( The prize you've paid )

[ ozpin has collected all the information he needs to feel relatively comfortable finally introducing himself. he knows there are enemies here, and he knows there could be more enemies to come. he knows the majority of his students have experienced quite a lot of trauma in recent weeks, and he knows that he seems to be the only actual adult here to deal with any of it.

worst of all, most of this is his fault, and ozpin seems to be delightfully absent for most of it.

so, after dwelling on that for a moment, the feed turns on to show ozpin in a chair, in a corner of a bookstore that seems to be mostly empty. his cane is leaning against the table and while he still looks somewhat tired and worn down, his eyes are bright and he has a warm smile in place. ozpin has always been horrendous at playing the game, especially when such things are at stake. perhaps peace has made him lazy -- or perhaps he just genuinely believes that everything will be overcome.

at any rate, his students (and the others here) need him to be the leader that he proclaimed to be before everything went to utter hell, and so when he speaks, ozpin sounds like a conversationalist, calm and at the ready. ]

Hello.

[ it's almost like today is a normal day, with yet another inspirational monologue from professor ozpin. ]

It seems that quite the collective of my students have taken root in this city, and transformed it into their own. [ weiss. ] I wish I could say that I could bring half of what they have to this place, but I'd rather not disappoint you all.

[ probably too late for that. ]

But as for introductions -- my name is Ozpin. I am the Headmaster of Beacon Academy, for those from Remnant who may not recognize me. [ which should be no one, but you can never be too sure. ] I've already spoken with several of my students, and it seems that our world has become rather popular in terms of new arrivals... but to the students I haven't yet had the opportunity to see, and the students that I don't have the pleasure of calling my own... I would very much like to speak with you. Privately.

[ the slightest hint of his teacher voice, but it's gone in an instant, and ozpin returns to his faint smile. he's not going to waste time concerning himself with roman torchwick or emerald or anyone else who happens to show up. they will come find him if they wish to speak more. ]

As for the rest of you, if you would indulge me with suggestions on where to locate a decent cup of coffee, I would be forever in your debt. In addition, I would also like to hear some of the positives of this place -- what do you like to do? What are your hobbies? Your work? You would be surprised how effective positivity can be in curing most problems.

{ ozpin inclines his head toward his cane (and the untouched cup), with a slightly knowing look. ]

I've had something of a rough week.

[ The feed begins with a very familiar voice, that of one Weiss Schnee - or at least, the recording that plays for everyone at the exit of the Bay.

"Hello, my name is Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee Dust Company from the world of Remnant and present CEO and founder of the Schnee Company Welcoming and--"

There's the sound of someone blowing a raspberry directly into the receiver, drowning out Weiss's voice.

The feed cuts to silence.

When the feed resumes there's still not much to identify who's behind it - just the sound of footsteps and whistling, an almost chipper tune that goes on for nearly a full minute, only briefly interrupted by a few electronic beeps and the sound of a vending machine dispensing something. The whistling continues for a while, accompanied still by footsteps and the distinct sound of a can of soda being cracked open. At last the whistling stops, there's a gulp... ]

Blegh.

[ A voice - just a snippet, but for some it might be enough to trigger certain memories of some awful happenings some time ago.

The sound of a soda can - still mostly full - being tossed to the ground, footsteps resuming. ]

All this time, and there still isn't a decent brand of cola? Someone has to get on that.

[ The voice, for those who recognize it, belongs to one Mercury Black. ]

So - how is everyone doing? I mean other than the great almighty Schnee, of course. Clearly she's having a blast with her power trip, but that's not really any surprise. Did I miss anything fun?

[Waking up at the Bay and then finding a hologram with Weiss on it sure weren't the things Lie expected to happen in the near future of his life. Especially when he was alone. If he hadn't gotten all that information, he really would have been confused but right now he is rather calm about this. Thank you, Weiss.

Though since he apparently isn't alone in this place, he should contact the person he knows is here. Well, unfortunately he can't make this call private now, but maybe it would be heard regardless?]

Hello? Weiss Schnee? It's me, Lie Ren. I was wondering if I could meet with you? I apologize for contacting like this. I do not know your number here.

[Well, since this is a public broadcast, he might as well reach out for others as well.]

Of course, I wouldn't mind speaking with others who might know me. I apologize, I do not know who all are here.

[Lie can be found from near the Bay, waiting for a contact to his message, but at the same time, observing his surroundings.]
