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'm sure we will sooner rather than later. This city may be larger than Deerington but it is still just that: a city.

[Much to Maul's detriment. He can't even escape to another planet if things get too hot for him here, so it means he's got to be on his best behavior for as long as possible. Of course, the curse he's under is also keeping him under control. Once that's gone, who knows how he'll react?]

So you intend to stay for as long as possible then?

[Maul plans to as well but that has more to do with there being nothing left for him in his galaxy back home. All the opportunities he will ever have to better himself are here in Trench.]

I no longer have a future in my own galaxy. Everything I ever feared has come true so I have no desire to ever go back. To ever look forward and see something there means staying here. I am fine with that.

Doubtful. This place is still run by Pthumerians, which means they'll see us as little ants to crush beneath their boots.
