw some posts regarding some strange packages from Retrospec, but I don't know if this counts as one. I only found this at the park bench when I done my daily strolling. To be honest, the colors on this stone are very unnatural.

[When you wake up on this fine morning and check your Retrospec feed, you'll find... Russian spam? It begins - ]

Доброе утро. Меня зовут Аня. [ - and it continues on from there, resulting in a full paragraph.

For anyone who can read Cyrillic, they'll find the following message: Good morning. My name is Anya. Is anyone able to understand this? I recognize it as Cyrillic, as Russian, however I don't recall ever being able to speak this language. I woke up and suddenly it's all I knew. If the people on here remember horses, maybe they remember me speaking differently? Properly? Maybe? Please let me know.

In an entirely separate text, she tries again. In two more languages.]

おはようございます。私の名前はAnyaです。わかりますか？これは日本語です。でも昨日でAnyaは日本語を話しません。

[ - and that also goes on. An English message, with the same approximate fluency level as the Japanese, to explain the whole situation is finally provided at the end. Third try's the charm?]

good morning. my name is anya. i am sorry to try again but i am confused. today i know how to speak russian and japanese. the russian is easy but the japanese is harder. english is also harder now. even though yesterday i only spoke english?

??? why?

if the people here remember horses do they remember the anya that did not know russian? please help. please. thank you.

( + action options! )

[ ooc: anya's regain was her canon language tick! an example can be found here! complete with sprinkles of Russian and accent. an additional note is that if you hover over the different alphabets, the exact translation should come up! AND FINALLY, Anya's hair used to be the lightest shade of the blonde in the world - and now it's gone full silver, but that's the least of her problems.]
