[The scruffy, middle-aged man that appears on the screen looks a bit uncomfortable. Videochat is certainly not his preferred mode of communication on these devices, but he does figure it would be helpful to see his face for what he's posting on the network to say, so.]
Uh...hey. I'm Qrow. If you don't know me from Deerington, I'm a Huntsman. Which--mostly means I've fought a lot of monsters and sh--[hm. children.]...crap like that.
So anyway, it's halfway through October, and the streets aren't overflowing with blood and corpses, and far as I know nobody's gotten eaten by monsters or lost their mind and gone on a murdering rampage. But that probably just means the town's waiting for us to let our guard down.
[Or maybe that's just paranoia. But Qrow would rather err on the side of paranoia rather than complacence, considering his last October.]
Point is, now seems like as good a time as any to learn to defend yourself if you don't already know how to fight. I uh, I used to teach teenagers in a combat school, a few years ago? So I've got some experience.
...Don't expect a lot, I quit for a reason--[that reason being, honestly, Ruby getting admitted to Beacon a full two years early, but shhh]--but you can get the basics down.
So yeah. Let me know.

Heh. If I did that, dunno if anyone'd come back.
[Maybe if he gets any particularly annoying students.
He may or may not have done that once or twice in Signal when cocky brats got it in their head he was just an easily pushed around drunk. Shhh.]no subject
Oh, right! Well that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it?
Still- Don't just let 'em off easy! Teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget!
You know, like you did with me?
[Because look Qrow is pretty much responsible for early jump in progress as a fighter.]

[Though, he can't go Remnant-hard with any of these students bc they're squishies without Aura. A tragedy tbh.]
But none of 'em are gonna be as good as you were. [He snorts.] I swear, you'd have been ready to pick up a scythe by the time you could walk, if Tai let you.
