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.

Ruby and I are of the same world, you see. She was one of my students.
Weapons of that sort are entirely commonplace in our line of work, and for good reason: they can be immensely effective with the proper training. Of course, they can also be terribly dangerous.

she's nice.
i mean, she made me a whole gunsword.
that's pretty nice.
right. recoil sucks when you can also stab yourself.
i haven't stabbed myself yet, but it's definitely a possibility.

This world seems to place little stock in our prior monetary systems. Perhaps you could share with me a story you once learned, and regard that as payment for a lesson. I'm something of a collector of fairy tales.
