[ It's been a day since Jaune's encounter with their former (???) Headmaster, and enough time has passed for cooler heads to prevail. To be honest, Jaune hasn't had a good night's sleep and every once in a while he'd be glancing at his hand that formed a fist, before looking away from it.
What Jaune did was wrong, and he should set that straight before he leaves town for a week. The problem is, he has no idea where the old man is staying... or if he's even okay? ]
[ honestly, he had been waiting for the response. jaune can be a bit reckless and foolish, but he is genuinely a good kid, and ozpin knew he would get around to calming down and contacting him eventually. and since that day, ozpin has found a place to stay, slept for approximately 16 hours, and feels recuperated. recharged, even.
he still has to sort through his head, the guilt and the pain of what had happened (to both him, his school, and his students), but for now, he feels relatively energized.
definitely more than capable of dodging another punch to the face, anyway.
but all of that goes to the wayside, and ozpin's voice sounds warm: ]
[ Salty Arc is still rude!!! But he definitely waits until Ozpin arrives at the place, in which he will immediately discover Jaune right outside the Welcome Centre, leaning against the building itself.
Jaune looks up at sees Ozpin, too, but... despite knowing what he wants to say to him, he still hesitates at first. Maybe it would be fair to let Ozpin speak first... ]
[ honestly, the most difficult part of being in verens, for him, thusfar, has been the telepathy. having someone suddenly appear inside your head is jarring, to say the least -- and while ozpin should probably be used to it, by now, it's still . . . well, it's going to take some getting used to.
but this voice is welcome, and so, ozpin's response comes soon after: ]
[ She's a bit shy about this, honestly. Bashful and (briefly) hesitant, she lets the tail of her single word hang in the telepathic airspace for a moment before following it up. ]
I was hoping that, if you don't mind, we could go over what - what my maiden training would have been.
[ there's a pause, and a feeling of surprise (faint, but there). and then: ]
You would have to go to combat against me.
[ i'm so ready to fuck up rwby canon with my headcanon bullshit ]
If you are willing to do so, I would be more than happy to show you what I have learned, and what I have taught previous Fall Maidens in my time as Headmaster.
[ Weiss, not wanting to disturb her former professor whom she still calls professor, contacts him some time during the morning where it's not too late and it's not too early. At about 10 am, his crystal will beep. And until he accepts this transmission, he won't hear Weiss' voice. ]
Good morning, Professor Ozpin.
[ That's it, though. That's the nicety Weiss provides. ]
[ ozpin answers fairly quickly. he isn't necessarily a morning person, but he also isn't one to sleep until noon -- and when he listens to the message, and weiss' voice comes through . . . ]
Tell me when and where, Miss Schnee, and I will be there as soon as I can.
I usually train in our backyard, but for something like this, the park may be better. It's an open area with trees and some large rocks for hiding. It's a good training ground.
[ That they will likely ruin on this day close to Valentine's day. ]
[ belatedly, ozpin is realizing that none of his students have actually seen him fight, and therefore really have no idea how much property damage he can cause on accident. also, glynda is not here to fix it.
he could be a responsible adult. or: ]
Wonderful selection. I can meet you there.
[ SCREW BEING A RESPONSIBLE ADULT this sounds like fun. ]
[ a few hours after ozpin's broadcast, penny has yet to make a reply of her own. she keeps going over all of the information, taking in its details. it's a lot more than ruby or anyone else had been able to communicate to her, but the more she ponders on it, the more the things that her father and general ironwood had told her make sense.
she feels like she has to talk to him one-on-one, with no holds barred. ]
Professor Ozpin... This is Penny. Could I talk to you?
voice; listen. penny can show up whenever she wants.
[ ozpin is still getting used to this whole . . . telepathy thing, and he still isn't sure he likes or approves of it. but it is what it is, he supposes, and he soon responds: ]
Miss Polendina. You can speak to me whenever you wish -- what can I do to help?
It was about that message you sent out - the one from earlier today.
[ she pauses - if she had the capacity to breathe, she'd probably be taking a deep one right now. ]
I very much appreciate all of the information that you explained. There were some things that I knew, but a lot of things that I didn't... And I just want you to know that you don't have to hide anything from me.
I know... [ another pause. ] I know what happens to me after the Vytal Festival.
[ there's a silence, for half a moment, as ozpin lets that hang in the air, before he speaks. ]
Pyrrha Nikos is one of my best students, and I would be a poor Headmaster if I was to skip out on any of my student's contests, but particularly hers. I watched the match from my office.
[ he pauses. ]
I am sorry, Penny. I did not mean to make you feel uncomfortable, or that I was avoiding a topic. I simply did not want to add more to all of your shoulders, when you all collectively have enough. But if you require anything of me -- whether it be answers, or someone to speak with -- I am here.
[Yang is about...80% sure Ozpin probably already knows what she's contacting him over. It's Ozpin after all. She honestly wouldn't be surprised if he has some weird Magic-y intuition that just lets him know when Qrow is around. ...Or he could have just seen the Wall of Names before she did. It's not like she makes a habit out of going there.
However, considering the nature of Qrow and Ozpin's relationship, she feels...well, it just feels "right" to make sure Ozpin's aware of the situation. Amulet telepathy is not her favorite mode of communication but sending him a messenger bird would have been tacky and it saves her the discomfort of having this conversation in person.]
It's nothing I need I just... [A brief hesitation.] I stopped by the Wall today. The one with all the names of people who've left? [As opposed to that other wall with names on it?? Just get it over with already.]
Qrow's gone. ...I figured I should make sure you knew.
I did notice, but thank you, for the consideration all the same. I am certain we will see each other again once we return to Remnant . . . of sorts, anyway.
How are you doing, Yang? I also noticed Miss Belladonna's name etched into the wall, when I went to visit.
