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.]

[Alright. That earns them a confused cock of the head, he squints at Shinra, glancing momentarily at Gamzee before returning his look to Shinra.]

I didn't think you knew how to swim, Mr.Kishitani. There's a great deal of evidence, actually. It minimizes drag and increases speed.

[The taller boy looks pretty baffled himself, though his hands automatically go to the Ravenclaw's shoulders in an unconscious gesture of support. He's not really sure why Shinra really hates how Murdoc teaches, but there must be a reason, right?]

[Well now Shinra's confused too. He stands there for a moment, peering up at Murdoc for a moment before speaking.]

I don't, but I do have a decent understanding of anatomy. And a basic understanding of physics.

[He pauses, having planned to stop there. But then Gamzee's hands are on his shoulders and he can't help but feel oddly emboldened by the gesture.]

So I'm not sure exactly how becoming more 'straight' would reduce drag.

[wwistful]

I can't describe the physics behind it, but if you keep your back straight and your arms and legs in time you're far more likely to travel at a faster pace.

Honestly, it's logical. Why are you so up in arms about this?

[mo_cara]

I did go more faster after he was all touching me. [Gamzee adds helpfully.]
