Good afternoon, Sleepers.

[ It's been a while since Ozpin was on the network! He stands now before the continuing construction site that is the Clockhouse, now in its final stretch of becoming livable. From behind him comes a crash and an I've got it! that sounds like it could be Ruby Rose. Ozpin winces through his smile but does not turn around.]

First, I would like to extend my welcome to those new to Trench... and my sincere thanks to those who have lent their assistance in repairing our home after its [ the smile goes strained again ] unfortunate destruction. It has been some time since I aided a project of this magnitude.

Which brings me to a proposition. As many of you know, my name is Professor Ozpin [ look at that, he's back to tacking 'Professor' on ] and I was headmaster of a renowned combat academy back upon the world of Remnant. I provide combat lessons to Sleepers when I'm able, and I led a team of talented young students in the [ All-Trench Karate Tournament ] combat tournament of this May.

As of September, I have been away from my original world for two full years. In celebration, I suppose... and from a deep and abiding respect for the strength and spirit I have seen among our number, here in Trench... I would like to propose a more formal institution in which Sleepers can teach and learn the skills of battle.

I would like to establish a combat academy in Prufrock, the Hunter's district. I believe I have found a space that will be suitable, and which may be of use even to Hunters with less of an... academic inclination. A gathering space and stronghold for adventurers in times of crisis. Those among us who still recall the dreamed town of Deerington might [ his smile tightens ] liken it to FEAR, albeit with a far more academic bent.

[ james ironwood get fucked it took him eighteen months but he stole your idea ]

To make this concept a reality, I will need help. I must call upon those with an interest and ability in exploration and the vanquishing of Beasts to help clear the space of its deadly hazards. If you are willing to undertake a dangerous task-- to risk your life, mind, and soul-- then I, and perhaps all of Trench, will thank you.

I will provide instructions and coordinates to those who inquire within. Perhaps together, we can continue to build something of value to this new world.

[[ This is the network post recruiting for the Academy Exploration player plot! You can tag here or handwave a conversation with Ozpin to participate in the expedition. ]]

Seems like rebuilding is a theme lately. [Ozpin might recognize Keith from the Clocktower Challenge back in the beginning of the year, and would more definitely recognize him from helping out with rebuilding things around the construction site when he wasn't suffering from coldblood effects thanks to the weather.]

Still... rebuilding in general around here is a good idea.

I presume you will be offering adequate first aid for your students as they undertake such difficult coursework?

Please ignore the previous crashing sound.

Everything is completely under control.

I said everything is completely under control!

Go back to talking about Ozpin's new school thing.

I went to one of them on my world for a semester and a bit and look how I turned out!

It'll be great.

Is this meant to be a group effort, or will be working in twos again like the challenge earlier this year?

I was in a similar academy back home.

I'd very much like to attend and help out.

I think just being here risks your mind and life. [ Akira does not seem wry about this. He is not being sarcastic. He is -- from the hand on his chin -- being genuinely thoughtful about the entire subject.

Teenagers, man. ]


I'll help if you still need it. I'm [ a pause as he clearly has to think about phrasing for a long moment ] an okay fighter in the real world if you give me a gun.

[ "The real world" is a notable specification here. ]

[ Structured, huh? Akechi takes that to mean that this particular expedition is likely to be a bit of a clusterfuck. ]

Showing up with our own team won't interfere with anyone's plans, will it?

Yeah, exactly. It's an adventure, and most adventurers want to get paid. Especially if it's dangerous. We are professionals, you know.

"Vanquishing" doesn't seem like the right word to use when most are still human.

[ He says it softly but sternly. With a thoughtful but very schooled expression. ]

Do you mean to kill those Beasts, or try to save them?
