[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.

[ It doesn’t sound particularly fun to do, compared to thinking of amazing names for the finished product, but she did say she was going to do things she didn’t like to protect her beloved stupid people. Maybe it will be like arts and crafts.
The brain cells boil harder. What do you make a scythe out of, wood? Metal? Where do even you find a metal, aside from in like forks and such. That’s like a hundred forks. Wood is easy. ]
I can get a tree branch, a good one!

No, you don't make a practice weapon. I'll get you something to practice with. But once you've developed your skills a bit, you want to have a weapon that suits your specific strengths and weaknesses.
[A long beat.]
...And you definitely don't make weapons out of branches. Don't worry about it. Just think about what you want your personal scythe one to be like as we practice, and we'll sort out building it later on.

Think and practice, got it.
[ Her image pops out, now that she's got a goal in mind. She's gonna bug her sister, for sure. The other Alice is much more creative about weapons. ]
