The Fast and Furious: The Swimming Edition (voice: jcarter_news)

(The voice starts off with a very nervous tone from Jamie’s voice as he begins the conversation from the mens locker room at the swimming pool area in Kaisou University. He hasn’t gotten into the showers just yet for he has been shaken by what happened with him in the pool.

He has no idea how it did happened but he soon notices the minute he dives into the water, his already great swimming ability has gotten slightly faster than usual and it had to happen weeks into a major swim meet his team is going to compete in.)


Um, hey guys, I just noticed something pretty weird has happened to me right now. Don’t know how it happened so fast, but I just discovered that my swimming has gotten a bit faster than most of my teammates, twice as fast as they do. I don’t recall swimming this absurdly fast before besides pushing myself too far on a couple of times but now I absolutely do.

Oh gee, and it had to happen just weeks before a major swim meet we’re going to participate in. I don’t know how to explain this to anybody, including the Coach, without sounding like I’m making stuff. Please send in any help for a very confused swimmer like me.

Tell them you're sick and skip it. Hate to say it, but there's no way you'll get that under control that fast.

[There was a reason Danny avoided extracurricular sports.]

You're in college, right? Not like anyone's going to be coming over to take your temperature.

Eh, people do that. For whatever reason normal people just don't see any weirdness from the spirit realm. They just make up something that looks more normal. My parents still haven't noticed that I spent all of last summer randomly turning invisible and falling through solid objects.

[personal profile] schrodingersghost 2023-02-02 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. Or any of the other weirdness from the past year. [Did Danny sometimes wish that his parents paid a little more attention? Yes. But he couldn't deny that it was very convenient for avoiding questions.]

Yeah, they probably think they're seeing something else. I've even gone flying in front of people before, and they just talk like they're seeing some kind of rare large bird.

Try it and see. The only time anyone from the city has seen anything close to what really happens was last October when the veil got weird.

Play sick. Something that you shouldn't be in the water for... food poisoning maybe?

I think it might be the best way... It won't work more than once or twice, but it's a short break so we can figure out why this is happening.

Do you have any ideas?

[personal profile] femmecatale 2023-02-05 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh.

Could this place be turning stress into something that makes you swim faster? Seems strange to me...
femmecatale: (19)

[personal profile] femmecatale 2023-02-20 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Stress does strange things to the body anyway.

Did you make sure you didn't put engines on your ankles first? ;)

[ Oof, if that doesn't hit close to home. Even if the reason she's had to quit the swim team was for a different reason. ]

You could just say that something came up on the day of the meet. Like a family emergency or something.

I had something similar happen to me, though not quite like that. But it was bad enough that I ended up having to quit the swim team.

[personal profile] findingways 2023-02-12 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. After a while it didn't feel right competing, you know? It felt like I was cheating, and that wasn't fair to everyone else. But it was hard to explain why I was leaving suddenly no one could really see the problem.

I hope it works out for you, though.

[personal profile] findingways 2023-02-15 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I hope you're able to find something that works so you won't have to quit.

Yeah changes like that aren't typically noticed by people who don't have some kind of connection to the Spirit World. That's why it can be hard to talk about.

Oh, what's the matter?

[His tone is unmistakably taunting. After their last conversation, Moxxie has decided tormenting this guy would be hilarious.]

I thought if you had the skill, it doesn't matter what you turn into, you can do whatever you want as long as you believe in yourself, right?

[Moxxie lets out an irritated sigh, realizing this guy wasn't picking up on what he meant, although Moxxie's missed sarcasm enough times himself that he really doesn't have any room to talk.]

Yeah, that was my point. That was supposed to be sarcasm. Personally, I just think it's hilarious that after your 'turning into an imp that people think is a possum is no excuse, you can have any job you want if you've got talent' thing, now the weird spirit vein stuff is making you give up things you care about.

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-02-06 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, there's worse things, but you're not going to get caught 'doing water magic'. They'll come up with whatever explanation makes sense to them. Like drugs. You'd be kicked off the team...although, maybe that's for the best. It's not like there's a point to competing when you already know you can't lose, right?
not_a_possum: (Explaining)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-02-06 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. Now that you have the app weird stuff will just keep popping up until it completely ruins your life. That's just how it is.
not_a_possum: (Smug)

[personal profile] not_a_possum 2023-02-08 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. Guess you're just stuck waiting for the other shoe to drop.
