Welcome, to all arrivals, new and old. My name is Ozpin.
It seems our arrival has fallen on October's doorstep. It was, to put it lightly, a dangerous month in Deerington. Even here in Trench, I would be unsurprised to find that we are entering a season of bloodshed and Beasts.
It would be wise to prepare. Even should that degree of danger fail to arrive, many of us have been newly burdened by powers we have not yet learned to control.
In the world of Remnant - I do not think it right to call it 'home,' in light of our situation - I served as headmaster of a combat academy. I guided young people in learning to harness their powers and hone their abilities, even in the most dire of circumstances.
If you are interested in such training, I am now accepting students for private instruction. It seems our currencies won't be of much use here, so allow me to propose an alternate price: stories. I have always been a scholar of folklore and fairy tales, and I would like to hear what your own worlds have to offer.
[ Ozpin hesitates a long, long beat. Then: ]
I shall even trade you one in return. My favorite, as of late, is about an old hermit and the visitors who changed his life. For those who have heard some of my more recent tales, you may be pleased to know that this one has a happy ending.

I suppose there's nothing to do but wait and see. If nothing else, we might consider ourselves uniquely prepared to face that threat, as Sleepers and as Huntsmen.

We might want to be careful either way though. It didn't really help us from destroying ourselves last time around.
Not to be a negative nancy about it but I hope you're right that it gives us an edge.

It seems 'corruption' is a known danger we now face, just as it was in Deerington. That is what truly did us the most harm, and so it may need to be our highest priority again.

Especially when all the monsters here bleed unlike back at home.
Any idea on reliable ways to protect against that? I mean we're going to end up bleeding or getting bled on at some point.
