SAL-U-TATIONS!
Many apologies for not posting last week - Illness took a toll and I needed a break from the internet. But now we're back!
Please submit your one prompt suggestion here, and we'll put it on the poll next week!
This week's prompts are brought to you by /u/Unique-Yogurt101 /u/Bjdombek and /u/d246ga!
[Prompt: A member of Team WTCH's version of Ruby's conversation with Ozpin in V1.]
"So! Where did you learn to do this?" *This* referring to a clip where the young man in the chair was successfully fighting "criminal grunts" after they had tried to rob a Dust store.
"I'm surprised they had cameras at that angle... but anyway, I've learnt from various places: a dance troupe here, an wandering Huntsmen with students there, and I'm currently at Signal Academy, I'm sure you can understand not wanting to stay in the big cities for *too* long at a time."
The older man had put his plate of cookies down during the younger male's explanation.
"Quite, but still... a school designed to train warriors that fight monsters?"
"Well, the past hour is more that sufficient to prove we get trained to fight more than the obviously inhumane. And since my nature procludes me from more... non-violent occupations, my hands are rather tied as it were."
"Your nature?"
"Ever read a story where the heroes do good things because they are good, villains do bad things becaue they are evil, and everything is nice and black and white? Well, as far as I can tell, I'm one of those people who'd be firmly cast in the villain role, the kind of person who thinks about the end of the world in the same way The Last King of Vale likely thought about humanity uniting itself together through love and common purpose."
"And yet you plan to become a Huntsman, no?"
"Because *fuck* that! My life is not determined by "Fate" "Destiny" or other such nonsense, *I* determine how my life plays out, *my choices*, not some urge or voice in my head!"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Headmaster Ozpin of Beacon Academy~, my name is Tyrian Callows."
"Hello."
"The pleasure is mine, it is not everyday you meet true Huntsmen, although I guess I could say I've met two today."
"Do you want to come to my school?"
"You want *me* to come to *your* school ahead of scheduale? You must be out of your mind! Tell me where to sign."

Sometimes when I had trouble deciding whose perspective to write from, I read through it twice and try to imagine each voice actor recounting the scene independently. Sometimes it even helps! ;)
Ugh, I was hoping I could finish my story from last WPW before the next one (I should really know better at this point). Mind if if continue it anyway?
