[ 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.

[This cheerful man wearing a lab coat on top of a pair of small shorts and an oversized tunic doesn't exactly look like the picture of professionalism just yet, but it's warm outside and so he'll be teaching some of his classes out in the sunshine anyway. He's perched in a window right now, waving and looking like he's laughing at some joke he hasn't yet decided to share with anyone.]

So~o, I figured a bit of an introduction might be in order. My name is Fai Flourite, and I'll be teaching chemistry, biology and mutation science here from now on.

Since I have an identical twin running around the school, it'll probably be good for you to know that I'll be the one wearing a lab coat most of the time, and my hair's a bit shorter. I also did this... [He tilts his head forward and points to a couple of blue and pink streaks among the messy blond strands.] ...to make it a bit easier to tell us apart. Well, and because it looked nice. Mostly because it looked nice, actually.

[He giggles and shrugs his bony shoulders a bit, dangling his bare feet below the window.]

Oh, and I don't like doors much, so don't worry if I come in through the window, okay? I'm a professional X-man with a specialty for subterfuge, after all, so wall-scaling is nothing new to me.

[He tosses his head, and for a moment a number of different people are visible instead of him: A couple of presidents, Julia Roberts, Professor Xavier, Peewee Herman, the Queen of England. And then he's just Fai again, looking exactly like the smug shit he is.]

Though when I do things like that, they call me Glamour.

Oh! And there was one more thing~. Feliks called me out for the Ice Bucket Challenge. So apparently he wants to see me drenched in cold water and miserable. What a terrible friend he is, right? [Considering the way Fai is grinning fondly, he doesn't think so.] But I'll give him what he wants, because I always do. [Well, that sure sounds... romantic?]

Expand~Cut for Italian profanity and Fai being a huge shit~ )
