[The feed opens with the familiar desk and ambiguous location that Ozpin has broadcast from many times, and even though his voice sounds a bit tired, his face seems as stiff and neutral as ever.]

Given the chaos that has engulfed the city, I would like to take stock of a few things. Firstly being any injuries suffered by those of us with the necklaces. I know it is rather... cold to say, but I believe that we should be prioritized with the medical care if only to help facilitate the passage of others through the gates.

Secondly, I would like to take stock of the current situation with medical supplies within the affected area. With everything that has been going on, gathering these kinds of figures has been... difficult at best.

Lastly, I would like to take a moment to address any would-be vengeance seekers. I strongly advise against taking any kind of action at this moment. I understand that tensions and emotions are running high, and you've every right to feel this way. However, if what people are saying is true, and this was caused by one person, it would mean that they possess powers beyond just about anything any of us have ever come up against, and will likely need to be confronted with a unified front. At this point in time, a unified front simply isn't possible. Too many are injured, or missing and our priority should be tending to our wounded. However, that is not to say we should simply forget this transgression. Justice is a very... unique concept, and being just that - a concept - it can be called upon when most opportune.

The wheels may be turning slowly, but I assure you, they are turning.

I've tended to the people I could find with my healing magic, but if you know of anyone else who needs help then you can call on me. I'm afraid I don't have much medical experience aside from some survival skills and herbal medicine.

[And loathe as he was to let Lucifer be out there still free, he knew Ozpin was right. When Ryu addresses Ozpin, it looks like he's in the process of preparing a few bandages coated with something he's been mixing.]

And what about you? How are you holding up? After all, you can't help others if you neglect your own well being.

There's no need to worry about me. I've still got plenty of magic to spare before I even start to feel tired.

[He sets the bandages down, it looks like he's been preparing a few medical supplies before he even heard Ozpin's call for it.]

I'm used to this kind of work.

Good. Keep at it, but don't push yourself unduly.

I appreciate the concern, but I should be okay. I'm Ryu, by the way. I don't think I caught your name before.

Very well. I will trust in your judgement. Ah, forgive me. I am Professor Ozpin, headmaster of the Beacon Huntsman Academy in Vale, in my world.

A few of my students are currently in the field helping the search and rescue efforts. If you require aid, simply alert me and I will put you in touch with one of them.

You're Professor Ozpin? I'm not sure what I was expecting when Weiss mentioned you were teaching people how to fight monsters.

[Now you have his full attention.]

I've never really gone to school myself, so I was a little curious what Beacon was like. Especially since monster hunting isn't what most people would usually consider a normal subject of study.
