[And now it's time for the actual best part of the day... swim practice! You're on a team with Lovelace (the captain, who swims freestyle), Sinclair (breaststroke), Arthur (butterfly), and Gregor (backstroke). I need to clarify I know absolutely nothing about competitive swimming. I've never even watched Free.
You can just roll to see how well you do in this practice, but for the record, Gregor will think... as they prepare for their upcoming nationals, he hopes senpai (Dante) is watching him. 🥺]
[i rolled a fucking one tell me how disappointed senpai is in me now. senpai is not answering my calls. senpai doesn't want to be seen with me in public.]
[Senpai would be so disappointed in you, Gregor... Thankfully, Senpai is getting an education and does not see Gregor promptly start to drown in a school pool.]
[Lovelace gets distracted with Arthur's mediocre swimming, so Sinclair takes pity on Gregor, seeing that he is maybe actually drowning, and rescues him. There, there...]
Are you okay, Gregor? Don't worry, you were doing... [..................] ... okay.
[...where he apparently absolutely shreds it this time because i went from a 1 to a 20 holy fuck. he's working out his teen problems through swimming. enrichment is SO important.]
[Wow!! Sinclair looks appropriately awed, and Lovelace looks over from where she's watching Arthur be mediocre to also look happy for Gregor, who is NAILING IT.
Once he's done, having truly reached his peak of the day, he can watch Arthur for a bit before they're ready to wrap up and go home.]
[hell yeah he's having a Great time. they're so going to win nationals this year. senpai WILL notice him, he's sure of it.
he gets out of the pool to go watch arthur, doing... his best to cheer him on probably... well, but he had a big day, his head's probably just somewhere else. he's thinking about that date, most likely.]
[Unfortunately, with Gregor's measly roll of 3, his cheer does not manage to miraculously boost Arthur's skill level. On the bright side, while Gregor can't get a date, he can at least rest assured that he's great at swimming.
[Lovelace sighs, but accepts this outcome. Everyone has their days, after all. She gets it. Gregor tries to boost Arthur's swimming somehow by cheering, but it apparently does not work. Very sad.

[Sinclair will hover around Gregor to make sure he's okay until he's ready to go back into the water, nemesis to his teen angst.]

[Lovelace is an extremely encouraging captain, as you can see. At least Arthur is doing better than Gregor, who currently can't even swim.]

Your brainpower didn't amount to much, from the looks of things. Well, this is what practice is for, so keep doing it.
[Roll one more time to see if Arthur has any true success before swim practice ends...]

Sorry, coach...
