File #004 video
[Walter turns on the video for the journal, sets it up and then moves back, sitting down on a chair in front of it. He's wear a lab coat over his usual checkered shirt and sweater cardigan combo and looks quite gleeful, gesturing toward the camera with a welcoming motion.]
Fellow denizens of Luceti! My name is Walter Bishop and I come to you with a unique request.
I would like to take a tissue and wing sample from every person in the compound - a simple test, really, very quick, not at all painful [Says the man who can tolerate electroshock therapy with a smile] - in order to help the scientists of our great community better understand the makeup of this universe.
Should you and several of your companions be from the same world, it would be most helpful if one or all could donate, although one should suffice if anyone is a tad squeamish.
I will be taking the samples this afternoon in the plaza.
Oh! And hot cocoa will be provided for compensation of course. I'm no madman.
This afternoon, starting at 1pm. Any and all volunteers are welcome! Those who don't wish to volunteer, don't worry - I'm sure I can find you somehow, yes?
[Action: Plaza, 1PM]
[As promised, Walter is bundled up in warmer clothes at the plaza with a little table of lab equipment and a rather large cooler that holds several Thermoses of hot cocoa. There are even little marshmallows for people who want them.]

As long as it does not incapacitate me, which I doubt it will, it should be fine. I have an important event to attend in a few days, so I have to be cautious.

It won't be more than a minor inconvenience depending on how quickly your skin heals. I just need to scrape a few cells from your upper epidermis and draw a bit of blood. Both should heal with a day, two at the most.

Very well. I will be there.

[Wow, he actually agreed. Maybe Walter is getting better at people than he thought?]
T-thank you. I'll be waiting there with a table. I'll be sure to make it very obvious!
no subject
I do this because any attempt is better than no attempt.
[And his earlier threat still remains.]

...
Quite possibly.

[Not even the usual 'thank you' for the advice on that one.]
