[TAKES A DEEP BREATH] [steps up to podium gracefully in super tight, frilly dress, bird still perched on one hand] [clears her throat, smiles, and tries to adopt a 'regal' steady tone, not too quiet, but not too loud, much more refined than how her normal speech sounds]
Unity is important to a team.
When allowed to run free, divisions within a team can be painful, painful as the prick of a rose's thorn.
[trying not to let her nervousness show, but her eyes shift a little from side to side] [takes another breath and continues] Instead of being as happy as a hippo... [PAUSE]
...a hippo in the mud, divided teams must frequently devote long, and difficult, hours to coming to terms with their differences.
The bad feelings and such from those teams who can't come to some compromise could even attract the attention of a... [PAUSE AGAIN, oh god don't panic] malicious poltergeist. [nods, still holding her smile and regal tone... despite the nonsense of the final line]
Unity is not simply poppycock used in someone's idolalia, but vital to the life and success of a team.
Thank you.
