video, locked to faculty;
[ The feed opens to show a young man seated in the pavilion in the garden, sunlight illuminating part of his golden brown hair. His expression has been kept quite neutral, though those better at reading body language would be able to deduce that he is quite serious. ]
Good afternoon, fellow colleagues. [ His voice is even, with a faint Japanese accent. ] In view of the recent chain of... ALS awareness challenges going around, I have a request to make of you all.
[ He gestures vaguely with one hand. ] If anyone intends to attempt the challenge within our departments, I would like to accompany you. While I understand that this challenge is designed to raise awareness for a noteworthy cause, I would also like to conserve water as much as possible. It is a valuable resource, after all.
I am a hydrokinetic, and have been cleaning up after the few attempts that have already occurred. If I am with you while you attempt the challenge, I will be able to catch the water before it reaches the ground and becomes contaminated.
[ A pause. ]
And I wil be able to dry you in less than a minute's time. If you wish me to, of course.
[ He gives the camera a formal nod. ] Please contact me if you have any queries, or are attempting it. Thank you for your understanding.

Dear students,
If you are intending to attempt the ALS awareness challenge, please contact me before you do so. Water is a limited resource, and should be conserved whenever possible. I will be supervising you to ensure minimal wastage, and hopefully prevent infections such as the common cold.
If you have attempted the challenge and find yourselves down with the flu or something similar, please come see me as well. I am a practicing doctor and can treat you.
Thank you for your cooperation.
