SWIMMINGGEDDON.

[wwistful]

WHO: Murdoc Donoghue and YOU
TONE: Fun, WHIMSICAL, horrifying
RATING: PG-13 and onward
WHEN: September 7th
WHERE:  The Lake.
WHAT:  After this Murdoc realised the children (and staff) of Hogwarts were in dire need of swimming lessons.
STATUS: Ongoing

[GATHER AROUND CHILDREN it's a warm summer day and the lake is perfect for diving into your sudden but inevitable deaths. You should all be dressed in your swimming trunks (which you clearly have don't even lie) because Murdoc sure is. He's determined to conduct this in the best manner he can, though he wasn't quite expecting the turn out to be so large. People who can swim are welcome to become his assistants because he could probably use the help.]

[Judging you from in the lake.]

Are you here for a lesson or are you distracted by your reflection?

[selfhatred]

[Don't judge hiiiiiiim. Karkat fidgets a little with his swim trunks, not looking at all like the short, cranky kid he usually is, before he sighs.]

I guess I'm here for a lesson.

[wwistful]

You may want to get into the water then.

[selfhatred]

It's a...little harder than that, sir.

[wwistful]

Only if you let it be. C'mon, I'm not about to let you down.

[selfhatred]

You'll forgive me if I don't come running into your arms, Professor. Falling into the lake during the crossing in first year does that to you.

[wwistful]

Everyone falls, Vantas. If it bothered you so, you should take the opportunity to save yourself from the next fall.

[selfhatred]

Probably not as spectacularly as I did. [He grumbles this under his breath before coughing.] Well...I guess dad obviously knew what he was doing when he signed me up. I probably haven't got much of a choice now that I'm here anyway.
